I don't know how it happened, but I have lost one of my Ami Pro style
sheets (weekly calendar).  When I call it up, I only get a blank screen.
Is there a way to recover that one style sheet short of reinstalling the
whole program?

I have a friend who is interested in putting together some
slide shows for teaching purposes.  The slide show that she
wants is really an interactive demonstration of a process in
which the interaction (say, with a mouse) changes the process,
or sets parameters of the process.  I thought that an authoring
tool of some kind would be the right thing, and a multi-media
version of such a thing would be really cool.

If you know of the names/vendors/etc for these things I would
greatly appreciate the information.  If you can describe some of
the capabilities of any of such applications, or have comments from
first hand experience with one of the beasts, your input would be
greatly, supremely, overwhelmingly appreciated.


Please email any info directly to me so that I don't have to scan the
reams of postings to the above three news groups. :-)  

Thanks in advance for your patience in reading this, and for stopping
to send the information that I need!

Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 12:59:44 GMT

Hello,
I would like to know which PostScript printer driver works the best. I want
equations (Equation Editor or MathType) to print properly and I want high
graphics quality. The graphics is mainly made in Designer or Charisma.
Everything is then used in Word for Windows and printed from there.

I have tried two different drivers, Microsoft v3.5 and Micrografx v2.6. With
Microsoft v3.5 the equations are OK (of course I had to go through the ususal
hack with the Fences and Extra fonts when installing Word for Windows), but
the graphics quality is not good enough. Dotted lines are not actually
dotted; they seem more like widely spaced dashed lines. With Micrografx
driver v2.6, dotted lines are better (but not perfect). However, I can't get
the equations right! They also look wrong on the screen. I have tried the
install hack here too without being successful. Equation Editor and MathType
keep telling me that there are missing fonts.

Are there newer/better PostScript drivers that can handle the above problem?
Also I think the pattern quality could be much better for both drivers. For
example: 10% gray looks very good on the screen but is a dotted area when
printed. I think my printer (QMS810) do print gray scales ;-).

Windows 		v3.1
Microsoft driver	v3.5
Micrografx driver	v2.6
Charisma		v2.1
Designer		v3.1
Word for Windows	v2.0a
MathType		v1.1a

Hi,

I'm looking for a Windows application that does FTP file transfers
with the Windows graphical interface rather than the DOS version.  
There is a similar program on the Mac called Fetch, or XferIt.  Is there
such a program out there for Windows?

Thank you,

If possible, please reply through E-mail.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me about a FTP site which might have the fix for the Ventura loading bug. (It takes about 10 Minutes on a 486 when there are all the CorelDraw fonts loaded)

I gather that there is a Ventura BBS, but I have no access to it.

Can "encrypted" macros in WinWord 2.0 be "decrypted"?

Microsoft says that such macros are not really encrypted or
compiled; they say that "the interface to the macro is cut off". 

How does one reverse this process? Thanks in advance.

According to its documentation, Word for Windows 2.0 allows you to ADD
a button to the toolbar. It seems though that you can only CHANGE the
function and/or icon of an existing button / [space].
Does anybody know if it is possible to really add a button to the toolbar?

 I have purchased a Boca Fax modem 14.4 and I've used it with  Procomm for DOS. The combination seems to work fine. However, if I try to use under windows 3.1 with ANY comm package, as soon as the program sends the reset (ATZ) string, the computer hangs up. I've tried just about every comm package the I can get my hands with, and the outcome is always the same.
	I have a Compaq 286 computer with 6Mb RAM running windows 3.1 in standard mode. Can anyone Help?

With WfW2 you get a TT font called MS LineDraw, this has the characters
for the linedraw characters (ASCII 176-223 & 248), but not anything else.
You'll have to write a simple macro to go thru the text, and change the
font of the ones mentioned above.

