I recently purchased a Gateway 2000 4DX2-66V with a local bus ATI Graphics
Ultra Pro, and was wondering if anyone out there has noticed bizarre behavior
in Windows.  Here's what I mean:
	1) Printing:  I use a Panasonic KX-P1124i and notice that whenever I
		Print from Windows, some lines are missing and out of place,
		and generally not good.  This happens when I use a variety of
		the Epsonlike printer drivers, such as NEC, Epson, IBM, and
		Panasonic.
	2) Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0:  Good luck.  If I'm lucky I can
		get this one to load.
	3) Microsoft Golf for Windows:  'Box' appears around player in any of
		the 16-bit color modes.
	4) Caseliner 3.5: Dotted lines do not appear properly on-screen.

I have NONE of these problems when I switch from the ATI mach 32 drivers to
8514/a, Crystal Fonts, or VGA.  But there is quite an obvious speed penalty.
I am up to build 50 on the mach 32 drivers, but they have yet to correct ANY
of the problems I have had.  Anyone have any hints?  Suggestions?  Fixes?

The body of the message which I received :-) ...

      There's no direct way within Windows to change the Prog Grp icons
      BUT I did come across this Shareware prog in CICA which would allow
      you to change that icon.  Sorry - cant remember the subdirectory
      the file is located in.

      Just in case you dont know CICAs ftp address, its 129.79.20.84.

Build 50 still has many incompatibility problems with many DLL's.  Don't call
ATI to ask for suggestions...their suggestion is to switch to the 8514a driver
or wait until their next build is released....when???? Good question!  I've
gotten two different answers for the two times that I called...one person said 
last week, another said by mid-January...last week came and went...

One of their support techs also suggested trying their Mach 8 drivers...what a 
waste of time (it don't work!).

Being on the cutting edge of technology you sometimes get cut.

don't show up in Control Panel/Fonts, nor are they among the fonts listed in

This is not correct.  OS/2 does allow direct control of i/o hardware
provided no other process is using it at the time.  So most dos games
run fine under os/2 in a full screen dos session.

Gee, I've seen several systems configured that way, and I have one here.
No problems, and I've yet to see a Windows or DOS install have a problem
with the stacked drive.  While it's certainly true that it "could" cause
a problem, it isn't an epidemic.  Coupled with the fact that if you have
a lot of stuff installed, especially with Windows, it's a pain in the butt
to change the drive, I don't see a significant problem with swapping 
drives with Stacker.  The favor I did myself was not to have to 
reconfigure each Windows application manually!

Sometimes it's full too, though.  There's also oak.oakland.edu that has
a few programs and also mirrors simtel20.  If you really want to get

Hi!

The year is changing and my NEC MonoGraph is getting older...
I have drivers for Win 3.0, but for some reason it doens't play
with Win 3.1.  I called the NEC guys here in Finland, but they
were not too interested in my problem.

Now I ask if anyone of you remember seeing Win 3.1 drivers
for this good old beast. (1024 x 1024, co-processed, monochrome)
It is just perfect for my Ventura Publisher work.

Please e-mail me (karmat@utu.fi) as I have very infrequent
access to this group.

THANK YOU, and have a good coming year!

Could someone tell me of an (easy) way to get Windows to remap
the QWERTY keyboard to Dvorak?  I wrote a program that does just
that for DOS but it has no effect on Windows applications.  Sorry
if this is a FAQ.


Regarding Stacker:

I installed Stacker 3.0 a couple of weeks ago and it definitely
seems to be flakier than version 2.0.  I'm frequently having to
repair disk problems with CHECK.  In all fairness, I'm not
entirely sure that Stacker is causing the problems, but it's
starting to seem that way.  

However, I would never go back to Stacker 2.x.  Before Stacker 3.0, 
I had to restart Windows whenever I wanted to change cartridges
in my Syquest drive.  The elimination of this inconvenience is
worth any minor performance degradation that may occur, IMHO.

According to the specs that I have received from ATI, only the Ultra PRO

AOL allows Internet email only. There are no other services I know of. They
actively discourage people from subscribing to mailing lists, etc. There is
a 24k or so limit on the size of incoming email messages.

You're asking about two products that are still under NDA, as far as I
know. Don't expect too many responses.

I can say that CIM/Win is due to be announced in January, at Networld, I
believe.

I think you should contact Beame & Whiteside Software, Ltd.  I don't have
their number on me right now (it's at work and I'm not), but they have just
come out with an EXCELLENT new version of their TCP/IP and NFS package which
provides full support for Windows 3.1.  Not only do they provide a Windows
Telnet and FTP package (with file manager-like drag and drop support), but
they also provide full support for FTP and Telnet SERVERS!  (Among many
other types of servers as well.)  The Telnet server has to be seen to be
believed.  It will give the user who Telnets into your machine a DOS prompt
an the ability to run most any character based application he desires!  (Full
screen, too!)  His machine will be constantly updated to show the correct
application screen that is really running on your computer.

Neat stuff, contact me and I can give you their address and phone number.

Ian
