Metaware?
Message #90157
I just dropped a grand on the Metaware C / Pharlap SDK combo, for some 3D Studio / AutoCAD development work. Can I use this to create Win32s and WinNT applications? Do I need to shell out for the official Microsoft compiler system, too? What's the minimum I need to…

Heh, money? What money? The AST system seems quite reasonable *when* you consider the capabilities of the system. A comparison shows the AST to provide more bang for the buck…I want a server that could get us through the next 4 years (Clinton pres.) if our budget gets cut. The…

ah the LUN issue. A touchy one it is indeed. As might be expected, there is the world way and the IBM way and as you might also expect, they ar ein fact different. To the world, LUN 0 and LUN 1 are harddrives. This extends into pre-SCSI and SASI…

#88830-#win 4.0 + unicode ?
Message #88973
Dan, It is not official but from my conversations with the MS folks there are currently no plans to implement Unicode in Win 4.0. There is a Unicode section on the MSWIN32 forum. I suspect that MS will first finish implementing Unicode on NT and see the public reaction before…

Message #88865
Dear George, Is it possible to create a DLL that will work in both Win 3.1 and Windows NT by using a compiles switch. We would like to have only one set of source code. Do you have any sample application code? Thanks, Bob

535 is supported? well then move ID to 4 and try another one. conner stuff will be the only sensible backup for awhile.
#88487-Accessing (none) drives
Message #88629
Exactly, because you are not redirecting a drive. In effect you are registering the remote resource with a piece of Windows NT networking software called the Multiple UNC Provider; you have established a session and not a logical connection. Therefore any subsequent I/O requests, etc that are made using that…

#CriticalSection Overhead
Message #88590
We are trying to assess the overhead involved when using E EnterCriticalSection/LeaveCriticalSection. Does anyone have an idea of the approximate number of CPU cycles used for these calls? Our proposed design may use a great number of these calls. Thanks Dave Gustafson/Jeff Huckins Santa Clara Plastics – (208)377-9700 There is…

Message #88434
Jim, you can browse the connection from a command line by issuing a "dir \\machine name\share point". Your connection is established, however file manager represents the net address of the connection by a drive letter. Since the drive letter does not exist, browsing would require you to supply the UNC…

Message #88232
Yea, RMA sounds good to me. I've done quite a few SCSI installations (based on messages, I'm sure not as many as you have) and I installed this no differently than the rest. SCSI ID set proper (forgot to check when I first installed and it didn't show up) and…

#Accessing (none) drives
Message #88153
Hi, Using the file manager I can setup network drive connections without selecting a drive-letter (ie. using the last item on the list (none) ) [This is what I have been looking for 🙂 ] Problem: File manager seems to establish the connection but does not provide me with a…
