Hello there,

	I have the following questions:
1. TO simulate disk cache with dos and windows you can either put the
statements
a) devicehigh=c:\smartdrv.sys     in the config.sys file or
b) loadhigh=c:\smartdrv.exe       in the autoexec.bat file

What is the difference between the 2 statements?
Also, how much cache would be recommended to have with a total of 4MB ram when
you run windows?

2. I have aproblem with the path statement of dos.
If I type the following statement in the dos prompt
PATH = C:\DOS; C:\WINDOWS; C:\STACKER;
in capital letters it works but if I put it in a batch file such as the
autoexec.bat file it tells me "Too many parameters". Does anybody have any
ideas as to what the problem might be?

	I would very much appreciate any relevant response.

I help to manage a NetWare net where we have 'roving' Windows 3.1 users.  
Anyone can login from any PC and get their desktop; this is achieved by 
keeping the users' INIs and GRPs on their net drive.  EXEs, DLLs, etc are 
stored on the local hard drives.  

One problem with this setup is that "setup /p", when run from the program 
manager, returns an error saying that the user is "attempting to run setup 
from windows and that he should run setup from outside of windows".  
"Setup /p" is a very handy trick for rebuilding damaged program groups 
based on the user's SETUP.INF file.  Under Win30, "setup /p" worked 
wonderfully for roving users.  I'd appreciate any advice on getting "setup 
/p" to work properly under Win31 in a roving situation.

Followup-To: Epson LQ570 printer driver & vertical margins
Organization: Xerox
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1993 15:32:51 GMT

I have the same problem on my EPSON LQ-570 when using the tractor
feeder.  When I purchased my printer (which included no drivers), I
also purchased a sheet feeder.  When Windows is told that the sheet
feeder is being used, the drivers LQ-570 seem to work just fine.

In addition, to the problems mentioned, I discovered that the horizontal
margins are different for Windows and DOS.  I had the margins all set up,
using the tractor feeder, for both DOS's print utility, and for Microsoft
Word 5.5.  That all worked great.  When going into windows though, not
did I get the vertical shift mentioned, but I also got a horizontal shift,
about 1/4 of an inch, to the left.

My final solution (at this point) is that I use the sheet feeder when in
Windows, and the tractor feeder when in DOS.  In this way, the printer is
lined up for both, which no constant adjustment on my part.

Huh?  This is one of the reasons Microsoft and Apple chose TrueType over
Type-1, an open standard.

All of the specs are on ftp.uu.net in /vendor/microsoft/TrueType-Info.
In particular have a look at ttspec[1-3].zip for WFW formatted docs
or tt-help.zip for a WinHelp version.  You'll also find ttfdump.zip
which will let you analyze TT fonts and ttfparse.zip which includes
C source for parsing TTF files.  What more could anyone ask for?

Does anyone out there know of a generic printer driver for windows 3.1
that can handle paper size of 14"x11" (w/ continous paper feed)?
I have an old Printronix P300 line printer.  It will print with the
generic printer driver that comes with Windows 3.1
However, this driver does not provide printing to a 14x11" paper.
I have tried printing with the wide carriage option selected but that
didn't help much.  I have called Microsoft and Printronix, but they
have no driver than can solve my problem.
And I am no programmer to come up with a driver.
Any other hint or suggestion (or driver) will be very helpful and
appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I want to automate the installation of a windows application on many
workstations.  The application has it's own installation program that
creates a [section] in WIN.INI that I would like to replace with my
own section.  Replacing the installed [section] with my own [section]
will "pre-configure" the application, saving lots of support time.  
Does anyone have or know of a DOS utility to do this?  I wanted to 
check before writing my own.

Thanks!

The office machine has kermit on it.

How do i go about downloading files from my office m/c to the pc at home? 
Can the windows terminal app be used for this purpose or do i need to get 
some other comm. software? I will usually be downloading, Sun -> pc, and
would like to be able to get both ascii and binary files.

E-mail me and i can summarize if there is enough interest.

