Don and Michael,

     This may not be exactly what you have in mind or adequately timely
(I don't always get to read this account daily ...) but ...

     Have you considered the preferred option of graphic designers
working with logos electronically world-wide?  That is, have you
considered creating a font that includes (perhaps exclusively) your
logo?  You would be able to include the logo as a typographic
reference and would have the added advantage of not having to work
with graphics blocks.

     If you want help with this (or want me to do it ...) send me
private e-mail.  I do this sort of thing semi-professionally.
I suggest using the second address below since I read e-mail on
that account at least daily.

A friend of mine had a similar problem with a Logitech cordless.  What happens
is that  at startup the mouse driver inits, and if it gets any movement command
it thinks the mouse has gone south and disables it.  The solution is to keep
your fingers off the mouse until your see the program manager onscreen.  You
can also try upgrading any driver you have.  This solves almost anything.

Hi

A colleague of mine has upgraded his version of PCTools from 7.1 to 8 and 
says that the version of CPBackup for Windows has not been changed. As the 
major reason he bought the package was to do timed backups whilst in Windows 
he is a little disappointed. Should this be the case or is there an upgrade 
of CPBackup for windows available separately?

Thanks

Subject:      WEBNT255 with Win3.1 enhanced

I got WEBNT255 from the MSDOS archives. It is a Peer-to-Peer network for 2 PCs
 running over
an RS-232 Link. The documentation reveals that it will work with Windows 3.0 in
 enhanced mode
if the communications port which WEBNT is using is "Killed". I followed the
 instructions as best
I could but was unable to get the link up between my 486 on an old PC when
 running the 486 in
Win 3.1 enhanced.

I was able to get the link established when running the 486 in STANDARD mode.
 The drive showing the
PC end of the link showed up just fine and I was able to use the files on the
 PC. Likewise the
PC was able to use the files on the 486 under DOS only.

Has anyone learned the magical incantations to get WEBNT255 to run enhanced mode
 under Win 3.1 ?

Before you try that, go to your CMOS setup and turn off parity checking.
I had the _exact_ same problem, and it seemed to cure it all.

    Subject:       Windows 3.1 Problem
    To:            C.W. Leong


    I have a problem setting up a temporary swap file in Windows 3.1.
    While running Quatro Pro for Windows, I filled the swap file during a
    sort.  The orginal size for the swap file was 11.7 Meg.  After the swap
    file was filled up, Windows ground to a slow crawl.

    After exiting QPW, I tried to bump up the swap file size to 20 Meg.
    However, I was given a message stating Windows wouldn't use a temporary
    swap file larger than the original 11.7 Meg (which was its recommended
    file size).  When I tried to change to a permanent swap file, Windows
    told me I could only allocate 8 Meg of space.

    What's the scoop?  I thought you could set up a swap file to any size
    you wanted, as long as the disk had the space.  Here's my system
    configuration:

         Intel 486DX 33 MHz Processor with 256K Cache
         4 Meg of System Memory
         Maxtor 120 Meg Hard Drive
         DOS 5.0
         Windows 3.1 with alot of Windows applications
         SuperStor 2.0 disk compression software

         Because of SuperStor, the hard drive is partitioned into two
         drives - C: and D:, with C: being the compressed drive.  The D:
         drive is allocated with 50 Meg of uncompressed space, and is where
         the Windows temporary swap file is allocated.  At the time of my
         problem, I had 29.3 Meg of space free on drive D: (Not counting
         the swap file).

    If you have any info, please let me know.  Thanks...

Under the control panel choose the fonts icon.  From the list double
click on the font that you wish to see displayed.  If you want to
view that font before selecting click on it once.  You can download
other screen fonts from ftp sites, if you are not satisfied with the
selection that Windows offers.   When you are through making your
selection close the font window.  Your new font will not take effect
until you restart windows.

      I am porting a C program to Windows.

      The first problem I have is to use global variable
  with DLL.

If you mean a global variable inside the DLL (which the calling
program cannot see) there is one trick you will need.  The variables
must be declared as FAR because the DS points to the application's
data, not the DLL's data.  You can force this by compiling the DLL for
large model.

      Second ; With the BC31 I make a .lib file to import
  function definitions, (the IMPORT section of the .DEF files
  doesn't work to declare functions). Then I have a
  chicken-egg problem : to construct the library I need
  to compile, for that I need the library of another
  module who need itself the library I construct.

The utility implib will create a .lib file from a .def file.  This
comes with the Microsoft compiler.  I would hope you get it with BC31.

  I have a user who is reporting a problem with Windows' Applets printing too
 many
  copies of a document.  Write shows 1 in the Number of Copies box, but prints 5
  copies.  Notepad prints more that that so the problem is not consistent.
 Anyone
  have any ideas of what to check?  Thanks in advance.

Bring up the printer setup in the control panel.  It may mean that the
user has multiple copies selected on the printer setup.  It could also
mean that the user has incorrectly set up the printer.  Maybe the
wrong amount of RAM or the wrong model, etc.  Also check Print Manager
(if you use it).  If the printer is local to the machine you should
use Print Manager.  If it is over a network, you should not use Print
Manager.  Normally Windows is smart enough to do the right thing
automatically.  If it is over a network check the network setup files
to see if any suspicious settings are being made.  Good luck!

Hello,

I've recently purchased a 486 PC. It came equipped with a Tseng ET-
4000-based local bus video card. This video card couldn't do better
than provide a 60 MHz refresh rate and thus produced a fuzzy image in
1024*786 mode. It was also incompatible with Civilization.

To get rid of these problems I replaced the card with a Diamond
Speedstar 24X. It allows a 72Hz refresh rate, and the picture on my
monitor looks great. I'm less enthousiastic about the Windows 3.1
drivers however.

1) When using Word for Windows (either 2.0a or 2.0c), opening the
Tools Options dialog box will cause an UAE.

2) The DOS window isn't properly updated. When I use a black-and-
white editor to scroll through a file containing blank lines, some
parts of the display get corrupted. This isn't a problem in the
editor - it happens with every DOS program. If a background color is
used, the problem doesn't seem to occur. Pressing Alt-Enter twice
restores the display.

I'm using the 1024*768 driver with 256 colors. The same problems
occur on my system when using the 640*480 and 800*600 drivers with
256 colors. My SpeedStar has BIOS version 2.03, and I'm using the
version 2.02 drivers (the latest as I'm writing this.)

Can anyone reproduce these problems?

Subject:      Xtradrv |||

Hi,

I friend of mine recently installed Xtradrv on his pc. After the installation
he changed his config.sys to load the Xtradrv-drivers into high memory.
This didn't work out right and the PC halted during config.sys. He had no copy
of his config.sys, thus he was not able to boot from a floppy with the
Xtradrv-drivers in config.sys. Alterantively he booted with a dos diskette.

So far everthing worked out just fine |

As he could not access the c-drive by booting from drive a: he formatted his
harddisk to clean out Xtradrv. After doing so he could start from scratch with
an empty harddisk. The only problem is that Xtradrv has put some information
in the boot-sector that he was unable to remove. Xtradrv includes a program
that removes Xtradrv from the harddisk, but this didn't work. An error occurs
when running this program: Error in Xtradrv Global Bootsector (or something ||)
When he boots his machine he gets an error message :
 Bad or missing Xtradrv Boot Sector

I advised him not to low-level format his harddisk as this would "ruin" his
IDE disk. None of the programs from Xtradrv was able to remove the error.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem ?

Thanks in advance |

Does anyone know if the Windows NT drivers for the ATI VGA Wonder are
available (or in beta) yet?  If so where might I find these?

Thanks!!
