Subject:      Re: CorelDRAW!

This is a new "feecher" where the scroll bars moved based on where your
mouse goes, as usually happens in word processing packages.  You can
turn it off so that the scroll bars move only when you click or slide
on them.  It's either in the display or preferences pulldown (I think
display).  I've been using Draw! since Christmas, 1988, and this is
the first really dumb thing I've found; however, it does conform to
what should happen, so now I'm torn between a de facto standard and
something that's really a pain.  C'est la vie, I guess.

I've only experienced "Mouse Death" while playing a poorly written backgammon
shareware game.  After the mouse died, I exited windows and reran the mouse
driver.  The message from the driver was, "Mouse driver reactivated."

It seems to me that any mouse problems are caused by applications conflicting
with the mouse driver.  I'd delete any applications which froze the mouse.

Subject:      TRIDENT 8900/9000 - 256color mode?

Hi there,

	kindly helping people on this list pointed me to the final version
of the trident TVGA drivers. After installing them windows *continued* to
work, but - what looks strange to me is that windows will not display more
than 16 colors and not the 256 colors I expected. More precisely said,
the desktop colors are still being dithered, and not solid, as one would expect
when running on hardware capable of displaying 256 colors. Nevertheless, the
256 color driver works, for instance if you do the following you see that
windows IS aware of a 256 color device, it only doesn't make use of it:

	a) do a PRT-SCR keypress
	b) start the Clipboard
	c) change the display-mode to palette ---> there you see, that
	   now 256 different colors are available.

Second, also LOGITECH FotoTouch recognizes the enhanced capabilities of
the video card ... To create good looking grey shades for the scanned
images it NOW makes use of palette entries, which are not being used by
the DESKTOP. So looking at a scanned image doesn't anymore interfere with
the colors choosen for the desktop and doesn't anymore turn them to grey,
as a plain vanilla VGA used to. (FotoTouch came bundled with my ScanMan,
its the only picture handling software I have, and probably the only
application I have that makes use of more than 16 colors)

SO, the question is: is it possible to advice Win3.1 to use a 256 color
palette for displaying the desktop and window colors, for instance by
applying the appropriate switch in WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI? (BTW, hardware
is a Trident TVGA with 8900c chip and drivers TVGAW31A.ZIP and TVGAW31B.ZIP
from simtel.) Or is the Win3.1 programmed in such a simple way, that it
always assumes 16 colors at maximum for the desktop? Users of true-color
cards must THEN be much more disappointed than me!

Hi all,
Vance's comment of erratic memory release after using some applications
is not only absolutely correct but also a major problem for users that
have "loaded" environments (with many apps running simultaneously)...
Maybe it's time for us to ask software developer's to pay more attention
on this very undesirable "side effect".
I have found this kind of bug in many titles that include even Microsoft's

              11 Sep 1992 10:15:32 CST
              <9209111738.AA16200@fourier.inference.com>

  I have a Trident 8900C Super VGA (TVGA) 1 Mb card. I installed an old
  MDA card and monitor to hace dual monitor cpacity. I have some programs
  written in Turbo Pascal and Borland C++ that use the 'detectgraph' BGI
  library funcition.

This is a bug in the detectgraph BGI function.  It looks at where
there is video ram to determine what adaptor you are using.  Different
cards map the memory at different places, but with the dual monitor
configuration, basically all the memory sections are used.

You could complain to Borland, maybe they have a new version of the
libraries which do not have this problem.  You would need to relink
the all the software in order to make use of this feature.

Another possibility is that instead of using the mode command
directly, use a batch file which calls the mode command, and also sets
an environment variable.  You would then use a batch file to execute
the programs which explicitly sets the monitor type to whatever the
environment variable says.

Subject:      Re: DOS question

To allow an automatic response for a desired DOS function, two files are
necessary:

        1. Create a file with the desired response such as 'YES.ANS', a text
           only file with the first line "Y<ret>.
        2. Create a batch file such as 'deltemp.bat' with the first line
                del *.tmp <yes.ans

This is a dangerous animal to create, as a mis-typed batch file can rid your
computer drive(s) of much needed data. This use of redirection can also be used
for other DOS command line functions requiring user interaction.

