Friday - April 28, 1989
The Future of DOS - Will You Be Forced To Abandon It?
.
DOS has become the most popular operating system on the planet
Earth. Millions of people use it every day. Now OS/2 and Unix
are being offered to PC users to enhance the capabilities of
their computers. Do you need to change? Maybe not. This
seminar will cover how DOS can be used far into the future.
There are ways to get DOS to manage almost all of the features of
these other operating systems, and yet still use much of the
hardware and software you have today. Find out how DOS can be
improved, expanded, and extended.
.
Saturday - April 29, 1989
Expanded and Extended Memory - What is it? How do you use it?
.
For PC-DOS computers, the amount of memory you have is not always
as important as what kind of memory it is. Some people wonder
how it can be that they have 2 megabytes of memory and yet they
can only use 640K of it. Gary Saxer, one of the country's top
experts on DOS memory, will explain the differences between
Conventional, Reserved, Extended, Expanded, Enhanced Expanded,
and EMS4 memory. Tips on how to get the best out of your current
memory and methods to improve memory use and availability will be
covered. Also, methods to convert useless memory into memory
that DOS can handle will be explained.
.
Sunday - April 30, 1989
Optimizing Telecommunications under Multi-tasking
.
Many people use DESQview to run several programs at the same
time, often called multitasking. Those who use communications
programs along with other programs are especially concerned with
performance and reliability. Gary Saxer, Director of Technical
Services for Quarterdeck Office Systems, the developers of
DESQview, will explain several tricks and important rules for
running communications programs in the background. Starting with
the basic concepts and proceeding to very technical details, the
seminar will cover both the hardware and software aspects of
multitasking communications programs.
