Subject: Win Progs to hand large TIFF files? 
From: bwong@csulb.edu (Bradley Wong)
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 1992 02:26:25 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: Cal State Long Beach

Has anyone had success dealing with large raster (i.e., TIFF) files
under Windows?  All of a sudden, I need to work with 3Mb+ TIFF files
and Ami Pro, Corel Draw and Photofinish are puking their guts out.
(This on a 486 with 20Mb RAM and 200+ Mb free space).

Anyone have any success with the Aldus tools -- Pagemaker, Photostyler
and Freehand?  Any hints or suggestions?

Thanks

In your dialing directory, for each dialing entry, change the meta key
field from "default" to "none."  As far as turning off the action bar
once you've connected, pull down the "Windows" menu and highlight
"action bar."

Subject: System Error: Cannot Read Drive C
Date: 20 Dec 92 01:26:14 GMT
Organization: Boston University, Boston, MA, USA

OK...This is a VERY strange one.

I've been running Windows 3.1 for a long time, generally with no problems.
I use Stacker, 4DOS/NDOS, all flawlessly...until now.

Suddenly, the other day, when I tried to pop up a DOS program from
within windows, I get the dreaded white box, and it says:

		System Error
            Cannot Read Drive C:
             CANCEL     RETRY

RETRY gets me nowhere.  CANCEL after a few tries, gets rid of the box.

Then the DOS program runs FLAWLESSLY!  No errors.  No problems.  No
Crashes.

Then, when I quit the program...same routine.  Cancel gets rid of the
box and it's like nothing ever went wrong.

I have noticed no other problems...under Windows or straight DOS.

What's going on here?  Granted, there are worse problems, but this is
ANNOYING.  Could I have possibly deleted something?  Changed an INI
setting?  What's up?

I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks in advance...

I have two comments on all of this .....

a) The best way of getting DOS TCP/IP apps to work under Windows is to use 
virtual packet drivers - with a package such as PKTMUX.  Alternatively, if 
you want a single DOS TCP/IP application to be running at a time - Prof. 
Doupnik's WinPKT.COM virtual two-ended packet driver shim works extremely 
well, even with SLIP packet drivers.

b) WinQVT/Net is a very decent package for the price.  The FTP client server 
does have get/put as well as mget/mput.  KeyBoard remap is very much 
possible.  So is scripting for automated logins.  It includes a NNTP news 
reader and a POP3 client.  Although the NNTP client and the POP3 client 
could use some serious work.  Printing to network printers is also 
supported.  On the whole, I think that it is a good package.

'nuff said.

But does it still lack a keyboard remap system? Lack of this is

So, until then its more waiting for the printer driver to be updated,

How often does it crash?
How much space does it take up?

When printing to file from CorelDraw 3, the default extension is

would like to add to the show files box (bottom left corner) a listing
for *.eps files (since I print documents to postscript files).

How can this be done?

If not, how can I get it to display the *.eps files when printing to

to overwrite it?

I have BitFax and it is a guesing game everytime I use it.
The hot keys (phone numbers) are not grouped, small problem,
and when you want to abort a call it will not interupt.

As far as answering a call it has yet to happen...

What I want for Christmas is a software package that will
let me mailmerge to my faxcard... Anyone know of a programme?

I had same problem WinFax the demo convinced me I was better off
without it! My old dos programme worked better than any Windows

     I'm not exactly sure if I understand what you're saying, but WinWord
does install things into a subdirectory of the Windows directory.  This
subdirectory is called MSAPPS and contains little add-on type things
(Word Art, Draw, etc...) that can be shared by several other MS products.
I assume it needs to be there so that all the applications that use
them will know where to find them -- that's why they don't necessarily
go on the partition you specify to install WinWord on.  Anyway, it's no
a virus.

I've looked at a couple calenar/schedule programs for my NOvell LAN.
The first was "Network Scheduler 3" from PowerCore.  It comes in both
DOS and Win3.1 versions.  The DOS is a port from Windows and suffers
from some bugs (printing problems mainly).  It is fairly easy to use
and the data can be interchanged between the DOS and Win versions.  I
understand that the print problems are being fixed.  They offer and
educational discount.

The other program I'm looking at is "OnTime" from Campbell Services.
This too comes in DOS/Win versions, has an educational prices, data
can be used by both versions, is fairly simple to
more flexibility in printing (lines/in, margins,duplex, etc.).

I don't have these phone numbers with me.  If you're interested, I can
get them.

BTW, I didn't look at the MicroSoft product since it is Windows-only
and I'm not there yet.

Paradox upgrade to Windows would probably cost. Their unofficial and I stress
unofficial guess was that it would cost between $150 to $190. I sulked about
this but was willing to pay it until I started hearing about Access. Access is
great! In case you don't already know this the December issue of PC Computing
gave Access the Winners award in new Databases produced this year the
runners-up were Paradox 4 and Paradox for Windows. Try it you'll like it, at
$99 you can't go wrong! Hurry up and get your order in before it is too late.

I got the new upgrade to ABC Flowcharter for Windows (v2) yesterday.  I had
been waiting to see what effect Micrografx buying out Roykore would
have on one of my more useful windows programming tools.

They seem to have done a lot of work on it, it is much richer in features,
choice of palettes, use of colours, general customizability and it includes
26 True Type fonts (Garrison sans family, Franklin and Windsor families and
Goudy, VAG Rounded and Kauflinn decorative).

The screen now has so many tool buttons all around it that you have to
use it in at least 800x600 screen - v1 was fine at 640x480.  They have missed
one really important  element of the windows paradigm in that there is no 
view menu to get rid of all the screen clutter to see your chart more
clearly though.

Conclusion: well worth the $99 upgrade cost.
