I have tried Unix Windows. It's pretty flakey. On program I have tried that I
like is a dos program but with the right pif file it should work great under
windows. It's called mutex102.zip. It is shareware and lets you open 2 windows
up under the eval copy. Under the registered copy lets you open up 32 windows,
The only fault I have found with it is the lack of file transfer protocols.
Maybe I didnt have UW setup right. The docs were kinda flakey.

Subject: Application Error message is driving me crazy!!! HELP!!
Date: 3 Jan 93 07:03:29 GMT
Organization: EE Lab, McGill University EE Lab, Montreal

Hi everyone!

First of all, sorry for all the crossposting but I am really fed up with this
problem, and I couldn't restrict it to any one group so here it goes...

I am running Windows 3.1 with 4meg.RAM in a 386 machine (386 enhanced mode).
I have set up a couple of applications without any problem, and a few days
ago I tried this two shareware programs: group icon and plug-in.
The problem is that "sometimes" (not always) I get this message in the
middle of the session (any session in any application) saying:
Application Error

PLUGINPM (or PROGMAN) caused a General Protection Fault in module
W31-62B.DRV at 0003:0364

and a box with the _close_ option shows up, once clicked the application
quits. When PLUGINPM was the one well, just that app closed, but when 
PROGMAN is the "chosen" the whole system crashes! And I have to reboot!

I have a VGA INTEGRA video card with 512Kb installed, and set up my 
driver in windows setup as:

VGA 640x480/256 Small Font (512Kb)

Does anyone out there knows what is going on??????
It really is driving me crazy, every time I am in a middle of something and
I click on any button it may happen to crash...

Any help would be _greatly_ appreciated!!!

Much better than Apple FIle Exchange, and far easier to use is
PC Exchange, which installs as an extension to the system, and allows
your Mac to read PC disks "transparently".  The only way you'll know
the disk is in PC format is that its desktop Icon has PC written on it.
The product costs around 50 pounds here in UK, I believe it will be bundled
in the near future.

How about this: anybody know of any Windows-based backup programs which
support quarter-inch cartridges, using either a SCSI or a dedicated QIC-02
controller?  Or a DOS device driver which would make such a drive work with
the mainstream backup programs?

It appears that CP's and Norton's tape support is limited to these little

The help I require is very specific.  One of my upgrade disks contains some

installation.  If some kind soul would take the trouble to uuencode
the said file and mail it to me I should be forever grateful.  The file

to send a replacement disk.  But they said it would arrive in five to ten
working days.  That could pose some serious problems here.  Any other

Yup, with After Dark 2.0a, and when I called Berkeley Systems, they
blamed it all on my video drivers. Said I should contact the manufacturer,
or use the standard VGA driver that came with windows :-)
The problem I had was the Randomizer; seems every time it switched modules,
it swallowed a chunk of memory or resources... so I don't run randomizer.

Someone ought to show these guys how to deal with memory properly...
(and by the way, the Star Trek package is way overpriced... even if
it worked properly.)

AND, if your stacked drive gripes about you having to run CHECK to
fix either FAT or other file errors, you will need to run CHECK with
the following parameters (it's an undocumented prameter that I got from 
STAC themsleves when my system went flooie two days ago.  The problem
will show up when you go to reoptimize and restack your pre-existing
Stacker 2.0 drive.  First SDEFRAG will stop with a "Fatal Error" and ask
you to run CHECK.  Second, you run CHECK but get no errors reported or
corrected.  Third you run SDEFRAG again and get same error message as before.

To correct this give the following CHECK command:
		CHECK /=d /f
Then run SDEFRAG again
		SDEFRAG /r

ALSO, call STAC Electronics, tell them the troubles and get them to
send you disks version 3.0x

Summary: New bugs introduced by WP4WIn 5.2
Keywords: Wordperfect 5.2
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1993 17:33:03 GMT

I recently upgraded from Wordperfect 5.1 for Windows to the new 5.2.
I'm having some *new* problems with 5.2 - enough to make me want to
go back to 5.1.  I've already called WP about it, and they haven't
heard of these bugs - please let me know if you've seen them.

The major problem occurs with Truetype fonts and Windows drivers.
I have a document with 3 identical lines of text in it.  The first
line is in vanilla Ariel.  The second line is the same, but with the
bold attribute applied (eg, [BOLD]This is the line of text[bold] in
the Reveal Codes window).  The third line is in the explicit
Ariel Bold font.

The first and third lines print fine.  The second line, rather than
being identical to the third line (as it should be), has the
Ariel Bolded characters, but the character spacing matches the
vanilla (unbolded) Ariel, making the spacing scruntched up and
basically awful looking.

The 2nd and 3rd lines look identical in the Editing window, but this
error appears both on the printed page and in the Print Preview mode.
Also: I've tried several different printer drivers - HPIIIP, Universal,
Postscript - all fail identically.  I've rebuilt my .WRS files to
no avail.  I have also enabled/disabled "Print Truetype Fonts as Graphics"
with no effect.

This experiment works fine on ATM fonts.  I never had this problem with
WP4WIN 5.1.

A related problem occurs with the Italic attribute.  Character spacing
incorrectly matches the Upright font, instead of the Italic font.  But
there's an additional problem I see with this: text with the Italic
attribute [ITALIC]text[italic] displays as Upright in the Print Preview
window.

Any ideas?

I am not certain of the technical difficulties in getting external
transfer protocols to work with PComm+ for Windows, but I did notice
that there is a sample Aspect/Script file currently available at the
Datastorm BBS (314-875-0503) which claims to do just that. Let me add
that I apologize for forgetting the name of the file and that I have
not tried it myself.

Does anyone use WindowCraft (HyperCard equivalent for Windows)?  I am
interested in looking at the kinds of apps people are creating with
it.  I am also interested to hear what kinds of problems people are
running into.
