<TPI383> C:\Chris\DIACOM-P
<TPI383> thats where the program is
<MrDude_1> now type "pkzip -r DIACOM.zip *.* "
<TPI383> i cant get DOS to goto C:\Chris\DIACOM-P
<TPI383> it stays at C:\WINDOWS\
<MrDude_1> type "cd\"
<TPI383> Ah ok
<MrDude_1> then "cd chris"
<TPI383> C:\Chris\DIACOM-P
<MrDude_1> is that what the prompt says? C:\Chris\DIACOM-P> " ?
<TPI383> ok I think pik just ziped it all

<TPI383> already there
<MrDude_1> put the following in for the zip file.... "A:\Diacom.zip"
<TPI383> so do pkzip -r -w DIACOM-P *.*
<MrDude_1> so it will look like "pkzip -r -&w a:\Diacom.zip *.*

<kream> sweet!!!
<kream> i should have mine sometime this week
<TPI383> cable will be done 2morrow I hope
<kream> anyway.. my moms grand prix has went through 4 fuel pumps in a little
over a year ($800)
<kream> if it needs it again i guess im in for a project
<kream> because no one else can do it
<kream> but i have a question
<MrDude_1> theres a fix for it.... is it an intank pump?
<kream> the fuel pump relay has NEVER been replaced.... should i make her buy
one?
<kream> yea
<kream> i thought those two things went hand in handd
<TPI383> ok disk 4 is done
<MrDude_1> they make a specal sock like thing that works like a prefilter
<kream> does it have to be taken apart?
<MrDude_1> it helps the crud from getting in it and buring the pump
<MrDude_1> no
<TPI383> All intank pumps have em.... kream it just goes on the fuel pump
<MrDude_1> it goes over the whole pump
<kream> is it hard to get to?
<TPI383> ok MrDude_1 all 4 disk are done didnt ask for any more

[MrDude_1]

<TPI383> have to take the tank down kream
<TPI383> and remove pump
<MrDude_1> some GM's dont have them.... cool! now take another disk and copy
PKunzip to it....
<kream> what about the FP relay?
<MrDude_1> if its good then leave it...... http://www.3rdgen.org/ubb/smile.gif they rarely go bad
<TPI383> if the Fp comes on the relay should be fine
<kream> ahh yeah
<kream> it works
<kream> but it sounds funny
<MrDude_1> what do you mean sounds? it shoud be slient
<kream> you can hear it when youre in the back seat
<TPI383> what the pump
<kream> and it doesn't sound smooth like mine
<kream> i guess so
<kream> something in the back sounds fucked up like its dying...
<TPI383> is it a mmmmmmm, sound
<kream> yeah
<MrDude_1> the pump somtimes wines but the relay shouldnt
<kream> yeah its the pump
<kream> not the relay
<TPI383> you will alwasy hear it. I herar min ein the front seat
<MrDude_1> thats normal
<kream> so what about that sock thing
<kream> how much are they and how hard to install
<TPI383> ok Mr so C:\ and where the unzipfile is right
<MrDude_1> if you have a full tank you wont hear it as much..... TPI where are
you again?????
<TPI383> back to C:\WINDOWS>
<kream> what windows you installing
<TPI383> none
<kream> im gonna try to install 95 on one of mine
<TPI383> its DOS only

<MrDude_1> you can use windows if its easier.... just copy pkunzip to a floppy
so you can put it on the laptop

<MrDude_1> no i never did linux....... directories.... recurse directories
<kream> ahh.. the way you get aroudn in dos sounds like youve used linux
<MrDude_1> i would have this done in 5min flat...... (floppies take long to
copy)
<MrDude_1> i grew up inDOS !
<kream> i kinda missed out on the whole dos thing.. but i got my fair share of
it
<MrDude_1> that makes no sence whatsoever....

<kream> lmao
<kream> i missed out on the whole 'rage' but i got my fair share of it with my
486..
<kream> in other words i missed the "dos days" but i was a little behind in
technology for a while
<TPI383> searching ZIP A:/DIACOM.ZIP INSERT the LAST disk of the backup set
<TPI383> so put in disk 4
<MrDude_1> there was no 'rage'..... it was just that that was the only "REAL"
option.... TPI Cool!
<kream> hahaha
<kream> http://www.3rdgen.org/ubb/smile.gif
<MrDude_1> ura fast typist

<MrDude_1> http://www.3rdgen.org/ubb/smile.gif lol
<MrDude_1> right
<TPI383> LOL@ kream
<kream> although back when i went to school i typed like twice as fast as the
teacher
<kream> thats the only class i got an A in
<kream> and i never did anything because he said i didnt need to
<kream> hahaha
<TPI383> Mmmm, thought id do 2, 3, 4 oh well back to one now
<kream> i think my best typing a paragraph was around 70wpm
<TPI383> inflating
<kream> one time i typed one sentance and only msesed up on one punctuation
mark and got like 140+ wpm
<MrDude_1> i got my typing teacher pissed.... i dont type "correctly" but i
type fast
<kream> of course this was a shitty school typing program but i still got that
fast
<MrDude_1> it pissed him off
<MrDude_1> http://www.3rdgen.org/ubb/smile.gif
<TPI383> Same here I use 2 fingers most times
<kream> like home row?
<TPI383> but kick ass and fast
<kream> i always type 'correctly' probably why ims o fast but i dont think most
people do
<kream> my girlfriend hunt&pecks and she does it FAST
<TPI383> same here
<TPI383> Lori is FAST the right way
<MrDude_1> he uses home row....... i use whatever is fastest.... i can type
over 120wmp
<kream> its really funny too because its so strange
<TPI383> she use to be s reseptionest
<kream> if i dont have to use punctuation or whatever 120wpm is no problem
<kream> liek on irc...
<kream> but then i usually have to think about what im typing...
<TPI383> lol.
<kream> it helps 100% if you KNOW what youre going to type instead of thinking
while typing, which is what i usually do
<MrDude_1> 120 perfect........ i can go close to 200 but i get typos....
<kream> you probably notice that on the message board
<TPI383> Ahhhhh Fk data error reading drive a
<MrDude_1> as a programmer typos are a no no.. http://www.3rdgen.org/ubb/smile.gif
