Not at this point. We are planning to port GeoWorlds to Windows 98, but this has been a low priority task compared with the otehr commits we have so far. Moreover, all our customers and beta testers use Windows NT machines.

Second, untar the decompressed file using a shareware tar utility. Place the ThoughtTreasure distribution in a convenient location on your hard disk such as C:\ThoughtTreasure. Click on the [Properties] icon. (In Windows 95/98, if you place the cursor on an icon, its name will be displayed underneath it.) Exit the MS-DOS window because the changes made do not take effect until a new MS-DOS window is started.

No. PortsLock only works on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP and it is impossible to install it on Windows 95/98 or Windows Me. However, if you would like to have user-level access control for TCP/IP connections on Windows 9x/Me, you can take a look at a third-party product - Internet Access Scheduler developed by Shatran Software.

Go to My Computer and then go to Control Panels. Then to Add/Remove Programs. NOTE: You may need your windows 95/98 disk. Click on the Windows Setup tab at the top of the page. This might take a few seconds for the computer to search for installed components. Double click on the Communications option and a list of components to install will appear. You could also just highlight the communications option and click on Details at the bottom of the page to get the same list.

If you want to control access to devices on Windows 9x/Me, you should look at DeviceLock? Millennium Edition.

Check the PCM-CR-I2ID ISA Card and locate the DataBook chipset on it. It should either be DB86072 or DB86082. Write that down. Verify that the jumper settings for the PCM-CR-I2ID ISA card are set to 240h. Download the PC300.EXE from the website and copy it to a floppy diskette. Run PCM-CR-I2ID on the diskette to extract the Windows INF file. Make sure there are no PCMCIA drivers that are loading in the CONFIG.SYS file or in Device Manager. If there are any, they must be removed.

CiteMaker is distributed executable that when run automatically installs CiteMaker. When you install CiteMaker make sure that you are not currently running FrameMaker. After the installation is complete, you will need to reboot your machine.

Install Windows 95/98 first, after that FreeBSD. FreeBSD's boot manager will then manage to boot Win95/98 and FreeBSD. If you install Windows 95/98 second, it will boorishly overwrite your boot manager without even asking. If that happens, see the next section.

On the Windows Setup tab, click on Communications (do not click on the check box next to Communications), then click on Details. Click to select the Dial-Up Networking check box, then click on OK on the Windows Setup tab, and click on OK. Windows 95/98 now installs the necessary components to use dial-up networking. Have your Windows 95/98 CD or disks ready.

If you need to install Windows NT and Linux on the same machine, read the Linux and NT HOWTO that has been prepared by Bernd Reichert. The latest version can be found at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html. Partition and install Windows NT first, making sure to leave space for Linux to place its partitions. If possible, do not create any logical partitions, as we have had reports of this causing problems. Get NT running and its boot loader happy.

Running DOS, go into the tools/ directory of your FreeBSD distribution and look for bootinst.exe. You run it like so: ...\TOOLS> bootinst.exe boot.bin Boot the FreeBSD boot floppy again and go to the Custom installation menu item. Choose Partition. Select the drive which used to contain your boot manager (likely the first one) and when you come to the partition editor for it, as the very first thing (e.g. do not make any changes) select (W)rite.

Click Start, then move the mouse cursor to Settings, then click Control Panel, then double-click Display, then click the Settings tab. Adjusting the slider bar generally tells you what you need to know about your video system's capabilities right away. Not necessarily. Many video cards have room for more memory chips. Sometimes adding RAM to your video card can increase the video card's display capabilities.

Download and install DJGPP version 2.01 or higher. DJGPP is a complete C/C++ development system for PCs that includes ports of many GNU development utilities including the gcc compiler. A makefile is present in the src directory of the ThoughtTreasure distribution. Edit the makefile for your platform, as explained in the makefile.

Make sure ThoughtTreasure is installed and compiled. (See "How do I install ThoughtTreasure under Windows 95/98?" and "How do I compile ThoughtTreasure under Windows 95/98?")

Yes, this is the easiest way to connect to mcsi.net and the way that we recommend the most. Review the manuals or on-line documentation for Dial up Networking.

Printed documentation comes with Windows 95/98, as well as some documentation on the CD-ROM. Help files are available from the Start menu. The Windows 95 Resource Kit contains in-depth information on Windows 95. It's available at bookstores and software stores. World Wide Web support for Windows 95/98 is at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/ http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/

In the one case I have been able to examine, following the steps in the question above (10.2.3) solved the problem.

In the sole case that I have been able to examine, following the instructions above (Q. 12.2.2) allowed the game to run.

I ran the vncserver program and got a 'Number found where operator expected', 'prototype mismatch' or 'out of memory' message. I started the X server using vncserver, but it dies with a message "Could not open default font 'fixed'. " I get errors like "failed to bind listener" and "Failed to establish all listening sockets" in the log file.

Yes. Right click on a shortcut of the program -> properties -> compatibility and check Run in compatibility mode.

No. Windows Me is designed to replace Windows 95 and 98. You can, however dual boot Windows Me with Windows 2000, or use a third party utility, such as System Commander or BootIt Direct, if you wish to dual boot Windows Me with Win9x.

Possibly, depending on your hardware and installation. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it crashes as soon as you run it. You may have better luck if you set the following settings for the MS-DOS session that the game will run in (right click on CDSHOCK.BAT or SSHOCK.BAT, depending on which version of the game you're running) and select Properties.)

The PCAUSA SNTRANS project is an example NDIS 3.1 PROTOCOL virtual device driver for Windows 95. SNTRANS is written in the 'C' programming language specifically for VtoolsD for VxD framework, and provides a basic empty shell for developing your own protocol driver. SNTRANS is functional only to the extent that it registers the SNTRANS protocol and automatically binds to one MAC adapter, and unbinds when the driver is unloaded. No other functionality is provided in the sample.

In general IRDA ports provide a 3-4 ft range for the Mindpath Remote. A better option would be to use the Mindpath External IR receiver which provides upto a 50 ft range. To configure your laptop's IrDA Port for use with the Mind Path Remote, first go into the BIOS of the system and enable the Infrared Port on Com1 or an open Com Port. (Note: If you do not know how to enter your computer BIOS, contact your computer manufacturer.
