It does the same thing with a real Paradise card. I think the driver is
buggy or, more likely, corrupted.

I'm going to drop this in here to save you all time and aggravation.
Dump all of your conversion programs right now. None of them can compare
to Paintshop Pro. I use this program exclusively: psp10.zip is the
filename (i think). Believe me, you won't regret it and you won't need
anything else. Period.

Yes and no. In almost every second game where I have about one third solved
already there are points where it's impossible to tell where there is a
mine and where there is none. Think of the following example:

) 1 1 .  "m" is a mine, "." is anything uncovered (no mines), "(" is
) m 2 .  the border (or make it "2"s), and "_" are the two yet uncovered
) _ 2 .  fields.  How do you tell which "_" is a mine and which is none.
) _ 2 .  This happens to me all the time.  The chance is 50% that you hit
) m 2 .  I hope that's not how real mine uncovering works but you know more
) 1 1 .  about that than I do (guessing from your address ;-)  )

Of course this is just one possible situation of many other similar ones.

Date: Sat, 15 Aug 1992 15:57:23 GMT

Hi,

I just used a utility called IconMaster to look at the icons embedded
in the Procomm for Windows EXE file, PW.EXE. The results brought up a
number of icons that are not part of the Procomm tool bar. BTW, I am
running Windows at 1024x768 and my current Procomm tool bar conatins
12 buttons to the right of the drop-down Script File menu: (from left
to right) set-up, scroll, clip, send file, receive file, capture,
print log, hang-up, clear screen, record, playback, and aspect files
tools. 

Two examples of the unused icons: There's an icon which shows part of
a keyboard. Presumably this was intended for a tool bar button to remap the
keyboard. There is also an icon with letters on it that looks like it
was intended as a tool bar button to change fonts.

I know there is a way to create temporary tool bars usind Procomm's
aspect language. In fact Datastorm even has a sample .WAS file on
their BBS called ICONBAR which will show you how to do this.

My questions is does anyone know a way to add the seemingly built-in
buttons to the existing Procomm tool bar so that they can operate as
short-cuts in the way suggested by the picture shown?

Thanks in advance,

Danny

I've gone through the control panel, selected the MPU401 driver, told

WC.DOS users always have the old fashion method of defragmenting which is
  .dependable and cheap--backup and restore!

Except that doesn't do as good a job, large subdirectories are fragmented
because they are created "on the fly", and DOS doesn't know how many files
are going to be in them.  Since directory access is one of the most 
frequent accesses, your method isn't exactly a panacea.

Hi, I have been using WinQVTNet for a while now with a packet driver

I just grabbed the CRYNWR packet drivers, and there's a new program -
WINPKT.COM which they say is necessary to use it with Windows.

Am I correct in assuming that the PKTINT.COM that comes with QVTNet is
another way of doing what WINPKT.COM does?

It's going without it, but I don't want to destabilise my system at

Thanks.

In fact another netter even emailed me psp101.zip. Thank you all for the
help. Later I found the program pspro101.zip in pub/msdos/windows3 from
rigel.oakland.edu (yet another netter kindly recommended this site, thank
you too). 

However, I could love pspro only if I had tons of system
memory ... this program is a memory hog! (sorry, Denise)  With 2Mb RAM,
all memory-resident programs disabled, and all the other windows
applications (groups) closed, I could still barely run pspro: yes, some small
gif/bmp/etc files were displayed but I could not do anything beyond
that (e.g. mirror, rotate, etc). Whenever I tried to do
mirror/rotate/etc, I got the message "system memory is not enough" (it
did tell me how mcuh more memory I need, which is a nice feature).
Futhermore, once when I tried to display a ~600K gif file, I was
out of memory ... this program asked for 700K+ system memory! 
(at least I can use WinGIF to view this ~600K gif file!)
I am not sure whether pspro uses expanded memory or extended memory, 
or whether I need to convert extended memory to expanded memory. 
Please help me on this memory issue.

ATI supplies independent drivers for the ATI VGA Wonder series of cards
that support large and small fonts at 640x480 and 800x600 resolution.

For the ATI Graphics Accelarators, large font drivers are not 
available at 800x600 and 640x480.

I do not find the normal small fonts at 800x600 fuzzy with
my ATI Graphics Ultra and CrystalScan 1024ni.

They are drivers for ATI's graphics accelarator cards based on
the Mach 8 co-processor.  These cards are the ATI Graphics Ultra,
the ATI Graphics Vantage and the ATI 8514/Ultra.

I'm afraid that they would be of little utility to you.
I didn't know that ATI made a version of the ATI Wonder with
2 megs of RAM on it.

We use "Doc-to-Help" from WexTech Systems, Inc. It works with Word for Windows

W4W outputs an 'rtf' file which is then complied with the included Windows

@ $250 from WexTech, Call them at (212) 949-9595 for info.

The gif format exists in two slightly different flavours, gif87 and gif89.
Older programmes are unable to read gif89, and I think this is true for WinGif.

Try Paintshop Pro, it allows to read gif89 and has an option to Save-as gif87.
In any case, if you want to send gifs to someone else of whom you're not sure
what gif viewer version he/she uses, send gif87 to be on the safe side.

Hi,

today I installed Windows 3.1 on my 486 DX 33 Mhz clone, and was very much
surprised when I started to work under DOS or Windows.

The PC was about 10 TIMES SLOWER when it came to reading from the harddisk.

This could be noticed during boot time, and when switching drives under 
PCSHELL (which I use as my main DOS shell to start programs, etc.). Turning
of the write cache didn't change anything, and without double buffering my
system hung. 
After replacing the new SMARTDRV installed by Windows (with double buffering 
as I have a SCSI 338MB drive) with the old DOS 5.0 version of SMARTDRV 
everything turned back to normal.

So what does the new SMARTDRV do to my system? Doesn't it like SCSI drives?
Is it save to use the old SMARTDRV with Windows 3.1? I could also use
PCCACHE from PCTOOLS 7.1, what about this?
I will investigate further, but perhaps someone of you has an idea.

My hardware:
Mainboard:  486 DX 33 Mhz, 256 KB Cache, Bios: American Megatrend 1990
            dated 07/07/91
Controller: Adapatec AT/SCSI Bios 3.10
Harddrive : 338 MB 
Video     : Sigma Legend II 1MB
Memory    : 8 MB

Configuration:
1536 KB as expanded memory
1024 KB ramdrive
2048 KB for smartdrv (1024 under Windows)

Resident programs:
monitor.com (for having 70Hz under 1024x768, from Sigma Legend)
datamonitor from PCTOOLS (delete tracker and screenblanker)
mirror from PCTOOLS
driver for ethernet card (3c501 driver under DOS, pktint of winqvt net)
mouse driver
doskey
swapshell of PCTOOLS 

Cheers,

Detlef.
