I've used it a bit, (mostly for evaluation). I think that it is an excellant
product, and a strong contender for work with large documents. The Windows
interface is very well done, and quite responsive considering the normal
W3 execution overhead.

Frame Technology is a professional group of people and they have a strong 
background in the unix world if you need to interface your DTP with 
workstations.

From Windows 3.1 it opens a DOS windows and then hangs the PC.

Does anybody run this combination?

Have gotten the same error when using the mail.  This is what I know about
the problem.  It is host related, although caused by the QVTNET pop mail
software.  When this happens I have to call the system administrator of
our mail server and have them reset the popmail daemon (or at least thats
what they said they did.)  Now, as for preventive medicine, with the new
mail software (new to v2.7) make sure you terminate all lines in any mail
your sending with a carriage return.  If you forget the same problem will
reoccur and you will have to call the system administrator again, which if
you do to many times makes for pissed off sysops.

That's the right way! Another way is to draw a frame with top border and 
then write the world within it. You should make sure that the frame is told
to follow the text and not be fixed. Anyway the \x\to methode is the easiest!

There's a fix for this bug, available on several BBS-systems here.
(I don't know which I got it from ). The fix is that there's another
.DDL library needed to run the debugger under WIN 3.1. 
If you've got a problem finding the patch, e-mail me and I'll look up the

I don't know about cheating, as I cant' stand to play the game. :)
(Me and numbers just DON'T get along).  However, my father is addicted
to it, so I downloaded that computer program that "helps" with playing
and had a time on the expert level of 34 seconds after just one click
on one tile.  It's available from either ftp.cica.indiana.edu or
wuarchive.wustl.edu (I think that's the correct name for it).  I'm not
sure which because I got a little download happy and never DID keep
proper track of what I got from where but it's fairly easy to spot in
the games directory.  The actual name of the program is Minehelp.exe.
But you know, it's not really fun if the computer wins it for you.

I got W4W 2.0 and sometime I need to take the PostScript file with me back
to work so I can have it printet out on a PostScript printer. But when i
connect the PostScript printer to "FILE:" I never get any dialouge box that
ask for the filename. W4W just open a file called FILE. in C:\WINDOWS\WORD.

This is very annoying, since I have to rename the file/copy it to a diskett
before printint out another document (if not, it overwrite the old FILE.
file). What's wrong with my W4W 2.0?

My setup (Stacker 2.0, DOS 5.0, Windows 3.1, Smartdrv) *will not* cache
a stacked drive.  It ignores my request even if I specifically tell it

I just tried to print a document under wp4win on my EP-lx800

It prints the words but does not do the lines. I tried reinstalling
the epson driver and wp4win but no succes. I am fairly sure
it worked before and nothing significant has been changed, besides
I had to print something else a few days ago and used a friends
laptop to print on my lx800. His laptop was using the same
Windows and WP4win version as I was, but his did print graphics.
What's the deal, is there anyway I can correct this without
reinstalling windows if that helps at all.

Note: graphics printing is NOT disabled.

Nothing.  See the WfW 2 manual, page 115.  (You *are* running Windows 3.1?)

You probably used the PRINT SETUP dialog to "connect" the Windows print
interface to a file.  That's your problem; for starters go back and
re-connect it to a real PS printer, then return to this narrative...

There's a difference between *connecting the print interface to a file* and
*sending the output to a file*.  Under Windows 3.0 and below the only 
official way to get output to a disk file was to use the Connect... dialog
to associate the Windows print function with a disk file whose name was
specified in WIN.INI.  Beginning with 3.1 the PostScript printer driver has
a setup option (which is available from the FILE -> PRINT dialog in WfW)
which allows you to select either the "connected" printer or a disk file
which will receive an EPS data stream.  You supply the filename via the
setup dialog box.

In some applications -- line WfW -- the PRINT dialog box itself offers
the option.  In WfW just open the FILE -> PRINT dialog, check the "PRINT
TO FILE" box, and click OK.  You'll be prompted for a filename.

Has anybody used Interleaf.  I used it on a Unix machine

I wish it were that easy. I do NOT have another instance of Word
running, and the machine is NOT on a network -- I am the only user.

No, it's the single instance of Word which is having problems, since
after I save to another *.DOT file, it then CAN save to NORMAL.DOT.

I'm beginning to wonder if it has to do with my version of DOS -- MS DOS 4.01,
since I don't have the problem on my machine at work running DOS 5.0

Any other comments or suggestions?

I'm now using ACT! for Windows, Version 1.01 (that ".01" is important; it
contains major bug fixes).  It's not ideal, and not as good as the DOS
version of the same product.  If you follow the vendor's record, by the
time they get to ACT! for Windows V2.2 they'll have they whole act together.

I'm investigating Commence (like Toolbook, a development environment) as
a substitute, but there are some nice features in ACT! that can't be
programmed in hihg-level macros (e.g., the weekly calendar graphic prints
out on a postscript printer).
