Gary -- I've looked at their demo version, as downloaded from the
Ziffnet section of CompuServe, and it looks interesting. They do
provide for printing out in the DayRunner, etc. formats, but as for
special paper the only source I know of that's already pre-punched for
Franklin, DayRunner, etc. is Avery. They have a couple of formats
available. Details at your local office supply place or computer store
that stocks Avery supplies (that's where I saw it -- CompUSA).

Let me just take this opportunity to say that it's obviously a problem
with the printer driver. Well, not an error really, just it hasn't
been though out well. It's never going to work (not with that driver
anyway); just give up.

Let me add that I think the printer drivers Microsoft includes with
it's products SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! They treat almost *every* printer like
it's a draft printer. For example, BJ10ex printers support an italic
font.  Microsoft makes a driver for it called BJ10EX.DRV. Okay, the
name of the driver implies that the driver knows what this printer can
do and make it do it, right?  WRONG!!! If you specify italics the
stupid f*ck driver will *backspace* *and* *underline*. Grrrrrrr!!!!!
In fact, THIS IS HOW MOST MICROSOFT DRIVERS HANDLE ITALICS ON PRINTERS
WITH BUILT-IN FONTS! And don't get me started on their Panasonic Laser
Printer drivers either. They also don't use *any* of the built in
fonts.  I mean, do these guys read the technical manuals for these
printers or what? I almost expect to do a dir on the drivers and see a
bunch of files with different names but all of the same number of
bytes. (Makes you wonder.) You're much better off, in most cases,
using another driver altogether.  (Like an Epson one works best with
the BJ10ex and the generic HPII one works best with a KX-P4410.) I
mean, at least be honest and put out a driver named PRINTER.DRV or
something and stop toying with me, man!

And get this. I tend to *prefer* Microsoft apps. I just can't stand
the f*ck*ng drivers! (Microsoft, are you listening???)

I'm sorry for the outburst (I'm not even an undergrad) but I had to
get this pet peeve off my chest.

Yes, version 1.0 to 2.0 is well worth the $150.  Get a demonstration of the
new version if you can.  The Drag-and-Drop moving/copying and toolbar is
worth it right there.

However, some people are saying version 3.0 will be available sometime in the
summer.  One feature is TEAR-AWAY toolbars much like Excel 4.0 or AMI Pro.

Hello World!

We've recently switched from Word (for Dos) to Word for Windows, but
we're still having some problems with the following:

In our old word documents we had included some graphics outputted from
Teamwork and Harvard Graphs.  The format we used was encapsulated
postscript.  Although the graphs didn't show up on the screen, they did
on paper.  Now with word for windows, we get a message that the necessary
filter is not available.  After I loaded the filter (using setup again),
it still didn't work.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hi all!

I just downloaded WinJpeg 1.6 and tried 2 files with the same result,
namely: monochrome display. furthermore when I launch the app I get
a remainder that says: It is recommende that you run Winjpeg in a 
display mode that supports at least 256 colors.
Does this mean that my video mode doesn't support it or is it just
a reminder? I have a ATI Integra with 512Kb (SVGA) with a Samsung
Syncmaster 3 monitor, and using cshow for DOS I can see pictures in 256 
colors for sure, so why am I getting this message and the picture in
monochrome??

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

The resources problem is the biggest one. 

The database module is really unstable. 

You can't copy and paste with link a graph in another application 
(I know QPW is not an OLE server but it is supposed to be a DDE server,
am I right ?). 

When you open a document from another spreadsheet and use a
QPW feature, then try to save the document with its original
format, QPW begins by deleting the original document THEN
warns you that your document can't be saved !

I had a lot of random errors in most parts of the program. Most
of them appears one or twice then have disappeared in the next
session. Frankly, QPW looks like an unfinished product.

I've been looking at Origin from MicroCal.  It seems fairly complete and it can
do error bars out of the box which is a big deal around here.  The other
package that gets used by the folks in BioStat is SigmaPlot.  They do some
reasonably sophisticated plotting, and there is a Windows version of SigmaPlot
due out Real Soon Now -- in fact, if you buy the DOS version, they'll give you
the Windows version for free ;-).  I think both run around $500 US.

Try disabling the "reverse print order" option in WfW 2.0. Though it is 
convinient, it results in the phenomenon (sp?) you described. Worked for me.

Good luck,

I don't know if this is helpful or not.  But have you tried turning
off the Adobe Type Manager?  I find it quite unnecessary once Corel
loads in its gigantic list of fonts.  These become accessible to, for

slowly goes down.  The wierd part is that it does this

I think it may have something to do with the particular

I started editing this document).  This doc is about 40K in

breaks are there so that I can switch from landscape to

Be VERY CAREFUL when trying Microsoft's SMTP gateway. I have tried version 3.0,
and found in non-RFC compliant in various ways. Some notes, just off the top of
my head (I have reported, and then put it AWAY since then):

1. The 220 welcome message on an incoming SMTP session is illegal. It says:
       220 All set, fire away
   while the format [RFC 821, page 37], should be:
       220 pcgate.inet.ica.philips.nl All set, fire away
2. The SMTP gateway does not support the NOOP command, and it should
   per [RFC821, page 41], even in a minmal implementation.
3. The SMTP gateway gives a '503 Bad command sequence' if I send a
   QUIT command as first command. First off, that is a perfect legal thing
   to do; second, the 503 response is not allowed [RFC821, page 38].
4. I think it isn't nice to close the control channel when the gateway
   encounters something it doesn't like, but yet it does. 'Be liberal in
   what you accept, be conservative in what you generate'.
5. The gateway tries to get 'friendly names' from SMTP headers, but that
   code is defective. It understands:
	From: Geert Jan de Groot <geertj@ica.philips.nl>
   but it doesn't understand:
	From: geertj@ica.philips.nl (Geert Jan de Groot)
   which is what most SUNs generate these days.
6. Unless one puts everyone's email address in his 'addressbook', using
   the gateway to SMTP is hard to use. Can you please hand me the addressbook
   for the internet :-)?
7. There is no theory-of-operation, no descriptions what all the files
   mean. Everything is encrypted. This isn't so bad, but please make
   VERY SHURE that you are not responsible for lost mail if you like your job!
8. I have tried, but not succeeded, to install this package under PC-NFS.
   The client software doesn't work right under PC-NFS. 
   Since the client software is not my responsability, and because of the
   way the SMTP gateway works, I have worked on other things since then.

Too bad.
