Sound Tool is pretty neat. I got to get down to the post office and
send the $15 to the guy in Germany that wrote it. You should be
careful with it though. It appears to use DSOUND.DLL like Wired for
Sound and may have some of the same problems. I am using the version
of DSOUND.DLL that works with the SoundBlaster and I noticed that
if I use anything the uses DSOUND like Sound Tool, then I can't
use the SoundBlaster from a DOS window anymore. Windows says that
some program is already using the SoundBlaster and won't let the
DOS program access it. I hope a updated version of DSOUND.DLL
appears soon.

The current version of Sound Tool is interesting, but appears to have
several bugs, I hope the author get the worst of them out before he
sends me a copy. Some sounds go through some kind of frequency shift
when they are converted and adjusting the frequency doesn't seem to
help. Maybe the program is assuming the wrong sampling rate. Don't
try the filter function, unless you want to take a lunch break.
Also it would be be nice if more of the functions were on radio
sliders like the volume control. It is fun to play with though.
It's kind of neat having Arnold Swartzenegger say "I'll be ba-ba-
ba-back".

It HAD been my intention to fulfill the spirit of the Win 3.1 licensing
agreement--i.e., one copy of Win 3.1 per machine.  But I simply couldn't
wait to install it on the office machine!  Anyway, with my purchase of two

What are to pros and cons of DSOUND.DLL, SOUNDTOLL, and Microsoft SPEAKER.DRV?
???  Which will allow me to use Win3.1 sound features without a sound card??? 
 Is there a ftp site where I can get these programs???  My Win3.1 package does
n't have SPEAKER.DRV where do you get this program (I don't have access to Com
puserve).??

  Howdy folks.

  I would appreciate it if someone knowledgable on the subject
would describe exactly what NT is and is not going to be. I
have seen a lot of rumors, mudslinging, and slams being posted, and
I find it difficult to understand what this syetem is going to do.
  Basically, I can sum this up by saying: IF YOU DON'T KNOW...DON'T POST!!!

  Specific questions I have:

    What will the hardware requirements be?
    What is the projected retail cost?
    What are its primary "features"?

  Someone posted that my 386-16 isn't powerful enough to run
Windows NT. Maybe they're right.

  Guess I better start savin up some cash for a better computer by the
time NT comes out :-)

  Oh, final question...is Microsoft gonna let us Windows 3.1 users
"upgrade" to NT, or will we have to buy it retail?

  Thank you very much...

(wish me luck!).

I should mention that I DID NOT UPDate win 3.0, I erased all
of that and just did a brand new install of win 3.1, express

I am owndering if Ican still use the HP Scaleable fonts that
used to be in the HP Driver for DJ 500C?  That driver uses
CG Times which is the same as the internal times printer font.
New Tiems Roman looks different (smaller), and sometimes i may
want to use WP for Dos, and i will need to use the internal fonts.

WHich answers your question Bradley......when using WP for DOS
you are stuck with the printer's internal fonts, unless you 
get a font pgoram for WP (i.e. Facelift for WP, Morefonts, etc).

I am running Stacker 2.0, DOS 3.3, and Windows 3.0

I stacked a 32Mb drive, giving me two new "drives".  For a couple of
months everything worked as advertized but now if I try to execute a
program under DOS, I get :

  Read fault error reading drive D:
  Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?

This also applies if I try to copy files, etc.  I have run CHKDSK,
SCHECK, and Norton Disk Doctor -- no problems.  I can look at the
contents of program files using Norton Utilities, so I am a little
baffled.

The strangest thing is that if I run Windows (Enhanced), all these
files are accessible.  If I run a DOS session under Windows, there
are no problems--everything works just fine.

Anyone have any ideas?

