Yes, I think this is in the FAQ somewhere: you need to start WP full
screen, then switch to windowed (ALT-ENTER). WP is odd (IMO!) though, so
you might also consider switching to MOUSE.COM (ver. 8.20 comes with Win
3.1).

Hope this helps.

I have an x-client start up automatically through Windows'
startup group.  Unfortunately, due to some miscellaneous
bugs/problems, I need to make sure that the particular x-client is the last
item in the startup group to execute, and it must execute only after
everything else finishes executing.  Is there some way to do this? 

Alternately, is there some program that I could use to start up this
x-client after Windows had been up and running for maybe one minute?

Yep, you're wrong (at least for Windows).  This capability was added in
Windows 3.1 (it's a new API called ResetDC()).  It's up to applications
to support it though - I suspect that WP4W doesn't yet (I know that
WinWord does).

The slow scrolling is a problem which exists in most Windows programs
which scroll text. The reason it is so slow is because the whole text
area is being painted from the top down every time the text scrolls. There
isn't really too much that can be done. An accelerated video card with a
BitBlt function built in would probably speed it up immensely. Hope
this helps a little.

Subject: WinQVT news problems/error messages/NDIS
Summary: Cannot read news, strange error messages
Date: 1 Sep 92 18:52:37 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: Siemens-Nixdorf Information Systems, Inc.

I have a few questions regarding WinQVT which I just installed.
I did encounter a few problems which most of you who use it
have certainly solved already.

My version is 2.7 and I use it with the Clarkson packet driver.

I have no problem to start News, TCP/IP, or FTP.

TCP/IP has NO operational problems.
FTP has NO operational problems.
NEWS has a major problem reading news.

This is what I see:

1. During TCP/IP, FTP, and NEWS I see the error message
	"Packet received for invalid port - reset sent"
in the console window. What does this tell me?
2. I started NEWS with an empty news.rc file and then
selected newsgroups from the news server (NOTE: I do get
through to the server and newsgroups are indeed offered
for selection, masking works).
However: in the newsgroup window each selected group is 
flagged as "no unread articles".
Then when I exit NEWS and restart it I get the message in the
console window: 
	"nntp: unable to initialize newsgroup 'xxx' "
where xxx is a newsgroup which I selected earlier. Thus I cannot
read any news - NEWS disappears after these messages. Is this
a set-up problem on the nntp server or on my PC?

3. Most of my other software runs using NDIS drivers and I would
like to use a Windows newsreader with those drivers. Is there a 
version of WinQVT which does this or is there another product
which can do this? Any suggestions/pointers are appreciated.

	Greeting, we have been using at our site for 2 years with various
levels of success. Now the managment would like to replace the novell menu
system we use in our pod facilities with windows. While in theory this isn't
a problem they still want to track application usage. Currently we are using
Saber-Meter which will allow us to continue tracking DOS applications but
will not track windows applications. Does anyone in netland know of some
software that will run under windows that allows similar tracking? It
must record the time and date the application was launched and later closed.
Preferably as two seperate records. This application should ideally be a
network application and not something that creates a logfile on each station.
Commercial software fine but if it works shareware/freeware are fine
particularly if extra support can be contracted for. Cost is a consideration as
it is at all educational sites but anything that works will be considered.
	While I do read both of these groups, I would appreciate direct mail
even if you post a reply so I don't miss it in the noise. Thanks.

I've been having a problem with TrueType and Ventura.  When I add new
Truetype fonts Ventura croaks during startup with the message "Divide by
Zero or Overflow Error"

The added fonts work fine with other Windows apps (Write et al).  Deleting
the newly added fonts fixes the problem with Ventura.

The software setup is Win 3.1 and Ventura 3.0  I tried re-installing Ventura
with the new fonts present, but this didn't solve the problem.  The fonts
were from the cica archive.

I've tried the local Ventura agents with no success, so any ideas would
be much appreciated.

  But WHY does a simple text window scroll so slow?  I have the same

scrolls just fine.  And my connection is ethernet so that's fairly
fast.  Come to think of it though, if I run a TN3270 window I have the
same problem.  What gives?

It's quite easy.  If you put kermit into server mode at your remote
computer, you have to use 'get' command at your local computer kermit,
which is unforfunately not supported in Windows terminal program.  
To transfer the file, don't put kermit in server.  Instead after running 
kermit, type 'send filename' under the kermit prompt (kermit>) and then
start receive it on your terminal program by choosing 'receive binary file'.

By the way, the terminal program is realy terrible communication program,
you should try some shareware comm. programs if you do a lot of file transfer
.   

Good luck.

If you think doing this with WFW requires some patience, you ought to try
doing it with old-fashioned lead type! :-)

Seriously, though, if you've read the manual pp. 416-417 and are still
dissatisfied with how long it takes to do your layout, all I can advise is
that layout is never a trivial matter.  It will always require some
fiddling and some patience and some wasted paper, no matter what the
technology.  What you have to determine is how important it really is. 
Should you spend your time on dropped capitals, or should you spend your
time improving the elegance (or sometimes even the grammar!) of your
writing?  Life is full of trade-offs. 

By the way, if you look at enough samples of dropped capitals in different
books, you'll see that they don't always have to line up with the first
line of the text.  If your dropped capital is an italic version of your
text typeface, for example, you might be able to get away with a certain
amount of discrepancy.

Good luck!

Turbo Pascal for windows comes with a *HLP file generator to create

My second suggestion would be the use of toolbook, which is very much

select a point in the middle to insert some text.  Start typing.  The letters
you type appear on top of the words that are already there.  In addition, a
copy of those letters stays put while the line moves aside to make room the
new text.  When you toggle view modes, all appears normal.  Is this a bug

I have both versions of Quicken (DOS and Windows), and I really like both.
The only thing that I'm not to impressed by is the Budgeting functions.
They don't let you set them up manually.  Its all done for you and all you
have to do is fill in the numbers once and then perform a copy right
function for each line.  They also only give you a few choices as to how
the budget is displayed, weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, and anually.  A
friend of mine was looking for and every-two-weeks type of display, as this
is how she gets paid.  And Quicken couldn't handle it.  But other than the
above I found it easier to use than Parsons Tech. Money Counts.
