In addition to the manual, there is HELP when you press F1 (or choose the Help

The $30 upgrade to Stanford Graphics 2.0 is definitely worth it.  I've
been using it for about a week and so far it appears to be very stable,
and *much* easier to use.

I'll still join in flaming 3D-Visions for their marketing technique:
they delivered two versions (1.00 and 1.01) that were basically UNUSABLE,
and made us wait until version 2.0 before giving us a product that is
fit for distribution.

Nevertheless, now that 2.0 is here I'm using it and loving it.  The
program doesn't crash, or hasn't since I've installed it.  They've added
global style controls for controlling text styles throughout a presentation.
The "range highlighter" makes it much easier to specify which parts
of which spreadsheet get plotted.  On 3-D surface plots, you can specify
a separate range of colors that control color for an effectively 4-D
plot.  In general everything goes a little faster, runs a little more
smoothly, is easier to use, and is more reliable.

But don't get the impression that there's no room for improvement.
They still redraw the entire screen every time you move or breathe.
People running SG on anything slower than a 486 will complain about
speed.  And the manual and on-line help are still TOTALLY USELESS.
A short introduction and on-line tutorial are included, but nothing
that could safely call itself a reference manual.

The bottom line is:  I just used SG with Word for Windows to create
a publication-quality journal article with 13 embedded plots.  It worked
great, and I actually spent more time thinking about what the plots
should look like than how to make them look that way.

/pub/pc/win3.  WinPost takes care of my "post-it"(tm) notes that used

Hi.  I would like to find out if there are any software/hardware
that will allow me to have video and audio output sent to and fro
from machines running Windows.  What I am asking is for the kind of 
video/audio conferencing capabilities available on Suns and SGI 
Irises but available on the Intel platform running Windows.

What would be interesting is to have audio/video data to be sent
from one Windows PC having a SoundBlaster card to another, similarly
equipped, machine via a TCP/IP link between them.

I would appreciate any pointers (phone/fax #s, e-mail/postal address
etc) to any organizations/persons that have built or are building
such a product.

If there is any interest, I'll post a summary.

Thanks.

I just got my copy of Xtree for Windows.  I'm running a Lantastic

fine....wouldn't log C: though (it gave an error message).  A call to
tech support revealed that I was about the 30th caller (the product's
only been on the street for a few days).  Denfinitely a bug, and it'll
be fixed and patched soon.  You may want to wait to order it if your
running lantastic though; it's pretty useless if you have to unload
the net just to work with your local drive.  I tried a few workarounds
with no luck.  Other than that, it seems to be the best windows based
file manager I've seen yet.  Great support for zip files, and tons of
filters for viewing.  The only thing I miss from the dos version is
the ability to edit in hex mode :(.

Subject: MS-WORD 2.0 EQUATION EDITOR PROBLEMS !
Organization: Faculty of Engineering, Monash University 
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1992 04:51:11 GMT

	I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me out with this 
annoying problem from MSWORD 2.0 FOR WINDOWS that had consume so much of my 
time and energy:

	MY SYSTEM CONFIG :
	1. 486/33 DX - 4 MB on BOARD 
	2. 120 MB HDD and 2 DD 1.44 and 1.2
	3. Dos 5.0 and Win 3.1
	4. Tseng ET4000 with 1MB VRAM and COLORVIEW 800X600X256 drivers
	5. no printers connected. ( I always use PRINT TO FILE )
	6. TSR - diet , fdread , boot.sys .

	My equation editor is installed with QMS-810 printer as default and 
several other dot-matrix printers at idle. The problem is whenever I started 
the equation editor, I get the message " MT-EXTRA font and FENCES font not 
found  and " Some fonts will not be displayed or printed ". I tried it out 
and some of the fonts cannot be displayed properly are Integration sign ( I 
get a Z sign instead ) . It only happens to certain mathematical 
functions while other greek characters come out well on screen and 
printers. Well, the HELP file from Word only says this problem is due to 
printers installed after MS Word Equation editor is installed ... which is 
obviously not true for me. I had checked with the other friends with a 386/
33 and 486/33 computers and they install Word 2.0 using custom config ... 
ALL OF US FACED THE SAME PROBLEM! 

	My Word for windows dated 28/10/91 . I try changing to other default 
printers such as HP Postscript and reinstalled Equation Editor but it 
doesn't work. Well, I found out that the fonts that Word installed for 
me is only :
	
	FENCES.FON   FENCES.TTF    MTEXTRA.FON   MTEXTRA.TTF	 

and all of them resides under WINDOWS/SYSTEM subdirectory. The Font Manager 
cannot display both fonts also when selected. I checked the substitution 
table under Equation Editor but MTEXTRA and FENCES fonts doesn't appear 
under the selection lists of fonts ( My Equation Editor only made 
use of Symbols fonts and Times Romans fonts). Obviously both fonts had been 
installed ( For True Type , only .TTF and .FON is required , altho there are 
a bundles of .SFP .PFM .PFB fonts for MTEXTRA and FENCES on the installation 
disks. ). Suprisingly, the other friend of mine installed Word 2.0 on his 
laptop with Win 3.1 with no default printer and he doesn't have these 
problems. This time I found .SFP .PFM .PFB fonts on his hard disk in 
addition to True Type fonts. So, I scrapped the Word away and reinstalled 
everything again ( including the main program of Win Word 2.0 ) with no 
default printer. It still didn't work for me ..and only .FON .TTF fonts are 
installed. I tried to reinstalled MS Word again by disabling True Type fonts 
from Font Manager , but still .FON and .TTF fonts are copied to my hard disk 
and the same sickening problem persists!

	If anybody got the solution the problem , please let me know for I 
am getting desperate!( Got Report to type and require equation editor).

To this undercooked message of mine, I'd like to add
a recent earth-shaking discovery ;-): the bleed-through 
can be prevented by setting the Win3.1 /s NOT to run in 
the background (in the Advanced Change Program DVC menu). 
However, the DVC loses mouse control completely, so the text 
cut-and-paste capability in DVC I use so often is lost.
Any suggestions?

Tony
