	But if one compares the WinQVT 4.78 with win100, for instance,
one sees there is a significant difference in scrolling speed between
these two programs (with identical hardware). Doesn't this reflect
something on the performance of WinQVT? Or I'm missing something...

I'm presently using Design 3.1 to do graphics and having problems printing
fast.

Problem:
I capture the image which I wish to print using Snapshot 1.2 .
I paste captured image to Designer.
I then print from Designer.

Designer takes about 100 times longer to print 
then if I captured to Word for windows 2.0 and printed.

Need to print faster!

Is the any graphic software which has a faster print module
and similar graphics features of Designer ?

This does not happen on my system. It may be a combination of printer/video
driver. Try selecting a different printer (maybe one that supports truetype) and
see if it still happens.

Some of the new features are nice, drag and drop etc. Multiple smart icon
toolbars are nice. The envelope printing works well on my DJ500C.

I didn't notice much speedup on a 33/386.

There does appear to be a memory leak. Everytime AMIPRO3.0 is run the resources
go down after it is exited. The first time is the worst, subsequent times its
not so bad, bad still happens. I've reported this. I'm not sure the upgrade
was worth $70. But AMi pro is still the best windows WP (IMHO).

ALso I'm not worried about the minor bugs, Lotus has been very good in the past
with sending FREE bug fixes to me. I'm sure they will do this when they fix
the memory leak.

Quicken for Windows comes with files showing how to establish DDE links to
Excel and 1-2-3 for Windows. Unfortunately, I don't have either and the
Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0 viewers don't seem to be able to show
underlying formulas. Can anyone tell me how to set up a Visual BASIC
program as a client to Quicken for Windows?

I've tried a few of the "obvious" things like

	Text1.LinkMode = NONE
	Text1.LinkTopic = "Quicken|\quickenw\data\qdata.qdt"
	Text1.LinkItem = "DDE_Link"
	Text1.LinkMode = COLD

Unfortunately, I error out as soon as a link attempt is made. And, yes,
Quicken for Windows is running and available for a link. Yes, I loaded in
CONSTANTS.TXT so that constants like NONE and COLD are defined.

Any information, hints, pointers to pages of either the Quicken or VB
manuals that I didn't read carefully, etc. will be appreciated.

CAUTION: ** DO NOT RELY ON CPBACKUPS ERROR DETECTION/CORRECTION **

Some time ago, I performed the following test with PCTOOLS 7.1
(with the DOS Version of CPBACKUP):

1) Back up some files on a 5 1/4" Floppy.

2) Use a magnet to make a small part of the floppy unreadable.

3) Try to restore the files to a different directory:
   CPBACKUP retries and retries and retries to read some track
   on the floppy.
   After some time the Message Box "Restore Complete"
   NO ERROR MESSAGE AT ALL. 

4) Compare original with restored directory:
   All files are there with correct time/date/size.
   But: the files where the retries occured were currupt!!!

Perhaps someone at CP hears me...

Hi,

The toolbook DLL reference manual defines

	INT createDBIndexFile(<filename>,<sort expr>, <unique key>, <preserve>);

I am having problems in creating an index file, using a sort expression
other than a field name.  

For example, I have a field which is defined as "AYYNNNN", where "A" is an
alpha-numeric, "YY" and "NNNN" are numeric.  I would like to create an
index file for all entries where "A" is "F" and "YY" is "92".  So I tried

 "F92"$FieldName 

but an error was returned.  

If anyone could provide me with examples, usage of the sort expression, 
I would appreciate it.


Thanks in advance.

The other problem with most Windows console programs is that they
scroll only one line at a time.  When you have a fast data link and
slow video, the scrolling can appear slow because as each new line
comes through, the console must be redrawn.  This is a defect of the
software, and can be remedied by building logic into the program which
detects when multple lines are coming through at a high rate, and
scrolls several lines at once.

There are several other bugs in the program. I can't move back and
forward in the main window in month view mode because this generate a
"General Application Error". The moon phases are not correctly shown in
the Main window in day view mode for some dates (ie. for day 29., 30. or
31 August, the next new moon is Dec 24. 01:34).

There are also some cosmetic bugs in the program, ie. take a look at
February month in the main window in month view mode when the first day
of a week is monday. Also there is some missing topics in the help file.

I suggest all who find bugs when trying the demo version write a letter
to the aughor about this. Perhaps the next version will be better...

Well, after having used Ami Pro 2.0 for ~ 1 year and finding it the most
powerful word processor I've ever used (Sorry but W4W is just plain outclassed
by this program -- I have both).

Now, I've read the Ami Pro 3.0 is out and was wondering if someone could give
a short review as to how differently it functions.

Specifically, how fast is it compared to 2.0?

Are the screen updates more intelligently done (i.e. in the equation editor
does the screen re-draw every time you select a function,button,menu item?)

Are linked frames supported yet?

Is the bug about cutting and pasting frames fixed (i.e. if you had any frame,
you could not cut, copy or paste them somewhere else, including equations
littered throughout the text )

What new functions are included that weren't included in 2.0?

What new file formats (graphic and text) does it support that is new from 2.0?

Has the charting module been updated -- it looked pretty childish in 2.0 (i.e
can you add chart titles *WITHIN* the chart module, are different 3-D views
supported aka W4W charting module )

Is the TeX support for equations better now? ( I couldn't type a TeX equation
and import it into Ami's equation editor before -- gave me an error)

Can you choose what colors you want for the colored margins without changing
your Windows color scheme from Control Panel?

Can you convert a regular table into text and do the reverse also?

Any other thoughts and details would be great.

Have you tried Reflections. It handles 132 column mode and 24+ lines.
I think you can even get a version of Reflections tailor-made
for hooking up to HP machines.


I use KEATerm 420 a VT420 emulator.

I regularly use it in 50 line 80 column mode and have used it in 
36 line 132 column mode.

I like it a lot.

Of course, using a VT420 emulator might not go down so well

Hey,

I subscribed to this newsgroup with the intent of asking if anyone knew
how I could write a windowed database.  I don't need to use graphics or 
pictures in the database, I merely want to add mouse control and window
functionality to the UI.  The system is being upgraded soon (read 2 weeks away)
and the entire software package is being **REWRITTEN** from the start.

The application is currently under CLIPPER V5.01 and uses 230,000 lines of
source instruction code.  There are 187,000 records, 41 indexes and 21 database
files.  The system is networked on a 386-40 server, with 5 terminals, running
NetWare V3.xx.  


I don't mind learning another database language, but my question is, are 
packages such as FoxPro good enough, a simple relational database will not
do.  Sorry if this question has been covered before but I have only recently come on the
Net.

Summary: rooms program for windows wanted

Is there a program for MS Windows similar to XRooms, or the window manager
on HP Unix boxes (vuewm)?  I have seen Work Shift, but am looking for something
more elegant and less cumbersom.  

In case you haven't heard of rooms, vuewm, or other virtual destop managers,
basically, there is a small area with somewhere between 2-6 buttons (sometimes
more) that are basically screens or "rooms."  It's the same principle as
WorkShift, but instead of a big window on your screen that you use to move
from room to room and such, you just hit the button, say at the bottom of your
screen for a certain room.  XRooms lets you name the rooms, but in HP vuewm it's
just rooms 1-6.  Vuewm is the nicest I've seen, allowing for different
backgrounds and colors, etc for each room.  

I could care less about the fancy stuff from HPVue and just want a simple rooms
program.  I have also tried programs like BigDesk, but don't like that either.
Speed is also somewhat of an issue, because I am not as fortunate as most of
you with 386's, I only have a measly 286-16.
