[Not to beat this to death, but...]

Oops!  Even if (1) & (2) were implemented, one would still want (3).
Consider:  I have application A loading first and running in fast RAM and
application B loading second and "running" in slow RAM.  But I don't want
application B "running" in slow RAM at all!  (It would be more likely
"crawling.")  I would want it residing in swap--whether on physical or
RAM disk--and trading places in fast memory with application A as I switch
from one to the other.  I would want to force swapping by restricting
ordinary program space to the fast RAM and devoting the slow RAM to other
purposes (RAM disk, disk cache, whatever).  And, again, the swapping would
go faster with a RAM disk compared to a physical disk.

I hope any new version of Windows gives me all three capabilities.

I would assume it would include the same kinds of NDIS drivers that
Microsoft Lan Manager uses.(although I haven't seen much of Work 
Groups yet..)  There is a piece of free software called DIS_PKT9.dos
that lets you run apps like QVT/NET, NCSA Telnet over an NDIS driver.

stuff deleted

To the best of my knowledge and from personal experience you can NOT
run two protocol stacks at the same time on the same adapter. I was
once trying to get PC-NFS and QVT/NET to run simultaneously (as were
many others) and failed. It may work for a while but eventually one
application hogs all the packets and the other is starved. The packets
not destined for the other app are tossed out, not passed through.

QVT/NFS finally came out, complying with the PC-NFS protocol (using
NDIS and WD 8003).

I have read various articles about a Win TCP/IP standard in the
works with Microsoft et al backing it. It would seem that they are
looking to implement a DLL for TCP/IP calls in Windows, thus limiting
applications compatibility DLL calls. 


Anyone heard anything new about this initiative?

If WFW 2.0x is anything like the Macintosh counterpart, the autosave DOES NOT
save to the document you have open.  It saves changes to a temporary file which
is kept in either the Windows temp directory or the Winword directory.  

I may be mistaken, but if Microsoft has taken any of the good qualities the Mac
version has (and there are quite a few) it would have taken this one.

     Formatting a DC2120 tape takes about 2 hours on the Jumbo 250.

I have been working with 6 by 6 matrices in WinWord 2.0 using the
equation editor.  This works fine while in the editor but when I
insert the equation into a document there is far too much space above
the matrix.  The matrix is about 2 inches tall but the the blinking
line cursor associated with it is more than 3 inches tall. 

Can the space above the matrix be removed?  This extra space is not
part of the resize box or the preceding paragraph.
It's as though word is thinking of the matrix as a single lowercase
character and is leaving space for uppercase characters.

What CorelDraw wants is a file structured according to the Adobe
Document Structure rules.  AI does it.  CorelTrace does it.  Most
other apps do not.  

There is a commercial app in beta test now that will convert non-conforming
PS into conforming PS/EPS files.  I forget the name, but cost is 
supposed to be around $130.  It has been widely discussed on the 
CompuServe Corel and Adobe fora.

Hear, hear!  It seems to me that a competant Windows hacker could fix
up the interface in about half an hour.  Of course, I think this
because I am not one :-)  But I am thinking of something like the
interface in the latest version of MicroEmacs for Windows:  major
program functions are available as menu commands.

Has anybody out there gotten fed up enough with GSWIN to do this?  I
have a PIF set up for sending GhostScript output to my DeskJet500
(lets me use plain GS in a DOS window in 386 mode).  But the PIF
format doesn't allow specifying some parameters while still prompting
for others.  So I still have to use the awkward syntax to specify a PS
file.  Has anyone found a better solution?

After seeing a Microsoft ad for FoxPro (with a future Windows-version tease),
I phoned Microsoft to complain that I had received no notification
of said item and was pretty ticked as I was a bonafide, registered user,
non-pirate, blah, blah, blah.  The VERY, VERY (did I say VERY) friendly
rep told me that my registration may not have transferred from the
previous owners of Fox and thus she took my registration info over the
phone for my copy of FoxPro.  Less than three (3) days later, I received
the latest updates of FoxPro via FEDERAL EXPRESS at no charge whatsoever!
Needless to say, I was quite pleased...

I did a (4dos) DIR *.exe;*.dll;*.drv in my Windows directory and
in the system directory. This adds up to about 8 MB. I would expect
that all the device drivers for hardware I don't own - and which
aren't installed, because of that, easily add up to more than an
additional two MBytes - I'm to lazy to check. Anyway, 10 MBytes seems
to be a good approximation of the amount of code (including, of
course, resources) contained in the Windows package.
