Eliminate Quicken from Windows
0504 - ..
0505 - Summary/Objective
0506 -
050601 - This was eliminated by removing from win.ini the load command for the
050602 - quicken program. It was approximately the 2nd or 3rd line in win.ini.
050603 -
050604 - Not sure how helpful it was to apply the ideas at ref SDS 6 line
050605 - 050804. I did delete following:
050606 -
050607 - c: windows quicken.grp
050608 -
050609 -
050610 - Also removed the entry for Quicken in:
050611 -
050612 - c: windows progman.ini
050613 -
050614 - Possibly all of these are necessary to remove from Windows a call to
050615 - an application.

Screen Delayed in Reports, under Windows

0706 - Summary/Objective
0707 -
070701 - Implemented ideas developed from discussions with Microsoft this
070702 - morning to eliminate problem of delayed screens. While at Denis'
070703 - office I was only successful in eliminating the screen failure in
070704 - calling File List functions. Later in the afternoon, I discovered the
070705 - full solution.
070706 -
070707 - Since this work required changing config.sys, I changed config.sys and
070708 - autoexec.bat to improve memory management by about 20%. SDS should run
070709 - better in this environment.
070710 -
070711 - Before changes we had about 504 K free in Windows; running directly
070712 - under DOS we had about 517K available.
070713 -
070714 - After the changes shown below, the system reports 628K free in
070715 - Windows, and 638K running directly under DOS. This increases RAM
070716 - by about 117K, or 20%.
070717 -
070718 -

0709 -
0710 - Progress
0711 -
071101 - Implemented ideas developed at ref SDS 6 line 081008, to avoid problem
071102 - of screen not refreshing itself in Windows, after calling SDS File
071103 - List feature (F1 F3), which has been a continuing problem, ref SDS 5
071104 - line 050715. Made following changes:
071105 -
071106 - Original Config.sys
071107 -
071108 - DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
071109 - DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
071110 - DOS=HIGH
071111 - FILES=30
071112 - buffers=17
071113 - STACKS=9,256

071119 - DEVICE=C:\Windows\EMM386.EXE X=CC00-CFFF NOEMS I=E000-EFFF
071120 - DOS=HIGH,UMB
071121 - BUFFERS=10
071122 - FILES=30
071123 - STACKS=0,0
071124 - FCBS=1
071125 - SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /P
071126 -
071127 - Note: adding "/m:1" eliminated the problem of delayed
071128 - screens experienced when doing SDS file list functions
071129 - under Windows; but did not eliminate delayed screens doing
071130 - SDS reports under Windows.
071131 -
071132 - Further research showed the solution to the full problem
071133 - seems to require following additional param:

071168 - WIN
071169 -
071170 - ** I do not recommend using DOS as "TEMP" directory, since there
071171 - is the potential for cross linked files between permanent stuff
071172 - and "temporary" stuff. Since Denis has evidently been using
071173 - this configuration successfully for sometime, I did not change
071174 - it today. It does not directly impact the objective to improve
071175 - memory management and eliminate the screen refresh delay.

071178 - SDS Reports Hanging System
071179 -
071180 - After making the above changes, we tried several File List operations,
071181 - and found the screen immediately showed the file lists. I thought this
071182 - ended this problem. Later we were doing SDS reports on Subjects, and
071183 - the report output screens failed to appear. We had to minimize them
071184 - then maximize them, to make them visible.

120601 - This worked going from my machine to Denis's, but initially there was
120602 - a big mess when we tried to transfer from Denis' computer to a disk.
120603 -
120604 - Had to clean this up with chkdsk /f. Got most of it, but not
120605 - all. The main problem may simply be that he needs to do
120606 - maintenance on his disk periodically.

161101 - Line 82 - tried making left margin 30.
161102 -
161103 - Actually, it appears to me the left margin is already set to 30,
161104 - so I don't understand why it is necessary to change anything.
161105 -
161106 - In fact I did not change anything. The SDS default works
161107 - perfectly, in aligning the left margin of text with KH's
161108 - letterhead design.

161501 - Line 47 - made subject offset to dot 665
161502 -
161503 - made ref 1st offset to dot 590; 2nd dot is 665.
161504 -
161505 -
161506 - File 0501 shows the default horizontal dot position for Subject is
161507 - 585. The horizontal position for Ref is 510 for item designator
161508 - (e.g. "a.", "b.", etc.), and 585 for the field contents.
161509 -
161510 - The only change I made to the above standard SDS configuration, was
161511 - to increase the horizontal dot position for Subject and Ref, to 665,
161512 - or by 80 dots.
161513 -
161514 - The fact that a single left margin parameter can be consistent with
161515 - horizontal position parameters that differ by 80 dots, suggests a
161516 - difference between the design of the printers. KH has an HP
161517 - Laserjet, we have a Panasonic KX P4450. They appear to interpret a
161518 - common command language slightly different.
