      Features.  E            DEC SoftPC is a software emulation of an IBM PC AT with an.C            Intel 80286 CPU and an Intel 80827 math coprocessor. DEC.-            SoftPC has the following features:               o  Freeze option   ;               The Freeze option allows you to put an MS-DOSi?               application on hold, release the CPU to return to.C               the VMS environment, and then run an VMS application..@               With a few mouse clicks you can resume your MS-DOS               application.              o  VGA compatibility.  @               The DEC SoftPC screen can emulate a VGA-compatible               display.  E               If you are installing applications software on a VT220, !               you must enter MDA..  +            o  Access to 32 Mbytes of memory   @               DEC SoftPC emulates the LIM Expanded Memory SystemA               through the EM_DRVR.SYS driver. MS-DOS applications-B               such as Lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft Windows, and DESQview>               can access a block of memory containing up to 32               Mbytes.             1-2 Overviews .  .            *               o  Nonvolatile RAM emulation  ?                  The PC AT holds nonvolatile RAM on a low-powerr@                  consumption CMOS chip. DEC SoftPC emulates thisE                  feature with a file, SPCCMOS.RAM. This file includes.E                  information about the size and density of disks, theMF                  amount of LIM memory, and the real-time clock. If DECE                  SoftPC does not find a SPCCMOS.RAM file in your homeO9                  directory, it creates a default version.f  F                 ________________________Note  ________________________  B                 DEC SoftPC may create a CMOS.RAM file in your home                 directory.  E                 _____________________________________________________   +         DEC SoftPC Version 4.0 Enhancements.  D               DEC SoftPC Version 4.0 has the following enhancements:  +               o  Motif-based user interfaceo  F               o  Support for protected-mode operation (this also means>                  support of Windows Version 3.1 Standard Mode)  '               o  Super VGA (256 colors)   H               o  Autoflush availability (flushing occurs 1 to 50 seconds,                  after the buffer is loaded)  F               o  FPU emulator (ability to turn on and off the hardware*                  floating-point emulation)  -               o  Menu-driven keyboard mapping-  -               o  Extended and expanded memory.  8               o  Support for Microsoft CD-ROM extensions  &               o  Multiple window sizes  9               o  Support for both A: and B: floppy drives.  8               o  Support for hard disks up to 300 Mbytes  '               o  Support for MS-DOS 5.0.  H                                                             Overview 1-3 D                     H                                                                        2H         ________________________________________________________________  H                                        Using DEC SoftPC on a Workstation      ,               This chapter describes how to:  !               o  Start DEC SoftPC.  (               o  Use the pull-down menus  /               o  Save files and exit DEC SoftPC.  4               o  Increase the DEC SoftPC window size  2               o  Use the mouse in an MS-DOS window  .               o  Use the mouse in a VMS window                 o  Cut and paste  -               o  Perform a full MS-DOS reboot   (               o  Stop the MS-DOS process  ,               o  Switch the sound on and off  4               o  Switch the FPU Emulation on and off  E               DEC SoftPC installation instructions are in Appendix A.S                    H                                    Using DEC SoftPC on a Workstation 2-1 .  .                        Start DEC SoftPCi  :            To start DEC SoftPC from the VMS prompt, enter:              $ SoftPCs  6            Result: The DEC SoftPC window is displayed.  B            (You can also install DEC SoftPC to run as a Motif menu            item.)V  C               ________________________Note ________________________n  B               If you are using DEC SoftPC with a floppy disk driveA               and start DEC SoftPC without a physical floppy disk A               in the drive, some versions of VMS appear to stall.d>               DEC SoftPC might take up to 75 seconds to start.  C               _____________________________________________________t        Use the Pull-down Menus  D            The menu bar at the top of the window contains the words:C            File, Options, and Actions.

The reason may be that DEC D               SoftPC does not always detect when a PC application isD               idle. You could also check the CPU usage to see if DECD               SoftPC is running continuously.

You can, however, have a A            drive C: up to 300 Mbytes. You do this by making a new @            hard disk. See Creating a New Hard Disk later in thisE            chapter for instructions. The name of the original file is E            3MB.HDF. This file contains MS-DOS, GW BASIC, and Insignia !            utilities and drivers.s              Drive D:   C            Drive D: does not initially exist.

