As I understand it, this SYSTEM.INI statement informs Windows to
use whatever mouse driver was loaded under DOS for any windowed
DOS app.  I don't think the version number, or even the type of
driver, is all that important. I've used it with plain old
MOUSE.COM as well as the Logitech driver, and yes, the Z-NIX
driver, too.

Memory's a bit fuzzy, but I think I did the same under Win 3.0.
Hard to remember 3.0 now.  :-)

Subject:      Re: Start-Up Group booboo

Rich,

The Startup group is simply a place, as the name itself implies, for one to
place selected apps for automatic startup upon entry to Win3.1 environment.
It replaces some of the shareware utilities that performed the same task and
saves you time.  For instance, I keep the FileManager, Clock, and my Fax apps'
icons in the Startup window so they all come up running when the Win startup
sequence completes.  It saves me the trouble of going to each group window and
individually starting the apps.

As to why you need it, you don't really need it.  As you are aware, Win will
start up just fine without it.  It is just a convenience for the harried user
who has better things to do with his time than fire up four or five favorite
apps every time he starts Windows.  Of course this 'labor-saving device' is
like any other, it doesn't truly save me labor at all, it just gives me the
opportunity to clog that time with something else, sigh... wink wink ;-)

Bonne Chance Mon Ami!

A TRS is the name of the first Tandy Systems. What you probably meant is a TSR,
which stands for *T*erminate and *S*tay *R*esident.  This means that when you
run this program and get back to the DOS prompt a part of this app stays in
memory.  This is useful for Personal Information managers, which want to appear
in top of whatever you are working on, or disk caches and virus programs, that
intercept disk I/O while you work.

I got a copy with it but i have problems with it. It is UUcoded and also
packed in UNIX (cpp_criticue.ps.z). My uudecoder doesn't seem to find the 
EOF even if i edit the filename. And the worst problem is that i lost the 
address of the person who sent it. Could that person pack it with PKZIP and
uuencode it in DOS and then send us the result. Thanks!

Subject:      TT Fonts Included with Win3.1

Greetings!

My girlfriend recently purchased a Gateway 2000 486sx with Windows 3.1 and MS
Office (includes MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint for Windows)
preinstalled.  As we were setting up her HP Laserjet II under Word, I noticed
that she had a lot more TrueType fonts on her system than I do on my machine
at work.  The only TrueType fonts that I have on my machine are Arial, Courier
New, Symbol, Times New Roman, and Wingdings.  Her machine, however, has all of
these plus some Bookman fonts, Monotype fonts, Fences, Century Schoolbook, and
others (I think) that I'm forgetting right now.  Did these extra fonts come
with MS Office, perhaps, or is the Windows 3.1 that I installed on my machine
at work somehow incomplete?  Where did these extra fonts come from?

  After getting
  Petzolt's "Programming Windows 3.1" and decided to use pure C model that
  he shows.
  I haven't got any of those books about C++ programming for Windows and all
  I did with C++ objects were just my experiments.
     I'd like to know your opinions about C++ and C programming for Windows.

We have been doing a lot of work with the Microsoft's MFC C++ classes.
They make the task of creating a Windows program much easier.  You are
way ahead if you already know the standard Windows C interface.  Most
of the member functions of the C++ classes have the same names and
work a lot like functions you already know and love.

We have found a few bugs in the system, but it is high in quality for
a first release.  I commend Microsoft for having included the source
code to almost all of the class library.  That has come in handy.  The
documentation is not as error free as I would like it to be.  I have
found a number of errors.

Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

Hi!! and Happy New Year to all of you!!

I have come up with a very strange problem.  Most of the time I use
wallpaper as the background for my desktop, however, I got bored and
decided to change it.  Since I have not used the pattern option (it was set
to (None)) for many moons, I decided that it would be a nice change.  When
I went to set it, there are _NO_ patterns although there are name for them
present, i.e., Boxes, Critters, Paisley.  When I try to edit the pattern,
there is no cursor and the pattern is black.

Is this a problem with me deleteing "un-needed" files in the windows
directory or could it be the utilities I have installed?  I have the
follwing setup:
        Windows 3.1, DOS 5.0
        PlugIn 1.12 program manager enhancement
        More Control 1.1 control panel enhancement
        WinFileX 1.15 file manager extender

        RealTek RTVGA/256 color (640x480, 512k) display driver
        386DX-40 w/4 MEG memory

Does the Patterns for the desktop have a file?

Thanks to all!!

As I said, I sent a letter to Tom Cervenka (the WIN3-L organizer)
about this problem (BTW, I too have noticed some duplicate mailings,
besides the bounced mail from OKWAY or whatever it is). I got a
rather terse, and less than helpful reply: "I haven't any idea what's
going on." (!)

What now?  I'm thinking of mailing to the Postmaster at OKWAY (or
whatever), but I'm a bit chagrined about this.  I mean, it shouldn't
be MY job!

More to follow on this, I'm sure!

I was just wondering if what Bin was specifically looking for was
call-waiting protection and if so should maybe contact his telephone
company with regards to the code which will temporarily turn of call-
waiting.  If this is the call-waiting protection which I believe you
are asking for, some phone companies will allow you to press for
example *72 to turn off call waiting.  Call waiting is returned when
you disconnect.

        To give you the short answer, yes.  The ability to use the mouse
in a windowed dos app is one of the features of 3.1 that microsoft brags
about.

Subject:      Speeding up Network disk access.

 We are running a rather old MS-derivative LAN here:
    network.drv=3Com 3+Open (versions 1.X)
 Our computer center set it up, so I have little access to technical
information.
 Disk access to the network drives is extremely sluggish. So much so
that apps which read lots of files (such as TeX processors and
previewers, which have to access lots of font files) suffer a dramatic
performance reduction.
 This problem applies to both Windows applications, and DOS apps
running in boxes. It seems that the faster (486) machines are less
affected, and I wonder if they are re-trying at shorter intervals, or
something.
 Any hints on speeding this up?

Subject:      DLL, Global variable, Library developement.

Hello,

    I am porting a C program to Windows.

    The first problem I have is to use global variable
with DLL.

    Second ; With the BC31 I make a .lib file to import
function definitions, (the IMPORT section of the .DEF files
doesn't work to declare functions). Then I have a
chicken-egg problem : to construct the library I need
to compile, for that I need the library of another
module who need itself the library I construct.

Any help for these two problems would be very appreciate.
