Subject: Norton Backup for Windows 2.0

Keywords: backup

I've been having a problem with Norton Backup for windows, version 2.0
(came with Norton Desktop for windows, v2.0) that the folks
at Norton hadn't heard of, and didn't have a suggestions on what
to do about it.  I was wondering if anyone here has seen this, and
knows what to do about it.

I had successfully used Norton Backup for Windows (I'll call it NBW), 1.0, with no problems on my PC, even under Windows 3.1 386 enhanced mode.  When I 
upgraded to NBW 2.0, and tried to run the compatibility tests, NBW could not
read access the floppies in my 3.5 inch drive (I didn't try the 5.25" drive).
It consistantly gave an error about the floppy being bad.  I tried multiple
floppies;  all gave the same error.  However, I could format the floppies
and use them as normal floppies without any problem.

Finally, Semantic had the idea of starting windows in standard mode to see
what would happen.  We tried that, and NBW worked perfectly!

I tried completely deleting the windows directory and ndw directory, and
reinstalling both products from scratch, with no avail.

Any ideas??

No no no.... Install the Postscript Driver and connect it to a file. When 
this driver is selected it will prompt you for a filename to print to.

No NOT use the Apple LaserWriter driver, as it prints a PS header then a 
bitmap.

In you WIN.INI file, there should be an area of text that shows starting
size of various applications.  You should be able to discern the format

In order to use the foreign language dictionaries for Ami Pro 2.0 with Ami
Pro 3.0 one must get the following files:

		LTSSPL21.DLL
		AMISPELL.EXE

This files can be downloaded from Lotus WPD bbs at 404-395-7707 or from

INTSPL.EXE.  I assume this is an archieve file.

Also, the Lotus WPD Customer Service dept will send the file free.  To order

In Word for Windows 2.0, the equation editor always starts off in a
window that is too small for my tastes.  Is there any way to control
the size of the default window for the equation editor?

So far, every time I edit an equation the first thing I have to do is
resize or maximize the window.

Corel Draw 3.0 has Adobe Type 1, Autocad DXF and True Type Fonts in its list 
of export file formats.  When translating text to DXF, you will have to set 
text to curves before exporting and then you will not be able to edit it as 
text.  I have never tried exporting True Type to Adobe or vice versa but 
what little it said in the online help, it should work.  In fact, it looked 
like you could create your own font set and save it out as either TTF or 
Adobe.  Hope it helps.

Your right that excel won't plot error bars on scatter plots.
I take it that you want to plot symbols of some kind with a
cross showing the error in both x and y directions. You might
be able to trick excel into doing what you want by building
a separate set of data series containing the error values.
For example:

	x	y
	1	100
	2	120
	3	135
	.	.
	.	.
	.	.

error bars in the vertical direction:

	1	100+ey1	2	120+ey2	3	135+ey3	...
	1	100-ey1	2	120-ey2	3	135-ey3	...
	(make each one a separate series)

for error bars in the horizontal direction:

	1-ex1	100	2-ex2	120	3-ex3	135	...
	1+ex1	100	2+ex2	120	3+ex3	135	...

where ex1 is the error in the x direction, etc. Note also
that you'll have to use paste special when adding these
new series to the chart (select catagories in 1st column).
I haven't tried this but excel should plot each of these
coordinate pairs as a line segment representing the error
at each point.

Of course, for a large data set you'll need to write a
macro (unless you really like copying and pasting cells :-)
Better yet call MS and complain about the excel's
ridiculously anemic plotting routines. Excel's great
if you want to do silly picture graphs, but almost
worthless for many scientific plots. I've found ways
to overcome many of excel's limitations, but its getting
old, quick!

Being (probably rather stupid but) honest people, we purchased 2 different
*real* licenses for both our computers. The one at work is licensed to
the department, the one at home is licensed to me privately. We had
so much trouble with W4W 2.0, that after a lot of bitching on the hot-line,
it was suggested that we obtain the update. 

A letter on university stationery (but not the CS department)
brought no results. A *scathing* letter on my private stationery with my
"Dipl.-Inform." title brought immediate results. So I used the update
first at work (went fine) and then at home - and so now, I have both
systems stating that they are licensed to the university. It appears that
the information from the license for the software on the disk is also
written to the update disks. 

Looks like I will have to keep writing letters to get a clean copy of the
update, then reinstall the 2.0 version, and *write protect* the $%#@
update before I use it. What do users with multiple licenses do? Keep
crateloads of Microsoft diskettes around the place?

I am pretty sure that when I originally installed W4W 2.0, I write-protected
the first disk.  When the install program complained about it, I pressed
CANCEL (I think the two choices were RETRY or CANCEL ?? ) and the 
installation seemed to proceed without modifying the first disk.  I 
remember being a bit surprised about it.

So, you could try this, I suppose, and if it doesn't work, try the above 
approach.

We're currently in the process of upgrading software and tools used by
a team of software developers here.

One area of particular interest is the lowly, under appreciated, over
worked editor.  It seems that by now, there should be some editors
that go beyond the incremental differences between editors like vi,
VMS edt & tpu, emacs, etc.  I'm referring to features like, say,
the ability to select a procedure name, and have the procedure
definition ``pop up'' in a window.  A similar function for data would
be nice, as well.  Compiling/assembling and linking from within the
editor would be useful.  Certain ``givens'' would include multiple
windows/sessions, and the ability to define macros and keys.

If anybody has experience with, or knows of such an editor, I would 
be interested in hearing about it.  We will be editting in a Windows/
DOS environment.

Please e-mail to the address below.  If there is interest (and
sufficient response) I will e-mail or post a summary.
