Series Question: Assuming they don't want FAT32, Long Filename support, or Sockets, why should my customer upgrade to the newest ROM-DOS? Answer: Since our first FAT32 and LFN release 4.00.1091, there have been several improvements to the core ROM- DOS kernel. This core code is used primarily for our DOS 6.22 compatible compilations, and then extended in the case of a FAT32 or Long Filename build. The 4.00.1091 release is also a new code base and there will be no further upgrades to the previous DOS 6.22 code. In order to obtain new features, fixes, and support a customer must upgrade to release 4.00.1091 or greater. Along with the performance enhancements for both size and speed, several corrections have been made to the ROM-DOS kernel. These include stack and memory issues, disk access issues, and compatibility with the former market leader in DOS. Most of the ROM-DOS utilities have also been improved for size and speed, along with bug fixes. The major changes happened with the XCOPY, HIMEM, MSCDEX, CHKDSK, FDISK and FORMAT utilities. In the realm of international support, the Euro was added to the keyboard and display driver code. ROM- DOS and PC-DOS 2000 are the only non-GUI operating systems to support the Euro. Finally, new ROM-DOS utilities have been added.

  • 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. Journey well, and peace be with you. —The Bethesda Team Installing the Game Place the CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. Type the drive letter followed by a colon (Ex: D: for most CD-ROM drives) and hit <ENTER>. Next type INSTALL and hit <ENTER>. If you are installing Arena from floppy disks, select ‘Install Game’ and follow the prompts. Because you are installing from the CDROM, 5 megabytes of data will be copied to your hard drive when you select ‘Exit’. The next step is to configure your game (see below). Configuring Arena to your System To configure any Sound FX and Music drivers once Arena has successfully installed (if you wish to play the game with sound and/or music), choose the ‘Configure Game’ option.

  • Design of the PATHWORKS for ULTRIX File Server by Anthony J
    Design of the PATHWORKS for ULTRIX File Server By Anthony J. Rizzolo, Elizabeth A. Brewer, and Martha A. Chandler 1 Abstract The PATHWORKS for ULTRIX product integrates personal computers with the ULTRIX operating system on a local area network. The software supports both the TCP/IP protocol and the DECnet transport stacks. The design and implementation of the PATHWORKS for ULTRIX file server is based on a client-server model. The server provides file, print, mail, and time services to client PCs on the network. Network file service management is accessed through a PC-style menu interface. The file server's performance was optimized to allow parallelism to occur when the client is generating data at the same time the server is writing the data to disk. 2 Introduction The PATHWORKS for ULTRIX file server connects industry-standard personal computers running Microsoft's server message block (SMB) protocol to Digital computers running the ULTRIX operating system. The server provides a network operating system for PC integration among users of the ULTRIX, DOS, and OS/2 operating systems. The PATHWORKS for ULTRIX server provides file, print, mail, and time services to client PCs on the network. The software is layered on VAX systems and on reduced instruction set computer (RISC) hardware. It supports both the transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) and the DECnet transport stacks. The base product also provides centralized server-based management accessed through a PC-style menu interface. In addition, the PATHWORKS for ULTRIX server implements a network basic I/O system (NetBIOS) naming service that allows clients on the network to obtain the DECnet node address of the server in the DECnet environment or the TCP/IP address of the server in the TCP/IP environment.
