Is anyone aware of a good memory tester that runs under Windows?
I'm getting an intermittent parity error that only manages to
show up under Windows, but not under regular DOS (had the memory
test program running for several hours last night with no errors).
I've heard Windows will expose bad memory quicker than DOS will.
Thanks for the info.

You should have been here 1 or 2 weeks ago when there were
a few posts on the subject.  Hopefully someone may have keep
a summary to post (I didn't).

About (2) there were 3 programs mentioned for Windows :-
Origin, Slidewrite and SigamPlot (to be released?)

I have Origin for Windows and SigmaPlot for DOS and I prefer SigmaPlot
as you have a lot more control over every aspect of the 
graph.  Origin have put out a lot of bug fix upgrades -
and it has the "windows feel" to it they doesn't 
encourage precise control over everything.

It has a very nice pseudo-3d "waterfall" plot option -
which is the reason I use Origin.

Hoep this helps(?),  Lachlan.

I think this is due to the Mac disks being constant linear velocity. More
sectors will fit on the outer tracks and less on the inner tracks. This
requires a variable angular velocity spindle.

It is my understanding that QPC Software is a sole proprietorship, likely
employing only one or two people on a regular basis. All things considered
I'm suprised they do as well as they do.

I would suggest that they invest in an answering machine, though. I had
some difficulty calling them and actually speaking to someone. The recently
got access to an Internet e-mail account (don't know off the top of my head),
this seems to be checked often enough, though they don't necessarily respond.

I will soon have registered copies of QVT/Net for PC-NFS 4.0 and Windows
3.1 (version 3.15?). Once registered I am curious if response times improve,
it would make sense if they do.

Indeed. But we wanted to install it on about 50 machines at a client's

I had some problems with QVTNet/NFS running under PC-NFS 4.0, speaking
to an RS6000 running AIX. Namely, QVTNet/NFS kept crashing on me. The
terminal performance wasn't as good as it had been either.

I decided to drop NFS and keep using the original WinQVTNet.

I recall a thread recently which discussed the "Licensed User" string
which Winword Setup stores in encrypted form on the distribution disk,
and how to make Winword Setup prompt for a name again. Unfortunately I
did not save this information.

A friend of mine is now trying to sell his copy of Winword, and the
potential buyer is bothered by the "wrong" name on the startup screen.
Assurances that this would not be a problem as long as he has the
original disks and my friend doesn't retain copies don't seem to
satisfy him, he wants to get his name in that spot.

Can anyone send me the info for resetting this string?

Thanks!

Please:  Allow me to make one thing perfectly clear:  

     I am not a Microsoft-basher, and my opinion is that much of
     the flamage against Microsoft running around usenet these
     days is uncalled-for and immature in both tone and content.
     (And yes, some of the complaints have legitimate foundations,
     but the valid points get lost in the noise.)

Having said that, would someone from Microsoft reading this newsgroup please
explain why, after several maintenance releases of WfW, this problem is still
with us?  And could that kind soul please provide some assurances that it
will disappear the next time a new set of disks is produced?

To get back to Mr. Elliot's problem: the TT fonts FENCES and MT EXTRA were
installed in a manner which makes them invisible to the application.  The
solution is to open MAIN -> CONTROL PANEL -> FONTS, and:

  1.  Select all fonts with names containing the strings FENCES and MT EXTRA.
      Delete these fonts, but do not check the box which offers to erase the
      font files from the disk.

  2.  Go to the ADD... dialog.  Point the dialog to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
      directory (or wherever your SYSTEM subdirectory is located).

  3.  Select the FENCES and MT EXTRA TrueType fonts.  Depending on the
      history of your system there may be other font files of these names
      present, but you need the TrueType flavor.  Click OK to install
      the fonts back into Windows.

That's it.  Note that reinstalling WfW or PowerPoint will reintroduce the
problem; just re-execute the above sequence to fix it again.
