Easy PC Demo version

C

Clueless I am but I persevere :-(

Here is the problem:

I have a legal copy of EasyPC for DOS and as long as HP Deskjets were
available for parallel port connection I could get my printouts under
DOS.

Now Deskjets come with USP interface and I cannot get the printouts. I
went to Number One web site and got a copy of Easy PC Demo for Windows
ver 7.0; it is crippled to prevent saving the files. But to my great
surprise it accepted my DOS layouts and printed them.

Unfortunately I have a slow machine 133mHz - 64mb and putting Windows
and Easy PC is too much for this machine (I mainly use DOS programs).
As a retired person I have no resources to buy a new computer or learn
a new system. I do occasional design for home improvement or show off
the kids - n commercial interest anymore.

I am interested in an older version of EasyPC Demo for Windows that
will be easy on my machine. Mind you, I do not ask for a cracked
version, only the Demo which was allowed to be downloaded by Number
One people by anyone when these versions were current. (I already
asked them for a copy and though I am holding a licensed DOS version
they did not even reply).

Of course I believe that the older version will also be not print
crippled.

Can anyone of you reading this please help me?

Thanks for your patience.

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.

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

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

mrsandy8085 at gmail dot com

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

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.
