The mouse pointer bitmaps can be found in the driver of your graphic card.
For example, if you are using the standard VGA monitor, then you driver is
called VGA.DRV and can be found in Windows' system directory, that is,
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. You can use Borland's Resource Workshop (provided with the
Borland C++ packages) to modify these bitmaps to your taste.

Good luck.

I haven't had any problems with running my ATI Graphics Ultra in 1024x768x256
mode. What error would you get?  Does the screen blank and then go back to 
the MS-DOS prompt?

The only problem I have had is when running QEMM with Windows and 
a mode higher than normal VGA mode.  I had to exclude A000-CFFF to get the 
higher modes to work.  I am still trying different settings, so I don't 
know if I am on the right track.  Does anyone else have problems with 
ATI, QEMM and Windows?

Icon Master (IMSTR12.ZIP) can create icon.dll libraries. It will also
save icons in .zip or it's own library format. I had the same problem with
my 2000+ icons and after looking at a bunch of icon library type programs,
this is the best I could find. Unfortunately, I got if from a BBS and don't
know if it's available on the net. I don't see it on the latest SIMTEL20 
CDROM or on the CICA Windows CDROM, but you might try an ARCHIE search for
it.

Subject: Inserting extended character into WfW document: help please!
Organization: Nyx, Public Access Unix @ U. of Denver Math/CS dept.
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 92 13:00:16 GMT

[I'm posting this from Nyx because our News system has flaked out
(again). If you mail me, please use the address in my sig below-Thanks]

I would like to use the filled triangle character (decimal 30;
Ctrl-^) from the "Modern" font in a WfW document. It appears
in the Norton Desktop for Windows (2.0) Keyfinder character table.
However, I cannot copy it to the Sample Text box, and hence into
my document.

The documentation for NDW says:

"NOTE: The Copy Cell function cannot copy some characters to the
Sample Text box (usually these characters are the ASCII codes
0-31). If this is the case, you'll hear a beep, alerting you to
the situation."

OK, but it doesn't say WHY!!  Can anyone explain this to me?

Now, if it turns out a lot of the characters tantalizingly displayed
in Keyfinder are really unknown and inaccessible to Windows -- can
anyone suggest an alternative way of getting a character that looks
like a filled triangle into my document? (It might be possible to
include a picture of a triangle at the appropriate places in the
document, but this seems like more work than should be necessary.)

Any suggestions greatfully received!

I don't know if this is the "right" way, but it works for me without any
known repercussions: Just find the associated .CPL file, and delete it.
You'll have to keep a close eye when CONTROL PANEL starts up, and it will
list the .CPL files as it loads them. I think they are all in the SYSTEM
subdirectory under WINDOWS.

DOS programs will run in extended memory, the MMU will map that memory area
into conventional memory. BUT: your DOS programs need to see all the drivers
you installed. If you load anything in upper memory, your DOS box will find
it there - and it will have more memory.

Hope that helps.

I have win3.1 and have several routine things that I do when

Is there anything that I could rig up so that it would trace my key

Subject: Parity Errors Solution (Was Re: Parity Errors, anyone?)
Date: 9 May 92 13:08:08 GMT
Organization: Cripps Computing Centre, University of Nottingham
Status: OR

I suffered from memory parity errors myself for a while after I had
upgraded to Windows 3.1. The system would occasionally lock up, and then
once every so often, it would give me a text display message of "Memory
parity error. System halted".

After fiddling around with the SIMMs, and still getting the problem I was
very angry! I have never ever experienced problems with my memory before
and I was annoyed that Windows 3.1 was giving them. However, on examining
the SYSTEM.INI file, I found a line "device=*parity". Commenting this out
(by putting a semi-colon in the first column) removed the problem entirely,
and Windows 3.1 has not crashed or locked up since then.

Solution: Comment out the device=*parity line.

Disclaimer: It worked for me, but don't blame me if it doesn't work for
you! I would recommend backing up your installation first as a
precautionary measure.

Then he didn't do what the message said, now did he?  From Appendix A
of the Stacker manual:

WRITE PROTECTED.  The Stacker drive is mounted as a write-protected
drive.  This message is usually accompanied by a more detailed
description of the problem.  Follow the directions found regarding the
detailed error message.  If no other error message is displayed, run
SCHECK/F on the Stacker drive.

[And personally, if the other message said to do something else and
that didn't work, I would have tried running SCHECK/F anyway, since
the manual specifies that as sort of the 'generic' fix for this
problem.  One assumes that the ability to install Stacker implies a
certain ability to exercise free will, read, etc.]

Now then, don't you feel silly?

the _default.pif and dosprmpt.pif files.  Using PIF Editor, go to the

Actually, he can but the screen starts shaking and he can not even see

the whole screen starts rattling. Any ideas... Thanks in advance !!!

KI.Each DOS session has a default of 256 bytes of environment space.  If you
  .want to increase the environment space, you have to edit the DOSPRMPT.PIF
  .using the PIF Editor.

See my solution in this newsgroup today for a MUCH easier solution, suppose
you had 50 PIF files?  Fortunately, Windows thoughtfully provided an
easier way.
