If you have two files that contain similar data that you want to merge into one file then using jut one or two commands at a command prompt can do it for you regardless of which operating system you are using.
Floppy disks are becoming less and less common. These days ju7st about all computers allow you to boot from the CD/DVD drive in order to be able to repair a system that has a damaged operating system that will not allow the hard drive to boot. If you still have an older computer that doesn’t allow you to boot directly from the cd to run the repair then you may still need floppy disks to start the boot process in which case this article on howe to make or obtain bootable floppies will be of interest.
Object Oriented Programming languages make developing programs to run on multiple operating systems much easier. All you need is a class library of common functions that has a separate version you can link in for each of the operating systems you want to support where the public interface to the multiple copies of those classes is the same for each platform. It is then a simple matter of linking in the appropriate verion of the library for each operating system.
I have decided to spend part of the long weekend setting up and configuring a new computer. At some point in the next few weeks I should have some comments on how it is all proceeding. So far I have purchased the new parts I needed, installed some other parts that I already had installed the operating system and configured it to work with my network.
Regardless of which operating system you are using these days you should have at least two logins set up on i - one with administrator access and one without. You then use the login without administrator access for everyday use and only use the administrator account when you really need to do something that needs that access. By doing this you ensure that even if something gets past all the other security you have in place nothing that requires administrator access will be able to be run without your knowledge (and most installs require that access so viruses etc will not be able to install things on your system).
One problem is that while you will give your everyday account a your own username, the administrator account gets a default username when it is first created. This means that someone only has to guess the password to break into it instead of having to guess both the username and password. It is therefore not only the account people would prefer to break into but is also the one that will be easier to break into - unless you change the username to something different from the default.
I have been using the free antivirus from AVG on my computers for a while now. Just recently they started displaying nag screens about buying their new version 8 security suite. A couple of days ago I found out that the paid version 8 wasn’t the only new release and decided to download the free version 8 to take a look.
All I can say is what a terrible job that they have done as I ended up wasting about 10 hours attempting to install this new program only to end up having trouble finding a copy of the old program (the one that actually works) to reinstall in place of the new mess.
I guess part of the problem is the range of operating systems that I run with some older versions as well as newer ones.
Not just Windows NT but also the more recent versions of the operating system (2000, XP, 2003 and Vista) are also covered by this article. If you have windows already installed on your computer then the chances are that you will have networking already installed but if you need to do a reinstall of your operating system for any reason then you may find it easier to do a basic install without any networking first in order to get things up and running quicker with fewer things to go wrong all at once. Once you have that done then this article will be what you need in order to go back and install the networking that you omitted from the earlier install.
The old DOS operating system used a file system called FAT (file allocation table) which came in fat12, fat16 and fat32 variants. Windows NT introduced a new file system called NTFS (new technology file system) and that’s the preferred file system for the newer versions of that operating system such as Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Vista. These systems still support FAT though for backwards compatibility and in some instances someone configures the system to actually use FAT rather than the better HTFS. All is not lost though as you can actually convert your drive from one file system to the other as this article describes.