Organization: McGill University


I have a problem with my system crashing when I exit windows.

Many many files become corrupt and the system itself won't start.  The
windows directory is the main target for the corrupt files, and requires
a complete re-installation, however I had to re-install about 6 apps,
both dos and windows.

The first crash occured when I had to reboot my machine before exiting
windows, and the second crash was when I shut down windows and was wait-
ing for the c prompt.Nothing extraordinary.

I can use chkdsk/f to repair the lost files and then i transfer the
system from my trusty boot diskette.  After that, it's a guessing game
to see what is blown and what is still useable.

Can anybody tell me why it crashes and what can be done to prevent them?
I run a 486sx with 8 mb ram, and windows 3.1

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey,

I'm quite new in the field of windows, and I already screwed it up a little
bit!

When I installed a couple of icon-files, new program-groups and changed
some system settings, I lost the possibility to go to a 'normal' DOS-shell,
and return to windows with 'exit'. I probably have erased/overwritten the
executable that handles this. My question is: "Which file handles this
feature normally, and how can I re-install it?"

thanks in advance,

				Hans

PS. I'm not referring to a "DOS-in-a-window" in windows, but to the
suspension of windows (the standard icon "DOS" in the main-program-group).

Organization: Acadia University

I've recently encountered a strange Windows performance problem
that has me stumped.

Configuration:
	Clone 80486DX - 33 MHz
	8MB Ram
	6MB Perm. Swap file (32-bit disk access)
	Stock Windows 3.1 configuration (problem exists with fresh install)
	SMARTDRV 4.0 configured for 2MB XMS (prior to and during Windows)
	
Problem:
	A simple CPU performance test - run in a full-screen (not windowed)
	DOS session from Windows 386 ehanced mode runs at about 1/3 normal
	speed.
	
	Normal performance can be restored by constraining SMARTDRV to a small
	cache size (say 256K) during Windows.
	
	Problem occurs when using QEMM 6.02 or HIMEM.SYS.
	
	Problem occurs if PC-TOOLS 7.1 PC-CACHE is substituted in place
	of SMARTDRV.
	
Puzzles:
	On the surface it might appear that Windows was memory constrained but
	no other applications are competing for the 8MB real and 6MB virutal
	memory. Windows Help-About shows large free memory and resources.
	
	The CPU test in the DOS session does no disk I/O - it is just a
	CPU test.
	
	Remember - this is stock 3.1 - no customizations of SYSTEM.INI.
	
	Similarly configured machines (better brands) do not exhibit this
	dramatic slow-down).
	

Any ideas or suggestions where to look?

	I talked to Microsoft again last night about this.  They freely 
admitted that this was a problem, but didn't mention that I should try
switching to the sheet feeder definition.  Their "solution" required that I 
power off the printer and roll the page back 0.45" each time...

	I've also been told from two sources that the LQ-510 Windows driver
has adjustable margins in the control panel, and that the driver is probably
similar enough that I could use it in place of the LQ-570 driver.

	I'll try the sheet feeder trick.  Thanks for the tip.

Can anybody tell me how to set up Windows for Workgroups to
use PC/TCP as it's transport-protocol. Btw. how can I get
hold of the WfWG resource-kit. Has Microsoft released
it into the public domain as with the Win 3.1 resource kit?

hello,
I'm having trouble installing Windows 3.1 (and 3.0) on a 386 clone.
When the Setup is supposed to switch to graphics mode it quits with
the following message:

Standard Mode: Fault in MS-DOS extender
EC = ... (register contents)

I've tried about everything:
- installation on a clean disk (partitioned/formatted) goes well but
  as soon as other software is installed Windows startup failes with
  or without the above message
- checked Windows software 
- replaced hard disk

any suggestions?

I'm having trouble starting win3.1 with more than 640k conventional memory.
I'm using qemm 6.02 with hercules card. The base memory is 704k. 
If I exclude the area between 640 and 704k, win 3.1 runs fine. Is there a
way to run win3.1 with 704k base memory?
Thanks in advance.
