Subject:      Visual Basic as a serious :-) environment

Hi, and thanks to Vince and Vance for your comments and recommendations!
I went to a friend who has VB and plays around with it. After a quick tour
of the interface, I came up with a few questions:

-Access to sound, animation, CD-ROMs?
-Suppress annoying system messages such as "File I/O Error", in order to
 replace them with more gracious burps?
-Access to all system resources, like a modem: we couldn't do it.
-What is the "Pro" part of VB Pro about? OLE?
-Database management? And I mean a fast and useable DB!
-Speedy loading and execution, seems it takes almost forever to initialize?
-Is there a way to get rid of that bulky VBRUN100.DLL?
-How much is it gonna cost me if I wanted all the extras needed to make
 an app professional looking? There is a new DLL add-on every week...
-Can I only dream of develop-(one or two 'p' ? It's late.)-ing in
 order to make at least a few parts of my project portable, say, to
 the Mac... I guess that is impossible with VB. How about C or Pascal?

I understand that both my friend and I are not familiar with VB, so the above
questions may be irrelevant. Any _constructive_ comments are welcome!
TIA

Subject:      question on designing reboot routine for Win 3.1
X-To:         win3-l%uicvm.BITNET@ricevm1.rice.edu

Folks,

	I have a question regarding the design of a REBOOT utility under
Windows, I'll appreciate your feedbak.

	REBOOT is easy to design when runninng in DOS or real-mode Windows
3.0, by simply jumping to F000:E50B ( or F000:FFF0, or FFFF:0000 which is
the same thing... ). Following this path, I designed two simple protected
-mode reboot routines to utilize DPMI services to jump to F000:E50B. I
used service 301H ( call Real mode procedure ), and I also tried service
306H ( get raw moode switch addresses ) to switch to realmode and jump to
F000:E50B.

	Both routines worked fine ( cold reboot immediately ), when I ran
Windows 3.1 in STANDARD mode. However, when I tried them under 386
enhanced mode, it does not work well. It will freeze the system up for
about 15-20 seconds before it reboot the system. I suspect it's because of
all the funky drivers Windows loads for 386 enhanced mode ( e.g. extended
BIOS, etc, check the [386Enh] section in system.ini ).

	Could somebody shed some light for me on this topic? Thanks.

regards,
   John Lin

Firstly, you installed the package, therefore no-one "stole" space !
Secondly, it is not "extraneous code" as most software has credit or "About"
screens of some type.  Lastly, it is not writing unwanted files to your disk
Please READ what previous respondents have written. The amount of time and
space consumed by these "added surprises " are absolutely miniscule !!
Laugh and have a giggle along with the rest of us "end-users"..  If it still
makes you unhappy, go see Mr gates & Microsoft.

Try SCRUTIL.COM (formerly called EGAUTIL.COM).  Seems to be Windows 3.1
compatible on our machines.  Available as scrutil.zip at ftp.cica.indiana.edu
(if memory serves me).

Jeff,

Yes, you can print to a file in Windows.  Under the Control Panel,
choose the Printers icon.  In the installed printers box, select the
name of the printer you eventually want to print the file to.  Choose
Configure.  In the Ports Box, select File as your port.  Then carry on
as usual.

After selecting a large block in Excel 4.0, you can "unselect" rows and
columns by moving to the lower Rt corner of the selected block and
select a cursor option (Normal will show a white +; to move the group of
cells, move the cursor up a little on the outside bottom rt cell and the
cursor will change to an arrow and allow you to move the selected cells;
to "unselect", the cursor will toggle to a black + between the normal
and "move" cursors).This cursor will allow you to change the block of
selected cells.

I hope this helps.

Greg,

I just got a copy of WINTACH, public domain windows video benchmarking from
Texas Instruments.  This is available on CICA (129.79.22.22
 cica.cica.indiana.edu) or WUARCHIVE (128.252.135.4   wuarchive.wustl.edu) in
 the win3/util
directory as 'wintach.zip'.  It seems very comprehensive and it is fun to watch
as well.  By the way, how did you manage to get an evalutation copy of
WINSPEED?

And in the resume which leads to a fatter paycheck in the revolving

desires, let me suggest a political career.  Of course, one may get
more recognition than desired.  Can you say "potatoe?"  :-)

Subject: Secret to running Win 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode
X-To:         WIN3-L%UICVM.BITNET@pucc.Princeton.EDU

Hello out there.

I recently purchased a 386DX-33 with 2 megs of ram that came with Win 3.0 and I
don't seem to be able to get it to work in the 386 enhanced mode.

It seems to come up in real mode if I just type "win" and will run in standard
mode if I type "win/s". But when I type "win/3", the logo screen appears,
disappears, the disk is accessed a lot, and finally I am left with a blank
screen. At this point the only thing I can do is reboot.

Any suggestions on what to look for, setup or change to use the enhanced mode?

Thanks,

I have a similar problem with two of my 386SX computeres at my office.

That's probably because of the limit of the 2meg ram constraint.

win/3 forces Windows to go into enhanced mode when it has detected
insufficient memory resources to do it automatically.

Subject:      More Win 3.1 Midi Questions

Hello, again.
Here's an alternative situation to my previous MIDI problem. I previously
asked if I could use the IBM PC Music Feature Card in Windows, and the
answer was, "no." I also have a Yamaha DX100 that I can connect through the
MIDI OUT port in my sound card. Can I configure Windows to utilize this
synthesizer, bypassing the Music Feature Card?
Again, thanx in advance...
