Subject:      Re: 3 com ports

I had the same problem, until I did some playing around with my
modem.  Check the IRQ settings on your internal modem, you will
see IRQ-1, IRQ-3, and if you are as luckly as me IRQ-2, IRQ-5.

Now here's what I did.

1.      Change the IRQ jumper setting it to IRQ-5
2.      Activate the Windows Control Panel
3.      Select Ports
4.      Select COM4
5.      Select Settings
6.      Select Advanced...
7.      Change the IRQ setting to either 2 or 5
        depending on what you have set your internal
        modem's IRQ jumper too.
8.      Add the following lines to your system.ini file
        in the [386Enh] section.

        COMIRQsharing=false
        COM4Irq=5
        COm4Autoassign=2
        COM1BASE=3F8h
        COM2BASE=O2F8
        COM3BASE=O3E8
        COM4BASE=O2E8

========================

It worked for me..... Good Luck.

Does anyone know of an anonymous FTP site that carries .GIFs or .BMPs?  My

Something colorful ... since everything in my office is the color of boring
beige in some form or other.

Thanks for your help in advance .... you people are the greatest thing since

    As a neophyte Windows user who has reasonable familiarity with DOS-based
    macro processors such as SuperKey, I am embarrassed to admit that I cannot
    find in any of my Windows manuals a mechanism for creating an INTERACTIVE
    macro for a non-Windows application running under Windows.

RoseSoft, the company that made the old ProKey has a product that does
what you want in Windows.  I've forgotton the name of it, but I have

Subject:      TCP/IP drivers for Windows
X-To:         WIN3-L@UICVM.UIC.EDU

Greetings Netters -

Earlier today, someone sent a query about TCP/IP drivers for Windows.
Well, I would like to know about any shareware products for this also.
I have tried WinQVT/Net already.  Either the shareware packet driver
(Ethernet 3C503) or the Interrupt package that must accompany it, causes
my system to have some "BIZARRE HICKUPS" when they are installed.  I
think that NCSA Telnet also requires me to install the same driver in
order to talk to the net.  We are running the 3COM 3+Open lanmanager
v1.1 here.  The LAN group provided some drivers that allow me to use FTP
and terminal emulators.  The problem is that the drivers take up about
150 K of conventional memory and MUST be loaded BEFORE Windows.  Which,
of course, means I don't get to use that memory for anything else.
Which brings me to my question for the day: Are there any TCP/IP
shareware (or otherwise) utilities that will function inside Windows
where the memory can be handled a bit more constructively?

Background info:

    I have a 386/20 MHz machine running DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 with
    QEMM386 handling the high memory chores.  My machine has 8 meg of
    memory and it is equipped with an Etherlink II 3C503 network card.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist.

I can be reached at Johnson_Andrew@LANMAIL.ncsc.navy.mil if you wish to
post directly, otherwise just send it to the list... It'll get to me
just as effectively there and the info will probably benefit someone
else as well.  Thanks again.

                                                - Andrew

Hi Vince,
Does your HP laserjet have the Helvetica font carttridge or software font
downloaded? If the default font is Courier and Helvetica is not downloaed
to the printer the font will be substituted.
Try to print a Wordperfect document ( or any other document) in Helvetica
and see if the problem persists. If it does the defintely the font is not
present in the printer.

     /graphics/gif
There are a few index files, and then there are 26 sub directories

I'm having problems running communications programs in Windows 3.1
(enhanced mode) when an MSDOS prompt window is also in use.
Usually, Windows completely crashes and leaves me at a DOS prompt; if
I'm lucky, some presumably innocent program like Clock or Dr Watson
will be blamed for having triggered an Application Execution Error.
In other cases, the PC simply reboots.

The problem most often occurs when running a DOS communication
program like Procomm Plus 1.1a or FrontDoor in a DOS window. But
things also go wrong when I'm using a Windows communications program
(in my case MicroLink, Delrina WinFax Pro or BitFax) and doing some
work in a DOS session.

To solve the problem, I have switched the fax/modem to a different
COM port, have removed a redundant COM2, and experimented with most
of the COMx settings in SYSTEM.INI, but to no avail. Also, using an
external modem (with the fax modem removed) yields identical results,
whether it is on COM1 or COM2. I took care to avoid IRQ problems.

The computer I'm using is a (Dutch-made) Tulip 386/25 with 8 MB
memory, and a Phoenix BIOS dated somewhere in july 1990. It is not
connected to a network.

Questions:

1) Has anyone suffered from a similar problem?
2) Is there a solution?

