It only works if you define all the machines you plan to ftp from in your
qvt_tcp.rc file.  Otherwise, it hangs if you try to do anything other than
log in.  At least this is the case when going from WinQVT to WinQVT.  It
may work with other types of ftp programs.

Subject: WinFax Pro/1-2-3 for windows problem...
Organization: University of Illinois
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 16:41:39 GMT

I just recently purchased and installed WinFax Pro to fax out reports to groups
of customers from 1-2-3 for Windows. I put all the individual names in the 
phonebook, then grouped them together. It all  works fine if I type in the
group name and send it out, but if I try to select the group name from the 
list, it turns the spreadsheet screen blank and hangs until I cancel the 
print job. Has anyone had a similar problem with these two programs, or have
any idea how to fix it? I tried calling Delrina's support line, but gave 
up after sitting on hold for 20 minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Subj: Terminal file transfer/icons

RA>I have few questions.  (I am a new windows users..)

RA>1.  If one uses the Windows Terminal file transfer what type of
RA>    protocol is used to send/recv files. ie:  kermit, xmodem, zmodem...
RA>    I read multiple books but could not find this answer.

I don't use terminal, it's too primitive. Why don't you check out some
other ones. Some people like Microlink, Unicom, or the DOS ones like
Telemate (It runs ins a window). I use Intellicom but it is dos based.



RA>2.  Now that I have my own dos tools and I have added them to the
RA>    windows as icons I would like to change the icons.  I have
RA>    obtained copies of icon libraries but can someone tell me
RA>    how I can select a icon from my own set and link to to my
RA>    dos program.  Right now I am just using one of the icons that
RA>    comes with win3.1.

Single-click on the icon while in pogram manager.
Hit Alt-enter to change the properties of the program item.
Click on Change-Icon.
Click on Browse.
Select the file that you obtained, make sure that the file is not zipped
or arjed.
Double click on that file and then scroll through the icons that you
would like.
Did you know about MOREICONS.DLL ?


RA>3.  Lastly has anyone seen the Help information displayed
RA>    "out of focus".  The monitor is fine it is just when I display
RA>    help window it looks like the characters are out of focus.
RA>    Does this have something to do with fonts?

Could it be because the screen is mostly white and your monitor
isn't set up for that or isn't used to that colour scheme?

Well I have decided not to upgrade (which is very unusual for me since I
usually HAVE to have the latest and greatest of everything).  I had been 
pretty happy with Ami Pro 2.0 until I started on my master's thesis, which 
contains lots of equations, figures, etc.  In the course of working on this
document, I have found some serious problems with the program, the major two
are listed below.

First, the fact that you cannot cut and paste text with embedded equations is
ridiculous.  If I want to move a paragraph that has ten equations in it (not
unusual), I have to cut and past the paragraph (which loses all of the
equations), then re-create them in their former positions.

Second, there is a bug when using equations with anything other than single-
spaced type (the university style guide requires double-spacing).  A line of
text that has an equation in it loses its proper spacing above and below, so
that the preceding and following lines are too close.  This makes a very
uneven appearance, with interspersed lines of double and single spaced text.

I called Lotus about these problems, and found that neither of them are
fixed in 3.0.  The person I spoke with seemed unconcerned about the first
problem, and basically said, "That's the way it works, so live with it."
The person also said that the second problem was a known bug, but that it
was not fixed in 3.0.  He said as a work-around, I could resize the equation
frame to get the desired spacing, but since the top of the frame is anchored
to the top of that line of text, you can't resize up, only down.  This means
that you have to go back and insert an equation frame into EVERY line up to
the top of the paragraph, and resize each of them to regain the double-
spacing!  This is a major pain.

After this experience, I am seriously considering going to Word for Windows
2.0a.  It already has the important new stuff from Ami Pro 3.0 (e.g. drag and
drop, easy envelope printing), and, from what I've heard, handles the above
two mentioned tasks with equations nicely).  I am too far into my thesis to
change over for this project, but I'll never use Ami Pro again for a technical
document (or probably any other, for that matter).

Hi everyone,

    I have a problem with my Soundblaster Pro and Windows 3.1.  I have
installed the latest sound drivers for the SBPro and I have assigned
various sounds to different windows events.  Everyone works fine except
when I try to exit Windows.  The sound plays but then when it's finished
all I get out the the SBPro is noise.  I even tried not having a
shutdown sound but it still makes noise.  It is a very annoying noise
and the only way to  stop the noise is to turn the computer off.

    If it helps I have a:

Pretty easy. Just do Save As, then pick out Save File as Type:

Text Files (.TXT)


Have you noticed that there is an All Files option? Interesting

As the world goes around, I encounterd another need for yet another utility.

I need a shareware utility called OpenAccess.  It is an Windows 3.x program
that lets you choose most recently selected filename.

I looked under /pub/pc/win3/uploads at ftp.cica.indiana.edu in vain.

If you have a copy handy, uuencoded copy would be greate, since
mail-ftp service I use usally takes 1-2 days to deliever.

Otherwise, just let me know the name of ftp-archive and the directory.

Thanks

There's nothing you can do about this from inside the program.  Word 2.0
actually modifies the program diskettes on installation to include the name of
the user.  If you try to install a brand new copy of Word (never before
installed), you'd see that it won't let you do it if the disks are
write-protected.  If you bought the original disks and had this problem,
there's nothing you can do.  If the previous owner installed the program from
the original Microsoft disks, then they're irrevocably changed.  If the
original owner installed from copies of the original disks, you should get the
originals, make a copy, then install from the copied set.
 
In any case, this is only a problem of aesthetics--the other name will show
only on startup or Help-About.  You can of course change the user name through
the Tools-Options command.
 
I hope this helps.

Anyone know of a program to convert Windows 3.1 Write documents to ascii
(or Postscript, or TROFF, etc.)?  I'd like to print Write docs on a
Unix LAN-based LaserJet.  The PC I use at work isn't connected to a
printer, so I usually FTP files to a Unix server to print them.

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance...
