Based on your needs, the smartest thing you could do would be to switch over to
OS/2 2.0.  DOS/Windows is not _really_ multitasking, in the strict sense of the
term, and what little it does in that line will make your life a living hell to
make use of.  OS/2, on the other hand, is a true preemptive multitasking and
multithreaded environment, with compilers and toolkits designed to support its
abilities.  It will run on any machine which properly supports Windows, and
will also run W/3.0 programs _without_ Windows.  (W/3.1 programs require you to
run in Windows, but I believe IBM is working on that situation right now).

The price is right, too.  Why should you settle for Windows, when you can have
OS/2 and its advantages for about the same money?

A confusing response.  The help file format and the input to the
compiler (HC) are different things.  The compiler takes files in Rich
Text Format (RTF) with the link information in the form of hidden
footnotes, using attribute codes allowed by RTF.  The help file itself
is something different.

WinAPI has the function RectVisible (HDC, LPRC), which returns TRUE if
any part of a rect is visible.  Now I would like to implement the
function RectInvisible(HDC, LPRC), which returns TRUE if any part of a

 While I don't use Borland's C++, I have had similar problems with MSC and
with (of all things) VAX Fortran.  Seems that all of these compilers have 
something in common, an optimizer that's sometimes too smart for its own
good.  The clue is the debugger.  In order to get any type of source code
debugger there can be no optimization.  You might try to re-build it with the
optimization turned off and see what happens.  I have seen 5-10 similar 
problems.

Good luck

Date: 28 Sep 92 19:09:00 GMT
Organization: Develcon Electronics Ltd., Saskatoon, SK, Canada


Re: Program Font Selection:

Part of a program I am developing requires a fixed-pitch font of about 10 point
size.  Under 3.1, selecting ANSI_FIXED_FONT and using GetTextMetrics to
determine the size of the window, everything works out well.  The display is
as required.  The font displayed appears to be Courier.

However, under 3.0, this same mechanism does not work as expected.  The window
size seems to be okay (in comparison with 3.1), but when text is written to the
screen, it looks to be twice the size of the 10 point text of 3.1.  Of interest
is the fact that each line overlaps the previous.  It looks like the first time
I request this font type to scale the window, it returns the information of 
what I am looking for (based on the displayed window size) but subsequent use 
of this font gives an incorrect appearance.

The MapMode is MM_ANISOTROPIC and the WindowExt and ViewPortExt are set to 
emulate a tty type device.

Courier 10 point is availble under both versions.  So why the difference?

Any assistance on this problem will be graciously accepted.

  No, I worked with it when it first came out. However <heaveasigh> I suggest

From the Info-Zip project's ZIP.DOC:

   zip version 1.9 is compatible with pkzip 1.93a.   Note  that
   pkunzip 1.10 cannot extract files produced by pkzip 1.93a or
   zip 1.9. You must use pkunzip 1.93a or unzip 5.0 to  extract
   them.

We are having problems installing Windows 3.1 on an old Sharp PC-5541.
When the installer switches to windows, it reports a general protection
fault, this has happened on 2 of these machines I have heard of. Any ideas?

BTW: The 5541 is a 12MHz '286, 1.6MB of RAM, DOS 5.0, plenty of HD space.
It looks like a BIOS problem to me, any fixes known?

Windows to X-Windows or Intergraph
----------------------------------
I am working on a scientific/engineering application for windows using 
Zortech C++ and Raima Object Manager database.  Eventually we will most
likely want to port the application to a workstation environment.  Windows
NT may well be one answer, but there are special advantages to integrating
our application with some Intergraph packages, which means porting to either
Intergraph's own windowing system (I forget the name) or X-Windows (Intergraph
claims an X-Windows version is on it's way).  


Question:
----------
I am wondering if there are any
simple steps we can take in writing the windows 3.1 version which will better
facilitate one or another of the aforementioned ports.  We can't go too far 
out of our way, but it sure would be a shame needlessly dig a hole for 
ourselves.  Any thoughts on the matter?  

NOTE:  I am thoroughly UNfamiliar with
       coding for Intergraph or X-Windows.  Perhaps the port from windows will
       require more of a ground up approach.  Is this the case?

You need Professional Toolkit for Visual Basic,

this control containes a lot of bugs.

Hello.

I am trying to write my first Windows program and I'm probably
being a little ambitious, but I'd like it to be able to run from
a dos window command line (a la UNIX/X).  I know how the stub
works but I can't seem to find a way to pass WinMain to Windows,
since it believes I'm not running Windows, unless, of course, I
call it the usual way (i.e. via Program Manager or such like).
I am aware of Backmenu's wrun command but I want to do this
myself.  BTW, if it matters, I'm running on a 386DX, using
Borland C++ 3.0 (soon to upgrade to 3.1) and Windows 3.1 and
trying my best to stick to C, so OOP is out (one thing at a time,
please! (-:).

This is part of my undergrad thesis so any useful advice will be
cited unless requested otherwise.

E-mail preferred, I'll post a synopsis if asked.  Thanks a meg!

I'm not sure if you know this, but most divide by zero errors aren't caused
by math errors, but by unitialized pointers.  (The code for divide by zero
errors resides at 0000 in memory.)  Some where in your program (probably) or
the DLL's and VBX's you're using a code pointer that is pointing to the wrong
place.  Since you don't have direct access to them in VB (to my knowledge) I'd
guess this is a bug in VB, or one of your DLL's or VBX's.

Try removing one file at a time and see if the problem goes away.  If it does,
replace that file with another copy.  This MAY work.

Hope that helps.
Jon.

ps. I know removing files will be a pain, more so if they are refrenced a great
	deal.  Someone may have a better way of testing this.

Microsoft has a toolkit, which includes the .hlp lib complier.
I currently have it. But have not used it. They recommed to use
MS-Word because it includes the hidden charaters to allow the cross
pointers for help.

I need to know how good the intertask communication is for windows, for
a project proposal I'm doing.  How good is it...how fast is it. .. what
is the maximum size of message that can be passed...etc.

I also need to know if its possible to format a floppy disk from within
a window application.

What's the preferred (easiest) method for writing/maintaining Windows
help files?

The manuals talk about how you can use any RTF-capable word processor,
but then it launches into a discussion of the nitty-gritty's of the
RTF file format and the hypertext extensions used by the help compiler.

Are there any word processors that support these extensions?  If I
take an RTF file for one of the help examples, and read it into
MicroSoft Word, it doesn't look particularly pretty, although I can
reexport it into RTF format, compile it, and come up with all of the
help links still active.

I'd like to believe that there's a better way than:

    1.  Write the basic text using your word processor, exporting
	to a .rtf file.

    2.  Use an ASCII editor to hack in all of the hypertext links.

    3.  Run the hacked file through the help compiler.

I think I'm missing something here.

I have.  Some nice (but not significant) changes since the Beta.  It's
already saved me a day or two of buggering around with Visual Basic.  (In
other words: I *like* it.)

                           "On the surface, selling arms to a country that
                            sponsors terrorism, of course, clearly, you'd have
                            to argue it's wrong, but it's the exception
                            sometimes that proves the rule."
