Date: 8 Nov 92 20:09:27 GMT
Organization: BNR

I'm trying to get Windows NT to use my Logitec bus mouse but it doesn't seem
to want to install.  I have tried IRQ 2 and IRQ 5 with no luck.  The event
logger gives an error each time that I boot NT that basically says that it
is configured improperly.  Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem I'm having, except I never get a mouse cursor.  The july
release worked fine.

I have an '89 Gateway 386/20 w/8MB ram and 150MB disk.  I thought it was disk
space on the c: partition, but no such luck.  With 50MB to start out, it still
has about 1 meg free when it locks (with the 10MB temp. swap file).

Might it be BIOS shadowing?  Haven't tried that off.  Can't find my config
disks..

thanks.

I just posted lpr/lpq/lprm (/pub/pc/win3/uploads/lpr10.zip) on
ftp.cica.indiana.edu.  Source is included. It is an example of 
WinSock which several people have been asking questions about 
recently.

It also supports removing those ^D's at the beginning of NT's
PostScript documents. These tend to screw up my Laser Printer
anyway.

	I know that the offical MS WIN32 paper gives a list of
hardware that NT works with, but I was wondering if anybody out there
had NT drivers for the following Network Cards ?!  I have only one
EtherLinkII, and it is in popular demand around here (Mach and other
test machines).  So I need to find a different card and we have every
other one except the ones listed in the MS directory.  So does anybody
have a driver avail, or know if these cards talk/listen to other
driver software ?

Cabletron  E1000 Series.  (I believe we have the WIN16 LanMan drivers)

I've installed the October NT beta and have used it for several days
without incident.  I also installed the SDK.  All of a sudden last
night I booted NT and the system put out the message:

     Cannot load SDK group - do you want program manager
     to try to load it in the future?

(Or something very similar).

I replied yes to have the group loaded, but after several reboots it
still can't be loaded.  Has anyone had this problem, and is there a
way to fix it without reinstalling the SDK?

P.S. How are program groups named under NT?  I can't find any files
named xxx.grp on my hard disk or on the CD.

  Any idea why when you use a postscript printer device and you send it to a file
the first byte is ^D? I don't have a printer connected locally, but I use a printer
in the network. So I print in a file and then send the postscript file to the
printer. Unfortunately, sometimes I forget to remove the first ^D, and I print 1000
page of Postscript code. Any idea how to get rid of that ^D automatically? (Please
not a filter that I run. I have that already)
  Thanks in advance

Subject: October Beta: comments and questions
Date: 11 Nov 92 16:01:55 GMT
Distribution: na
Organization: Applix, Inc., Westboro, MA

I've gotten the October Beta installed on both x86 and Mips, and
have a few comments/questions.

1) Has anyone figured out a way to save the window size of TERMINAL
   between sessions? I hate resizing the default tiny window every time...
   Doing a save to a .TRM file doesn't seem to save this, and saving
   properties under Program Manager doesn't seem to help. Can this
   be saved in a .PIF file?

2) "RMDIR /S has been disabled in this release" - ARGGGGGGGHHH!!!!!
   I may keep the July release on disk just for this feature. Is
   there any other good way to recursively delete directories?

3) If you use TERMINAL in Telnet mode, and then type QUIT at the
   Telnet> prompt, it gets hung. Any workaround?

4) BACKUP still seems to be a piece of garbage. Unlike the July 
   release, in Beta it tells me it doesn't see a tape drive, even
   though the my tape drive is in the Registry info every time
   I boot. The July release saw my Wangtek 5525 SCSI drive OK. If
   anyone is happily using BACKUP with a SCSI 1/4" tape drive, please
   send me which host adapter and which tape drive transport model
   you have...Thanks (the hardware release notes suck on this topic
   since they only list DAT drives, not QIC). Yes, I tried this as
   both my user ID and as Administrator...

It seems to me that the problem is not with NT, but with WfW.
I seem to recall in Word for DOS running on a LAN that you could set
up each user with hiw own MW.INI file.  This definitely needs to be
addressed in WfW or WfNT (when it gets developed).  This problem is
one of the most aggrevating things about multiple users sharing an
inherently single-user system.

I am running the Oct. beta of NT on a TriStar 486/50Mhz/8MbRAM/340MbHD EISA bus system with a Diamand Stealth (S3) video card.  NT installed OK but I was __very__ disappointed with the performance of NT!!!  So much so that
I have switched back to WIN3.1 under DOS.

The setup of NT on my system, with very little DOC, took 1.5 days.  I am the
systems admin for our department with alot of experience in networking, OS's,
NOS's, and PC's.  NT is _not_ for the casual Windows user nor could it be installed by one.  NT seems to be geared towards networked office environments
where everyone, admins and endusers, knows the ins and outs of setting up a
workstation as though it were a file server.

Microsoft has gone to alot of trouble putting Lan Manager server features into
NT but at what cost to the endusers using NT.  For offices with 50+ users currently using the Windows environment, either 3.0 or 3.1, moving to NT will be a nightmare and won't happen overnight or overweekend.  Basic endusers will have
to become very familiar with what I think are intermediate to bordering on advanced features of managing a networked environment.  That learning curve could
be to steep and NT could fail as did OS/2 when it was under Microsoft.

Although the lure of a 32-bit, pre-emptive multitasking OS turned my head, after
actually seeing it in action I was not impressed.  Here are some of the problems:

-Screen redraws are very slow.
-Mouse tracking is very jumpy (ie. you can tell the system is very over burdend).
-Frequently run out of memory (although my swap file is 15Mb)
-NT<-->LM 2.1 not fully supported (cannot "see" the LM file servers)

If there is something I missed in the setup that would correct these problems
then I'll turn off my flame.  Otherwise I will caution my collegues against
what I thought was going to be a great OS...

The October beta of NT does not include support for the SoundBlaster

that Creative Lab's official position is that a driver will be released

I understand these two products have been available in a huge semi-public

supported public distribution be made available for general release?

Does anyone know the planned contents of the final public general release?

What is the mechanism for protection against piracy of the operating system?
End user honesty?  Serial numbers?  Cryptographic password authentication?
Online network authentication of unique installation identification?  Does
the system provide any support for protecting end user applications against
software piracy (license servers, cryptographic authentication, etc)?

What is the viability of the NT system for support real time high bandwidth
(several audio channel) laboratory data collection/process control systems?

I understand the application developer's kit is available via 800 telephone.
Is the device driver developer's kit also available via the same mechanism?

What kind of CD ROM should I add to my system to support Windows NT?  I have
a 386DX-33/387, 8MB/64K, 400MB, ATI Graphics Vantage||Prodesigner II ET-4000,
