Easy PC Demo version

ClueLess,

I can understand not having the resources to buy a new computer, but if you're retired, why wouldn't you have the time to learn a new system?

If you can't put together the funds to purchase a new system, I'd suggest looking for a used DeskJet instead. They're quite inexpensive on, e.g., eBay. There are also a few new printers left that have parallel port connections, although they're definitely not the bargain-basement $39 specials you see at Wal*Mart (where the printer is pretty much given away and profit is made on the ink cartridges).

I fowarded this to Easy-PC and they will get in touch with you. They don't think that they will be able to help, however.

Your email server seems to have a problem:

mail.wilderness.org: connection refused

I have version 5 available.

Sorry for that, it is a munged id.

In any case the mail server I subscribe to does not allow big downloads, I think it is 5mb max.

Why not post it to a binaries group or some free site like 125mb.com that is free?

I would love to have a copy of this. I can receive mail at mrsandy at eth dot net

Thanks a million for your response and the light in the tunnel.

Thanks for your efforts, but Easy-PC already know about my requirement and they did not help me, an old customer at that.

I'd love a copy also. My old DOS copy doesn't run under the current Windoze version of DOS, even if I boot from an old DOS boot disk. I've got one old schematic I did back in the 1980s with the very first edition of EZPC and it is still a current product. Every time I go to pull gerbers from that sucker, it is like pulling teeth.

Please, a copy? jim at rstengineering dot com

Anon, What is the filename? If it is unique (version-specific), I'll bet it can be found on a server with a .ru or .cz domain.

I have now posted it to alt.binaries.

That would be EasyPCDemo.exe

Version 7.0, IIRC, is about 19 mb or so.

Hope you can find a much earlier version that is small enough. The DOS version I bought in the last century hardly filled up two 720 kb diskettes :-( But it was a nicely done with X-No-archive: yes a minimum learning curve, even I could master it :-)

Hi Anon

Thanks a lot for taking trouble to post the software.

But it is the tale of the cup and lip al over again - It has so far not appeared in the Teranews server which I look in :-(

Has any one else succeeded in getting a copy of what was posted by Anon?

Will you help me getting a copy for myself?

Thanks for your attention and patience

ClueLess

Clueless I am but I persevere :-)

Hi Anon

When I thought my long search has ended when you posted you have version 5 bad luck was after me again with Teranews not showing your upload.

Ok, I hope that you are seeing this post and I assume that you are willing to help me. I would suggest you put that stuff in a CD and mail it to me.

If you are willing to go to that extent to help me please let me know at mrsandy at eth dot net and I will give you my mailing address.

I do not want you do it all for nothing - I reimburse you costs as well as pay for your time, that it how much I am interested in the stuff.

Hope you are active in this group.

If all else fails, I'll do that. But I have a couple of tricks I want to try first.

Try ftp://hwdb.dyndns.org/

Note that server's network link is very slow, so expect around half an hour for the download.

My next idea would be that you open a Gmail account, so we can use that to transfer the file.

I could also split the file into smaller chunks, so you can receive them one by one on your current mail server.

Got the account

I hope that now you can fire away.

By the way EasyPC install itself requires a passwaord given by Number One Com. If ver 5 requires and you have it somewhere send that too.

Thanks again

ClueLess

I just thought of another option. Try this:

It does not need a password.

At last !!!!!

Hi Anon

I got that file and boundless thanks to you for your kind efforts.

I have installed it and it is not print disabled so I am able to print my DOS made pcb layouts. Requiring lesser resources it also has a more friendly interface for printing.

If you need anything I can do please do let me know.

Thanks again

Hi Jim

Did you see the latest post from Anon with the link for the EasyPCDEmo ver 5?

Hope you too got a copy.

You said your DOS edition of EasyPC does not work. You can write to me, my id is here in one of my posts. I will do what I can.
