 Hi netlander
  There was no me too to the questions 1-12 that I have asked. But I 'll post
  a summary anyway after the new questions answer.  There are 2 questions
  from last post that was not discuss fully, so I restated my questions.
  Please look :8)
  thanks in advance. new explorer of ibm

   1.   
   2.  why is it cga on ega is very coarse, i.e. you can see hole in color.
       is there a fix?.  However if a card for cga has composite output then
       the composite is very smooth
       what is the different in composite & rgb cga programming? example
       some game will tailor to either composite & rgb display (jet)
       then the composite look better then the cga in term of texture
       (not color & resolution) .How is that possible (I know they put data 
       into a special segment hb800 or something but there seem to has a 
       software switch because the cga display will look even worse. 

   3.   4.   5.   6.   7.   8.   9.
   10.what is the one software that help you improve your productivity most 
      i.e. what programmer's tool in PD & SW? or you just use ordinary
      compiler_editor (turbo-*,masm) why don't we (programmers) produce 
      softwares to help ourself ? 
      example   / special ascii editor / debuger: flow analyzer,tracer/
     		/disassembler/  hardware reference book/   libary  
		libary for a particular language? 
	libary in asm-32 bit  i.e. 386 to fundamental thing ? 
     Now simtel does have alots but most of them is for users (general)
     not specific ( improve programmers' productivity)
  11.    12.
  13. Is the most important thing to a programmer's productivity
      is programs/routines-libary that he had written.
      Why don't very useful libary that every one needs be in PD then
      produce program become must faster and less duplicate effort so much

  14. Is there a net address for shareware programmers as a group? 
  15. How to access a drive(40 mb) that MS-DOS (3.2) cannot access
      not counting using higher DOS version?  Is it possible?

  16. Can anyone give me source code for a TSR that intercept other
      program as example to write my own (don't have to be long or 
      do complicate thing)
  17. is there a calculator TSR that'll do hex,bin manipulation
      (convert,+,-,*,/,.....) with/without mouse 
  18. what are the 5 most useful TSR that you are using? where you got 
      them? not counting virus scanner and keyboard assignment 
no flame on spelling
