	Hi, now that I got your attention I was hoping you would be
so kind as to lend me your experience/expertise on several topics I
have been mulling over recently. Let me first qualify myself as the
proud owner of a NeXT Color Turbo Station w/ 250Mb HD and 16Mb Ram,
if it makes any difference.

1)	Is there a graphics library package which can be linked with
	C programs allowing pixel placement (similar to Borland C++
	getpixel() and putpixel() routines)?  I guess I would like to
	open a 640x480 window, background originally set to something,
	and fill it in pixel-by-pixel.

2)	Where is the swapfile?

3)	Is there a monitor-screen cover so it doen't get scatched?

4)	I want to add more RAM in the smallest increments necessary
	but insuring I can add up to 32Mb without ever having to
	take out a SIMM.

5)	How do I change SoftPCv2.0's harddrive size to say 30Mb?  Also,
	how do I get it to recognize to A> drive. Now, when I go to
	Preferences and choose Floppy A: and select Internal, it comes
	back with " Cannot gain access to the real floppy device. Check
	permissions on /dev/rfd0b" -- which is currenly crw-r----- 1 root.
	When I become root and try it again it returns: "Unable to open
	floppy device: possibly empty drive?"

6)	I would like to connect my Hayes compatable modem and dot matrix
	printer...

	Please e-mail me at KeNT.Virginia.Edu  		/*  Thanks!  */
