REPLIES TO VARIOUS SUBJECTS:
1). From "Bob Marley" (address given as BAILEYS%.... in digest no
625- RE: Tech Specialties Catalog.
I had a bad experience with Tech Specialties on a disk drive kit.
Colleagues of mine have had bad experiences with deleiveries of
"Tower cases". I would not buy anything from them. Some maga-
zines no longer accept their advertising.
They failed to deliver their products in a timely manner and then
failed to support them once delivered.
2). To "Marty" with the boot problem - The symptoms you describe almost
always go away when you replace a defective .ACC file with a good
copy. You may also be experiencing marginal reading ability from
your disc drive. Strip away all .ACC's and start over. Autoboots
can also cause this problem. Strip them out and reload them
on at a time until you find the one that causes the problem. Also
make sure that your machine has been turned off long enough to clear
RAM.
3) Request for Uniterm on Disc - Get hold of a copy of Current Notes
Magazine from your local store. Uniterm is in their PD library.
If it is not listed in the latest issue just check with the
publisher at the address given in the magazine. I think the disk
number is around 302.
4). To Mustafa Thamer: There are a couple of decent command shells.
The one I use most often is DO_IT! from QMI. In the PD world
there is GULAM (look for it in the NET World) for those who
insist on unix-like obscurity. There are a couple of simpler
ones like PCOMMAND available from Current Notes.
