Same problem here...  All of the *.ps files in the beta \doc directory
have different garbage at the start and at the end than any of the *.ps
files in the Developer's Resources CD-ROM, the July SDK, the Oct DDK or
the Developer's Relations Knowledgebase CD-ROMs.  I've printed various
files from these other CDs, but can't print those under \doc on the Oct
Beta.  (Using IBM 4029 PS 17 laser connected to a UNIX system, files
sent via "rsh <host> lp <options> < file.ps".)

Here is some things that I have seen with Word 4 Windows:

I installed NT, and then copy all of my old Windows apps over to 
an NTFS partition. I did this so that I could be sure that no
virus would corrupt or destroy any of my executable files.

I proceeded to set up the access rights to all of these Windows 3.x
executables as execute only (and possibly read only).

I then when to fire up Word for Windows.

Everything worked fine, but when I went to exit WFW, it complained that
it could not write the .INI file that I had marked as read only and 
execute only.

That was all fine.

I then set up some user directories and gave each user access to their
own directory.

Now when each user uses WFW, then can use the one executable and 
work on their own documents.

The problem is that each user has a different set of WFW preferences
and from what I can tell their is no way to set it up so that
each user saves only their own preferences.

One person likes the button bar, the other does not. What happends is that
as the users log on and use WFW, they have to contantly reconfigure
WFW to their preferences.

- Is there any way to save the .INI file for WFW off in a separate user
  directory?

What is  even worse, given all of this security stuff, the list of 
the last 4 files that have been edited is kept at the bottom of the File
menu. This is the last 4 from the last user. This means that uses A 
can set these to their last 4 files, and then user B comes along and
not only can see the file names of which files were being edited, but
then cannot have access to those files!

So the general problem looks like how can you set up NT to allow separate
preferences for each user of Windows 3.x and Windows NT apps?
Are there APIs for this and is there a way to set up NT for the Windows 3.x
case?

You can use File Manager to delete subtrees.

Of course this doesn't help if you're trying to do this from a
batch file.  There is a "del /s" that will remove the files but not the
dirs if that will help.

Help still shows "rm /S dir" as OK to do but it doesn't work on my
system either.

WNT has a Transport Driver Interface (TDI) that wraps "streams"
around tcp/ip, spx, decnet etc. and the streams layer talks NDIS to
network card drivers.

I think that the Windows socket spec is at a application level and the
lower levels are vendor dependent.  Microsoft just chose to run NDIS
at the lower levels and interfaces their TCP/IP layer ontop of
streams and WINSOCKET applications shouldn't care.

"Inside Windows NT" explains this better than I can.

The number of available Windows NT device drivers is not large.  Microsoft
will be writing some additional ones, but the best course for you to follow
is to ask your hardware manufacturer to write one.  When Cabletron gets enough
requests for an NT driver, they will make it a priority and get it done.

Or, if you are so inclined, you can buy 2 NT machines and the device driver
kit and write a driver yourself ... <g>

    I have the same problem with the STB Wind/X card at 1024x768. Are
other S3 cards having the same problem? For now its also plain old VGA for 
me

     I have a greater concern. When I switched to 1024x768 I could no longer
see anything. Since the NT setup is 100% graphical I had no choice than
reinstalling ALL of NT. Windows 3.1 does not have this problem since
it supplies a character based setup.exe. It has been very useful in the past.
     Is MicroSoft considering such character based (probably DOS based)
setup program to at least get you out of corners.

I assume all the environment variables, such as INIT, etc., are
described in the documentation.  Can someone tell me where in the
documentation to look for them?  Also is there some kind of master
index, or some easy way to search the documentation?

And is there an explanation somewhere of all the initialization files,
such as autoexec.bat, telling which files get read when, etc.?  For
example, I noticed it seems to execute autoexec.bat the first time I
run a non-windows program after starting the command shell, and that
if I exit the command shell and invoke it again, it will execute
autoexec.bat the next time I run a non-windows program again, but only
for the first non-windows program of each command shell.  That seems
a little strange, so I want to read that chapter, and my question now
is how do I find that chapter?

I also noticed that it doesn't execute the login script file I give
it for a user.  I assume it should execute that file at login, and I'm
wondering if anyone reading this has succeeded in making that work.
(I put the filename in the "Login Script Name" field of the "User
Environment Profile" window and the path where that file is located
in the "Local Path" field of that window.)

Borland is working on both NT & OS/2 compilers.  I would guess that their 
development priorities have by now shifted from OS/2 over to NT so we
should be able to get our hands on a NT & WIN32S compiler possibly in the
first half of '93.

Does NT provide the NDIS interface to DOS clients?  If it does then why

What part took you so long? It takes me about 1/2 hour to get NT up and
running, most of this time is the CD-ROM I/O.
NT is not intended to be set up by the casual user.  Though there's another
version coming soon after that is supposed to be closer to that goal.
You do realize that you're running the _first_beta_drop_?
Areas like, ease of install, and certainly documentation will change

Well if you run on a system that doesn't have enough memory, what do you
expect?  I run NT on a 386/33 with no problem, the difference is that I
have 20 megs of memory.  While the current version of NT will boot in
8 megs, 16 megs is still recommended (again see the release notes).
