I did the same thing. Simply add a program group called microsof.grp (I
believe) and call it startup. If you check your windows directory, the grp
should be there already.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

The voice recognition device to which you are refering is Foghorn from Microsof
t. Foghorn is a 16-bits stereo sound card which is able to recognize voice
input in Windows. It can be trained to recognize 40 commands in Windows.

I think you'll have a hard time making such a card accept commands in different
languages, as the would be huge. The 40 command limit Microsoft has set on the
Foghorn is most likely due to the fact that voice recognition dictionaries
require huge amounts of hard disk capacity. Entering an extensive vocabulary
into a voice dictionary is probably impossible on a PC.

  Is this card a good one and is this a good deal.  Also, does anyone
  know if this card is Microsoft MPC compatible?

Yes, it is MPC compatible.  The only negative is that it is not truly
SoundBlaster compatible.  MediaVision has a DOS driver that you can
load that will fool many, but not all, programs into thinking it is a
SoundBlaster.  Under Windows this is not an issue.

Subject:      Music Notation Software

There are a number of good notation software packages on the market now.

For Windows though, they are quite expensive. I used the program
Songwright that Vince uses. There is also Dr. T's Quick Score Deluxe
which is also a DOS package. What I like better about Quick Score Deluxe
is that it will save and import Standard Midi Files, where most other
packages must create/save in their own format and then be put through a
conversion program to get to Midi Format.

My favorite of the Dos sequencers is Ballade, but of course that doesn't
run in Windows. I decided on Wincake. Wincake lets me enter notation,
however, if you're looking to print compostions, programs like Encore or
Finale are of course better suited.

I'm curious about Personal Composer. Will it import/export Midi files?

Try the FDISK partition program that came with DOS.  Alternately, try using the
HDD format program you have in your BIOS, then installing DOS 5.

 Anne,
 The answer is very simple : you can't. I am also using this 'old'
 Phoenix BIOS. It allows for rom shadowing but makes the 384K 'protected'
 as soon as you have more than 1meg in the machine. Bad but not a real
 problem. Note however that this does not prevent you from using UMB's,
 at least it is not a problem in my PC.

VOC files are sound files created by the software that comes with the
Soundblaster sound cards. There are translation programs that can
convert from VOC to WAV and back that also come with the card.

Coincidently, I ran into exactly the same problem last night. After a
bit of detective work, I figured out the following: Word must keep
some kind of internal stack or other memory hogging structure that
keeps track of edits. (You can see this if you look at a word file in
hex, and I think in RTF too--things that you have deleted remain in
the file.) If the amount of bytes used to represent these edits
becomes too large, Word complains, and asks you to save your work.
Saving your file evidently frees up the memory that is being
complained about.

The solution, in short is to scatter FileSave commands at appropriate
points in the  macro, i.e., after a lot of changes have been made to
the document--at least this worked for me.

Hope it works for you,

Sincerely,

DM

        This article shows only that the ISA bus is often inadiqute for
multitasking purposes.  There are several possible replacements for the
ISA bus other than microchanel, however.  The three most prominent are the
EISA bus, the VESA local bus, and Intel's PCI bus.

        EISA (Enhanced Industry Standard Architecture) is simply a faster bus,
like microchanel, but unlike MCA, EISA slots will accept ISA cards (max
speed ~33MB/s).  Right now, however, EISA is expensive for a mother board
manufacture to add to their motherboard.

        The VESA local bus standard is a standard that allows cards to be put on
the proccessor bus (the bus the proccessor uses to comunicate with
memory).  It is very fast (~66MB/s) and inexpensive, but it is not
possible have more than 3 VESA slots without dramaticly slowing down the
proccessor.  VESA slots are ISA or EISA slots with an extra connector, and
will accept ISA or ISA and EISA cards.

        Intel's PCI interface promisses the speed of a local bus
architecture while allowing up to ten slots.  To my knowlege, PCI is still
in the design phase, and motherboard and card manufactures claim it will
be expensive to impliment.

        Windows does do premptive multitasking with DOS programs, but not
with windows programs.  As a side note, premptive is often considered more
desireable, and NT will have premptive multitasking.

.VOC files are nothing that complicated.  They are a Waveform Audio format
Creative Labs tried to push into the market.  There are not many of these
around, except maybe the two you get with your Sound Blaster (ribbit...),
because CL deserted this format when it joined the MPC council.

Raster (or bitmap) images are descriptions of pixels (PICture ELementS),
i.e. (1,1) is red, (1,2) is black, and so on.  This format is the quickest, and
can contain the most detail, but cannot be resized properly.
Vector images describe objects, such as polygons and curves.  The are very
small, and can be resized freely (or even rotated freely, while we're at it).

          Bad news - I have heard second hand that Microsoft Will not
  include support for driver level compression in NT.  However, it should be
  noted than NT has not entered Beta testing yet, and if Beta testers demand
  it, it could very well show up in the actual release.

I have no information about when and how Microsoft will support
compression, but the statement that NT has not entered beta testing is
wrong.  In October the second beta of NT was released.

Subject:      Macintosh to Windows sound conversion

I am looking for a Windows, DOS or Macintosh program that will convert
Macintosh System 7 sounds (or any Mac sound format, for that matter) to
Windows WAV format files. Can anybody help?

I recently found a Macintosh program that will convert the other way (Windows
WAV sound files to Mac System 7 sounds), if anyone is interested.
