Subject: Restart Windows from within, resource garbage collection
Organization: CSRI, University of Toronto
Distribution: na
Date: 8 Sep 92 21:47:40 GMT


1. How do I restart Windows in a Windows application that is currently running?
   The control panel can do this when the virtual memory size is changed.


2. Is there a way to clean up dangling resources, e.g. GDI, that are left behind
   by other tasks?  Windows' own screen saver always hogs resources this way.


Thank you in advance,

X-News-Reader: VMS NEWS 1.20

In the product news section of the latest "C++ Report" I found 
two PC-based CASE tools that support the Booch notation. 
The first company mentioned is Popkin Software and Systems 
Inc. and their product is called "System Architect". The second 
product is "Object System/Designer" from Palladio Software.
Can someone provide the addresses, fax numbers, or email 
addresses of the companies?
Has anyone any experience with those products he'd like to 
share or can someone provide more information? Which one 
would you prefer?

I'd appreciate any help.

I would also recommend that BWCC.LIB is linked before LIBW.LIB (that is, 
it should be placed physically in the LINK command line before LIBW); 
otherwise if you disable text (i.e. EnableWindow(..., FALSE), etc), the 
text will be invisible instead of grayed.

You may have a version problem...

Are you using Windows 3.1 and an oldish Borland package (i.e. pre the
release of BC++ 3.1) If so you need an updated WINDEBUG.DLL as the library
for Windows 3.0 is not accepted by Windows 3.1

AFAIK This updated DLL is available free from Borland.

This is very good advise.  The swap feature may be convenient for some
uses, but it generally serves only to confuse the user and most
software.  I also recommend against it.

For a very full hard drive, however, it is often possible to go ahead
with the "stack existing data" procedure, then to remove the "swap"
options from the new CONFIG.SYS file.  However, this requires a
reasonable knowledge of what is going on.

>Actually I don't hate stacker all that much but I would definitely NOT put

Windows is an excellent choice for Stacking, since Windows programs are
generally bloated in size.  I have run Windows for quite some time now
on a stacked volume with no trouble (beyond the usual created by
Windows).

> And make sure to set your windows TEMP var to the regular hardisk volume!

My TEMP variable points to the stacked drive, and works well.  However,
you must NOT place your temporary or permanent swap-file on the stacked
drive.  This is described in the Stacker manual, which it is a good idea
to read.

Okay, I dug this up:  if used without options, the \x draws a box
around the elements.  Options can be combined.  Options are:
\to -- top border
\bo -- bottom border
\le -- left border
\ri -- right border

So, to overline the word "jell-o" in the following sentence, you would
write:

No more {eq \x\to(jell-o)} for me, ma!

Naturally, you can write a little macro to do this for you, if this is
something you want to do often.

I haven't used postscript, but I would think that the same procedure would work

driver installed in Windows.  Use the control panel options to connect the
postscript printer to "FILE:".  Then, when you ask W4W to print, it will open a
dialogue box and ask for a file name.  I use this process regularly to produce

In the file mamager, I keep a small window showing a directory with
utilities.  For instance, a copy of notepad is there, so that if I want to
edit a file with the wrong extension, I just drag it onto notepad.

I would like to have a delete utility on which I could drag a colection of
files, so that they would be deleted.  Nothing fancy.
Currently I have a "remove.bat" with "del %1" in it, but that has two
disadvantages:

(1) It only deletes one file
(2) It switches to DOS, so that my screen flashes.

I know nothing about Windows programming, but it seems this should be an
easy program to write, and I would be grateful if someone would mail or
post a binary that does the job.

Thanks in advance,

P.S.: I know about the various dustbin utilities, but I prefer no icons on

I'm using MS Works for Windows with Windows 3.1.  While using the
database, I get an error that the system is out of memory, and that the
display may be incorrect.  

This wouldn't be a problem, except the error box is really annoying.
What do I have set up wrong that might be causing this?  I'm using a
pretty much straight config, with 4 Meg RAM and Smartdrive and emm386
running.

Any suggestions?
