My apoligies for the waste of airspace.  Diana, if you read this please
respond to me directly.  I was on leave for two weeks.  I tried to send the
answer to your question to me directly to you, but every addressing scheme
that I tried, failed.  Below is the text of the message I was trying to send
you:

Subject:  Re:  Keyboard mapping

Diana,

Sorry, I have been on vaction for 2 weeks, so I could not respond sooner.  The
Page Up and Page Down keys are not defined for a VT100, it doesn't have such
keys.  We used to have some actual VT100 terminals laying around here, so you
could check the configuration, but while I was gone, I see they got rid of
them.  We mapped the PageUp and PageDown to F3 and F4 because our application,
Informix, uses F3 and F4 as the defaults for these functions.  The best you
can do is to find out what your application uses for these functions and set
up WinQVT to use those codes for the PageUp and PageDown.

Hi out there !
    Is the ATI-Ultra realy fast ? How much ? If you used a vanila VGA
before, how many times is ATI faster than a vanila in 800x600x256 ?
I am using a Trident 8900 in my Zeos 386SX and it is realy slow in
this mode.
    By the way, if you are using a Farenheit 1280 please send me your
impressions.

Thank You,

Marcus

X-To:         WIN3-L@UICVM.UIC.EDU

I'm running DEC's Pathworks as a Windows application, and it appears that
Windows doesn't recognize DEC's line drawing characters, but replaces them
with rectangles.  (Running Pathworks from outside Windows the characters
show up o.k.)

Does anyone know of a way to get Windows to handle these characters properly?

Thanks for any help.

Most PC-NFS applications use an NDIS driver/lower stack.  There is a driver
called DIS_PKT which acts like a packet driver but links (ie, NETBIND) into
the NDIS stack.  You might want check into it.

Subject:      Re: Programming Languages?

And what about SPS ("Symbolic Programming System"... IBM 1620), SNOBOL (a
string manipulation language, I think), ROAR (the RPC 4000's optimizing
assembly routine).

The "optimizing" in ROAR, and also I believe in SOAP, referred to the fact that
the machines these languages were used on had drum memory, and an instruction
format that allowed specification of the address of the next instruction in
sequence.  This meant that, if you knew the execution time of an instruction,
and how this related to drum revolutions, you could decrease instruction fetch
time by placing instructions so that when one finished, the next in sequence
would be available for just about an immediate read off the drum.

Not all languages from this era are dead, by the way... FORTRAN, COBOL, and
LISP are three that first appeared during the period of the late 1950's to
early 1960's.

Of course the only problem is version 1.01/1.1 etc. are not

So either use this version to do your zipping/unzipping or stick

I do not know if this can help here but we had the following problem
One of our PC does not want to recognise the ethernet card WD8003E when
using it in higher resolution modes under WIN 3.1.
A very cryptic paragraph in the WD8003E manual stated that if problems
should occur one could try to set the jumper on the video card to 8 bit
video instead of 16 bit. This disables the cards autodetect feature and
forces it to come up in 8 bit mode at bootup. The book says that it does
not prevent the card from working in 16 bit mode, whatever that may mean ?
Anyway, I did as the book suggested and everything worked fine. maybe you
may have to try out some different base addresses for the ethernet RAM.
We had shifted ours from the factory setting D000 to C800 because the
diagnostics did nothing else but failing on D000. We never understood why.
All WD8003E card seem to fail diags with base addr D000.
Hope this info is usefull.

Try this:

- display the progman window, and make it the current task
- hold down the shift button while you choose File Exit Windows

Windows will NOT close but you WILL save progman's configuration, namely
its state as a window instead of an icon when it starts. I'll bet this 
solves your problem. Have Fun! :)

All the responses were not from Europe.  I replied directly to the questioner
because I don't use VB and saw no point in sending a yes we're here message
to the list.  By the way, the 800 numbers don't always work from Canada, and
I usually find that most replies to my net questions come from the USA.
Perhaps it's a time zone delay problem - by the time the North American user
sees the problem it's already been answered from Europe.

I can't remember, that's why I avoided it, but it was easy to find - my

X-To:         novell%suvm.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu,
              win3-l%uicvm.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu

I'm looking for a package that will allow tracking of access/usage of
files in a shared directory.  Ideally, I want to be able to
sort, move, delete, etc. according to the creation date, update date,
last read/access date, etc.  The files are apprx. 95% WP5.1 and
WP4WIN files.

Also, text retrieval would be an added bonus.  It would be great to
be able to search the directory for a file with out knowing the file
name, just the contents.

Anyone know of such a package?  How good is it?  What problems have
you had, and what do you like about it?

Thanks,
-Michael

I don't see why the drivers matter at all, you simply need to use the DOS
copy command to print the file created by setting the Windows printer to FILE.

	You want to see a machine that blows "sucky intel machines" and NeXT
out of the water, go check out an AMIGA computer.
