Hello netters.....

I am looking for a good NNTP News reader that was either written for Windows, or a DOS version
that runs well under Windows, that can be used with Novell's ODI.

Please Email me at johnr@icarus.lis.pitt.edu...

Project 3.0 does this.  Fortunately, you can at least copy the original
diskettes (and I would wholeheartedly recommend you do this anyway) and run
SETUP from the copies.

I don't know if you can get a student version, but I use

I have noticed the following problem with NDW2.0 (viper24 I think), and I was
wondering if anyone else has experienced it and if it has been fixed in this
most recent update. I have the MicroSoft TrueType fontpack. When I use the
keyfinder in NDW to view some of these fonts, I get a dialog box saying that
some of the characters exceed the cell size and will be clipped. I click ok in
this box, and the font comes up fine usually. If I then try to view another
font that generates the same dialog box, I usually get an error in ndwmain, and
I have to reboot. Occassionally, it takes three oversize fonts. 

The Windows 3.1 CharMap utility does not have this problem. Still I wonder if
it is a bug in the keyfinder utility, the fonts, or possibly the video driver
I am using.

Thanks.

There's also a supplemental filter disk.  I don't have the list for it
handy but I think it's such things as WordStar, DisplayWrite, and AutoCAD.
It is not part of the base product but can be requested from MS if you

No difference. It's just a different price for academia. And it's not just

I got in touch with them yesterday, and was told the missing disk would arrive
in at least two weeks.  On top of that, the woman I spoke with said that I 
would receive a whole new set of disks, not just the one that is missing!
Whn I asked what the cause of the problem was to start with, I was given a story
about how one of the manufacturers had screwed up, and that Microsoft didn't
know about it until it was too late.  Five minutes later, she said that one of
the files on disk two was corrupted, so MS ordered a freeze on distribution.
However, obviously, the freeze took place with respect to disk two, but not the 
others!  GO FIGURE!!

I have mine on COM3 but not IRQ7. I think that is use by either my

What I want is the way WPO handles calendars.  Running on Novell NetWare,
it can give multiple people access to the same calendar with different

view and make entries to appointments.  Does such an animal exist?

I know that WPO for Windows is in the works, but it ain't out yet.  Also
judging by WP for Windows, I don't think I want it.

Hello,
I am currently using Mathematica for Windows version 2.1.0 on a 486 33

publishable.  I have tried using encapsulated post script files and
adobe post script files to put them into adobe and they cant be read.
There is a error message that there is an offending character, at first
I thought they were tlaking about me.  Anyway, the other formats of
files lose resolution or wont let you manipulate the parts of the graph
such as the aves or fonts of the axes labels.  I have called Mathematica
and Adobe and they were not real helpful.  There was a small note in
Adobe about Scrapbook plus but I have not heard of this before.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.  Bill Perry

The manual for my LaserJet III says to set the print density dial so that bold
print is distinguishable from normal print.  Maybe your regular fonts are
being printed too boldly.  Try backing off on the print density dial.

I received version 2.0b today and so far I can tell it has the folloing
changes: 

1) The problems with equation spacing seem to have been solved.

2) It has some more on-line help information, particularly help for
   Wordperfect users.

3) The cursor and the mouse pointer are now slanted when pointing to italic
   type (which was supposed to be the case to begin with but didn't work
   with TrueType fonts before 2.0b).

4) It has a full screen feature in which you can hide everything except the
   text (no tool bar, ribbon, ruler or menus).  I guess this would be very
   useful for users of EGA and VGA monitors, where every last bit of screen
   real estate is important.


I don't know if any of the templates were changed.

I really need some basic DOS functions, though, such as get-current-
