  • Thank You for Purchasing the Elder Scrolls: Arena. Dedicated Rpgers
    The Elder Scrolls ARENA hank you for purchasing The Elder Scrolls: Arena. Dedicated RPGers have invested an incredible amount of effort into creating this detailed simulation. If you enjoy the game, please pass the word! There is no better advertising than a satisfied customer. TYou can also purchase the second chapter of The Elder Scrolls, entitled Daggerfall, in Fall 1996. TES: Daggerfall will feature the same open-endedness and breadth as Arena, but will feature increased NPC (Non-Player-Character) interaction, a faster, more sophisticated 3-D engine, and a more extensive storyline. With all the planned enhancements, Daggerfall will give you even more of an opportunity to role-play your character as you choose. We are very excited about Daggerfall and what it will mean to the role-playing community. On our part, we promise to keep bringing you the best in computer simulation software and welcome any suggestions you may have for how we can serve you better.

  • Ramcram.Txt MEMORY MANAGEMENT for CD-ROM WORKSTATIONS
    ramcram.txt MEMORY MANAGEMENT FOR CD-ROM WORKSTATIONS by Peter Brueggeman Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library University of California San Diego "Memory management for CD-ROM workstations, Part II", CD-ROM PROFESSIONAL, 4(6):74-78, November 1991. "Memory management for CD-ROM workstations, Part I", CD-ROM PROFESSIONAL, 4(5):39-43, September 1991. The nature of the memory in IBM compatible microcomputers can be confusing to understand and worse to manage. If you are lucky, everything runs fine on the CD-ROM workstation or network and an article on memory management will be interesting but lack immediacy. Try to load other software concurrent with CD-ROM software or to implement network access and you may be due for a crash course in DOS memory, its limitations, and management. Running CD-ROM software usually demands considerable memory resources. Software in general has become more memory-hungry with time, and CD-ROM software have a reputation for being very hungry. Many CD-ROM products state that 640K RAM memory is required; this is not the exact memory requirement of the CD-ROM software. The CD-ROM software itself uses some of the 640K RAM as does DOS. Rarely will the exact memory requirement of a CD-ROM software be readily accessible. Sales representatives usually will not know it and only experienced technical support staff may know. CD-ROM workstation/network managers should try to learn the exact memory requirement of their CD-ROM software. Knowing their memory requirement helps greatly in selecting the level of solution(s). Addressing memory shortfalls may involve considerable tinkering and patience and involve seemingly endless rebooting.

  • Bill Gates' Original Dream When He Created Microsoft Was to Have
    Bill Gates’ original dream when he created Microsoft was to have “a computer on every desk and i n every home, all running Microsoft software.” Clearly, he accomplished that goal. Depending on whose statistics you want to believe, Windows has a market share in the high 80% - low 90% rang e. So, unless you run Linux or prefer Mac OS X, chances are you’re a Windows user. When it comes to desktop operating systems, your choices are really pretty narrow. You either run Windows, or you do some Unix-like OS. There are the 12,000 different Linux distributions. There’ s always FreeBSD if you prefer your Unix without a Finnish flavor. You could go the vendor route and run AIX or HP-UX. Sun has Solaris, and as much as you might want to, you can’t forget SCO. And of course, there’s always Mac OS X. Although it may sound like variety when it comes down to it, it’s still Windows vs. Unix. There are other options, or at least there USED to be. Here are a list of five of the best operating s ystems that you probably never used. OS/2 No discussion can be had of Microsoft alternatives without mentioning OS/2. Until Microsoft ship ped Windows 2000 Professional, OS/2 4.0 was probably my desktop OS of choice. For the purpos es of this section, I’m referring to OS/2 2.0 and later, not IBM and Microsoft’s ill fated OS/2 1.x s eries. IBM billed OS/2 as being a “Better DOS than DOS” and a “Better Windows than Windows”.
