[ProgSoc] Still faking it [after all these years]

[Jedd <jedd@nospam.progsoc.uts.edu.au>]

 Howdi,

 Thanks for the responses.

 To summarise (and allay fears) :

 If you're using 32-bit network drivers under '95, you
 can't 'net use' your drive prior to the GUI starting.  I
 entertained dropping back to 16-bit DOS drivers,
 and running them up prior to the GUI ... but it seems
 an inelegant approach, plus I'll take a performance hit.
 (No comments on win95's protocol stack, thanks :-)

 If you have a licence for two things, say, that can both
 be run from the CD - eg. Office97 and Encyclpaedia
 Britannica - you're a mite stuffed if you want to use them
 concurrently.  Particularly so if you want to use them
 and listen to a CD.  There are plenty more examples
 around, and some of them are even less polite.  PS - I
 can highly recommend EB.  Sadly it doesn't look like it'd
 run under linux, but I haven't tried forcing it yet.

 I've tried 'fakecd' and 'cdsimul', but neither do what I
 need.  'Fakedir', apart from having a sum total of 9
 references on alta-vista, most of them in swedish (bork
 bork), says "This program is a little tool to created
 0-Byte-Fakefiles of all files in one driectory" - and I just
 can't see how that'd help.

 So - I'm still looking.  {hint hint}

 Jedd.
