Subject:      Scan and Fax

I am looking for a program, commercial or otherwise, that would make it
easy to scan pages and fax them out, directly from the same PC.

We have a PC, with an Intel SatisFAXtion board and an HP ScanJet+ scanner,
running various Windows applications.

I know we can purchase WinFax or Faxit to fax out documents created
by any of the Windows programs, but are there any programs that integrate
the scanning and faxing process into a single task?

This is going to be used by many people, so it really must be
straight forward and easy to use.

Thanks

Subject:      AT&T VDC600I VGA Board

Does anyone know anything about the AT&T VDC600I VGA Board? I believe
that it's a SuperVGA and I can get it to display pictures at 680x400x256
and 800x600x16 resolutions (using CSHOW), but not at 1024x768x16, which
I thought SuperVGAs were able to do!

I haven't got a copy of Windows 3 yet...would that be able to display
at 1024x768? If so, would I need a special driver? Is there one available?

Thanks for any help,  please can you send any replies directly to me, as
i'm not on the WIN3-L list...I get too much mail as it is!!!

	 Here's a good questions...Why in the world would Microsoft offer their
    upgrade at a higher cost than other companies offer it. Doesn't it seem
 rather
    pointless? Is there any benefit to upgrading with Microsoft?

Like most retail companies, software vendors will feel betrayed by
Microsoft if it undercuts their price, because it will make them
unable to sell their stock.  Microsoft could offer it less expensively
(theoretically) if they did not go through retailers, but they would
need to massively expand their phone order division which would cost
them lots of money, which would probably raise the price back up to
what they are offering it at anyway.  By going through other
distribution they allow the distributor/retailer to discount it as
much as he wants, and some are selling it very close to their cost
hoping to make money on the add-ons and bundled software.

Everyone, let me start off by apologizing for being the cause of some
confusion.  I guess I was still somewhat grogy from Windows World/Comdex when I
posted the following about fastdisk ...

> > The 32-bit (fastdisk) access is for all disk i/o when running windows in the
> > enhanced mode.

The truth of the situation (as many have reminded me) is that fastdisk is
currently being implemented only in reference to the permanent swapfile used in
386 enhanced mode.                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This works for windows and non-windows applications which have been loaded and
as may be, have been moved to the virtual memory space (actually the swapfile
on the hard drive).

Again, sorry for the confusion, hope this clarifies things.

    Since my upgrade in coming in the snail mail seems _so_ slow....
    I thought I would ask a question in anticipation:

    I have a lot of applications in my program manager, using a 600x800
    trident video driver.  Will I have to rebuild my program manager, or will
    the upgrade continue to use my old trident drivers for the conversion.

    I FTP'd the new trident_win31.zip from  wuarchive.wustl.edu  and I am
    wondering when I should replace my old video drivers.  Any help would
    help my upgrade go smoother.

    Thanks

I am using the Trident 1024x768x256 driver for Windows 3.0 (recent
vintage) with 3.1 on my Trident 8900 card with no problems.  When I
installed 3.1 into my old 3.0 directory it automatically set itself up
to use the same driver I was using with 3.0.

        SMARTDRV automatically loads the cache into extended memory; for it
itself to be loaded high, lh is needed. Also, Norton recommends against using
NCACHE if FastDrive (32-bit access) is enabled.

Dell puts "images" of the master disks for DOS and Windows on the hard

librarian program of some sort which makes "master disks" for you.

What it boils down to is not having to pay the extra nickel for the disks.

Hi,
We have here cc:Mail system and mainly we use Windows
"workstations" and cc:Mail for Win (ver 1.1).

* I have noticed that if you have Win 3.0 and cc:Mail
  -everything works OK (more or less).

* If you UPGRADE to Win 3.1 everything works OK as before.

* If you INSTALL Win 3.1 to "clean machine" and install cc:Mail
  after that - NO WORKY. Keyboard is weird: Enter does not change
  line, backspace is not backspace, no scandinavian characters...

* I tried "all": fonts, international,display... You can not get
  cc:Mail working right on "clean" Win 3.1. But the main thing-
  why cc:Mail works OK if you have 3.0 and then UPGRADE to Win 3.1

* What are those important files/parameters You won't get with
  Win 3.1 -any ideas to easier installation for new machines. Now
  the situation is that we have to install Win 3.0 first and then
  upgrade to Win 3.1 - I thought win 3.1 is complete pack ???

P.S. If somebody on cc:Mail reads this: Clean this and other
     bugs to next ver + 8 bit char support to SMTP + private

Yes.  Monitors don't dither for color, adaptrers dither for color.  Some 
monitors do "dither" (they drop pixels).  Display a hairline grid and see if 
all of the lines are their.  The only difference I could find between an NEC 
3D and the much cheaper AAmazing monitor that I baught was that in 1024x768 
mode the AAmazing monitor dropped some of the horizontal lines from the 
hairline (single pixel) grid.