Each drive is similar to?            a networked drive on a real PC, but in fact is a VMS B            directory. These drives look like regular hard disks to            MS-DOS.  B            Files in E: through Z: can be shared between native VMSB            and PC applications. The drives can be local or remote.D            Drives E: through Z: are called FSA Root Directory on the            options menu.              CD-ROM Driveu  C            DEC SoftPC provides the ability to attach a CD-ROM drivesB            (RRD42). To use a CD-ROM drive, the Microsoft ExtensionA            MSCDEX.EXE must be used. See Using the CD-ROM later inr-            this chapter for more information.h              Sharing Files  A            Be careful when simultaneously sharing hard disk files A            between workstations. DOS does not handle simultaneousiB            file sharing in a foolproof manner. Sharing files might?            lead to corrupted files.

Because the IBM Graphics Printer is a relativelyaE               slow device, DEC SoftPC may send characters faster than A               they can be handled. The printer does not recognizeeD               this condition because the serial card does not send aB               detectable response. Using a low baud rate may help.  .            o  Packages that do not examine RD.  E               Packages that do not examine RD on the emulated adapteroC               to detect the state of the device may cause problems.   @               For example, Crosstalk XVI ignores Hayes responses@               from the modem. As a result, the package indicates?               "connected" as soon as you start dialing, and the A               subsequent modem responses appear as on-screen texteE               rather than being processed by the package. If you wait:B               for the remote system to respond, the package should&               transfer data correctly.              o  Hardware devices.   <               Hardware devices designed to prevent misuse ofD               applications that depend on accurate timing of signals3               through the serial port may not work.C  =               This occurs because the time interval between am@               transition on a serial port line and the resulting>               change of state of the software signals from the?               operating system depends on other activity. TheseeA               critical times cannot be determined with sufficienta>               resolution to satisfy the tight time constraints@               enforced by some hardware copy protection devices.  >            o  Interaction between the operating system and DEC               SoftPC.   +      D-2 DEC SoftPC's Serial Port Emulationr a  o            F                  At some speeds, the interaction between the operatingF                  system and DEC SoftPC causes unreliable operation. If5                  this happens, reduce the line speed.     )         Serial Port Emulation Limitationsa  D               DEC SoftPC does not fully emulate the IBM PC AT serialD               port because of limitations in the device drivers that5               determine the state of the serial port.a  +               Generally, these limitations:o  A               o  Prevent the detection of some types of errors byiA                  packages, particularly those using DSR (data sete                  ready).  B               o  Prevent DEC SoftPC from recognizing when a device1                  responds to RTS (ready to send).   D               o  Restrict the range of line disciplines you can use.  H               Figure D-1 diagrams how DEC SoftPC's serial port emulation*               handles the various signals.                                          H                                   DEC SoftPC's Serial Port Emulation D-3 t  s            ?            Figure D-2 and Figure D-3 illustrate how to make twot             physical connections.              Note:  E            o  The DTR (data terminal ready) modem output signal loops D               back into DSR (data set ready) by software. This meansB               that devices can detect DTR, but a response from theB               device through DSR cannot be detected in DEC SoftPC.  D            o  The RLSD/DCD (received line signal detect/data carrierD               detect) modem input signal cannot be detected. The DTR@               (data terminal ready) modem signal loops back into#               RLSD/DCD by software.d  D            o  The RTS (ready to send) modem output signal loops backC               by software into CTS (clear to send). This means thateD               devices can detect RTS, but a response from the device;               through CTS cannot be detected by DEC SoftPC.   @            o  The CTS modem input signal cannot be detected.

You usually need a DTE-DTE cable to connect aD               Digital workstation to a printer, terminal, or anotherH               computer. This cable has the data lines crossed over. ThisF               means data output from one side arrives at the input pinF               on the other side, and vice versa. Modem control signals;               are usually crossed over in a similar manner.   C               If both the Digital workstation and the serial deviceTD               have plug 25-pin D-type connectors, a suitable DigitalH               cable is BC22D or equivalent.

Motif Window Manager to disable_E               Motif so that all keystrokes go directly to DEC SoftPC.   D               LK401_solution: Use the left Compose Character key forC               left ALT functions or use the Motif Window Manager to E               disable Motif so that all keystrokes go directly to DEC                SoftPC.s                H 
