Is there available a public domain mail program for MS-DOS?
(i.e., something which would allow me to work with unix mailbox
files downloaded to my DOS machine.)
There has been mention of a coprocessor emulator (in software).
A friend of mine could use this, could someone tell me its location?
I seem to remember mention of a program which will analyze your
AT's internal clock, and once it determines a percentage of time lost,
it will automaticaly reset the clock every x time period (on boot-up?).
Does such a program exist? If so, where might I find it?
Is there a program which elegantly keeps track of boot-ups? I leave
my computer on all of the time (it has my answering machine running within
it), and would like to know when the machine has rebooted due to power
failure, etc. I could easily write something which writes the time
and date to a file every boot-up, but I would also like to know how
long the machine was down. (Maybe I should just get an UPS. :)
I have a (genuine) Hayes 2400B internal modem which is not MNP5
compatible. My primary use is downloading files from a system with
hardware MNP5 capability. Is there a way I can use my system processor
to do the requisite compression, etc? (I have processor capability to
spare.) Preferably in a Telix or Procomm type of environment.
Please (if possible) e-mail answers, as I sometimes get behind
in reading this group.
(And since I'm posting anyway:)
For Sale: 80287 coproccesor, Intel Above Board LIM-EMS boards,
Diablo 630, 1.2 Meg Floppy, Tandy Model 100, Honda Accord ski rack,
Honda Accord deluxe carpet set, Kirby vacuum. (Most of the above
is new.)
Thanks,
Eric.