Recommandation:
don't use 1024*768 on an 14" monitor. Your windows will shrink to much. If you
use 800*600 mode you probably will get a non-interlaced picture, your "screen-
size" will still be more than 640*480 und the cpu is not allways busy to write
megabytes of pixels to your screen. I think 800*600 is for a 14" monitor the
optimum installation.

I don't think there are any shareware programs that do this, at least not in
Windows.  There are a couple of shareware programs like WinQVT and Unicom (I
think..?) that will do VT220 or VT320 but not VT240 or VT340 emulation under
Windows.  As a matter of fact, Pericom is the only vendor I've ever heard of
that does VT340 under Windows.  The other commercially available packages that
I know of (Smarterm, Reflections, KEAterm) all only do VT220-VT420.  Of these
three (and I have used all of them) I can recommend only Reflections.
Smarterm's product has many features, but is substandard in appearance,
documentation, and customer support.  KEAterm is only marginally better, but
their support is good.  Reflections lacks a few features I'd like (column cut
and paste, easy keyboard remapping, FTP support) but is nonetheless a very
solid product.  BTW, I have no affiliation with Walker, Richer, and Quinn, who
produce Reflections...I just like their product.

You may have some luck using a DOS-based emulator in a window (in 386 enhanced
mode, of course), especially if you're only using serial communications.
Using LAT or TCP/IP protocols with a DOS-based emulator under Windows can get
truly hirsute.

BTW, if anyone has a phone number for Pericom, I'd like to have it. And if
anyone knows of other Windows-based VT terminal emulators (besides
TERMINAL.EXE :-)), I'd like to hear about it.  We're trying to find one that
we like and will support as a campus-wide standard.  Thanks!

As I found out to my regret, using QRAM from Quarterdeck required expanded
not extended memory.  I think Quarterdeck distributes a free utility that
you can run on your system before buying the product that lets you know
whether and what QRAM will do for your computer.  I didn't know this until
I had already shelled out for the program.  If you're just adding extended
memory, you may have to look elsewhere.  (But since I've never actually
used QRAM, don't just take my word for it.  Call Quarterdeck.)

I have tried to install them but for some reason it does not work.  No 
warning or anything.  I use Add from the Fonts control panel, it 
recognizes the names and presents a list to select from.  I select one
more and OK but nothing happens.  Am I missing some part of the fonts or 
is there some error in method?  The manual shows no special moves beyond 
those that I used.

Has anybody installed them?

Subject:      Crystal Scan Resolution?

Someone posted the list about a blurred image when switching to the
Gateway 2000 Crystal Fonts at 1024x768 resolution on a 15" Crystal Scan
monitor. I wondered if this person found a resolution to the problem?
Many of us are considering Gateway 2000 systems.

Monitors are very sensitive to handling errors (e.g. dropping from the
loading dock). Sometimes they have defective parts. We had to return
about 100 Tatung monitors with severe convergentitus. I had a couple of g
thoughts about the symptoms as I remember them.

Switching to a higher resolution results in one of two states, depending
upon the fonts and controller smarts: sharper images or more stuff. Of
course, when asking for more stuff the screen images appear smaller on
the same monitor. I believe the blurred images appeared when attempting
to display the latter?

Also, the monitor had a .28 mm pitch? I assume the pitch is vertical
distance, not horizontal distance. Some sleazy manufacturers advertize
horizontal spacing which is smaller than vertical.  So a .28 mm horizontal
pitch might be a .29 or .30 vertical pitch.  What I mean is often
explained comparing dots with bowling ten pins.  Vertical distance is
measured between pin one and five, red in the diagram below.

                     R G B R
                      B R G
                       G B
                        R

A .28 mm pitch for on a 15" monitor should be fine. Even if the advertized
pitch, or phosphor spacing, were too large, the image should be trimmed but
not dithered. Dithering results when a display can't show a requested color
by correctly varying the intensities of pixels (triads of red, green and
blue phosphors).  So the driver logic approximates the color by using
more than one triad to make a color. This results in a patchy, grainy look.
BTW, more colors, and less dithering, is why an image may seem much
clearer at a lesser resolution.

Am I incorrect here? Do some adapters dither where most trim?

Some folks may wonder how dithering and Windows are related.  The Windows
graphics interface supports 24-bit color programming. If a program makes
24-bit writes to the driver of a 16-bit monitor, you get dithering.

I'm wondering off track (again).  Given the Gateway next-day replacement,
I would just replace the monitor unless the support staff can help you.
Please let us know the resolution to your problem! Thanks.

Regards,
Eric Webb
