Subject:      Re: Sample of all fonts?

As I stated before I am using WFW 1.1a.
WFW 1.1a contains no menu (tools-macro-new)
that I could find.  I tried recording your
program under the macro menu but with no luck.
The most I could get it to do was copy the
code in a document.  Is there anything I can do?

Subject:      And again Win3.1

Well, maybe this is a boring and old question, but i am new on this list
and just want to know, how compatible is win3.1 versus win3.0. Can I
still use my old win3.0 software I developed, or will I have to rewrite
all that stuff ? And what about commercial programs in the future.
Will there be software only running on win3.1 or will everything work
with win3.0 as well ?
Lots of questions indeed...

Thanx in advance

If you get a solution to the "truetype directory" question pass it along to
me (I might miss it).

Since you're hassling with truetype I thought you might know whether there's
been discussion or conclusion on the question whether there are any conflicts
in printing documents combining adobe type 1 and truetype fonts.

    Also, many people find that it is better to
    develop Windows software under OS/2 than under Windows because OS/2
    is more stable.

I know of no commercial developers who use OS/2 as a development
platform.  Win 3.0 was a slightly unsteady platform to develop under,
but Windows 3.1 is much better.  The story about developers using OS/2
is primarily wishful thinking and hype on the part of IBM.  I
purchased OS/2 for this purpose, but found it less workable than just
using DOS and normal Windows and Oxygen.  Oxygen is a product that
lets you use the OS/2 version of the Microsoft C compiler under DOS
by wrapping a DOS extender around it.  This is completely unnecessary
with Microsoft C 7.0.

 I didn't realize that I suggested that monitors had the smarts to do
color dithering. If so, I apologize for confusing anyone.

 Hmm. My understanding is that dithering pertained only to color approximation.
Am I being too narrow in my definition? I'm not sure I understand what
you mean about dropping horizontal lines from a single pixel grid. A sequence
of single pixels would consitute only one line. Perhaps you could reword
so I would understand?

 BTW, I recently read the April BYTE review on the new NEC MultiSync FG
monitors (anyone for a 21" 6FG for only $3499). The author says that the
May issue of BYTE will review "dozens" of high resolution monitors. Perhaps
we will find some good bargains. Man, I need more screen.

Window's users:

    I am the person who originally posted the message about not being
able to receive broadcast messages.  Since that time I have solved my
own problem.
    On my system windows didn't install the new version of
NWPOPUP.EXE.  You can check that.  The new version should have a
date in 1992 and a size of 2992 bytes.
    If that is the problem the updated version of NWPOPUP.EXE can be
found on DISK #2 in the form NWPOPUP.EX_ . It can be expanded with
EXPAND.EXE found on DISK #3.
    Copy EXPAND.EXE to your Hard Drive, insert DISK #2 into the drive
and type:
                 EXPAND A:\NWPOPUP.EX_

Then make sure to remove all copies of the old NWPOPUP.EXE as it will
violate system integrity (On my system anyway.)


I hope this helps.

With regard to 3.1 upgrades in the U.K.

Microsoft are offering the upgrade for about 45 pounds which at the current
(bank) exchange rate of 1 pound to $1.75 is a dollar equivelent price of
$78.75.  On top of the basic price there is a delivery charge of about 6
pounds and V.A.T. (value added tax) of 17.5%, which brings to total cost to
60.64 pounds (sorry the first two figures are approximate only kept a
record of the total) equivalent to $106.12.  This ammazing offer is
available from

Microsoft Upgrade Centre
P.O. Box 195
Houndslow
TW4 5QX
tel: 081-893-8000

They require that you send either a copy of your original purchase invoice
or the SETUP disk from your win 3.0 disk set.

Note, I have no conection to microsoft except as another user who cannot
figure out how come the dollar pound ratio becomes 1 to 1 when selling
software.

Secondly does anyone know how I can get copies of the USENET newsgroup
COMP.WINDOWS.MS.PROGRAMMER. I should say at this point that I do not have
ftp access.

Subject:      Re: Sample of all fonts?

Hi Netters!

        Now, when you have installed all these new TrueType fonts in Windows
3.1, you think: "Wouldn't it be nice to be able to print them all in one
document -- to see what they look like...". That's what I thought. Therefore
I made a template/macro in W4W 2.0 (WordBASIC) that does that. Here is one way
to do it:

        Make a new template. Leave the template itself empty, but write this
little "autoexec" macro (Tools-Macro-New):

Sub MAIN
   ViewDraft 1
   For ifont = 1 To CountFonts()
      FormatCharacter .Font = Font$(ifont), .Points=16, .Bold=0, .Underline=0
      Insert Font$(ifont)
      InsertPara
   Next

   REM sort the table
   StartOfDocument
   EndOfDocument 1
   ToolsSorting .Order = 0, .Type = 0, .Separator = 0, .CaseSensitive = 0
   StartOfDocument
   ViewDraft 0
End Sub

        Then close and save the macro. Save the template as "Fonts" or
something similar. When this template is used to make a New document, it
generates a list of all the font names formatted in that font.

Good luck! Let me know if you have problems!

Subject:      OS2 again

   I red the last mail of Eric Webb and have some questions about the use
of OS2. I also intend to test it but in france i have to wait for the end of
April.
   Is he trying os2 with novell. Does it work fine and is there some soft
to get somewhere..
   Does WinQvtNet work using packet driver.(For me i use it with Token Ring)
   Does PC3270 still work...
   Is the support of printer like LaserJet III better than with windows
     (Many of apps forget that III can understand HPGL,thus delivering tons
      of bitmap to draw a line|)

  There is again a problem of fonts. How does it work in os2. They choose
adobe, microsoft True type. What do you notice about that (fonts for 3.0
and fonts for os2...) Do you use ATM, stacker ...

I send these letter to the list because i am sure that a lot of people have
the same questions.

Thanks in advance for the answers

Subject:      Good place for a good deal on a hard drive?

Well, since everyone here seems to be pretty knowledgeable about hardware,
I'm going to ask a hardware question, as it is intended to support
software.

What with the new operating systems out there, there is an ever
increasing demand on hard disk drives.

Any suggestions as to what is a good size to get for the new operating
systems?  And can anyone suggest a place to get a great deal as well
from?

I have been mulling the idea of a Maxtor 340 Meg SCSI drive from MegaHaus
for $899 for the past couple weeks.

I would be doing word processing, programming, database, but especially
design work, such as CAD packages.  (I figured 340 Meg would be good.)

Any suggestions?

And if you reply directly to me, then we can reduce unnecessary traffice
to the list, unless you feel your answer would help others who might be
interested.
