I would like to suggest Microsoft's Schedule Plus which works with

Microsoft offers great educational discounts.

The problem is that you have the [Last Name]/[First Name] fields defined
as a primary key in both tables.  By definition, the primary key cannot
have duplicates and therefore a one-to-many relationship cannot exist
since the many implies duplicates.  Remove the primary key from table2
and you'll be a little slower on that table but you will have your
relationship.

Lemme know if this makes sense.  Sorry for ignoring your email request...
most people don't like waiting for a summary.  :)

I got my copy as an upgrade from Winfax lite.  It does indeed 
include OCR software.  Have used it a few times, and it does a

A feature connector is short for a VESA feature connector.  This allows a
cable to be linked between the Video Blaster and your "standard" VGA card. 
This allows your machine to still display VGA without the manufacturer of
the Video Blaster to put a VGA chip on their card.  Pretty common
technology, and pretty standard procedure.

The reason they say 15Mb or less is undoubtedly because the Video Blaster
maps it's RAM in the 16th megabyte of address space on your machine, i.e.
it uses that "memory street address" to put it's work on.  It has it's own
RAM and it puts it at that address.  Some cards have this as an OPTION for
those with less than 16Mb, but I've never heard of one that REQUIRED it
(although it looks like the VideoBlaster does...sad seeing as how high-end
video users will WANT more than 16Mb for other things they're doing...)

I have what I hope it a simple question...

I consistently run two programs -- Procomm+/Win and AmiPro 3.0.
After a few hours of use (min. 4 hours, max. 7 hours), I have to
shut down Windows and restart because my free resources in
progman have slowly been drained away by running these programs.

Now I wonder, is this a problem unique to me, or either one of
these two problems? Do others have similar experiences with
free resources slowly being "drained" away until you're down
to 9% or something and can't do anything??

Or am I missing something? I mean, I would like to think I could
keep Windows open all day without having to worry about such a
problem... Any help would be appreciated. I'm running Win 3.1 and
progman.exe and taskman.exe as my "shell" on a 386/25mhz machine
with 4 megs of memory and a permanent swap file.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

Copying features?  Actually, the way it works is that Joe user is a devoted
user of x brand software.  Joe sees that y software has a nice feature, but
he is not willing to change just to get it.  So, he calls up x and either
vehemently or nicely requests the feature.  Enough Joes do this and x
then puts the feature in if they are responsive to their customers.  That
is EXACTLY what happen with drag and drop text and zoom editting with
wp5.1's first interim.  So many customers called in asking where it was,
the company put it in.

Copying features could be said about all software companies.  Its probably
more a function of customer/market demand than wether or not a company
is innovative.

>Thanks and regards.

The commands you mention are all a part of the kermit server package that is
an extension to basic kermit protocol.  The Windows 3.1 terminal does not
support being or using a kermit server.  All you can do is upload/download
single files.

To use kermit upload/download in the win terminal, set the binary transfer
protocol to kermit.

To upload from a Un*x box type the following on the Un*x machine:

  kermit -i -s <source filename>

Then recieve the binary file in the windows terminal.  The upload will
terminate automatically when the file is uploaded.

To download to a Un*x box, type the following on the Un*x machine:

  kermit -i -r <dest filename>

Then send the binary file from the windows terminal.  The download will
terminate automatically when the file is downloaded.

The -i option is for binary files like executables and archives.  Leave
the -i option off when transferring plain ASCII text.

Hope this helps.

        Does anyone use Bitfax for Windows in conjunction with

havea problem displaying/faxing graphics when the Bitfax driver is

appear when I try to insert them.  The space is blank.
They cannot be found under "reveal codes" or on a sent fax, either.  Any 
ideas as to what my problem is ?  The faxmodem is
configured properly, and is capable of sending/displaying graphics,
as I can import a BMP file to Windows Write and fax it with text

(which, incidentally works normally for faxing text only).

Completely reasonable!  Here's a rebuttal:

Chaos will prevail, no doubt.
