Subject:      ATI drivers for Wonder XL card

The latest drivers, that I am using, are dated August, 1992. I did pull a
copy of ATI drivers off cica a few weeks back, but it turned out they were
the same date as those I already had, once the file was unzipped. I forget
the actual file name, but if you read the INDEX file in:
  /pub/pc/win3/drivers
you should be able to find the file yourself.

If you haven't checked the index files before, they list the filename, the
date uploaded to CICA (I assume that's what the date indicates, since it is
NOT the date of the original file), and a brief one-liner description.

I too installed Access over the weekend on my 386DX-33 with 4MB RAM.  It
is slow, but not horribly so--and I <do> think disk access to virtual
memory is the culprit.  I'm going to try running Access by itself without
other things such as Cardfile running in the background and see if that
helps.

Otherwise, I'm fairly impressed.  Does anyone know how to change the tab
order of fields once you've created a form and moved things around?  In
VisBas for DOS (and I would assume for Windows, too) there is a property
setting for that which either I haven't found or it doesn't exist...and
if it doesn't, hello, Microsoft!  :)

Subject:      Voice recognition

Is anyone aware of the existence of a piece of software that will
capture speech (through a microphone) and which will convert this
speech into text which will appear on screen? The software in question
might be used for dictating letters and other text directly into a
word processor.

Having attended a recent Microsoft demo in Dublin, I recall that one of
the items on show was a word processor that allowed the user to
dictate things like the name and address details directly onto the
screen by saying "ADDRESS" into the microphone. The word "ADDRESS" was
set up in advance as a series of lines of typed text. I seem to recall that
the software in question was a Beta version. Although I can't remember
the specific details of the package, could anyone elaborate further on its
development or release?

Ideally, I would like to be able to train the software to understand
words spoken in any language, thereby making it language independent.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The problem is indeed in your temporary swap file--Windows accesses it as it
will access memory, and since Stacker gets its hands on everything read or
written to the HD, it really slows you down.  When you disabled the temporary
swap file, Windows ran slowly because it kept running low on memory.
The only solution is getting a Permanent swapfile on your 140MB physical HD,
but there is no need to take such extreme measures as de- and re-compress your
hard drive!  The only thing you have to do is, the next time you De-Frag your
HD, add the /R switch to the command line.  After SDEFRAG is done running, a
prompt appears offering you to Grow/Shrink your stacker volume.  Select this
option and allocate free disk space equal to the amount of memory you have
installed (It's a good measure to add 1 MB for whatever you already have on the
disk).  Then you will have space for a permanent Swap File and everything will
be fine.

Has anybody tried Windows for Workgroups with DR DOS 6? If so has
anyone had any problems?

Neither Novell/Digital Research and Microsoft (surprise, surprise)
have tested it out yet, and I was thinking of buying a copy mainly
because it includes the Superstor disk compression package. For some
strange reason DR DOS 6 is half the price of buying Superstor outright.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

        I've seen some references to .VOC files and their converters to

speech encoding format - but what kind of application generates them?

I have experienced the same problem in the past.  Your video driver,
and video mode are the problem.  You can solve the problem by switching
to one of the Windows Drivers.  Otherwise you need to update to a newer
version of your existing video driver.  (Several Windows 3.0 256 color
drivers cause this problem when used under 3.1, Trident being the most
common.)

I believe the correct code is *70, isn't it?  An alternate form is
1170 (no star), which is useful if your comm program (as many do)
interprets "*" to mean something special, like "pause for 2
seconds" or whatever.  Whichever form you use, insert it before any
other numbers in the dial string.  This is, if I understand
correctly, only to be used for dialing out, not for answering, or
during a call in progress.

All I can say is that I've seen ads that show they are going to be
calling NT "Windows NT 3.1" to drive home the point that it is supposed
to be compatible with Windows 3.1.  This would suggest that they will be
sticking with 3.1 for a while.

There are several things that this could be.....

1. You could have a controller trying to go bad....

2. You could have another card in the machine set for the same
   interrupt (IRQ6) or DMA assignment (DMA2) as the floppy controller
   and this can cause a conflict that will work sometimes and other
   times won't   (tape backups, etc are famous for this)

There are several other things that this could be, but these are
two fairly obvious conclusions

Well, we've waited 3 years for the new pkzip, it comes out.
Guess what?
It's got a bug.
It doesn't zip volume labels. Do they have beta testers? A child
could have picked out that bug.

At any rate, I'm sure it will take quite a while for a patch\fix\update
to fix it.

However! Anything zipped with 1.93 can be unzipped with 2.04, so, you can
evidently use 1.93 to zip and 2.04 to unzip. I haven't figured out if thats
good or not yet.

I believe the correct code is *70, isn't it?  An alternate form is
1170 (no star), which is useful if your comm program (as many do)
interprets "*" to mean something special, like "pause for 2
seconds" or whatever.  Whichever form you use, insert it before any
other numbers in the dial string.  This is, if I understand
correctly, only to be used for dialing out, not for answering, or
during a call in progress.
