It's called "Undocumented Windows".  Head down to your BookStar or
whatever and buy one...  it's certainly given Microsoft a kick,
apparently.  No sooner did the book come out then all sorts of
documentation for some of these calls magically appeared.  Secrets?
What Secrets?  We have no Secrets!  You will tell the FTC that, won't
you? 

The best part is where they say they didn't want people using these
calls in their software because they can change or go away in future
versions and the software will break.... and they use them in their
own software.  Well, that's one way to make a bundle of money on
forced upgrades.

Current word is saying 'first half of 1993'.  For me, that translates
to late 2Q1993 MAYBE -- expect a slip or two yet, or incomplete
functionality. 

I don't know if the NT Developer's Program is still open.  I think it
is.  Under this you get a Developer's version (including Beta versions
of development tools), all Betas along the way, plus the initial
release of production NT (which it looks like they're going to number
Windows/NT 3.1) -- but not of the development tools.  There's an 800
number to call (or maybe get it through CIS), but I'm afraid I don't
have it handy.

Note that you will need a fast '386-'486 with at least 12 MB of RAM (I
hear less than 16 isn't real workable -- gets  S L O W) and a CD-ROM
drive; I'm not sure which ones are supported, so you'll need to check.
OR you can try running it on an R4000 workstation (which code I gather
is somewhat more buggy than the Intel targetted stuff -- although how
they know, I don't have any idea; I can't see anyone putting this on a
real workstation).

In this week's InfoWorld (11/2/92), p. 32, there's a small article about
WatchIt.  According to IW, this thingie is going to cost around $300,
lets you position and size a television window while working in another
window "without any performance degredation" (yeah, right).  It is 
equipped with it's own tuner, and allows video from several sources, 
and can connect to an antenna, cable, vcr, or video camera.  It also
functions as a video capture board, allowing user to freeze a frame and save
it to disk (doesn't say what file format).

Product requires an ISA system with either 8- or 16-bit slot, vga (640x480)
display (doesn't say if more is supported), and Windows 3.0 or later.

I'm not sure if this will help, but a problem that seems to crop up
pretty regularly is that two fonts that the W4W Equation Editor 
needs (Fences and Extra, as I remember) are not installed correctly
by Setup.  You can check and see if you have this problem by pull-
ing up the Fonts menu in Control Panel.  If you select those fonts
and get no sample characters, they haven't been properly installed.
In that case, you'll need to delete them (without removing them
from the desk and reinstall them from right there in the Control
Panel.  Perhaps the printing problem crops up because the needed
fonts weren't available in the first place.  I hope this helps.

the aspi4dos but nowhere was there any mention of a winaspi.  Where did
this sucker come from and when.  I am still confused about how you use

point?

You need an AdLib WAVE driver, which is different from the AdLib MIDI 
driver (often referred to as an FM Synth driver).  I think that an AdLib
wave driver is available, but I don't where.  You might try the Microsoft
BBS.  I don't have the # handy.  Am I worthless or what???

upgrades since then, but I got no cash).  I remember something floating across

The following describes the experience I had with a mail order firm:

1.  On  October 28, 1992 I ordered a Creative Labs Multimedia Upgrade Kit
from First Computer Systems of Norcross Georgia.  I ordered by phone and 
had the sales person verify that the system included all the parts listed 
in their ad for the stated price of $499.00.  He said that it did.  
Included in the list is a game "Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective". 
which I asked about explicitly.  
The ad is on pages 422-423 of the November issue of PC Sources.

2.  We received the kit on Tuesday November 3.  The game was not included. 
When I contacted Daryl by phone he stated that the game was on the same 
media as the Microsoft Bookshelf product (another kit component). 
but he did not know how to access it.

When I examined the product,  I found the following:
	* the package was labeled "Starter Kit", not "Upgrade Kit"
	* no package labeling (inside or out) referred to the game
	* the Microsoft Bookshelf product  packaging did not refer to the game
	* the Microsoft Bookshelf product  media does not contain the game; 
          I examined the entire directory tree.

3.  On Wednesday  November 4 I contacted Daryl, told him of the missing game 
and was told that he would consult with the Sales Manager  and call me back.  
After  a day of repeated delays  he explained that the game was listed i
in the description of the kit  as a "feature" which meant that it was not 
included.   That explanation evoked from me an earthy descriptor commonly i
used to describe cattle manure.  I then told him that I wanted the 
missing piece shipped and no more run-around.  
He then told me that they would not do that but I should contact their 
RMA center (at my expense), and ship back the product ($19.00 of my expense).  
(In addition there would be a 15% restocking fee according to the invoice.)    
	
I talk to other persons in the company and was told that they had the 
right to change prices without notice and that the package as advertised 
now costs $599.00.  Further, the word I used to describe their 
explanations proved that I was not good enough to be their customer!

Continue to try to get satisfaction from them.  Hopefully you charged the
purchase - if so let the credit card company know of the problem.  If the
company is associated with a trade organization (look for the Direct Marketing
Association (DMA) logo in the ad), give them a call.  Also provide a complaint
in writing to the DMA, the credit card company, and the mail order house.  I

Could someone shed some light on problems I'm having with pasting
graphics from the clipboard into applications.  When I copy graphs
from DeltaGraph and from QuattroPro for Windows into the clipboard
and then look at them with the clipboard viewer or paste them into
Write or WordPerfect for Windows, they are always imperfectly reproduced.
At the least, some text is missing or improperly placed. At the worst,
portions of the graph are rendered in reverse video or blacked out.

Changing the video mode and/or driver has some effect, but I have
yet to come up with a combo that works. I would hope, however, that
all this copying and pasting can work in 1024x768x256 colors
if things are set right. The trouble is, I can't figure out who
owns the problem, i.e., how does the clipboard interact with the
server and client applications. How significant is the role of the
video board and driver.

I am running Windows 3.1 w/DOS 5.0 on an AST Premium II 486/33
with a NEC 5FG and Diamond Stealth video card. I have 10M of RAM.

Thanks in advance for any help or information.