  ObWARNING:  WinQVT/Net is very difficult to setup/configure.  It likes to
  crash (itself and windows) with no error mesages or explination for esoteric
  reasons (like an extra line/typo in its distributed ini file) or no apparent
  reason.  If you happen to get it working it is an OK telnet/ftp client, but
  has problems as an ftp server and has a pittiful (v2.4, the last one I
  tried) news reader that limits you to 16 groups.  Also the lpr client is very
  difficult to get working.
  After many frustrating hours of trying to get it to run reliable I gave up
  on it and went back to using NCSA Telnet/Trumpet

WinQVT requires you to read the readme file and do what it tells you
to do.  These things are pretty easy to do.  WinQVT will not just load
and run without doing these things.  We found it reasonably easy to
get up once we figured out that we had to read the instructions and
follow them.  You will need to know some technical stuff (the IRQ
number of the network card, the address, etc.) but it does not require
a wizard to get running.

--------- Quoted Text --------------------
	I'm thinking of buying the above for classroom use but would like some opinions

	Particularly: (1) Memory - it's a TSR I presume (?) so how big?
	(2) Security: can its use be controlled?
	(3) Any use with Windows or any graphics screen (WP for Dos etc.)?

-------- End of Quoted Text ------------------

We received LanSchool as part of an IBM grant lab and hoave found it to be
pretty good.

As far as you questions:

1) TSR - I'm not sure how much memory it uses, but it seems pretty small.
We've only run out of memory with it once while running an application
which (we found out later) requires 560K base memory free.  (We're using
model 25's w/640K and DOS 3.3, so barely have that much free to begin with)

2) Security - I think that the security would have to be controlled with
Novell security (e.g. a special directory which only "secure" users
can access.)  (Our menuing program handles the security levels and
access internally so I haven't investigated it closely).  Only those
workstation who have run the student portion of the program receive the
broadcasts anyway, so it's not like someone can disrupt the whole
lab.

3) Graphics - SO far most things work.  Sometimes the color is
off (e.g. the original may be blue but the other stations see
yellow) and high res EGA has bombed on occasion (locks up
the workstations), but programs like WordPerfect seem to work
fine.

Overall it's probably a 7 out of 10 for functionality

is complete. The parent files came off the wais database at syr.edu. The

This is a self-extracting ARJ that fluffs up to about 18 megs. 

Also in the askSAM directory you can find BIG0892.EXE. It's the BIG-LAN

So you are all welcome to this database. I find it sort of handy at times.  
I'll post each new compilation of the months previous news in the

If you are so inclined please send me or upload (\msdos\uploads) your

Problems 1.) to 4.) :
   Get DOSUP5.ZIP from various FTP-Servers (i.e. sjf-lwp.novell.com).
   There is a patch in it for NETx ver. 3.26 to fix it.
   AND: Put the statement GET LOCAL TARGET STACKS = n in your NET.CFG with
   n from 1 to 10. The number depends on memory available, use of windows
   and so on. Novell will fix the problem in the next version of NETX.

This problem isn't solved yet, but it seems to be a public problem, not

Hi,
I am trying to set up a lab with Windows 3.1. With Windows 3.0 I was able
to have the ini files and win.com on a users floppy disk. Windows 3.0 was
set up to create temporary swap files on the local hard drive. The users were
able to go to any machine with their floppy and use windows woth no problems.

However with Win 3.1 users are not able to switch machines without windows
complaining about a corrupt swap file. There is a entry called PagingFile in
the 386Enh section that points to C:\win386.swp. How do I get Windows to
create new swap files automatically?

I have windows running on 2 meg ram ibm55sx machines. No emm manager so I have
enough to run windows in enhanced mode. Windows main files are on a 2.15c server
with search mappings to it. I know the is a "resource book' I can get from
MicroSoft, but I need to get this up yesterday.

Thank in advance,

I am going to be setting up a new network.  And I've been looking at NFS as
an option to add to 3.11 because I've got a gaggle of SUN workstations, MACs,
and PCs.  In fact, due to the fact that the workstations are used for image
processing, and the need for huge amounts of diskspace, I may be looking into
fiber between the server and the workstations(SUNs).  

As such, how is the performance of NFS?  How much of a pain is it to use and
maintain?  Is Netware 4.0(3.2?) going to have a built in version or perhaps 
better support for it?  How compatible is it with a network of SUNs? 

And has anyone linked high end SUNs(SPARC10s) with fiber(not that it has
anything to do with netware..but..)?  How about fiber from a server to a
server or workstation?

Thanks...Ken Lam
