URLs of Useful Utilities Sought
Many thanks to Michael G and Gregy for their persistent indefatigable
pursuit of solutions here in the Digest that has been so educational for
non-gurus like me. Many thanks too to the responding Arachnid gurus who
have never lost patience in areas that many would consider arcane. They
have set a new standard in addressing these problems and all the others
throughout the year that makes this list, as has been already
acknowledged, the best on the Net. All this bodes remarkably well for
Arachne in this last year of the 20th century that will undoubtedly mark
the milestone launching of the only effective and stable DOS/Linux-based
WEB browser in the world. May the books be reopened next December to
salute this as the other Michael's significant contribution to the dying
millennium!
About those URLs for useful utilities:
- My PS/2 with DOS 6.2 reverted to April 1980 on Jan 1, but accepted
and retained the new year when entered under DATE at the DOS prompt.
My Win3.1 File Manager dates new year entries as "1/7/:0" instead of
the expected "1/7/00" What is the URL from which I can download the
fixing patch?
- I was astonished to find that my Lotus Organizer Release 1.1 gave me
yet another year, but 2000 will be the last. Is there an upgrade
available from the WEB that will work with Win3.1 to extend use into
the next millennium?
- A good backup discipline is my main protection from viruses, but that
"CMOS Boot Sector Write Alarm" seems a good tool to install. From
where? Otherwise I have used McAfee ever since infected with Monkey
several years ago, but the more recent issues seem beyond
installation for me. Besides that, a TSR Sentry seems to slow me
down too much. How susceptible are Arachnids anyway to infection?
- Finally, a silly one. Years of correspondence files using my own
naming convention [eg "91231a}.arc"] to keep them in chronological
order whether incoming[{] or outgoing[}] has been thrown for a loop.
I have adopted "o" for the year for now, but there has to be a better
way!?
The new thread on System Optimization seems promising. I hope the
results will be summarized in Teilnehmer's outstanding Arachne Help Page
in due course, together with all the other recent discoveries.
Yours, Aye for the New Year
Stephen.
