Also, note that the default key for MEMORIZING a transaction is CTRL-M

you're also making a MEMORIZE entry for it....

Hi,

Many people place messages in these conferences to complain about the
service they have received from a company, but I am writing today to
thank Microsoft for their excellent service and the personal attention
I received while getting hold of the Word for Windows 2.0b release.

In mid-October I placed a message in this conference asking if anyone
had any experience in getting hold of the 2.0b release in Canada. That
day I received e-mail directly from Microsoft (thanks Blake) advising
me that my question had been passed on to the Word for Windows product
manager for Canada. The very next day I received a call from the
product manager (thanks Jeff) who filled me in about the availablity
of the disks.

It took a couple of weeks, but I did received the 2.0b disks via
Purolator. During that period my calls to Microsoft Canada were always
promptly returned and reasonable, forthright, explanations for any
delays were offered.

Thanks for treating me well, I appreciate it!

Regards,

Danny

The mac version of word saves its pictures in rtf files using the PICT
format. The windows version saves its pictures in rtf files using the
TIFF format. So, while text will go actoss fine, grahpics will not.
The way to transfer both text and graphics from Mac word to W4W is to
use MacWord 5.0 to save the file as a w4w file. MacWord 5.0 will read
W4W files in native format. 

Note that this translation is also not 100% fool proof. I have had a
case where the graphic did not transfer...

It is terrible netiquette to barge in when you haven't followed the previous
content of a thread and so I apologize in advance, however I felt obliged
to correct this misconception.

WFW most certainly does use NDIS and as such supports multiple protocol
stacks on the same card.  In fact it comes with two stacks (NetBEUI and
IPX) which run concurrently when you choose NetWare support.  I have
successfully used Microsoft's TCP/IP stack with WFW and I strongly
suspect that QVT/NET could be persuaded to work with the NDIS packet
driver shim.

Opps, lost the attribution for this entirely:

This I'm afraid is patently false.

"Windows Sockets"  This is a middleware standard that defines a binary
interface to which application programs can be developed and that can
be provided by any TCP/IP vendor.  It is basically Berkeley sockets with
a few extensions to facilitate Windows.  It was hashed out by representatives
from pretty much every company involved in TCP/IP on PC platforms.  The spec
is designed for both Win16 and Win32.  For Win16 the implementation must
be provided by a third party (and the likely suspect are mostly doing so now.)
With Win32 on Windows NT it is included as part of the base OS.  (Because TCP
is on the the protocols included with the base OS.)  You can pick up a complete
copy of the spec from the Microsoft directory on UUNET.

Dear netters,
a little while ago there was a discussion about how to cheat
Winmine. It was said to press XYZZY<Enter><Shift-Enter>.

It does not work on my system (Win 3.1, Winmine 3.1). WINMINE.EXE
contains the string XYZZY, but if i type it in, i don't see any
effect. How does it work?

When do i have to type it in? Do i have to use capitals? Is
<Enter><Shift-Enter> the right way to finish the sequence? What will
change in the display if the mouse is on a bomb?

Thanx in advance,

I imported a MAC-Word rtf file into Word for Windows v2.0. When I scrolled
through the text I saw several ``diagrams''. After changing the font (from
Palatino to Times New Roman) and printing the document two things happened:

o firstly, all those ``diagrams'' had disappeared---they are merely text
  with boxes around them so I dont see why W4W should drop them
  
o secondly, there were some \macpict groups in the rtf but there never made
  it in the document at all
  
Any one know how I can import this document so that I dont loose the text
diagrams and secondly how to get the \macpict obeyed?

[I find it ironic that the document is one of the SEI's technical reports
on the Capability Maturity Model. :-)]

PS W4W is on the office system. News is on the home system so I wont be
able to try anything out until Monday now.

The following method works well, but it is a bit cumbersome:

1) Create two separate tables, one below the other, with one column each
and the appropriate number of rows (two and three respectively for the
example given)

2) Use Table Row Height to set the row heights such that the two tables
are the same height (select the option 'Exactly' so that these height do
not change when you type in text). In the example given you would set
the row height of the first table to, say, six lines and that of the
second to four lines.

3) Place a section break below the second table

4) Format the section as two columns with zero space between

5) By judicious use of the Table Column Width command, you should be
able to get rid of the annoying gap which will appear between the two
tables, making them appear as one.

Hope this is of some use...

Subject: STACKER 2.0 and PERMANENT SWAP FILE

I finally got crunched with hard drive space (my 130MB was packed to the gills,
and that was AFTER deleting and backup of unnecessary files), so I got out
my copy of STACKER that I was given for Xmas last year.  Anyway, I left a
20MB unstacked partition to potentially run windows from, and run the apps
from the stacked partition.  I haven't seen any serious degredation in
performance (and in some cases an INCREASE) so I don't think that I really
need to move windows into the unpartitioned space.

I am debating whether or not to reestablish my permanent swapfile on the
unpartitioned drive, but need some expert advice from those of you who are
in similar situations.

My system:

   386/33 with 8MB RAM
   130MB Seagate 14ms Hard Drive
     - 25MB Standard partition
     - 105MB Stacked (2:1 compression, 210MB stacked drive)
   1MB Trident SVGA card
   QEMM386 v6.0
   Stacker 2.0
   2046K Disk Cache (1024K in DOS)

Is it worth placing a swapfile on the unused partition, or should I extend the
stacked portion of the disk and get another 30 MB or so of HD space?

Also, my version of Stacker is pre-QEMM 6.0, so it only includes OPTIMIZE
instructions for versions 5.x.  Optimize for 6.0 does not work, and the
instructions for 5.x are not accurate.  Any input on how to go about
optimizing v6.0?

I'd be interested to see AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files from those
of you in similar situations.  ie - best setups for Cache, QEMM, Swapfile,
etc...

This will be the second or third year I have heard rumors
of ghostscript for Windows/DOS. Is anyone actually using a
Windows 3.x version of ghostscript?

Very rarely I receive documentation for a program in 
PostScript format. I would like to view it on on-line
(e.g. ghostscript). However, I have not been able to
"copy" the file to our PostScript printer. How is this
done? Suggestions?

In something like a 'ghostscript' program I would like
to be able to minimally extract the text from the file
(e.g. export to ASCII format files) for import to standard
word processors. Is this available in ghostscript?

thanks

A friend of mine ordered the program about a year ago.  At the time, the
program did not have a dialing directory.  In order to connect, the USER
had to enter the #@$%#$% "AT" command, for example:

ATDT 753-3467

I don't know if they fixed it - but after that experience neither one
of us would consider buying a product from that company!

    Has anyone ported XTIFF to MS-DOS & Uses MS-Window as the
Window utility? I am looking for both source & binaries.
Thanks for any tips.

Has anyone else noticed that running xtree for windows in enhanced
mode hoses dos?

After installing Xtree for windows on a very stable machine, everything
worked fine. Xtree seemed a marginally useful program over the functionality
of NDW2.0, The directory browsing was much faster, and mounting .zip files
as drives is nifty and useful.

After rebooting my system I noticed that after running Xtree, any DOS session
would cause the "Your app has violated system integrity" message. and exiting
windows would hang the system.

I reinstalled xtree and the problem went away, until I rebooted, then it 
re-appeared. It is very consistent, and only happens after or during an Xtree
session.

I also noticed the viewers for Xtree are very slow, and totally incorrect.
The amiPro viewer GPF's, and the Word for windows viewer shows very narrow
columns when lookingt at wfw2.0 files.
