This is a shot in the dark. Has anyone seen/experienced spreadsheet software
which can dynamically read/write database fields?   I don't mean
importing/exporting but, rather, being able to designate some spreadsheet
cells to hold database fields (presumably this could happen via DDE).

Subject:      Evaluating Software

Hi,

I am in a Dilema, I like Borland Products/Services more that Microsoft
ones, that makes me little partial about evaluating products, so I'd
like to hear from you users about what to do:

I Relational Databases

I intend to use a RDBMS to develop DB applications for Windows. What should
I get Access or shall I wait for Paradox for Windows. Can someone tell me
about mayor features about these two ?

II Spreadsheets

Which is the best Excel 4.0 or Quattro Pro for Windows? Why do you think so ?

III Visual programing

The contest is between Visual Basic and Object Vision Pro. What is your
favorite ?


I have DR-DOS, MS-Windows, Borland C++ and will get MS-Word for Windows
soon if this matters.


If you like, you can contact me privately to save bandwidth at
a16905@ITESO on BITNET and at a16905@itesocci.gdl.iteso.mx on the Internet.

Thanks for your help.

Shalom,
Memo.

Subject:      Re: WINA20.386 for Enhanced - Problems!!

When using DOS 5.0 and WINDOWS 3.0 you need to have the file WINA20.386
in the root directory (WINA20.386 is automatically installed with DOS
5.0, if you still can't find it expand yourself from one of the original
DOS diskettes). It is also possible to place this file in another
subdirectory other than root by adding the line SWITCHES= /X ti your
CONFIG.SYSand the line DEVICE=(path)WINA20.386 in the 386Enh section of
your SYSTEM.INI.
If you are using WINDOWS 3.1, you don't need WINA20.386 anymore! To
check if you are really in Enhanced Mode go to the HELP menu item of the
Program Manager and select About.

    I met with an interesting problem. I have to create a timer to wake one of
  functions up in every 1 ms. But. It seems, that windows can launch a timerproc
  only in every 50-60 milliseconds. For instance when I asked for a 2 ms timer,
  than it calls the callback function after 50, 100, 150, 200, ... milliseconds.

Use the multimedia timer.  It has a resolution (on most machines) of 1
ms.  It is a hardware interrupt, not a message.  The standard timer
will skip events if the system gets busy.

Subject:      Reprogramming the Windows keyboard

I would like to use the 'US-International' keyboard in W4W as this allows easy
access to all accented characters, but, being a Brit, I also would like to keep
the British keyboard layout. i.e. the English pound sign with Shift 3.
Unfortunatly with US-International I get a hash. The question is does anyone
know of a way of telling Windows that if I press Shift 3 I get a pound sign and
not a hash. I know I can press Alt 0163 but that is not the answer!

Thanks, Dennis

Hi there,

I've got a quick question...

I'm writing a dialog window procedure where the user is supposed to change a
certain color by clicking on 3 scrollbars... ID_SB_RED,ID_SB_GREEN,ID_SB_BLUE.
Theses are the colors that combined with the RGB macro give me the actual color.
Now my problem is that I can't figure out which scrollbar sends me which message
   ...(I've tried to get that from the lParam of the message WM_VSCROLL... lPara
   m
is supposed to have in the hiword the ID for the scrollbar... no good...)

Anybody has a suggestion?

Thanks,Nick.

Unfortunately, "may have been changed" doesn't help that much; I asked the

Atlanta last week: he said others had seen the article containing the rumors
but no one at Microsoft new anything about a maintenance upgrade. Just for

It is a parameter you setup in AUTOEXEC.BAT.  Place the line

As further comment about Windows in 256 colours, I found that some times
a 256 colour wallpaper and a differently mapped 256 colour picture could
be displayed correctly! This was using a Trident 8900c card with 1Mb.

Unfortunately I have been unable to repeat this on an Orchid Pro Designer/e

I have experienced the same problems.  However, only while using shareware
stuff that I've downloaded.  I asked someone about it and he told me that some
programs are just written poorly and do not return the resources.  The only
cure is to close down windows and reboot (says he).  I hope you find a better
answer, but if you don't, just check your resources often.  There are some
resource icons avaialable that sit down on your minimized section that tell you
how much resources are avaiable.  (I got one from America On-Line, but I'm sure
they're avaiable elsewhere.)

That's what environment variables are for.  Use SET INITIALS=JDS from DOS, etc.
  You then access Env. Variables by surrounding them w/ %'s i.e. %INITIALS%.

Subject:      the POP3 Server and Windows

I believe that POP3 is one server used by the UNIX services NFS (Network File
 System) and NIS (Network Information Service).  We are using PCNFS (a Sun
 Microsystems product)with Windows in a networked environment.

The problem is the PCNFS Mail program (Lifeline Mail 2.0) is perfectly lousy,
 full of bugs and eminently user-unfriendly.  Also it can only be run in
 full-screen mode.

Is there a better yet compatible program out there for Windows 3.x?

Can anyone attest to its compatability with NFS, NIS, and the SUN O.S.4.1.3?


Your replies are greatly appreciated.

I need to compile my windows program using the large memory model
and it crashes before the constructors of any of my objects.  Any clues?

Here's a big explanation:
Every app running maintains its own color palette (if it wants to), which
contains an unlimited amount of colors.  As the app logs the palette entries,
the system palette fills up, and the last few are "collapsed", i.e. mapped onto
the most similar color already on the system palette.
When you switch to the GIF viewer, it loads its palette to the system, forcing
the other apps to collapse theirs.  This causes a minor degradation in color
quality, but is the best way to deal with 8 bits I've seen.  If you want to be
pukealized, watch an Iris Indigo... 8-(

If you buy the MS Windows Sound System you get more sound events.  I think you
should get one anyway, but if you don't want to, just "acquire" the SOUND.CPL
file from someone who has.
