        Will the manuals come later? As nice as it would be to get Paradox
3.5, I wouln't want to try it without a manual; it's hard enough with one!

I also am thinking about buying a Gateway....

Subject:      MS Download Files Available
X-To:         win3-l@uicvm.uic.edu

I've downloaded the following files from the Microsoft Download Service (their
bulletin board system):

disk_drv.exe 154K  \
disk_wrk.exe 593K   \   The entire Windows Resource Kit. File #4 is the
diskroot.exe 163K   /   documentation in WFW format. Save yourself a lot
wrk_doc.exe  877K  /    of time and order the bloody thing for $20.

mmext.exe     30K   (latest MSCDEX v2.21 I think)
msexe.exe     40K   (ms-dos executive)
revers.exe    23K   (reversi)
speak.exe     21K   (pc speaker driver; oops, just saw the posted offer)
s3.exe       578K   (s^3 chip drivers from a friend, also avail. at ms)

wdl.txt contains some info from MS.

These files are on my PC server at 130.109.115.184.  This machine is only a
6MHz 286 running KA9Q NOS (PA0GRI v2.0h) atop MS-DOS, so access will be slow.
Userid anonymous, please use your real (e-mail) id as the password, and try to
limit access to non-peak CST (CDT???) tz hours.  Be sure to specify BIN as the
file type or you'll waste a lot of time.  These are self-extracting archives.

Note that I make no claims to this software: I downloaded it directly from
Microsoft and make it available only as a convenience to folk who don't have
access to a (fast) modem.  Everything is copyright Microsoft or someone else.
As far as I can tell, if Microsoft is willing to make the files available on
their open access BBS, they shouldn't mind me distributing them either.
Please do not ask me to send them to you via e-mail, they're too big and I
don't really have the time.  Good luck.

Alfred,
   The ideal would be separate lists for each Windows application. For
example, there is a list for WP4W. These lists would platform independent,
and provide a forum for passing along bugs and fixes for the problems
which might be platform related. Until then, this and the new OS/2 list
seem to be the only way to distribute such information.

   It's as you say; the average Win3 user probably can't alone solve
these problems. However, one could pass along information about vendor
solutions. I would stongly support platform independent application
lists. Perhaps the list members can point us to established lists?

Eric Webb

There are many people who are trying to find internet
address and/or their numeric equiviant.  I believe this
telnet address is to a system at the University of Michigan,
but not sure.  Anyway, when you want to find out what the
address or number for a system telnet 35.1.48.149 then
at the host prompt enter "UM-DNS". This will put you onto
University of Michigan's Domain Name System server. At
the query prompt (for example):

Query? uga.edu any
	uga.edu
	nameserver #1 is SERVER.UGA.EDU
	nameserver #2 is ASMUS1.GENETICS.UGA.EDU

Query? server.uga.edu any
	server.uga.edu internet address is 128.192.1.9

Query? quit

Bye.


Hope this may help eliminate some of the asking for address.

It works quite well for me using 2.0a under WIN 3.0 at 640x480x256

But at home, I upgraded to WIN 3.1, then changed to the Diamond
SpeedStar 3.1 drivers  (800x600x256/ large fonts).  After the upgrade,
I loaded W4W, clicked on the Help/About bitmap and only got the
fireworks/names display.  The WP bashing screens were gone (I made no
changes to W4W after installing Win 3.1.)

If I remember, I'll run Window's setup tonight, changing back to VGA
standard font drivers and see what happens.

The ATI-ULTRA will support any IBM 8514/A compatible monitor.  If
the Sony is 8514/A compatible, it should work.

Note that the ATI-ULTRA will NOT support VGA (640x480) or Super
VGA (800x600) modes by itself.  It only does the 1024x768 8514/A
mode.  You have to have another VGA card in the system and connect
it to the ATI-ULTRA card in "pass through" mode to get VGA or
Super VGA with the ATI-ULTRA.

ATI makes another product, however (which I have) called the
ATI GRAPHICS ULTRA.  It is basically the ATI-ULTRA with the
VGA WONDER (VGA and SUPER VGA) capabilities added.  This card
does not require a separate VGA card for VGA.

Oh, they also have a GRAPHICS VANTAGE card which is pretty much
the same as the GRAPHICS ULTRA card, but does not use the
fast VRAM memory, so it is a bit slower (but cheaper).

        Symantec/Norton has an option on their service line (toll-call alas)
which talks about 3.1 and the Norton products. They mention three issues
relating to NDW 1.0: one is that, in Tool Control, it is necessary to click on
an icon twice. A second is that the spin buttons don't work. The third is that
some changes need to be made in Norton Backup; these changes are outlined in
APPS.HLP in 3.1.

Unfortunately the answers you get will probably not be of much help.
The UMM.SYS driver requires that you somehow "enable" the upper memory
in the I/O region.  Some BIOS setup programs can do this.  Most cannot,
as far as I can tell.

I found that I got much better luck using UMB_DRVR, a similar product
that supports many chipset and will enable the high RAM all by itself.
The latest version is UMBDR521.ZIP, available at SIMTEL in the
PD1:<MSDOS.SYSUTL> directory.

After spending 45 minutes with Microsoft, I was able to get
around the problem by disabling the cache options for the 486
via the BIOS setup screen.

That got standard mode to work, thus allowing windows to
finish the installation.

Since there was a measurable performance loss, one windows was
loaded, I re-enabled the cache options and Wind 3.1 seem to run
fine (in 386-enhanced mode: standard mode still dies w/caching).

I missed that you were using WFW 1.1a.  Are you indeed using it

to use WFW 1.1 with Win 3.1.  The area of difficulty is seeing the

As I understand Stacker to be, you'd want to turn Smartdrv "on" on the real

albeit indirectly.

This applies to any cache, not just Smartdrv.

I didn't have any problems with memory conflicts.

I also modified my FILES= statement to 50 and my STACKS were also increased by
the install program to 35,256 (I later changed to 35,128).  The files

Do you have the Windows multimedia extensions?  The alarm clock
application included with the 3.0 extensions will cause problems like
this if it is running at the same time as a DOS shell.  3.1 does not
include an updated version, but warns you not to use the old one.

I have the same problem with old corel 1.x files. Corel 2.0 files work fine.

        The upgrade comes with 6 HD disks and a coupon for 12 DD ones.

    The Green Monster, etc, appears at VGA  (640x480) resolution, but NOT at
    1024x768 on
    my computer; at the high resolution I get only the names and fireworks. This
 is
    true
    for V2.0 and V2.0a.

This works fine on my computer under 3.1 with a Trident 8900 in
1024x768x256 mode.  That's with v2.0a.
