A few people sent me Email about the anonymous ftp site
where NCSA Telnet could be obtained. I'm looking at the
NCSA Telnet manual and don't see the full address of the
anonymous ftp server. However, you could probably get it
by sending Email to telbug@ncsa.uiuc.edu. That's the bug

If you use win3.1, *get hotline 1.1*. Its avail
from ftp.cica.indiana.edu in /pub/pc/win3/util.
This program is great.  It detects errors that
occur when programs screw up their API calls
(but don't nessesarily crash). These are the
errors that MS *doesnt want you to know about*
I haven't found a single program that doesnt 
occasionally generate errors, and a few that
*continuously* generate errors. Often this will
cause *other* programs to crash, leaving you
wondering what went wrong. Case in point: I was
using a shareware program that caused an error
somewhere in the windows api (GDI I think). A
few minutes later, progman crashed with *exactly
the same error message* in the hotline window.
I suspect the crash was caused by the first
program scrabling some internal tables or
something. Problems aren't limited to shareware,
but major packages as well (just try using
OLE - yikes!). A friend of mine who is writing
windows software swears by it -- I've seen
how its helped him track down and fix errors
in his programs. If your developing or having
problems with windows -- *get this program*
(and register it only $25).  Its especially
usefull when calling tech. support numbers
(usual answer - 'what bug?, this program's

I have Compton's Multimedia Encyclopedia for Windows and consider it a
nice product.  In particular, its user interface is very easy to use.
The only problem with it is that one animation sequence (an erupting
volcano) doesn't work and locks us my PC because of a conflict with
my Diamond Stealth Windows accelerator card.  Yes, I know that sounds
bizarre.  But I've spoken with Compton's technical support several
times and that's what they insist causes the problem.  Unlike all the
other problems I've had with "the Stinkin' Stealth" (that's how I've
come to regard it), this one is *not* caused by buggy drivers.  As
long as I avoid the volcano sequence, the encyclopedia works fine.

I'm not sure that it can be done all that easily. I have attempted to do it 
on several occasions with out the results I desired. Generally it requires 
making two graphs: 1) a scatter plot of averages; and 2) a high-low of the 
standard deviations. Next you must overlay one on top of the other. I 
became so frustrated that I gave up and now use SigmaPlot which does a 
great job of creating the graph, but formatting the graph it is slow and 
cumbersome. Excel just doesn't have good graphing capabilites for the 
scientist.

Good Luck

Check to see if the Exclusive box in the PROCOMM.PIF file is checked.
If so, click on it to uncheck it and click on Background.

This was good news -- but apparently WinCD's registered version also lets

Unfortunately doing this requires that you use RAM instead of NOEMS for 
EMM386 -- and that eats up 64K of memory!  My high memory is crammed full,
my low memory has lots of stuff, and no QEMM or 386Max can seem to get
me any more.

*HOWEVER*, I have found a wonderful solution: WINSTART.BAT.  If you create
this file in your Windows directory, it will, as described in the Windows
Resource Kit, get run as Windows starts --- and any TSRs or drivers loaded
in it will be accessible (and take memory from) Windows only, and not from
any DOS sessions.  

So I now have MSCDEX in my WINSTART.BAT, I have over 500K in my Korn shell
DOS boxes, and I can use the very nice WinCD player.  Hey, I'm happy!  :)

I don't think there is any *functional* difference between the educational

I got IntelliDraw a couple of weeks ago and I am impessed by some of
its capabilities. Especially the linking features are very useful for certain 
types of drawings. You can even make simple animations using this feature. 
There is a definite drawback with the package as well though, -- it is sloooow!

Depending on what kind of drawings you need to make I would still recommend it 
though. Last number of PC Magazine (I got it in the mail yesterday) mentioned 
some of the same same objections/features so you might want to have a look at 
that. The same article also have reviews of other entry- to mid-level 
drawingpackages.

Hi everyone.. I'm having problems with WinQVT/NET version 27.. I'm fairly
new to this SLIP interface so I was wondering if anyone could help me get
this working.  I can't even connect.. I'll try to leave as much information as Ican.. 

The problem is that I can't get WinQVT/NET to recognize my modem.. When I try
to Telnet or FTP all it says is that "Host or Gateway Not responding".. I've
got the correct Packet Drivers (SLIP8250.COM) and the PKTINT.COM file that 
is used for Protected Mode interface with Windows.. So far as I can tell, my
.RC file is correctly configured though that may be the problem there as well.
I usually go into either winQVT or Qmodem and either minimize it or leave
the carrier on the hook and go into QVT/NET.  But that doesn't seem to work..
The documentation said to use an asyncronous communication program and to 
jump out.. It just seems like the modem isn't communicating to QVT/Net

This is my addresses for the Packet Drivers..

0x2f8 for COM2
IRQ is 3
Baud is set at 9600
Interface type is SLIP

IF anyone has any suggestions or just ways that they've managed to make this
work, please either sending me E-mail or post a Follow-up.. I would greatly
appreciate it..

Hi,

I would like to hear from anyone else who has been trying to get the
W4W 2.0b maintenance relesse out of Microsoft Canada.

I originally called Microsoft Canada to order W4W 2.0b when I first
heard of it back around mid-September. At that time I was told that it
would not be available until the end of that month. I left my name and
address and was told that it would be shipped as soon as it was
available.

I checked in with Microsoft in early October and was told that W4W
2.0b should be available "soon." I called back on October 7 and was
told that they were ready to ship, but my order had probably been
delayed because Microsoft had decided to charge a $7.50 shipping fee
and I had not left any credit card info with my previous order (but
then again, I wasn't asked for it either). No problem - I gave my
credit card number to Microsoft and was left with the impression that
they would ship me the product right away. I called back today, and I
was told that (1) they are just duplicating the disks now, and that
(2) they have decided _not_ to charge a shipping fee.

Has anyone else tried to get W4W 2.0b from Microsoft Canada? I'd like
to know what information you might have been told.

Thanks and regards,

Danny
