I have not used the latest version of AMI, but I own an older version.
It is indeed easier to use than W4W, which I also own.  W4W, however,
has better support for things like footnotes, bibliographies, indexes,
tables of contents, etc.  If I were writing research papers I would
choose W4W.  It is possible that AMI has added some of these
capabilities since I last experienced their product, but W4W has had
these features from the start and provides lots of capabilities in
this area.  W4W is not perfect, it can be a challenge to get a complex
document to come out just right, but it has a number of features you
would find very useful in doing a formal paper.

Subject:      Postscript VS. HPLJII

From the useful information on this list, I found out how to print
to a postscript printer from DOS:  copy filename prn /b
However, I have a shareware program (dos based) that will not print
to a postscript printer, but will print to a HPLJII.  We have an
EPSON LJ750 (or something like that) which emulates both postscript and
HPLJII.  We are also running Windows 3.1 which works fine with the
postscript emulation.
My question is which is better to use?
Why wont postscript work for DOS based apps. or will it?
[of course the proper driver for it helps] but "shareware"?
Any information about Postscript vs. HPLJII would be appreciated.
Thanks 8^)'
P.S. We are installing a new dos base accounting program (SOL III)
which could run into same problem.  I have ran both programs
[SOL III and sharware program called Estimate/Invoice??]
in windows but no luck on printing successfully]

There're some source code in CIAC for Borland C++ OWL. But I do
recomend to use Microsoft C/C++v7.0, come with foundation
classes. It would be much easy to write windows application with

No wonder, your sig is taking up all of your memory. But seriously, check your
contiguous disk space. You cannot create a swap file larger than the largest
contiguous segment of your hard disk. Try compacting your HD for more
contiguous space.

Subject:      Re: ASCII editor, anyone?

Didn't we just do this about two months ago?  I seem to recall
suggesting Kedit from Mansfield Software in Storrs, CN, if you are
a VM mainframe person and SPF/PC from Command Technology if you
are an MVS mainframe person.  If you aren't any kind of a mainframe
person, my personal preference would be for Kedit rather than SPF/PC
because the vendor is incredibly responsive when you hit the pro-
verbial brick wall and they've grown the capabilities of the editor
to match what their customers are asking for while maintaining its
capabilities that match the mainframe environment.  Additionally,
the editing environment has full macro capabilities using a pretty
full subset of the REXX language which I found exceptionally easy
to learn (and to use on a multitude of different platforms).  They
make a version for OS/2 and a version for DOS.  They just came out
with version 5.0.

Disclaimer:  I am a beta tester for Mansfield.  I have no financial
interest in either company.

Subject:      Windows virus scanners and zipped files

 I read with interest the discussion of Windows virus scanners earlier this
 summer and even got a copy of FPROT to supplement McAfee's Scan for Windows
 (WSCAN93). My question is this... Do Windows virus scanners do a good enough
 job of looking at zipped files that I can safely use them without fear of
 viruses after scanning? I am wanting to use some files I found in CICA's
 Uploads directory and I am too lazy to see if Croquet for Windows :-) is virus
 free by dropping out of Windows and running FPROT. I assume that before a file
 is moved from Uploads to the proper directory at CICA such as Games or
 Utilities that someone has checked it there for viruses. Is this true?

 Thanks for your help in advance,

Well, I think I can help you.
Because our company is provided with PAS drivers and board as OEM
from MediaVision, we have all series of PAS drivers.
As I know for original PAS board, there is no PAS drivers which
explicitly supports Windows 3.1. So we had to setup PAS drivers into
system.ini of Windows 3.1 by hand.
This approach worked well for Windows 3.1, even for MIDI.
Did you try that way ?
After you modify the system.ini, the drivers section, [drivers] will
look like as following.
[drivers]
Wave=mvwave.drv
MIDImapper=midimap.drv
MIDI=mscfm.drv
MIDI1=mvmidi.drv
Aux=mvaux.drv
mixer=mvmixer.drv
...
[386Enh]
device=vadmad.386
...

Note) Please do not forget to copy midimap.cfg from PAS drivers
diskette to system directory. And then setup midi mapper to "MSC FM
synthesizer" to use PAS board internal FM synthesizer.
If you have problem with this way, please let me know that.

I don't want to say that I know the answer (good Lord, far from it!!!!)
but we had similar problems with programs not releasing memory under
Windows 3.0.  Specifically, PageMaker 4.0 for Windows would do this
to us on <our> 386SX with 2MB ram.  I don't know if this is the only
solution, but when we upgraded the computer to 6MB ram and Windows 3.1,
the problem magically disappeared.  AGAIN, I don't know if this is
only because we added more ram and that the problem still exists but
isn't important because we never run up against the memory barrier anymore.
I would also be interested to know if anyone else has had this sort of
problem, and if the upgrade to Windows 3.1 is actually a solution.
