To add a little more confusion :

After getting this 0x0000000A, I removed everything from my machine
what is not essential, with the same error ....
A friend of mine has exactly the same motherboard,
but an adaptec1542 and scsi harddisk, and nt runs 
just fine.

( I'm running an atbus disk ( seagate st3283A ).

Now today someone told me, he had the same problem, and
it is related to the seagate atbus model. He changed to 
another, and nt runs fine ...

I can't believe this !
The disk is very new (intoduced this year), and I can't 
believe, that an atbus harddisk can make anything wrong,
what windows 3.1 with 32bit access tolerates !!

Is microsoft about to kill the atbus harddisks or what ??????????

Any statement from microsoft would be very 
good here !

NT Domains and LAN Manager 2.x domains are not quite the same thing.
All you need to do to get cooperation between your NT machine and
your LAN Manager domain is to set the NT machine to a workgroup
name the same as the LAN Manager domain name. You will then be able
to connect to your LAN Manager resources. Sometimes the network 
browser doesn't find the LAN Manager servers at first so you may have
to type in the UNC names of shares rather than point and click to get them.

You will also find that NT File Manager can manage shares and permissions
on the LAN Manager Servers.

   Is it possible to run PORTTOOL.EXE under WIN32s ?

No.  PORRTTOOL uses threads to perform backgound ports.  As threads are not 
supported in Win32s, PORTTOOL won't run.  You must use NT.

   Where could I find a list of WIN32s APIS ?

According to docs I have seen, all Windows NT API are present in the Win32s
DLLs.  When you call a function that cannot be implemented in DOS (i.e NT
specific), it will generate a runtime error stating that a function cannot
be found.  I have not verified this.

We *will* offer Windows Sockets 16-bit support under the final release of
Windows NT. This support was not fully tested to make it into the October
beta/SDK. You should be able to use eXceed in future releases of Windows
NT without problem.

I grabbed the mxxnt5.zip file from ~/pub/pc/win3/uploads at CICA and
followed the install procedure.  Upon restarting NT, I get the message
"VGAWONDER or ATI accelerator not found" and NT comes up using my previous
video settings (Video 7 VRAM II at 1024x768x16).  At first, I guessed that
this was because I had placed the board at D000 instead of the default C880,
so I moved it to C880 -- no change.

Hardware:  Dell 486/33 EISA w/ 16 MB RAM
           Adaptec 1542B SCSI host adapter
           Video 7 VRAM II with 1 MB RAM
           ATI 8514/ULTRA with 1 MB RAM

The ATI card works fine in Windows -- I usually use the 8514/a (small fonts)
driver.

Oh well, maybe in version 0.06 ...

I found the reason for a problem I posted a while ago, which stopped
installed fonts being shown in the common dialog for font select in both
32-bit and 16-bit apps

It turns out that if you specify CF_FIXEDPITCHONLY in the CHOOSEFONT
struct, the dialog routine disqualifies _all_ fonts except the standard
raster fonts.

Only way of getting fixed-pitch only I can see at the moment is to show
all the fonts, and use WM_CHOOSEFONT_GETLOGFONT to check the details when
the user clicks OK. Messy.

Subject: Syncing with DOS apps from Win16
Date: 15 Dec 92 16:53:50 GMT
Organization: Department of Computing at Lancaster University, UK.

Busy porting my PFE editor to NT, and trying to use the Win16 version to
do the edits, I've come across an interesting problem:

PFE can run DOS commands and wait for them to complete. Under Windows 3
it does this by WinExec'ing the exe file, and then walking the task list
until the task it starts is no longer there. This seems to work fine.

When running in the Win16 subsystem, though, PFE does the WinExec, and
instantly decides that the child task has finished. I suspect that this
is because the DOS task runs in the DOS subsystem, so doesn't appear in
the Win16 task list ever.

So, what if any is a good protocol to use to do this job _under Win16?_.
And a necessary corollary, what's the definitive way for a 16 bit app to
detect that it's running in the Win16 subsystem under NT rather than a
good old Windows 3.1 environment?

And a side question: I use the common dialogs to do font selection, and
it's fine under Windows 3. But under Win16, I don't see any TT fonts.
Anyone like to suggest what the reason might be? [Yes, I do have
language set to English(American), and W4W under Win16 _can_ see TT
fonts]

I had the same problem with the .WRI files. In fact, I just found out
that some older .WRI files that I have that used to work, now don't.
(this is under Windows 3.1, not even NT.) What you have to do is
delete the tabs from in front of the graphics, so that they line up on
the left hand side of the screen. Position your cursor on the last

until the graphic becomes visible.

Unfortunately, this breaks *everything*, unless it's negotiated in some
way, in which case we end up with two parallel sets of code which are
identical except for the width of characters handled.

However... if you convince the NT versions of telnet etc. to encode their
Unicode characters using the UTF-2 encoding before placing it on the net,
then:

(1) So long as the NT crowd sticks to characters found in ASCII, *nothing*
	has to change -- the UTF-2 representation of ASCII characters is
	identical to ASCII.

(2) If the other Internet software is willing to tolerate 8-bit octets
	in filenames etc. -- which will mean some adjustments to protocols,
	and probably some reprogramming (but not nearly as much) -- then
	everything works, without multiple versions of the code.  UTF-2
	avoids octets that break things like C string functions.  The
	only code that has to actually *know* that something funny is going
	on is code that has to work with text character-by-character, e.g.
	filename wildcard expanders.

(3) For text that is mostly ASCII, only one octet has to be transmitted
	or stored per character.

I'm afraid that, in an interoperable world, Windows NT got this wrong and
Bell Labs's Plan 9 got it right.  Using UTF-2 makes the transition a whole
lot less painful, and doesn't break backward compatibility nearly as badly.
