Hi networkers,

Since 1989 I am looking for a good software to create scientific graphic. I mean
by scientific graphic line/scatter plot with complete control of both the Y and X
data, axis with log scale, axis with breaks, error bars ..... 
I am fed up by "Economic" graphic package tools like Excel or Lotus.
If you know such a software, please mail me.
P.S. Any information will be welcome, even about licenced package.

Thank you

Hi!

The program is called screen and use different sockets to set up different
windows under completely independent shells. I use it oer a 2400bps line
and runs OK.
It's free software, and from what I read in the message that shows up
every time I start the program, it's coming from GNU. You'd better query
Archie in order to see where it is.

Hope it helps.

Subject: Stacker 3.0 woes
Organization: Adelphi University - Node: Boole
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1992 18:15:20 GMT

I've been using stacker 2.0 for a while and was very happy with it.
When Stacker 3.0 came out I was psyched.  Now I know.. if it
ain't broke.. don't fix it.

My system is a Northgate 386/20 with 4 Mb of RAM and two 65 Mb
(before stacking) RLL hard disks.  I move back and forth between
Win 3.1 and DOS 5.0.

After I installed stacker 3.0 I re-stacked my disks to take
advantage of its improved compression (I got an extra 3 or 4 Mb
on each disk). I then started getting "read errors" from some
programs.  Often the errors weren't fatal; I'd get a message
about a read error, and then the program would manage to read
its code or data and continue to run.

One program, the gif viewer VPIC version 5.1, wouldn't load under
windows, reporting a read-write error.  It would still load from
DOS, or under windows running in standard mode.

Another program (the Miracle piano teacher) gave non-fatal read
errors under windows or DOS, but the errors ceased when I copied
the program from one hard disk to the other (D to C), and then
recopied it to the original drive.  I tried this same procedure
on VPIC and it did not help; it still gives me read errors
under windows and not at the DOS prompt.

WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS gives transient read errors when running 
as a DOS task under Win 3.1, but not when running from the C prompt.
WordPerfect 5.1 for windows gave me the error once when I was
resizing a graphic; it then locked up.

I've run chkdsk, stacker's check utility, and done a surface
scan of the hard disks and no errors are reported.
This appears to be some kind of subtle timing type problem..as
if the data isn't being uncompressed fast enough, so that the
program asking for it momentarily "thinks" that there's been a
disk read error.  BTW, the problem is *not* corrected by using
stacker 3.0's tuner.  It occurs whether I opt for maximum
compression, or minimum compression and maximum speed.

I sure would appreciate advice on this.  Does anybody know if
its possible to "downgrade" from stacker 3 to stacker 2?  I know
you can unstack a drive completely under 3.0, but I've been
using 2.0 for a while, and no longer have enough space on my
drives to unstack them.

Thanks for reading through this tale of woe.

Hi,

I have just bought Visual Basic 1.0 standard edition and wanted
to program a special hardware board inside the PC with it....

Well, how can I use something like PEEK and POKE, which I learned
is not available in Visual Basic ???

How can I write Byte sequences directly to any hardware registers or
adresses in Visual Basic 1.0 ??

Is this possible in Visual Basic 2.0 ??

Can I add any *.VBX file to get this available ?

I just want to program a slider which "pokes" the displayed Byte value
into a hardware register on my expansion card (at adress 300 HEX)
 inside the PC !

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Isaac,
I suffered much the same fate as you described with NDW. I tried several 
other applications, and until I finally re-tried Central Point Software's 
CPBACKUP application, I was about to give up the ghost on this project 
forever. 
Amazingly, it WORKS, either in the foreground or the background. It is as 
close to being seamless as anything I could ask for of Windows 3.1. 
The only hitch that I have to point out is that you need at least a few 
MEG of memory for it to work in the background. Aside from that, I am 
happy.
I also hasten to point out that Colorado Memory Systems just released 
their latest Windows software as well. However, I have yet to get it 
running AT ALL. Maybe a minor glitch. 8-(

Subject: MS-EXCEL File format?
Organization: MIND LINK! - British Columbia, Canada
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1992 23:49:23 GMT

I would like to export a rather large table from a database to a
spreadsheet (ca. 200x1000 cells, about 25% non-zero). This would be
run on a 386 or 486 with 8Mb (albeit some taken up by Windows :-).

A few questions:

1) Does this sound unreasonable? I am not familiar with EXCEL's
        capacities, nor whether it can page in from a file, if it
        has to. There are strings to place as labels, but the bulk
        of the data are integer numerics.

2) Am I right in assuming that I ought to go straight for EXCEL's
        native file format, rather than WKS? I would like to plant
        EXCEL formulae in with it, and don't want to subject our
        clients with a long and tedious load-lotus-style-save-excel-style
        step every time they import data.

3) Where can I get a reference on EXCEL's file format?

Many thanks in advance.

I had similar problems.  Make sure you have absolutely nothing (running or
not) conflicting with your COM port's IRQ address.  On your winfax pro disk
there should be a program called WFXTEST.EXE.  It will test your COM ports
and you should see if anything else is connected to the same port as your 
modem (or the other port that shares the same IRQ)

Note:  Usual settings for ports are 
       COM1 and COM3 use IRQ4, COM2 and COM4 use IRQ3

My problem was that I had a line in my autoexec.bat "set com4=com2"

Although I had no problems using my modem for communications in com2,
(it's been that way for a long time without my knowing) WINFAX PRO
didn't like it one bit.

Hope this helps.

Date: Mon, 28 Dec 92 16:10:43 PST
Organization: JES Library Automation, Coquitlam BC, CANADA

After playing around some with my electic guitar and my Adlib Gold sound
card, I was able to get the card to pass the sound through to my stereo
speakers live. Additionally, if I turned on the Windows sound recorder
applet and turned up the recording levels too high, I could get the overdriven
"fuzz" effect; at least for the 60 seconds that the tape runs in the applet.

I am wondering if there is some software out there that would allow one to take
this further. I need a program that could deliver various guitar effects by
bending the sound signal from the sound card's microphone line or microphone
level inputs before passing them through for amplification or recording. I
need this to happen "live" as I am not looking for a post-production system.

I think that the upgrade to Word 2.0 is worth the upgrade cost. $150
is somewhat high, but the product is good.

What I like particularly about Word 2.0 over and above the drag and
drop editing and the customizable toolbar are OLE and the OLE server
apps that Word comes with. It also has a reasonable grammer checker
which I sometimes futz with, and a decent equation editor.

Since each module is a program that runs when called by the After Dark control
panel (or program under Windows) the way to translate it is the same for
running any other program on a different operating system and architecture.
If you can get the source, port the program to the new OS (replacing any
