Subject:      PKZip 1.93 NOT!

From:         IRHANV00@UKCC.UKY.EDU
Subject:      Re: Zip files

Ed,
  Ran into a similar problem when trying to unzip files using pkz ver. 1.1,
when the files had been zipped using pkz ver. 1.93. Xtree probably uses the old
versin of pkzip, so try obtaining a version 1.93 pkzip & try the files again. I
bet the problem goes away.
                                                 Forrest

*---- End of Attached Message -----*

Might want to think twice about PKZip 1.93 cuz didn't PKWare put out a bulletin
regarding the Fact that PKZip 1.10 was the last official release of the
Shareware version?  And that any PKZip 1.xx or 2.01/2.1 are hacks that carry
damaging features.  This has been all over the mailing lists that I read for
months now.

As for Ed's troubles, check to see if you are using true binary downloading
from Wuarchive and not an ASCII download.  Zip files are binary (or Image) type
files and will show up as non-ZIP files when downloaded wrong.

But be careful of any 'pkzip' version other than the 1.10 or the $$$ware 2.0
that just appeared on the market.

  Hello. I just joined the group in the fast few days, and caught the tail end
of a thread about accessing some secret screens in Windows. I was curious
about how one goes about viewing these screens. There seemed (at least to me)
that there were two different groups of screens to view (all I know is the
mention of the ABOUT WINDOWS menu)
  If somebody would be kind enough to send me info (privately, it seemed
towards the end to be a rather unpopular thread) on how to access this
screens, I would be most grateful. Thanks in advance.

The latest listing I have for the CICA files has both programs under

psp10.zip. I haven't tried PSPro...but I'm looking forward to it.

By the by, Graphic Workshop for Windows is gwswin10.zip in the same

*** Resending note of 92-08-14 09:03

>Does anyone know which software can produce flowchart easily ?

I have just discovered an *excellent* one called CHARTIST.
It's a Win3 application, is quick to learn and very easy to use.

It's designed as a flowchart program so takes full advantage of drag 'n'
drop for positioning and repositioning items. If you want to change the
position of a box, just click on it, drag it to new location, let go and
all connecting lines are redrawn automatically - a very nice feature.
Optionally, the boxes can be made to snap to a grid.

The saved files are extremely small. I have one chart with 18 boxes and
over 100 words and it is just over 2k.

The arrows are perfect. For each line drawn you can: select 0, 1 or 2 arrows;
the length of the arrow and whether it is solid or hollow.

I got it from a local BBS.

It costs $72.95 to register.

Subject:      Programming languages and 32-bit Windows

Hi,
I plan to develop a learning environment to assist a teacher
with a "learning disabilities" class. I started computer programming
in college and stayed enough semesters in the program :-) to learn
about a dozen languages, REXX, Pascal, C and RPG among them...

I never tried to write a program in the Windows environment yet;
I suppose it could not be harder then compose and link ISPF dialogs
in a PL/I program... But I want it as easy as possible.

I also know that 32-bit Windows is around the corner. So. Which
language should I pick? C++, Borland's Object-oriented Pascal?
The chosen one must be able to recompile in 32-bit as soon as it
is supported... Any thoughts about this would be greatly appreciated.

I have used Photosyler under  Windows to change 24-bit True Color
scanned images into MCGA (320x200x256 color) images using the
RESAMPLE and TRANSFORM options.  Perhaps they would also work
to increase the image size.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for, but I'm assuming that you need a
terminal emulator for your system.

What kind of terminal does a Unisys/Burroughs support?  I know of a number of
terminals for which there exist Windows emulations, but I don't know what kind
of terminal your system supports.  Let me know and perhaps I can help.

Hi.  I just joined too, and it seems that all this hoopla about hidden screens
is specific to WIN 3.1.  I happen to know about a hidden screen in 3.0, however
-- I read about it in some computer magazine (I forget which one).

1. Press and hold F3.
2. type "WIN3" (without quote marks, of course).
3. Release F3.
4. Press backspace.
5. The background wallpaper should now be replaced with a list of Windows
developers and pushers (including Gates himself) -- the names are actually
usernames internal to Microsoft or something and not full names (i.e.
Bill Gates under the list of "Dads" is "billg").  You may need to minimize your
windows to see all of the list.  Click the left mouse button to get rid of the
list.  Note: this technique doesn't always work with some SVGA drivers -- it
didn't work the drivers I got with my Pixel SVGA card (based on Tseng ET4000),
but when I switched to the generic Tseng ET4000 drivers, it worked fine.

Also in this magazine was mention of some trick for Word for Windows, but I
don't remember what it was (I did try it one time, though, and it does work).
It's more spectuacular than the WIN 3.0 trick above, though -- a scrolling list
of names (like the credits at the end of a TV show or movie) with fireworks in
the background!

Tschuess,
David Paschal

  From: Aaron Crane <ACRANE@MACC.WISC.EDU>
	  I have a basic Window's programming question.  My program doesn't
  seem to want to share the processor with any other programs.  It
  must think the work it is doing is more important.  I am using
  Borland C++ 3.1 w/ application frameworks.  In my innermost
  computational loop (where the program spends a lot of time), I
  put the following statement in an effort to share the processor:

	  PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE );

The we use a function that processes messages for our own application
until all messages are read.  It may be that your application is
getting a message that is not processed, but which must be processed
for a control transfer.  Our code looks like this:

    while(PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE ))
	if(GetMessage( &msg, NULL, NULL, NULL))
	{   TranslateMessage(&msg);
	    DispatchMessage(&msg);
	}

If your application is an MDI one or has accelerators defined, you
will need to add code to this just like what is in your normal message
loop.  Good luck!

Well, I didn't have to move to this (though all I'm using are the screensavers
that came with NDW, Windows 3.1, and Idlewild). I put in another serial port
and the mouse now works; for some reason Windows recognizes it on COM1 and not
COM2, even though COM2 is perfectly functional and I've been running a MOUSE
on COM2 for a long time. Ah the wonders of Windows..........

Ther are some things you can increase the size of in Win 3.1 under SVGA.
DOS apps is one.  I've actually never tried to change the font size of
titles and such in Win 3.1.

In any event,  It is normal that everything will be smaller.  You are not
doing anything wrong!  As fas as choosing which driver, that is totally
up to you according to your needs and preferences.  My monitor is large
enough that I don't have to squint to see the small print in SVGA.
Try 800x600--this a happy medium between 640x480 and 1024x768.
