I strongly suggest you purchase a copy of Woody's new book
"Hacker's Guide to Word for Windows".  In addition to a
tremendous amount of information about how WfW works, what
the big (and little) bugs are and how to get around them,
it contains a disk with WOPR and some other WfW utilities.
There's information in the book on how to get a $10 discount
on WOPR when you register it.

I don't recall the book's price but if you plan to do anything
with WfW more than entering text I think you'll find this book
a value.  It's available at Dalton's, Walden and other bookstores.

WOPR is also available on CompuServe and many of the larger
PC-oriented BBSs around the US.  I can get you some more specific
information if you'd like.

And no, I don't work for Woody or his publisher or Microsoft.
I'm just a satisfied consumer.

This might sound crazy.  But my roommate is using a good old ATI

whether there is a 640x200(yes,the mode exist) EGA driver for Window

I posted this earlier, but it didn't seem to make it to the newsgroup, so
here goes again...

I have a couple questions for all you netters out there using PCP for
Windows...

(1) For some reason, PCP for Windows seems to be losing a character every
now and then.  It just doesn't read it or something.  I had been using
ProcommPlus for DOS, and I've never experienced this.  I've also tried
running the DOS version from a box in Windows and it still has no problems.
This may seem like a really minor bug, but it could get in the way when I'm
doing file transfers, and it's really annoying when the character it loses
is part of a terminal escape sequence or something.  Really screws up the
screen bad.  Has anyone else had this experience?

(2) Here's an easy one...I want to increase the scrollback buffer size.  I
have gone through the Window-Setup-Terminal(Advanced) diaglog box and set
the number of pageto be 50.  It informs me that this requires 473K of
memory.  (I'm using the VT220 emulation.)  This should be no problem (I
think).  But I'm still getting noticably less than 50 pages...or even 20
pages worth of scrollback.  What am I doing wrong?  (I've RTFM but it just
tels me to change the number of pages and all will be well...not.)

Finally, here's a modem question...this probably isn't the right place, but
if someone could point me to the right newsgroup, I'd me most appreciative.

(3) Every time I remotely log in to my school's computer, *neither* version
of PCP realizes that the modem is online.  This is a problem when I need to
do an emergency hangup or something.  PCP won't send the hangup string to
the modem if it doesn't realize it's online.  Curiously, I can manually type
"~~~+++" and get to the command mode for the modem and tell it to hangup...
But I don't think this should be necessary.

Thanks for any help or advice anyone can give me.

Windows Draw! (from Micrografx) is my personal favorite and is usually
in the $90-100 range at places like EggHead and CompUSA, or mailorder.

It does virtually everything one might need, can import and export to
various formats, and comes with an impressive collection of clip art.

Since the OLE upgrade to Draw! ver 3, (current shelf stock should be the
upgraded version everywhere) it is very easy to transfer graphics with
all their features to other Win3.1 apps just using the cut/paste
clipboard.

Draw! will also do large drawings, printing on multiple pages which can
be glued together.

The book _Using WordBasic_, available for free from Microsoft, describes an
"Auto Open" macro to do just what you want (p. 85).  It looks like this:

  Sub MAIN
    GoBack
  End Sub

So easy I almost missed it.  Create this macro under the name "AutoOpen" in
your normal template, and what you desire will be yours.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a KIND soul in the (314) area code who would
be willing to do me a VERY big favor...

I just bought a Computer Peripherals ViVa 2442ef modem, and there is no

generates errors...

Anyway, I was wondering if someone would be willing to call the
DataStorm BBS for me and get the latest version of the modem data file:
'wmodems.dat'  -  the version on Cica doesn't include support for this
modem.

The phone number is:

The file may be called 'wmodems.com'.  If you could upload it to cica or
uuencode/mail it to me I would be eternally grateful.

Yes, the Sum function (as in 'Sum(x)') does interpret Null values (blanks) as  
zero.  But the expression operators (as in '+'), do not. In expressions, binary  
operators with either or both operands Null yield a Null result.  I ran into

Word 2.0 for Windows has a built-in mini app they call MS Draw.
I find it - well, lacking.  It can't smooth lines, it won't
draw arrows and there is no way to stay in Alpha Entry mode; after
every string you type you must go back to the toolbar.

Is there a dedicated drawing package out there which outperforms 
the MS-Draw cripple and which doesn't cost an arm and a leg, 
memory and pricewise?  I don't need CorelDraw, just something a
little better than MS-Draw.

Thanks,

I know there's a shareware called TwinDemo. It actually works in Windows
3.1, allowing you to type chinese characters in MS Word and other Win
software. Installing it is easy and there's even a utility to unload it.
It features font scaling because it uses True Type fonts (alas there's
only one). Great except it messes up my Window background by converting
it to normal VGA mode (I'm using 800x600). Other than that, it's quite
impressive.

twindemo.zip can be found in monu6.cc.monash.edu.au

I have not had any problems like this. In the setup for my emulation,
vt-220, in the font select dialog, I chose 8pt Lucida Sans Typewriter.
Then in the user setting dialog, autosize group, I chose Windows Based
on Font. I get the same sized window everytime - both the main app
window and the interior window. Make sure you select a font for
every emulation you use. If you have Truetype fonts only set, you will
get an message box when going to the font dialog from the emulation
settings dialog. You can ignore this, it just says that you can't
use Procomm fonts. 

BTW, all of these dialogs are part of the setup window. You get to
them by hit ALT-S to get the setup window, then double-clicking
either the user settings button or the current emulation button.

Check to see if you have a STACKS=x,y entry in config.sys.
If you do, increase one of the values (x or y), save the file
reboot and try again.

Keep on increasing the values until you have enough so windows
wont choke. But don't go too high, or you'll be wasting memory
better used on other applications.

The solution is save the width table under a different name for the last
Chapter that you had open during a session.  Do a File, Manage Width
Table..., Save As New Width Table... and type in a new name like
MYFONTS.WID.  I've done it for every chapter file I have so I never get
stuck with 50 True Type fonts grinding away.  Then VP will not attempt
to rebuild the full font list which is tye time-consuming step.  You
should be up in 45 seconds flat, or so.

It's use is that when you upload a ascii file to a unix system if you dont tell
your terminal program to strip the linefeeds than it will take your linefeeds
and convert them to ^M's in your file when it gets to the Unix system. So what
the script does is searches for ^M and deletes them from the file.

You might want to look at the Number Nine 9GXE.  It is almost twice as fast as
the ATI Graphics Ultra Pro and cheaper.  The ATI card averages 25 million
winmarks while the Number Nine achieves almost 42 million.  The ATI also
