0814 - Denis' Computer
0815 -
081501 - Seems to have a 120M disk, formatted to 124M.  It has about 25 MB of
081502 - stuff, so there are about 99 MB available before installing SDS.
081503 -
081504 - Disk is very slow, and processor is slow.
081505 -
081506 -     Loading SDS initially is slow, calling records from Schedule is
081507 -     very slow.  The menu is slow.  Just scrolling a large file is
081508 -     slow and jumpy.
081509 -
081510 -         This is not a good environment for SDS.
081511 -
081512 -
081513 -     I tried to run Norton SI, and it crashed, indicating the processor
081514 -     and/or BIOS is very old technology.
081515 -
081516 -
081517 -
081518 - Configuration & Memory
081519 -
081520 - There is only about 540K free at DOS, and 529K under Windows.
081521 -
081522 - Looks like smartdrv.exe is not loaded high
081523 -
081524 - Mouse is not loaded in either auto or config, and so is not loaded
081525 - high.
081526 -
081527 - Emm386.exe is not called in config.sys
081528 -
081529 - I need to check on RAM  under Windows, and the configuration.  Denis'
081530 - machine is showing only about 529K free.  He is using following
081531 - control programs:
081532 -
081533 -
081534 -      Config.sys - Denis
081535 -
081536 -      DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
081537 -      DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
081538 -      DOS=HIGH
081539 -      FILES=30
081540 -      buffers=17
081541 -      STACKS=9,256
081542 -
081543 -
081544 -      Autoexec.bat - Denis
081545 -
081546 -      C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE
081547 -      @ECHO OFF
081548 -      PROMPT $p$g
081549 -      PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\DOS;C:\sd\01
081550 -      SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
081551 -      PATH=%PATH%;C:\NETLINE
081552 -      NetLine DEN COM2 /D=C /T=10 /LPT1=MKT
081553 -      NLMenu /k=1 /G
081554 -      path c:\dos;c:\windows;c:\xtgold
081555 -      win
081556 -
081557 -
081558 -     I created a task for Denis to inquire from his hardware vendor
081559 -     about modifying config.sys and autoexec.bat.
081560 -
081561 -          Possibly the reason he is not using emm386.exe, and loading
081562 -          smartdrv and the mouse high, is because his computer's BIOS
081563 -          cannot handle it.  If this is a 286 processor, which it seems
081564 -          to be, it may not work.  Actually he is running Windows 3.1,
081565 -          which indicates it is a 386, but maybe it is an early one.
081566 -
081567 -
081568 - I will study this further at home.
081569 -
081570 -
081571 -
081572 - Mouse Defective
081573 -
081574 - Denis has a Microsoft mouse.  It is very jumpy, and so is difficult to
081575 - work with.
081576 -
081577 -
081578 -
0816 -
0817 -
0818 - Windows
0819 -
081901 - They are running Windows 3.1
081902 -
081903 - The Windows directory does not seem to have a subdirectory for icon
081904 - symbols.  I put sds4.ico in the c: windows, directory.
081905 -
081906 - Installed SDS in Windows, per ref SDS 6 line 061301.
081907 -
081908 -
081909 -
081910 - SDS Mouse Problem
081911 -
081912 - Does not have a mouse driver in DOS directory.  There is no mouse.exe
081913 - or mouse.sys on system.  There is a mouse.ini and mouse.drv in
081914 - Windows directory.
081915 -
081916 - Mouse in Windows would not operate in SDS.
081917 -
081918 -
081919 -    Microsoft Mouse Driver
081920 -
081921 -    I loaded our mouse driver from DOS on CPU #7, into the DOS
081922 -    directory on Denis' computer.
081923 -
081924 -    This enabled the mouse on his computer in SDS under Windows.

082302 - verify all that stuff is working correctly.
