Subject:      Help

Dear networkers,

I have some problems with my WINDOWS and perhaps you can help me.
First, I have found problems to type Brazilian characters - "cedilha", cha-
racters with accent and with ~ - when I run word-processors in Windows
(for example, MS-Works for Windows). The funny thing is that I can type
such characters when I run a word-processor (such as WordPerfect) in the
MS-DOS (for I customized monitor, keyboard and printer to do this job).
I suppose that the arrangements I made in my MS-DOS are not automatically
transferred to my Windows.
Do you know how can I solve this problem?
The second problem is related to my printer. My printer is a Raven RP-9105
and again it works very well when I run a word-processor in my MS-DOS. For
example when I want to print a WordPerfect document with a "draft" quality,
I find no problem. But when I want to print a "draft" quality document with
MS-Works in WINDOWS, it doesn't work, for the outcome is always a "high qua-
lity" printing. I think it is so because I couldn't set up the RP-9105 dri-
ver in my WINDOWS as I did in my WordPerfect. So, I had to set up a printer
driver (Epson FX-850) that was included in the printer setup list  of my
WINDOWS, which I supposed was at least compatible with my Raven. But it
has not worked.
Do you have an idea of why my WINDOWS refuses to set up a driver which is
not included in its setup list?
I would appreciate any suggestion.

You can add any sound you like from your CONTROL icon to be associated with
any event that you choose. Sounds need to be in .WAV format. CICA has some
nice samples that you might like .. Look under /pub/pc/win3/sounds.
Get 84wavs.zip, it's worth it :)

Do you mean any event from the default list of events in the control panel sound
  bit, or any event at all?

If any event, then could you give us a list of events to try?

Thanx,

Chris.

Subject:      256 colors...

Hello everyone,

Can anybody explain the following:

I'm using Win 3.1 w/TSENG ET4000 based card... When in a 256 color mode this
strange thing happens: if I try to open more than one session of a GIF viewer
and display only 256 color pictures the only one that looks OK is the one in the
   active window.As soon as I switch to another viewing session the old active
session drops down to what looks like 16 color and now the new active session
looks ok...

So,does anybody have a clue what happens here?

Thanks,Nick.

P.S. Hope I wasn't too confuse...

I smell a Stacker drive somewhere. If you have C: and D:, it's best to play it
safe and copy if to both.
Anyway, it's quite easy to find out the mode Windows runs in.  If you are in
Windows 3.1, select Help->About from just about anything you got with Windows.
SHELL.DLL, which displays these screens, has a built-in ability to detect the
current mode.
If you are running 3.0 for some obscure reason, run WINVER.EXE, which displays
the Windows version (DUH!).

Thanks for your reply, Rob.

on hold?  I knew that Borland was suppose to have a new release soon.  I have
v2.1, and someone has mentioned a 'professional' version.

Subject:      connection to pworks file service without using windows file mgr

        Hi Everyone,

        Does anyone know if there is a way thru Microsoft windows to connect
        to a network file or disk service without having to use the file
        manager?  What we'd like to be able to do is create a windows batch
        file that would make the connection to a service, run the application,
        and disconnect from the service as soon as they exit.

        We're demo/testing a shareware package called winbatch, but the nearest
        thing I can come to using it is to have a macro that opens the file
        manager, makes the connection, closes (or minimizes) the file manager
        depending on whether it was already open or not, and then runs the
        application.  It seems like this is a lot of extra stuff to go thru...

        If I need to, I could probably write a program thru Visual Basic - if
        there are functions to connect to network services...

        What we're doing is converting from a DOS-based menuing system that
        uses batch files to MS Windows...  We have batch files that look like
        the following:

                USE H: \\node\application
                WP/NT...
                USE H:/D

        Ideally, we'd like to use the same batch files, but since you can't
        issue the use command in the batch file, we need to find a way to
        make the connection, and disconnect from windows before we execute
        the DOS application.


        Any one have any ideas or suggestions?  Any help would be greatly
        appreciated...

In Winword you should be able to attach a macro that prints the pound

Talked to Tom Cervenka (list owner) and noticed himself that the list
was held and released it.  He deleted MASTERUS@UG....... so maybe
that will eliminate a lot of junk we've been getting lately.

BTW, you can always check to see if the listserver is "alive" by sending
a listserv command THANKS.  You may also send a listserv command
QUERY WIN3-L to see your status on the listserver.

Subject:      Re: Dynamic Dialog Boxes

----- Begin Included Message -----
Dear Netters,

I've allready posted this question few days ago but I've not received an answer
yet. So I try again ...

Here is my problem.

I'd like to  find a  mean to  allow an  end-user (in this case a physician or a
nurse)  to dynamicaly create some kind of simplified dialog boxes, with defined
objects (ako custom controls : filtered edit-box, combos, ...). Each dialog box
is linked to a corresponding printed form.

These  dialog  boxes  should  be used later  to enter data in a relational data
base and eventualy to print the associated formulary.

I don't want to "hard code" all these dialog boxes in my application because :

(1) each hospital uses approximatively 800 types of printed forms.  These forms
    are not standardized and may change from hospital X to hospital Y;
(2) the template  and the  data  associated to  a  printed form may change with
    time;
(3) new  types of  printed forms may be  created at any  time by the hospital's
    administration;

So, I'd like to find a way of storing the definition of a dialogbox (build with
some specialized tools) into the database  (perhaps using BLOBS) and dynamicaly
interpret it at load time. Some controls  in the dialog box should be linked to
fields in the database.

If some of you  has allready  resolved  a similar problem, I'd like to have his
comments and advices.

True.  The Adobe fonts are still the highest quality fonts around.  But
they're also quite expensive.  You can spend fifty to a hundred bucks on
just *one* face.  I figure, it pretty much depends on what you want the
font for.  And what you're using to print out the font with.  And if you
want to spend the bucks for a font engine.  Remember, if you  have Win 3.1,
you get Truetype for free.  Some folks don't want to fork out sixty bucks
for ATM and fifty to a hundred bucks more for a typeface.  Since the
original poster was looking for free or cheap fonts, I suggested some
relatively inexpensive packages.

Ah yes... but on EGA and VGA the video buffer at A000 consists of four memory
planes in parallel. If I could choose which one I am writing too I would solve
the problem!

According to Walton, any cpu read or write to/from the video buffer
automatically results in the graphics controller registers being updated
with the values written/read.  So again, this ain't so quick!

Likewise - a good book but Norton (deliberately?) left out specific video
info since Waltons book came out around the same time and they are personal
friends.

My thanks for taking the time to try and help me out... all the real PC
answers seem to be in the IBM tech ref series - but try and find them!
