  A couple of days ago I got a NEC MultiSync 5FG, which is a 17" monitor,
  (actually a bit more than 15.5"). It is very fine. For the first
  time in 9 years of microcomputing I am satisfied at the initial
  impression made by a monitor and satisfied after using it for two days.

I have a 5FG, and I am compelled by my experience to say good things
about it too.  Also, the usable screen size is large.  Using the front
panel controls I was able to expand the image right to the edge of the
bezel.  The image is not much smaller than the one on the 20" monitor
connected to the unix box next to it.  The Unix monitor has a 1" wide
dark stripe on either side, and about 1/2 an inch on the top and
bottom.  There is a fair amount of screen area that is not used as a
result.  The 5FG lets you use the whole thing.

Disclaimer: I have no interest in NEC or NEC vendors.

Robert,

The driver is called SPEAK.EXE.  This is a product from Microsoft and
is designed to play .WAV sounds through a PC's internal speaker.  File
may be found at Cica (ftp.cica.indiana.edu) or at your local mirroring
ftp site.  Look in the pub/pc/win3/sounds directory.

Hi,

	Microsoft have just launched a program called WinLogin to help manage
Windows on a network.  Here's a bit of the description from a magazine article;

	WinLogin allows users to access their own customised Windows settings
from any PC on the network and enables several users to share one PC, each with
their own settings.
	Network managers can use WinLogin, which uses a central database to
manage user, workstation and administrator settings, to access and remotely
edit configuration files.
	WinLogin works with most networks that support Windows 3.1, including
LAN Manager, NetWare, LAN Server, Vines and Lantastic.


	Has anybody seen this yet - does it do what they claim?  Cost in the UK
is 25 pounds.

Regarding what Harry Kriz said about 8513 monitors (5 replacements in five
years) I might add that I had two replacements within a MONTH of delivery
of the system when I received a Model 30/286 about a year and a half ago.
The computing service folks tried to blame it on me.  Imagine that.  :)

OOPS, I think I sent an empty message before - sorry.


I am writing a custom Excel 4.0 application and have a question about
how to access certain information in my macro program.  In particular
I would like to know some things about a chart that has been created by
the user.  For example, I would like to determine:

1. Are major or minor gridlines on?

2. Information on scaling; min, max, logrithmic etc.

I know how to set these properties - but can I find out what the current
settings are?

As has been pointed out, the script language to pause for 10
seconds is "pause 10".  However, I've found this doesn't work on
my computer.  To get a 10 second pause, I have to insert
"pause 20".  Maybe it's because the symbol for a pause "~" only
gives you a 1/2 second pause that you have to tell ProComm twice
what you actually want.  It seems to work though.  If you put
in "pause 10" and it seems to go by a lot faster than 10 seconds
try putting in twice the time you need.

EMACS is an editor primarily used under UNIX.  The other common Unix
editors (ed and vi) were pretty worthless in my opinion, so Emacs was
a big breakthrough.  The original author of Emacs, Richard Stallman,
is the founder of the GNU project and the League for Programming
Freedom.  The GNU people provide and maintain Emacs and a variety of
other tools basically for free.  The GNU people are not as interested
in PCs, being primarily Unix enthusiasts, but occasionally some kind
soul will port GNU stuff to DOS or even Windows.

Emacs itself on Unix is more than just an editor.  It is a complete
environment.  You can read mail, send mail (like I am doing right now
in Emacs), use a directory-tree tool similar to xtree, have a command
line (or shell as Unix folks like to say), browse net news, or even
get the sayings of Zippy the pinhead (a favorite comic book character
of the authors).  You can extend the environment by programming in
Lisp.  Emacs includes a Lisp compiler/interpreter.

There is a company porting all of the GNU tools to Windows NT
(primarily because they want to use them).  We have ordered the CD-ROM
that they are selling which will contain everything including source
code.  This code will be freely distributable on the net.

Hi!

I'm running into a real GREAT problem...

 Since a few days STACKER is turning me into a mad PC User. >:-[]

 Well i'm going to expose ( as clearly as possible ) my problem.

 I 'Stacked' my Hard disk ( 100 MB -> 200 MB ) and for many months had no 
troubles at all. Recently I put an erase-protect (The EP from Norton desktop
under Windows 3.1) on my stacked drive and a disk-cache (SmartDrv.exe
from Microsoft) on my uncompressed drive.
It all worked fine for several weeks BUT SUDDENLY my stacked drive get
Write-Protected by the program STACKER and since then i can only read my 
stacked drive (absolutely unpossible to write (or delete) a file on that drive)
8-o

 I re-booted my computer and STACKER reported that the Stackvol.dsk file was
damaged (and therefore write-protected the drive).

 I checked the stacked drive with SCHECK.EXE the answer was that there was just
one lost cluster in an EP file ( but no problems at all on the UNcompressed 
drive ) and that i should first correct CHKDSK /F but it wasn't able to repair
it ( the drive is always write-protected )....
 
 I also tried the Norton Disk Doctor the result was the same: unable
to correct the problem (can't write on that disk).

Help me, i don't want to format my Hard Disk and loose 200 MG of Programs!!

WHAT CAN I DO ????

or something like that about the WinSpeed driver bla.bla., and then I
am returned to the DOS prompt. The other SpeedStar drivers work, but
not the Turbo Windows ones. I had similar problems with the first

Microsoft has announced that there with be a version of Windows on DOS that 
implements the entire Win32 api sometime after Windows NT.  I would say that
it is a little premature to state that this product will be called Windows 4.0.

Have you tried the TOOLHELP.DLL available at CICA in `programr/toolhelp.zip' ?
This DLL provides global and local heap walking, stack tracing, module-list and
task-list walking, window classes enumeration, interrupt handling...

It's an old Alpha Release but worked fine for me with Windows 3.0. I think this
DLL is now integrated in Windows 3.1 in the `windows\system' directory.
I'm still developping with Borland/C++ 3.0 so I can't help you about the new
features in the 3.1 API.
