Subject: Re: MS Windows, DEC Pathworks, and the DOS Environment

Having one disk is ok but you will have more trouble with licencing.  Most
packages keep track on their own but it is always nice to use Pathworks Limit
of users for each disk. If the application doesn't keep track of licences then
you wouldn't have any idea of how many people are using each application.  This
is a somewhat of a similar problem to what we have.  We are thinking of using
windows 3.1 across the network but haven't come up with a solution for the legal
way of maintaining licences of applications which are attached but not in use.
ie. The user has connected to the word perfect disk but has it shrunk to an icon
for faster access.  He isn't really using it but how do we know from a network
administrator's position.  We can't afford to buy each application for every
user.  So our position has been that the user's will have to wait for windows a
little longer until we come up with a fix to this problem

I just got back from hols last night and a friend had sent me a virus alert
dated July-8-92 concerning trojan versions of PKZIP.

Apparently the programs to avoid are:
 PKZ201.ZIP
 PKZ201.EXE
 PKZIPV2.ZIP
 PKZIPV2.EXE

The note also said that there would be no official version 2.01 or 2.2 due
to this.

NB There are a couple of signatures in the note but I have not verified
its veracity as yet. As soon as I do I'll forward a copy to the list.

Does any one have some experience with the W4W bookmarks ?
If one needs more than 450 bookmarks to build a cross reference
in a large document can one split the document ?
It's a hell of a work to test this out on a very large doc,
so any comments are wellcome because I'm afraid splitting the

Thanks for all possible suggestions!

WinQVT/Net requires a packet driver (first) and its supplied protected mode
interface PKTINT.  This works OK by itself, unless you have other goings-on
with the network...

Much to my chagrin and repeated efforts to achieve otherwise, you cannot have
two duplicate protocol stacks at the same time, regardless.

If you are using PC/NFS or IPX or other non-TCP/IP specific stack, you can
use PKTMUX to run multiple protocols on one card.

If your other protocols are running on an NDIS-compliant driver, you can
use DIS_PKT to wedge a pseudo-packet-driver into the NDIS stack.

Otherwise, I have not been able to get two similar stacks to run on a single
adapter.  Period.  I would *love* to be proven wrong on that one though!

Being in the UK I have just downloaded it from SRC.DOC.IC.AC.UK (PKTMUX11.EXE

Have you tried using archie to find things ?
The UK server is ARCHIE.DOC.IC.AC.UK (146.169.11.3).

There seems to be some confusion about the "compatibility" of winqvt/net
and PC-NFS (sun). There is no such issue as compatibility. Winqvt/net
could not be used properly with PC-NFS because PC-NFS was not allowing
the use of the ethernet card by the packet driver (simplified explanation)
PC-NFS 3.5 provided some more or less workable version of a (pseudo?)
packet driver (pktd.sys) that could live together with winqvt/net. From
version 4.0 on things seem to be fixed for a full support of the two
"applications".
Correct me if I'm wrong !

Don't you find it interesting that the only responses to the orginal question
from the UK were from Europe.  Prejudice on the site of U.S. users?  I am
based in Germany myself, but I respond to question regardless of the sender's
locality.  It is especially difficult to get info over here, without access
to those great 800 numbers in the States.  So please, if you have an answer
to someones problem, don't respond with, 'Well why don't you call 800....'.
Those of us in Europe, or other places outside of the U.S. cannot.  While
some software houses, like Microsoft, have offices over here, tech support is
usually not free, nor is the call.  Also, when you a have a foreign language
version of the documentation, sometimes the manuals are not exactly the same
as the U.S. version.  I have even seen errors introduced into manuals that
where translated from one language to another.  My apoligies for the grumbling,
send all Flames to me directly.

I assume that AddStor is a product that compresses a hard disk into a
virtual hard disk.  If this is true, you must use SmartDrv to cache the
uncompressed drive where the virtual drive is stored (probably drive C).
This will automatically cache the virtual drive as well.

The biggest shortcoming of NeXt (now don't laugh) is its lack of color
display capability.  I don't know if they've fixed that yet.  (I haven't
seen any recent stuff from NeXt in quite a long while.)  But something
as simple as that seems to be so important to so many people that they
discount all the great stuff that *is* there.

Fickle public, I guess...

Sorry to raise your hopes.  I don't have an answer for this one.  I emailing
to find out if you received my previous message.  I've got serious problems
with the system here.

I'm searching Win3.1 display drivers for the Diamond SpeedStar Hi-Color.
The chipset is a TSeng ET4000 and it has 1MB RAM and can display 32K colors.

Could please anyone post them (uuencoded) into this group?

Many thanks to all !!!

Subject:      File manager associations

Does anybody know how to associate an application with a filename that has
no extension?

I use win31 file manager to access a UNIX disk (via NFS) and most
files don't use extensions.

Also is there any windows editors that can read UNIX files?
i.e. get rid of the CRLF. I have DOS utilities that can convert
between the two formats but it would be nice to be able to edit the
 files in windows without using these.

Any help greatly appreciated.

  Yes. You may not be reaching the USA, but you made it to Austria.
