Re: networking under DOS

in Milliways
I'm glad someone bought up NetBEUI. It's a lot smaller than the MS TCPIP stack Microsoft Network Client 3.0 and most older OS's supported it out of the box. It's non routable and a different network protocol so no problems with it being hacked via the internet. I also use the mTCP suite of programs …

Re: "...not a valid win32 application"

in DOS
Notice how I get my message across in a few sentences? I noticed a lot of things, yes, sir. And I come to the conclusion that you purposely don't want to understand what I mean to say. 😔 Anyway, each to his own. Some people simply don't accept advices or can't be helped. Or even worse, the more you …

Re: "...not a valid win32 application"

Your opinion is obviously not shared by everybody. You really need to get over that and except we all have different opions onj what we should run on OUR systems. Jeez, it's not about me. I'm not angry, either. I'm merely a long time observer of the situation with a teary eye sometimes. And …

Re: "...not a valid win32 application"

Only i that machime supports 32-bit OSs lol. 32-bit systems, OSs and applications are still useful today. Like this system for example. That's a different matter, of course. Running a 286 laptop with Windows 3.1 is fine. So is a Pentium II PC with Windows 98SE.. What I try to explain (oh god of …

Re: "...not a valid win32 application"

Keep in mind here that modern web browsers are usually multi-process applications. So even 32-bit web browsers can use more than 4 GB of RAM this way (when run on a 32-bit system with PAE patch, or unpatched 64-bit system). ^Not the best example, though. Memory limitations were the reason why …

Re: What happens on a Hayes modem when ATDT; is dialed?

in PC Emulation
ATDT = AT command, dial, tone dial ATDP = AT command, dial, impulse dial I've taken two picture with an "Elsa Microlink 56k internet". For a real test, though, some sort of land-line is required. Because, the modem complaints with a "NO DIALTONE", as the3dfxdude expected. It doesn't have to be the …

Re: "...not a valid win32 application"

in DOS
Not being in IT I'm confused why these experience Vogons members were unaware of it. I hoped from Dos/windows 3.1 about then to the original version of Windows 98. Missed Windows 95 completedly at home. I had that Windows 98 system sharing our internet connection with a 486 with redhat 6.0 on it …

Re: "...not a valid win32 application"

in DOS
@LSS10999 Thank you, now I do have a better understanding of the system area. I assumed that older drivers could be culprit, too. Unfortunately, I have little experience with programming them. One possible issue might be older compilers, I guess. Maybe they can't properly hangle values bigger than …