If the file WINLD.FON isn't on your hard disk, use DECOMP.EXE from
WfW's installation disk 1 to decompress the WINLD.FO$ file on
WfW's installation disk 3 to your hard disk, then install the font
using Control Panel/Fonts.

A full TT character set should be available from PC magazine's BBS,
called VID-TT.ZIP. Could some kind soul upload it to any FTP site?

I just started using it and it seems OK.  It has 2 basic modes: one that
uses a local window manager (fast) and one that use a remote one (I use
vtwm).  All I really wanted was to get multiple windows
across my serial line connection to work; X is overkill, but it works.

The one thing I can't do is get the middle mouse button to
work on my ATI GraphicsUltra mouse.  Turning off 'middle button emulation'
didn't fix it.  Any guesses?

I have 20 MB in my PC and have the same problem. As the original poster said,
the resource being used up is the GDI resource segment (a 64 kB area of 
memory which "includes handles to device contexts, brushes, pens, 
regions and bitmaps. GDI is an abbreviation for graphics 
device interface, which provides the internal tools that 
applications use to present information visually." as quoted from the MS
SYSMETER help file). Adding more ram will change nothing.

I run out of GDI resources with 2 workbooks open, each with 6 fairly highly
formatted spreadsheets in them <sigh>. MS's response is a warm commiseration
and a promise to improve it in the next version.

G`day there,

I just downloaded a demo program (OSFrame) in a file

It does not work! The help file says there should be two
versions of the executable - osframe.exe

One for windows 3.0 and one for windows 3.1

There is however, only one supplied in the zip file and
inspecting this with a hex editor indicates that the one
supplied is for windows 3.0

Does anyone have the correct file?

Could the person who posted the zip file - repost with the 
correct driver.


Many thanks

We just replaced an old PM2400SA (Practical Peripherals) external modem with
a Gateway2000 TelePath internal modem. The modem works great: sends faxes,
call BBS, but... The "but" is that we were unable to set it up for the main
intended application - email/news via UUPC. With the old modem we used the
script file HAYES24.MDM supplied with the software. TelePath is also supposedly
Hayes-compatible, so we modified this file by adding a line "InSpeed=9600" to
take advantage of the higher speed. No luck. Over the past 3 days the modem 
connected only twice, each time transferring just a few files (out of many)
and then stopping. Technical Support from Gateway2000, so far was not very
supportive.
Anybody who knows how to fix the problem, or thinks that he/she knows, please
contact me. I'll post the summary. Thanks,

The only thing I have done similar to this
on Sigma Plot was to get a surface of best fit -
then plot the resulting mesh.  I'm not sure
what algorithm was used as it was not important.

As SigmaPlot can used custom algorithms, I would ask
this question of sci.stats or a similar newsgroup -
or find one of your stats gurus.

The reason for this is I once had data from
different Powder X-ray Diffractometers using different
radiations.  While the data was collected using constant
2-theta steps, to be comparable it had to be converted to
d-spacings which made the data of non-uniform steps
(I don't know of any Powder X-ray diffractometer that will do
constant d-spacing scans).  For the type of matrix analysis
that was contemplated, each data set had to have the same
number of points of relatively similar values -
which lead to the idea of interpolating/smoothing
the in-between points etc.  Sort of similar to what you want
to done.  

The site statistician put a spanner in the works 
because he said interpolating points might have artificially
made peak shapes artificially more Gaussian or Lorentzian.
Because the analysis from this interpolated data could have
been suspect, it was safer not to do it - wimp out!!

I don't know what you are using this data for but
your local stats person would probably know the best
algorithm that can then be put into the "math"-"transform" part
of Sigma Plot 5.0 to give you your modified data.

Hope this helps?  Lachlan.

I haven't seen this one at my bookstore - they often run
out quickly (lots of geeks in my neighborhood.)  I'll look
again elsewhere tomorrow, but can you say whether they
did a comparison of features?  How far does the new Paradox
go to ease the gui-building aspect of database application
design?  THanks,