NeXTSTEP (Mach microkernel, BSD, Display PostScript, etc, etc.) has been
doing this for years!  C'mon. Multitasking is NOT rocket-science, it's OLD
news.  It's time to start talking about the real deal: object oriented,
message-passing operating system, Display Postscript, CD-quality audio,
multi-media built in... NeXTSTEP includes object libraries for 3D rendering,
GUI DataBase applacations, ISDN, and more.  The award-winning applications
development environment is *amazing*!!!  Apple and IBM have teamed up to try
to produce something that smells like NeXTSTEP (Taligent) and say it's years
away, and NeXT are not standing still.  IBM have devoted a lot of their
resources to this project...  what will IBM expect of the people who
committed to OS/2 when they start peddling their next (no pun intended) OS??

If people were not so fixated on IBM and Microsoft, and instead interested
in solutions to computing problems, they'd be looking elsewhere.  NeXTSTEP for
Intel is coming available at the end of the year.  I've used it.  It's real.

My sincere opologies.  I can't help myself. ;-)  Flame me if you must.

    According to Microsoft, the printed documentation won't ship until August,
 so
    you're limited to the on-line HLP format and the PostScript source (looks
 like
    it was created with Ventura Publisher ;-) for documentation.

I went to the NT conference, and I have got my printed documentation
already.  It arrived about a week after I got back from the
conference.  It included a number of books that appeared to be
identical to the C/C++ 7.0 documentation.  It also included the
NT/Win32 version of the SDK documentation in 4 volumes.  It may be
available before you think!

Just thought I'd take a moment to update anyone who cares...the six

this is pretty relevant info for anyone who uses graphics much and

I think it's easy to make a window and place some EDIT_CONTROLS in it, just
like a table. Then you can add some SCROLL_BARS at the bottom or side.
And that's it. You can put your massages in the EDIT and scroll them up or
down. At every time you can find out the current position of your message.

But you must know how to make a windows-program, and you must have some
tools like SDK and a C Compiler...

Joe...thanks for asking...but no, the list did not help solve the
problem.  I still have a 2400 bps internal modem on COM2 and a multi-
port IO card using an ISA bus.  The first port is configured as COM1
and attached to a mouse.  The second port is configured as COM4 and
attached to a wire leading to a 9600 bps modem on the university's port
selector (which then connects me to one of the university mainframes).
The problem is that the AMI BIOS (according to Microsoft) reassigns COM4
to COM3, which shares an IRQ with my mouse on COM1.  This prevents me
from using the line to the university computer, at least when in WIN 3.1
What I am looking for is a kludge that will enable me to work around the
problem by fooling Windows.  Thanks for any help you have to offer.

If anyone else on the list has any suggestions, I would appreciate
receiving them.  Thanks.

     I don't think that either OS/2 2.0 or Windows 3.1 will die, beacause in a
recent article, IBM intended os/2 , not for small buisiness or hobbyist, but
for the budget of the Fortune 500, where IBM makes most of its profit.  Where
as the requirement for windows 3.1 are a lot more affordable.  It seems to me
that both will take there own market space, with only a limited competition.
     It seems that Windows 3.1 is a better choice for desktop system, and OS/2
is a better choice for "bigger" systems.
     The reason I say this, is beacause I can afford a reasonable setup for
windows, but there is almost no way that I can afford a setup fo OS/2.

I think I am going to have to mail my disk to someone who can upload
these drivers for me.  I'm still working on it--hang in there. :-)

Subject:      5.25" on a PS/2

Please excuse this "off topic" message but I need help fast and don't subscribe
to other lists.
    I have a model 70 which has an external 5.25" drive. There is no room for
 aninternal one on the PS/2's.  The user wants the 5.25" as a drive B, but when
 the driver is loaded for the drive in the config.sys it assigns the next
 logical
drive which is D.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Equipment : Model 70 -386
                5.25" floppy - Model 4869

In Windows programming, are there any SDK functions for file
manupulation? Such as "copy", "delete" in DOS.

Thanks for any suggestion.

I'd say never say never, but I also say, never say complete. As WIN 3.1 refuses
for example to run apps for WIN 286, due to a missing realmodeswitch or some-
thing adequate.
Another thing: it is not a question who will survive (WIN or OS2), probably both
will, each in its own space. The word, that OS2 will kill WIN is just as good as
MS's claim, that OS2 is to die. In the long term I feel, that we will be able to
choose our OS again, just like today you can get MS,PC or DR-DOS, CONCURENT DOS
or whatever fits your needs. In many parts I will be a matter of taste, as both
OS's will try to be as compatible as possible.
