If Thanks for the reply, Jim. It confirmed my experiences with JOBSDUMP 4.1. Still puzzled as to why the good 'ole WOMBAT won't print out correctly on my LA50. I have some other VAX ReGIS screens I can try; but it might be interes to see if I can capture the WOMBAT image to file using JOBSDUMP, then uuencode it and send it to you via uucp so you can try it for yourself. --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Maryland - 301-622-2247 (1:109/123) ------------------------------ Date: 12-17-89 To: MIKE JANSON Subject: RE: AVAILABILITY OF CHESS From: FRANK MALLORY The only chess programs I have here are CHESDEMO.ZIP and DOSCHESS.ZIP.

In other words, the modem was instructed to dial, and succesfully performed that function, characters entered from the keyboard were recieved at the remote system, and no characters from the modem or the remote arrived at the screen. Now that I have the things, I sure hope I'm right! +vanhorn+ --- * Origin: Horsefeathers + Burn a flag for freedom! + (Opus 1:343/30) ------------------------------ Date: 12-18-89 (14:32) To: AMER NELSON Subject: RE: MS-DOS FOR DECMATE II From: TED STEVENS Thanks, Amer. DES has the xpu board (pc27x-ah) with 256k for _only_ $1285.00!! Needless to say, this is too rich for my blood. They don't seem to have discounted this price, even though the DECmate has been discontinued. Please let me know if you (or anyone else!) has a source for this item (8086 co-processor boeard for DECmate II, item # pc27x-ah or pc27x-aj) Thanks again, Ted --- * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Maryland - 301-622-2247 (Opus 1:109/123 ------------------------------ Date: 12-18-89 (15:38) To: ALL Subject: EXCHANGE From: RICH HUEBNER Hi All.
