White Book
Message #52739
Matt, Sorry it took so long to get back with you. The "White book" standard, according to what I am told, was released in March of this year. Everyone I have talked to has not seen this standard yet (at least in the USA). I have been given a contact…
#Shogo's Adventure
Message #52177
Tim, I did not see that message, but did see one posted by Phillips. They indicated that JVC, Matsushita, Phillips and Sony are establishing a Video CD format based upon the Karaoke CD standard ("White Book"). But, from what I gather, Shogo is working on a way to take this…
CD-ROM XA
Message #52160
John, Streaming the video and audio data is the way to go. However, in all fairness to other methods of multi-media, XA is not the only method of "streaming" the data. There are a couple of software methods of combining the audio and video together in one stream. However on…
#Shogo's Adventure
Message #52159
Kathy, >> That's ok. Are you in this area? Yes. Thanks for the clarification about Shogo's new ideas. There's only _one_ major drawback for me…. if this idea catches on, and the VHS titles go the way of the dodo bird, then how am I going to buy all those…
Jerry, Ask and ye shall receive! I uploaded the ASCII version of the article today! Howard Johnson [Computer Digest]

Message #51382
I have had a couple of questions about XA in various CD-ROM forums. I have also had a request or two to post my articles up here. Always being glad to help out where I can, I have uploaded my Computer Digest article for July, dealing with XA multimedia technology.…

#Encarta
Message #51381
Glen, From what I am told from Microsoft, their Encarta product is using SoftwareXA from Mammoth Micro Productions. I *have not* seen Encarta, so I cannot say how you can tell what type search engine it is, etc. It may not be obvious that SoftwareXA is the engine. Using SoftwareXA…
#Mounting CD's
Message #50842
Matt, Maybe I misunderstood the question… I thought the user was asking whether there was a way around unmount, change CD, remount CD as physical actions…. Even using the fast NLM that you have requires these physical actions… correct? Howard Johnson [Computer Digest]
Jordan, The model to use is the CDU-541 (their newer drive), 380msec, 150KB, 64K buffer. It performed fine on the network using SCSI Express. Howard Johnson [Computer Digest]
Chris, What I will do is type a summary of the pertinent parts of the article and upload it. The article itself is a review of the CDROM.NLM for Netware 4.0. In that review, I listed several desireable aspects of how the software should act. Based upon these things, Corel…
Bruce, I do not know of any other way around this situation, especially knowing the structure of Netware. In fact, this same approach has to be taken with the CDROM.NLM that comes with Netware 4.0. You have to dismount, change CD's, re-mount. The only thing I have never had to…
Bruce, Corel SCSI and SCSI Express take different approaches. I mentioned both of these approaches my recent magazine article. Before I answer your question…. are you looking for a software solution for Novell Netware??? Howard [Computer Digest]
