Try installing stacker such that, after booting, drive c: is the physical
drive, which contains the stacker file that the device driver treats as drive
d:. Your current installation boots off the physical drive, but stacker changes
it to drive d:, on which resides the stacker file that becomes drive c:. (I
hope that make sense!)

With the physical boot drive staying drive c: there's no need to worry about
keeping things in sync since there's no question as to which drive is the
boot drive and which autoexec.bat/config.sys is being used.

The only reason for the latter setup (boot drive becoming drive d: after 
bootup) is, as I recall, to allow Stacker to install and while installing
to migrate files from the physical drive to the Stacker drive/file. This is
easier in terms of impact on the user, but IMHO too much a cluge to embrace
if there's an alternative. Your problems re-enforce my HO's.

Also, put 386Max on your physical bootup drive so you can load the stacker
driver high.

386Max has a readme file called STACKER.DOC which you should also read.
Stacker may have a relevant readme file as well. The Stacker manual is 
reasonably detailed on the various options as well.

Please forgive me if this is a FAQ, but I've been looking everywhere.  I
am printing on an HP Laserjet III.  Its default font is set to 10 point
courier, so every program that prints simple ASCII files prints out 10
point courier.

Except for Notepad, that is.

Notepad always prints out at 12 points, overriding the default.  I have
been unable to figure out a way to change this situation.

Does anybody know why this happens or what to do about it?

Thanks,

Pacific Micro has released a Windows version of Mac-In-Dos. It reads and
write 1.44MB Mac disks *only*. It will not work with low density disks.
It is available for $129 (educational price) or $249 (regular price)
plus S&H ($5 in US, $45 Foreign). There does not appear to be an upgrade
price for existing Mac-In-Dos users, since I wrote asking about this
and got only info on the full package. I am buying the package from
Egghead for $204 Canadian.

Summary: looking for less expensive tektronix emulator
Keywords: tek4014, keaterm, procomm plus, mskermit3.11 for DOS
Date: 9 Nov 92 02:21:27 GMT
Organization: University of Arizona, Tucson AZ

I recently received a mail advertisement for KEAterm for windows,
which seems to be exactly what I need in communications software--
1) windows support
2) network AND serial line support
3) tektronix terminal emulation

It comes for a decent price ($300-$500). Unfortunately, this is a little
bit out of my group's means. We are getting by right now with wnqvtnet2.6
for multiple session text processing (no graphics), and a dos program,
mskermit3.11 over a serial line for single session high-resolution graphics
(tektronix emulator). I know mskermit3.11 (for dos) has network capabilities,
but have not got around to figuring out how to use it.

At home, I use procomm plus for windows, which seems to be a superb windows
program, well documented, good scripting/dde. Unfortunately, no high
resolution graphics (no tektronix emulation). There is a  network version
of procomm plus available.

Several q's:
1) has anyone used keaterm for windoews, with tektronix??
      can they avidly recommend buying this program??
2) can anyone see how to use procomm plus for windows' scripting/dde
     to provide a makeshift tektronix emulator via another windows server app?
3) does anyone know if mskermit for dos' networking works under windows??
     does mskermit3.11(dos) allow for multiple sessions over the net??
4) does anybody know of a shareware/freeware (or commercial <=$200) program
     for communications that supports my above criteria 1-3)???

Any advice would be appreciated. I have been looking for a  windows
tek emulator ever since I switched to windows.

I am using WFW 2.0 and I would like to insert the date into my
documents.  When using the "Insert Date/Time" option WFW inserts
a field which looks up the current date.  This method has its drawbacks.
For example, if I create a document and use this command then the
current date is inserted (obviously).  Suppose I save this document
and then retrieve it one week later because I would like to print
another copy of it.
WFW inserts the *current* date again so that the document is effectively
changed and no longer has the date when I created it, but the date I
retrieve it.
This can be a pain when your documents are letters which have the date
on them.  Each time you retrieve the letter and print it, the current
date is printed and not the date when you created the letter.
I have been on the phone to Microsoft in the UK and I was told to use
the "CreateDate" function.  However, it is not obvious to me how to
do this.
If anyone knows how to alter the "Insert Date/Time" menu option so that
the date is inserted and doesn't get updated if you retrieve the
document at a subsequent date I'd be grateful if you'd let me know what
to do.
Thanks,
Mark

Do you have a legal IP number, or did you just make one up :) ? Sounds like 
you may have the same IP number as another computer on your net. Double check
the pc_ip value in your qvt_tcp.rc file and/or ask your net administrator for
a new number.

	Despite what the box says, MS W4W chokes on graphics.  Although it 
has its share of glitches, AmiPro would probably do what you want much 
better than W4W.  ANY images or multiple frame layouts slows W4W to a 
crawl.  That's why I re-installed AmiPro and stripped most of the graphics 
"capabilities" from W4W.

The older-version files in your root directory are the backuos that
Ami automatically makes. Navigate through the menus to
Tools/User Setup/Paths and change the backup path to something
like c:\tmp (or whatever you are using as your temporary directory
for windows).

You have to lock the field.  Highlight it and press Ctrl-F11 or Alt-Ctrl-F1.
To unlock the field type Ctrl-Shift-F11 or Alt-Ctrl-Shift-F1
