The MSBASIC Compiler is offline(like many files) at this time. Norton Utilities
are good for Hard drives(I know it won't accept 30 meg though) and might do the
trick for 20 meggers. If you plan to do the SN Zapping on a floppy, try the
Ultra-Utilities(MY PERSONAL FAVORITE). They are PD and can be easily found
almoost anywhere. The Listarchive thing, is actually a routine in Pascal that
goes to read the file. It errors out because the file isn't there. Currently, I
have not been able to get the Drives restored and we had problems with another
30 megger so we are down to only 30. Hopefully some positive things happen soon
for the future here. It's pretty tough keeping up with all the heavy shit that
is happening. Anyways, Hang in there and we should be back up to par in a
couple weeks or so......

I was wondering. Since i don;t assoicate myself with Allnet. I am looking for
some ports in the Los Angeles Area, but have yet to find any? Anyone got any?
Also, what is the situation with metro? have they gone to 9 digits on all
ports? down here 213-202-6117 (metro port) seems to still be working with 6
digits? O'Yeah why i am at it, a friend at school ran into a Pbx.

1-800-262-5771? What is it? Or is it even a Pbx. Codes are 4 digits?

Let me know!

Cwk-

This is going to sound stupid:

1.) Dial '711'
2.) Wait for dial-tone
3.) Dial '6'
4.) Hang Up!

It'll ring in about 20 seconds.

Yeah, it's been fine.  I've been chatting witha lot of people lately, it seems.
 First I talked to Thomas Covenant (a good pal) voice, then Harrison, The
Stranger, of the Darque Side.  (GREAT board.)

Hmmm...sounds like it's chatting season or something huh?  (that was stupid).
ANyways, Vortac is over here.  We just got back from throwing the ole softball
around (boy are we out of shape) and before that we were looking at the new
IBM's....again.  They are nice!  I'm probably looking at the model 60.  Man, we
took a dir of the thing on the Model 50/60 and it fucking cooked!  Talk about
fast!  It's like s-l-o-w on this damn thing in zoooomm   fucking fast!

Yeah, I wonder who IBM got to make the drives.  The 60's the floor-standing
286, right?

Yep, they're 286 processor, 32 bit bus(!!), 44/70meg HD built in, 1.44mg 3 1/2
floppy, 1 MG memory, room for another floppy/tape streamer (which?...hmmm) and
another HD.  VERY VERY VERY nice.

Yeah, I'm glad to see IBM going with the streamer.  Laterly, as a hobby, I've
been searching the PCmag's for a cheap tape backup...if you're going to run a
board, you should use that.  (And I do plan to run a board, probably off this
software, too.)
