I am just wondering (before I buy a 386SX notebook) what will be the
differences (e.g., speed, etc.) between a 386SX (or any 16/32 bit cpu)
and a 386DX (or a 486DX) when running Windows NT (when and if it is
ever released).  I don't like spending money on technology that will
be horribly obsolete in less than a year.  Anyone out there have any
ideas or knowledge from a Beta version?

Nor did it work in my  WFW2.0a(?) I actually went home to try this one.
I was disappointed that nothing happened.

Perhaps this was in a beta version?

Ermine, no offense meant, but:

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

Are you sure about that?  If 32-bit accesses (with the requisite WD-compatible
drive controller) are made for Windows apps as well as non-, doesn't that mean
that it would be an absolute waste of precious memory to have any caching of
the hard drive going on, as with SmartDrive, since the 32-bit accesses would be
bypassing the BIOS and going directly to the controller itself??  It seems
Microsoft would let those of us lucky enough to run in 386Enh know that we could
reclaim the 2MB or so that we've dedicated to SmartDrive.

I don't get any indication of that from the WRK:  it *does* say that the 32-bit
accesses (okay, a new one: 32ba) help out with DOS apps, but it doesn't
explicitly state that Windows apps benefit in any way.

Although the lack of an answer doesn't necessarily provide new data, I *did* ask
the Microsoft techno-sales jock who hosted the half-day Windows seminar I atten-
ded whether this was the case: after a moment's thought he said that was a
jim-dandy question and he'd address it after the session; when he later said he
would need to look at the documentation, I figured he was just going to consult
the WRK (the same one that I have now), so I dropped it.  It would seem to me
that, as in para 1 above, he'd have said, "Yes, take back that SmartDrive
memory!" if it were at all possible....

Along the same lines, he mentioned that, according to MS tests ;-) SmartDrive
was at least as fast as any disk-caching software on the market "as of last
Monday."

    I have a 286 with AMI's NEAT Chip set.  However, I also have an
    Aboveboard that provides the expanded memory support. So I don't use
    the boards expanded support.

    I also use QRAM.  Qram provides High Memory support--that area
    between 640 and 1024.  The mother board currently has 4000+ of
    extended memory managed by Quarterdeck's QEXT.  Its able to convert
    expanded to extended but not extended to expanded memory.  And I've
    never inquired if they provide a utility to go the other way.

    Most people use an memory expansion board with the EMS specification
    supported in hardware, or they have one of the speciallized chip
    sets on the motherboard.  All still require a software manager
    inaddition.  Neither Qram nor Qext provide that.  But there may well
    be something else out that coverts Extended to expanded and a 286.
    (The EEMS386 utility provided with DOS5 is able to do so on a 386.
    Most such utilities seem to require a 386 that I've heard of)

    As the years pass though, expanded memory is used less and less by
    programs because it is so much slower than extended.

I called Symantec to upgrade....got part way through the order and was told
to call their upgrade broker for Canada when the found out I was in
Canada. Unfortunately, I don't have the number here. Anyway, I phoned the
Canadian distributer and placed my order. It came to $71(CAN) and some change
with taxes (no PST for me) shipping and all that....no copies available for
about 4 weeks. And it seemed that was a cross you fingers type of date. It
should be a fair bit cheaper in the US of A (dollar difference, lack of

We, in Greece dont have much of a problem since we have 24 characters to

Windows seems to say that the 32-bit disk accesses available to some
hard drive/controllers is for non-Windows apps in 386Enh only.  If
that's the case, can there really be that large a benefit unless
you're running ONLY non-Windows apps, all the time??

 Sorry for the coded information.  I've seen TrueType abbreviated several
 times as TT.  I should not have assumed everyone would know that,
 especially those who may not have upgraded yet.

 If someone needs to know what TrueType is I suggest they pick up a
 recent issue of most any computer related magazine.

According to the Microsoft User's guide (pg 246) when Windows 3.1 is running
in 386 enhanced mode, a non-Windows application's font size can be changed
when the non-Windows application is running in a window.  The directions say:
"From the Control menu...choose Fonts."  The trouble is, my Control menus
show Restore, Move ... etc. through Settings..., but the last line which is
supposed to show "Fonts..." is not there.  Do I have a defective version of
Windows or am I doing something else wrong?  Has anyone else had this experience

I had a similar problem during the win3.1 installation where
windows told me after the second disk that it wasn't able to
run in standard mode due to a problem with my memory manager.
I also use a 486 machine but in my case it was the shadow ram
option for the adaptor rom's. When I disabled these rom's and
had only the video and system rom shadowed to ram I was able
to finish the installation in standard mode. Internal CPU
cache and external 256kB cache were both enabled during that
time. I would suggest to Bradley to have a look at his
shadow options in the CMOS setup .

Hello netters,
        Im planning to buy a copy of Word for Windows from a computer
shop in my town soon.  But Im wondering if I buy a copy of W4W now, do I
get version 2.0 or 2.0a?  What are the differences between them?  If I
get 2.0 and want to upgrade to 2.0a, what is the cost?  Is it free?
        Any comments to my address are welcome.

Windows NT specifications classify it as an operating system. Thus, it
does not require any other operating system.

    Anyone done this? Is it possible?

I use a batch file that copies separate autoexec.bat and config.sys
files into the root directory and I reboot when I want to change
versions.  It works OK.

    If so, any special requirements?

I recommend doing what I do to allow each version to use its own
version of smartdrive, etc.

    How to keep things separate? Can they use the same swapfile?

3.1 converted my swapfile and 3.0 can no longer use it.

Subject:      4DOS in Win31
X-To:         win3-l@uicvm.uic.edu

Hello netters!

	I just got Win 3.1 today.  It seems to me that everything runs
faster (but not smooth) and looks more elegant.  However, there is one
thing that annoys me.
	I have 4DOS Ver.4 as command shell.  When I open a DOS window
running 4DOS.COM, everytime I press enter or execute a command it adds
"happy face" characters.  If I dont "cls" the screen, it fills the
window with the "happy face" characteres.
	Does this means 4DOS is incompatible with Win 3.1?
	Any help are welcome.
