Organization: MIND LINK! - British Columbia, Canada
Distribution: world

I've just tried out this latest version of Unicom. There seems to be something
seriously wrong with the Z Modem downloads, namely it takes about 10 seconds
before the download actually starts! As well, I really don't understand how Z
Modem Resume is supposed to work, if it actually works at all. If you have Z
Modem checked for automatic downloads in the "General" section of the Setup,
then you can never get Z Modem Resume as far as I can determine. Can someone
(if there is indeed anyone) who can get the Z Modem Resume in Unicom to work
correctly please post a detailed explanation about exactly how they do this?
(I'm not placing any money on seeing a response to this soon...)

I wish i could help you.  I remember encountering a number of problems using
AmiPro with Ascii files.  Either you end up with long lines, or else you
end up with two CR's whenever there was one before.
 
Even worse, if you want to use AmiPro and are willing to use something like
DeskEditor or QEdit for final prep, then want to go back into AmiPro and
stroip out the extra CR's, it wont work.  Try this command on a CR at line
end file (2 cr's between para):
 Search/Replace "CR CR" --> XXXXX
 Search/Replace "CR" --> "Space"
 Search/Replace "XXXX" --> "CR"
 SHould result in coverting an ascii file to a nicely formatted amipro file.
But the stupid program can't tell the difference between one carriage return
and anything more than one carriage return.
 
I ended up doing all my LaTeX writing in QEdit or Desktop Editor.  AmiPro
better improve handling of Ascii files in version 3.0.
 
BTW -- have they added a "piling" feature onto the eq. editro in version
3?  or are we still limited to one line eqautions?

Try setting the "answerback=" switch in the default configuration of 
qvt_tcp.rc to whatever it is that your unix host likes. I believe the 
"terminal=" line just changes which emulation QVT/Net uses, and doesn't 
affect what it tells hosts in response to an ENQ.

Subject: UNDELETABLE characters in WORD (DOS & Windows)
Organization: University of Canberra
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 92 07:08:26 GMT

Has anyone had the following experience with 
Word for DOS & Word for Windows?

I have a Word4DOS (& Word4Windows 2.0) file that has text in
it that is UNDELETABLE.  

If I place the cursor at the beginning of some text
and hit the DELETE (DEL) key the text does not
disappear but instead it gains a strikethrough type
appearance.  If I highlight the text and try to replace
it with a space (just by hitting the space bar) I get
an underlined space character before the highlighted text.
I checked the character attributes and they are not
formatted for anything but NORMAL TEXT.

I imported the Word4DOS file into Word4Windows 2.0 and
exactly the same things occur.

Does anybody know of this problem? Any solutions?

Thanks,
Paul...   pwb@aerg.canberra.edu.au

When 2.0 came out, upgrades were available from other sources (like
CompUSA) for less then the stated Lotus price.  So far, none of the
stores I've called have set pricing for the upgrade.  They're saying
delivery won't be for another couple of weeks.

<list of "enhancements" deleted>

It does seem that most of the changes are oriented toward "ease
of use" (fast this, easy that), as opposed to new features. Personally,
whether or not I buy it depends on what they do to the equation
editor.  If they don't fix the oft-mentioned problems with it
(cutting and pasting text+equations, putting more then one line
in an equation), I'll throw a fit.  Really.

another disadvantage to new wave is it takes 13-18megs of diskspace.

norton takes 8.5 megs

WinTools takes 1.5mg, does more than norton and is similiar to newwave.
(it has total visual customizability of the desktop;
object-oriented/drag & drop; instead of newwave agents it offers keystroke
and dde macro tools; and network support features like users sharing tools
on the desktop while having private tools, tools that can locked in place.)
(norton is a mediocre utility package).

I've found an annoying problem with Procomm Plus for Windows. If I try to do a
Z Modem upload where it's not possible to do this, for example, accidentally
starting the upload where the BBS is expecting a typed prompt, and then
cancelling the upload, if I DO try to do an upload later at the correct
location, it won't work! I can change to Y Modem and upload (and download) no
problem, I can even download with Z Modem, but the Z Modem uploads are
effectively screwed. If I log off the BBS and call back, the Z Modem upload
still won't work. I have to exit Procomm Plus and reboot! This has happened on
2 BBS's locally. Crash Recovery in my Z Modem setup is set to On for both
Sender and Receiver. It shouldn't really have any effect as far as the
receiving BBS is concerned, because none of the local BBS's support crash
recovery for uploaded files. Anyone got any ideas about what is wrong here and
how I could fix the problem?

Several months ago I also checked with ATI. They did "update their

You probably have revision marks turned on.  In Word for Windows, go to
"Revision Marks..." on the "Tools" menu, click on "Accept changes".  That will
get rid of any existing text that is struct through.  Then remove the
check from the "Mark changes" button and you won't get that behavior in
the future.

No.

I have this line in my .rc file and my unix host correctly reads it as
a vt220.

terminal=VT200 


The options are shown as   VT200, VT100, or VT52

Have you tried terminal=VT100 ?


Maybe your unix host is misinterpreting what Qvt sends it?
