Disk No: 2926 Disk Title: 386Test/WarpSpeed/VIz/UMAx PC-SIG Version: S1.0 Program Title: 386Test Author Version: 11/91 Author Registration: $25.00 Special Requirements: 80386, 80486, or 80586 processor. Hard drive recom 386TEST (TM) is a diagnostic program designed to test motherboards and system components. This program is used by a computer manufacturer to test their computers in a 110 degree burn-in room for 48 hours. Any computer with high quality, properly rated components can run this test for weeks without crashing. 386TEST tests all of the system's resources including the BIOS, CPU, NDP, Cache, RAM, Extended Memory, and Display Memory. Once started, 386TEST (TM) will run for 24 hours. The best time to use this program is when you receive your brand new computer. While you won't be able to use your new computer for one day, it is better to locate any problems as soon as possible and while your warranty is still good. If your system passes the 24 hour test, it should keep running. Program Title: WarpSpeed Author Version: 1.0 Author Registration: $20.00 Special Requirements: No special requirements. WARPSPEED is a shareware keyboard utility which will dramatically speed up the repetition rate of your keyboard, and it does it without overrun (when you release the key you have been holding down and the key continues to repeat). In addition, WARPSPEED does it using less than 1K of memory. Highly customizable, parameters can be specified when WARPSPEED is loaded or at any other time through the DOS command line or a batch file. You can turn WARPSPEED on or off, cause a speed-up delay, control overrun and repetition rate per second, unload it and reclaim memory, and display a reminder screen of WARPSPEED's parameters. Program Title: VIz Author Version: 4.20 Author Registration: $25.00 (plus S&H) Special Requirements: MDA/EGA/VGA or Hercules HGC/HGC+ and hard drive. VIZ is a small resident program that accelerates BIOS (and DOS) video input and output in text mode; it can be used with IBM-compatible MDA, EGA or VGA adapter cards and Hercules HGC and HGC+ cards. In its present version, VIZ produces video interference ("snow") in old CGA cards; for such systems you can use VIz-CGA, a snow-free, 8088-CPU oriented version. In addition, VIZ includes an independent, resident component for displaying a block cursor, either continuously or alternating with a line cursor at an adjustable rate of alternation. The latter display is well suited for easy localization of the cursor in some laptop screens. Finally, VIZ also contains an independent, resident ANSI-filter driver that mediates a subset of the ANSI escape sequences to control the console. This filter can be used, instead of ANSI.SYS, to implement ANSI escape sequences to control video display, with the advantage that can be turned off and on, and removed from memory without rebooting. All 3 resident modules occupy a total of less than about 1800 bytes of RAM. Depending on the system configuration and BIOS version, video accelerations by a factor of between 2 and 10 have been obtained. Program Title: UMAx Author Version: 1.20 Author Registration: See documentation. Special Requirements: High memory manager. UMAx allows for the testing of a number of services of the extended memory manager, which implements the extended memory specification in 80286-based or higher machines. The testing includes upper-memory block services, and provides a list of the size and address of available upper-memory blocks.
