The following Hayes commands represent industry standards.  These are included as part of the information we are providing new modem ans BBS users as part of Online Training.----Lois Laulicht; ccc of wv Introduction This chapter describes the AT command set. If you're using communication software, you shouldn't have to use AT commands. Your modem will be controlled by your communications software. However, if you are writing software that you want to control the modem, or if you want to undderstand the "behind the scenes" operation of the modem, you'll want to learn more about the AT command set. Major topics discussed in this following section include:         *   Command Execution         *   Command Guidelines         *   AT Immediate Commands         *   AT Set Commands         *   AT Commands for Optiona...

                          INTERLEAVING      When  physically  sequential sectors of the disk are  to  be read,  each  sector reaches the read/write head before a read  or write  operation  can be set up.   The disk must make a  complete rotation to pick up the next sector. For example, when an attempt is  made to read 31 sectors of a particular track,  31  rotations are required.   This takes up a considerable amount of time,  but performance can be significantly improved by proper interleaving.      Thå optimum interleave value depends on many  factors   such as  the  bus  and processor speed of  your  computer,  number  of buffers,  drive speed,  controller capability, etc.  The simplest way  to  determine  the...

ID:V1 What is Virtualizing? Quarterdeck Technical Bulletin #229 by Michael Bolton and Eric Wieling Q. What is virtualizing? Q. What does "virtualize text and graphics" mean? Q. What does "writes directly to screen" mean? Q. How can I tell if my program writes directly to screen? Q. I've set "Runs in background" to Y.  Why isn't my program running in    background? Q. What is virtualizing? Programs can handle display in three ways in DESQview parlance.  These are explained in more detail below, but briefly, 1) the "well-behaved" application uses DOS or your system's BIOS    services to display its information; 2) the "DESQview-aware" program writes directly to the screen when not    running under DESQview, but writes to a special area of memory (under    DESQview's control) so that DESQview may properly manage display of    multiple windows. 3) the "misbehaved" application writes directl...