     Maybe there should be a new newsgroup set up.
We could call it comp.sys.windows.os2.argument.  The sole
purpose of the newsgroup will be for os2 and windows people
to yell at one another.
     Also, once a year, we could have a big rumble, where
we give the windows NT people sticks and the Os2 people
rocks and have them duel. Or maybe guns would be better.
    One of these two environments/operating systems is
going to survive the test of time.  It won't be the best
one.  It will be the one that is purchased the most often,
and ergo, on more people's desks.
     Does anyone honestly think that calling it "NoS2" or
"windoze" serves a purpose?  It makes all of you grown men
look like children on the school yard.
     So if you want to get on here, whether you are a
windows person or an os2 person, and bitch about whatever,
maybe you should take it "outside" and let this newsgroup
be used for something productive.

I already posted this information, but nobody outside Canada has commented
on it yet (it was titled "Great Canadian price ...") I'll post it again
under a more general title:

In Canada, anyone who bought Windows 3.0 after March 6, 1992 gets a FREE
upgrade to Windows 3.1.  Since 3.0 is being heavily discounted here now
(as low as $45 Cdn), you can actually upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 cheaper
by buying a new copy of 3.0 and getting a free upgrade than by upgrading
an existing copy through Microsoft (plus you get five extra diskettes :-).

You should check with your local Microsoft distributor to see if this
applies where you are.

          In 386 enhanced mode, Win 3.1 will smoothly transfer the
          windows mouse cursor into a DOS window providing that the
          new mouse.sys or mouse.com driver (disk 4) is manually
          installed *and* providing you use one of the supplied video
          drivers.  After installing the new mouse driver, it took a
          while to realise that I had to forgo my 256 colour driver
          and go back to the 16 color VGA driver.

          Seems like we'll have to wait for the video card
          manufacturers to release new drivers.  And what about
          Winspeed?  Since Winspeed offers 256 colour drivers only, do
          these currently support mouse control in a windowed DOS box?
          How does the speed of the Winspeed drivers compare to that
          of the MS-supplied VGA and super (16 color 800*600) VGA
          driver?  Is Winspeed really worth the extra bucks (now)?

.Mod files would make EXTREMELY long voc files, seeing as how

that you could do this without sampling the output back into

Better would be if someone could write a .Mod player for Windows, something

But OS/2 is the very best platform to develop WINDOWS products on as
well as DOS and OS/2 products!  It runs all three seamlessly and
flawlessly.  Currently I am running the GA code using Qmodem,
WordPerfect for DOS and have a little game going off in the corner.
Everything is ROCK SOLID, something I could never say about Windows when

OS/2 doesn't need to compete with Unix, NT does.  OS/2 needs only to
compete with DOS/Windows to be successful.  And if my experience with it

I am having a slight problem.  I have a 386/40 with 4MB.  I do install
HIMEM.SYS, but I do not install emm386...I find that EMM386 slows my machine
slightly and I have no need for expanded memory in a DOS environment.

The problem that occurs is that with smartdrv installed, my machine blanks
the screen when Corel Draw begins to print.  The only way to get the screen
back is to CNTRL-ALT-DELETE and return to windows (YES I am running 3.1).
Sometimes I get back a nice updated screen and other times I get a screen
that appears to have had rows of pixels shift and distorted...some pixels
are flickering and I can typically locate my mouse pointer by a group
of moving distortions.  The machine never locks up though.  Without SMARTDRV
the problem appears to never occur.

ANY suggestions???
I am currently not shadowing video and/or system rom.
Also I have a PLANE JANE VGA card w/256k.

Hello Windows Users,

	me why its called the "1024 Video Max Card" when it only 
	holds 512K. 
	
	Next, I re-installed Windows (3.0). When I point the install

	install informs me that Windows CANNOT support this driver
	in 386-enhanced mode, & I'll have to run in one of the other
	modes.

	I tried ALL OF THE VIDEO DRIVERS; all produced the same message.

	MY FIRST QUESTION IS: is there a driver at CICA that will allow 
	me to use my video card in either 800x600 or 1024x768 mode AND 
	let windows work in 386 Enhanced mode?

	MY SECOND QUESTION IS: is there are "cleaner" way of changing my
	video driver WITHOUT installing windows from scratch?
