Subject:      Program Manager Window

I am having a strange problem with the placement of the Program Manager
Window.  It insists on hugging the left side of the screen rather than
loading in the center of the screen.  If I try to grab it and move it
to the right, it jumps to the right side, preventing me from centering
it.  Anyone know what I should do to put it in the center of the
screen?

I've been hearing recently about a new version of PKLITE that will apparently
compress Windows programs as well as those programs without overlays.  Does
this really exist?  If so, where can I find it?

You probably need to look at the other parameters on your modem: What method
for negotiating baud -- or do you have it set for locked baud? What method
of flow control? What modulation? MNP-4, MNP-5, LAPM? Data compression?

These things seem to make a difference.

Regarding PKARC, PKXARC, the author stopped supporting them because of some
patent lawsuits, and that was at least 3 years ago.  There are a number of
un-arcing shareware utilities, and the smallest is ARCE, by Dave Buerg (of
LIST's fame).  There is also a couple of Windows un-archiving managers, which
I do not quite remember (WUNARC does NOT support ARC files).  I cannot help
you in locating them, because I am a BBS person just beginning to discover
FTP servers (I do not even know what to do after entering a server!).

Good luck.

I have a useful program from Artisoft called MOREWINDOWS.

This useful program lets you define your ordinary screen as a very big one. When
you are using the mouse, as it hits the edge, it 'pans' over the larger virtual
area.

Result - a big monitor on a small screen. It works fine in Windows 3.1 too.

Jeff,

I had the same problem with TrueType fonts when I first installed 3.1.  I am
not sure about W4W 2.0, since I don't use it, but in my case in turned out that
 the VGA drivers I had were not 3.1 complient.  As soon as I got new drivers
 fromthe board manufacturer, the TrueType fonts started showing up and worked
 fine.

I believe version 1.93a was a beta version released by PKWARE for testing
and benchmarking purposes only.  They said data damaging bugs could possibly
still exist in the beta version.  Version 2.0 is out now but they took it
commercial, so you shouldn't be able to find it as shareware.  I've seen
ads for version 2.0 in some of the trade mags, and I think they kept the
price the same, about $47.  BTW, there was a bogus version of PKZIP making
the rounds a while back as version 1.02.

Sorry Bruce, so would I.  That is why in my first posting I said there was
nothing to let you use two *equivalent* protocol stacks (I have been trying
to get Reflection/Network to co-exist with WinQVT/Net as well, without success)

You can only mix dissimilar protocols (TCP, UDP, IPX, etc).  Reflection and
WinQVT both use TCP/IP stacks and there is no way for the "hack" to know what
packet goes where.  There may be some way to fake this using two separate IP
addresses, but then ARP gets screwed up (two IPs responding with same hardware
address).

Subject:      Re: Printing EXCEL 4.0 spreadsheets on HP LJ II

Increasing the amount of RAM inside the printer would definitely
improve performance, especially if you have charts or any graphics
thrown into it.  Making optimization changes to your system with
DOS 5 (if not already done) should also help a little.  Make sure
you have loaded as many things into the High Memory area as you
can (if you're not trying to use expanded memory) w/emm386.exe noems
Another item to look for is the TEMP variable, make sure you have
the actual directory created on your drive.  If this doesn't exist
it can slow down the system tremendously.  If the hard disk is
heavily fragmented this can also slow it down.  Also make sure
the file is on the hard disk.. some files from floppy are read
numerous amounts of times and the floppy drive is just one more
kludge to go through.  If this doesn't help, you may need to
create a permanent swap file in the control panel (virtual memory)

Subject:      Looking for a WINDOWS speaker

WINDOWS USERS:

     The 3rd. Computer System Engineering Week (SISC92) is an
annual symposium consisting of 16 conferences and 4 tutorials. It
will take place during the last week of september: from the 21 to
25 of september, 1992.

     The annual SISC92 will take place at the Enrique de Osso
auditorium, located at the northside of Guadalajara; the auditorium
can shelter 1000 persons; it has all the necessary facilities for
the realization of this kind of events.

     The estimated audience for SISC92 is about 400 persons. Among
them are expected to be mostly students, but there will be teachers
from the major Universities of Mexico, as well as businessmen from
the region. All of them related with computers, in some sort. We
are trying to show to the audience some new advances in computers
today, and also we want to show them new topics which are not
widely known.

     Each conference will last 1.5 hours, plus a 15 minutes
question-answers session, and a 10 minutes coffee break. We will
provide a simoultaneous translating system for the audience in
those cases where the spokesman does not speak spanish.


     We are looking for a WINDOWS conference, if your are iterested
please contact us as soonest you can.

     Due to the lack of sponsors, we offer you only the following:

          - Round trip from your staying place.
          - Local transportation in the city.
          - Hosting at a first class hotel, for the time you need
            during the event.
          - A personal guide to show you the city in case you need
            one.


                  Sincerely yours,
                                        Jose Manuel Rodarte-Mendez.

Hi, everybody:

I have a problem with Windows 3.1 that I hope someone can help me with.

I tried running "Elana.exe", which is a program that is supposed to change the
 opening window for Windows 3.0.  I figured it would work on Windows 3.1, but
 that's not the case.  In fact, my system locks up whenever I try to run
 Windows.

I've determined that the problem is not in the autoexec.bat nor in config.sys,
 so I'm thinking it must have modified one of the Windows files -- but which
 one?

Anyhow, if anybody has any ideas about this, I'd really like to hear them.

Thanks,

Mark McClure

Does anyone know of a FTP site that is holding copies or the Windows
'WINDOWS ONLINE NEWSLETTER'

It is produced by Frank Mahoney from Danville CA and has so intresting
articales in it. I have obtained a copy from HENSA at Lancs.uk but they
so far only have copyies of issue 39, 40, & 43 which all date back to
May and they say that the Online letter is produced weekly.

It covers shareware and major reviews plus programing help and tips on
using windows.

EG Pressing the ESC and ALT key together when a window is at full screen
will bring all the ICONED programs to the top.

Subject:      Re: Printing to FILE:

While we're on the topic of Excel 4.0 - - I have a question:

We have a Novell Server 3.11(386) running Windows 3.1 and Excel
4.0 to our workstations.  Recently a student was trying to print
a very simple Excel chart and repeatedly received an out of
memory error.  Unfortunately we couldn't reproduce this situation
on the administration machines nearby NOT calling 3.1/Excel 4.0
from a network.  Is there any "known" problem with 3.1 running
in Standard Mode and not printing correctly with Excel?

That brings us to my next question...  Is there something we
might have missed during the Windows installation that would
cause the workstations to only be able to launch windows
in Standard Mode?  We have called Microsoft on the problem, we
printing our .ini's and other critical files and they are
stumped.

Back to the first paragraph:
The student was able to print to the printer just minutes before
it started to fail, with another more complicated SHEET, not
a chart... that's why we're pulling hair here.  We managed to
get a glimpse of the problem in action (the print manager would
come up and then stop the job).  I deleted the unsuccessful
jobs and then closed print manager and began to reprint, but
got the same results.  I believe the drive had plenty of disk
space left for spooling, so I am waiting for the HIGHER powers
of knowledge to enlighten me and our group.
