Yes, and it's great. I'd pay real money for the program alone. The
filters, as well as many of the other effects (look at the FX tool)
work only on true colour images. You can convert any image to true
colour with the "Image->Convert to" menu item. You don't actually have
to be in any true colour display mode to use the filters.

        So I may as well, since Microsoft has never seen
        seen the utility of making mouse buttons config-
        urable.  I'd be happy if I could set drag-n-drop
        to left+right buttons, and leave select functions
        to the left button.  Alas, the only mouse programming
        capability provided under box-stock Windows is switch-
        ing L <--> R button functionality.
        
        Does the macro language add-on offer enhanced mouse
        functions?

       It would behoove you to keep the topic in sight.  MY point
       was that the upgrade does not necessarily help with pro-
       ductivity.  I'm sure there are plenty of people who will
       pay $129 dollars for anything in shrinkwrap and then spend
       dozens of hours fwobbling through the manual and help screens,
       just to figure out how to do things they used to know how to
       do.  It is going to take a lot of new toolbar functions to
       make up for even one hour lost to studying the new interface.

There is nothing in the pif file that will affect the mouse.  Check your
mouse driver and see what version it is.  If its not 8.2, you should 
consider getting that version.  I had similair problems in the past, upgrading
to v8.2 of mouse driver fixed them.  Mouse now works in dos apps whether they
be full screen or windowed (or started from a pif/icon).  There is another 
post somewhere here that is similair.  In my reply to that one, I gave the 
number to MS customer support.  Check that one, give em a call.  Tell them you
want mouse driver 8.2.

If uou are going to buy a word processor, get it " for Windows ". It makes
graphics, pictures, ...etc easy to import in your document (via Clipboard).
The Windows environment is WYSWYG.
I was a WORD user for years and now Word for Windows to keep compatibility
with MAC users. W4W can read/write MAC Word files, as well as DOS Word and
WordPerfect. W4W vers. 2.0 comes also with an Equation Editor, a drawing 
package (similar to PaintBrush) and a basic graph pack.
W4W is a bit heavy to run but with your 486, it should not be bad.

Call the Programmer's Shop (1-800-421-8006).  They sell several X Windows

they can probably provide more information (my catalog is a little old).

Brian,
if your brother is using V.2.0 - there is a formulae editor included.
if your brother is using V.1.1 he should use the formula-type field.
The "field"-function should be explained in any manual.

Well, sometime in the last couple of versions they finally added
asynchronous scrolling to the Telnet windows. No more having to scroll every line, just jump
to the correct position.

Have QPC added it to the FTP window as well?

Yay!

Any Word for Windows Buffs out there:

We have a local area network of computers set up with Novell Netware.
We have Windows installed on the network and Word for Windows 2.0 on the 
network.

The problem is that every now and again, one or more of the computers, 
give the message:  Out of Memory, when Word for Windows is running.  You are
then unable to do anything, such as saving a document.  The only option is to
load another copy of Word for Windows and copy and paste the contents of the
other Word for Windows into the new copy!  

In other words for some reason there
is enough memory to load an entire new copy of Word for Windows, but not enough
to save a document in the first copy of Word for Windows.

Any suggestion to what causes this error and how it can be solved would be
greatly appreciated!

there a way to print the character AND the keystroke(s) side-by-side

Considering that in many cases the upgrade price is more expensive than

I would feel very comfortable agreeing with the above.

I have listed below the companies I currently

VisionWare and Network Computing Devices support 
serial line/modem connections via the XRemote protocol.
This is supposedly ten times faster than using SLIP.
I don't know if the other companies provide similar functionality.

I am interested in information about using any of 
these products *over a modem connection*.  
I will summarize the results for the net.
