I, too, had the same problem - I wanted to print a document to a file in
postscript format. This is what I managed to come up with:

Go into the Windows control panel and select the driver of the printer you
are dealing with. In there exists an option to "Print to FILE:". Select 
this baby. Also, make sure that the printer you select has Postscript
capability.

Load your doc into Ami Pro and select Print from the File menu. Then click
Setup followed by Options (I think those are the buttons). Low and behold
there's an option sitting there to print to a file. Just click this option,
and type in the filename (.ps extension), followed by a couple of OKs and 
your document will be printed to the file you specified. 

I noticed some weird things with this, however. It seems that if you print
out the doc to a file with one filename, and later you decide to change the
filename and print it again, Ami Pro just prints the document with the old
filename, deleting the previous one. Make sure you check the dates on the
files to see which is the most current.


On an aside, I thought that you could import a text file into an Ami Pro 
document. When I select Open and try to set the file type to ASCII, the
only options that I am given for file type are Ami Pro and Ami Pro Macro.
What gives? Where's the other file types?

Hope I've helped,

James.

I would recommend a package called the Organizer from a UK company called
Threadz.  It has been getting good reviews here in Australia, and I went out
and got a copy.  Very nice indeed, and should fufill all your requirments 
listed above.

It is basically an electronic version of the filo-fax diary system, in that
you can configure different sections of the diary to suit your own needs.

The standard sections is comes with are; Diary, To Do, Planner, Notepad, 
Addresses, and Anniversary.  Data can be cross linked between sections and
show up in other sections so data need only be entered one.

The program will all so support links to external programs, so you can link
a diary event with a specific program to run, or a specific word processing
document, which can be handy.

Here in Aus the single user version go's for $A 400.

Any one have any other comments.

I have few questions.  (I am a new windows users..)

1.  If one uses the Windows Terminal file transfer what type of 
    protocol is used to send/recv files. ie:  kermit, xmodem, zmodem...
    I read multiple books but could not find this answer.

2.  Now that I have my own dos tools and I have added them to the 
    windows as icons I would like to change the icons.  I have 
    obtained copies of icon libraries but can someone tell me 
    how I can select a icon from my own set and link to to my
    dos program.  Right now I am just using one of the icons that
    comes with win3.1.

3.  Lastly has anyone seen the Help information displayed
    "out of focus".  The monitor is fine it is just when I display
    help window it looks like the characters are out of focus.
    Does this have something to do with fonts?

				thanks in advance.

It has to be WinQVT.  I had QVT on a 386s and moved to a 486/50.
That's when the problems started.  For some reason the '-' is getting
munged into a ' '.  I have tried setting the terminal line in the
.rc file to vt100 vt200 vt220 vt102.  None of them work.  The manual
states the valid values are: vt52 vt100 vt200.

It seems to be the speed of the pc.  I have the same software, same
environment.  I copied all of the software from the 386 to the 486.
The only 2 changes were: new pc, new enet card.  I went from a
wd8013ebt to an SMC elite16 combo (which is basically the exact
same card as the wd8013ebt).

I have researched this topic pretty extensively, myself and have gone (for now)
with a new product called "Approach". Like all other windows development
programs, it's a trade-off between convenience and lack of flexibility, but
all-in-all it passes the test.
   It does not require any real programming and has reporting capabilites 
built in unlike some of it's competitors.

However, if you are looking to write a D-base application
as a complete package (with Menus etcc...), this might not be what
you want (at least not this early version), because Approach does not
supply a run-time version of the package.

You can find great reviews of this product in several magazines.

I'll be happy to give more information if requested.

Just my 2cents...

The following is excerpted from the relnotes.wri file which came with 
WinQVT/Net Version 2.7:

115. The mail module has been redesigned. The new version uses a layout and 
interface very similar to that of the News module. 

116. The 'editor=' config directive has been added to the global section of 
QVT_TCP.RC. You can use this directive to specify which text editor you 
want to use for editing mail messages and news articles. The default value 
is 'notepad', the default editor provided with Windows.

117. A bug has been fixed in the 'lpr' module. This bug surfaced most often 
when trying to print a Postscript file on (say) an Apple LaserWriter. 
Typically, the print job would apparently finish successfully, but no 
output would appear on the printer.

Note: there is still an lpr bug outstanding, this being the bug which causes
lpr daemons running on DEC Ultrix systems to refuse print jobs submitted by 
WinQVT/Net. Specifically, such jobs fail with an 'invalid control file' 
error.

118. A bug has been fixed in the FTP client. This bug caused serious 
misbehavior if an attempt to connect to a host failed. Specifically, neither
the keyboard nor the menubar would respond to input, and often the only way
to regain control of the machine was to reboot.

119. A bug in the Telnet terminal-type negotiation has been fixed. This bug 
caused negotiation with a VMS host to fail.

120. The 'pop_savedir' config directive has been added to the global section 
of QVT_TCP.RC. Like 'nntp_savedir', this directive allows you to specify a 
default 'save' directory for mail messages.
