Unless the you are using the I/O card com2 port, there is no reason you cannot assign
com2 to the modem.  You need to configure your I/O card such that com2 is disabled.

On some systems, this can be done with the CMOS setup program, with others you may
need to pop the hood, and place/remove a jumper on the I/O card in order to disable
the com2 setting.

To specify a different interrupt for com3 in win31, you can run the control panel for
ports, and choose setup for com3, then advanced.  Make sure that you choose an 
available interrupt channel, and that the base I/O address corresponds to that of
your modem.  I think this can be done via trial and error at worst.

HI! There is one thing about MS-Windows 3.1 that annoys me: I use shortcut
keys a lot, and when I have to set up a new one for a new application, I
have to choose a not used before shortcut key (obviously). Now, what I'd
like is to have a small program that showed all the shortcut keys in a
window. Sort of this:

 +--+-------------------------------------+
 +**+ Shortcut keys assigned:             |

Is there any easy (i.e., already made) way to do this. If not, how can I

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. You can create a bigger file but it 
doesn't use any more of it. However, if you change the PageOverCommit var.
to a value > 4, you change the Max. Recommended Size and can get even
bigger swapfiles.

As for the reason that the default value is 4, you would have to ask the 
MS gods. My personal guess would be that they rolled a dice. :)

available on the mirrors3/win3 directory on wustl, but they
don't work any better than the MX-80 driver I tried first.
The problem comes when trying to print in graphics mode.
I get a line of dots, then a blank line, then a line of dots,

space on the printout.  The dots that are printed look fine
except that the printed page is sliced horizontally.
Anyone out there have any ideas about what might

Organization: Michigan Technological University

If there are any Microsoft Windows developers which read this news
group, I would like to make a suggestion for the next version of
Windows...be it Win/NT, Win/32, or even Win4.0.

Currently in Win3.1, you can set name, shortcut key, working directory,
and even change the icon for each application within a group.  What I 
would like to see, in an attempt to keep the path= statement under 
its 127 character limit, and in an attempt to have less than 2K set 
aside for environment variables, would be to change the working directory
setting to a working PATH setting.  Allow for more than one directory to
be listed, with the first one on the list to be the current working 
directory.  This would allow every application to have there own specific
windows path, in addition to the dos path.

I realize that if more and more developers make there software package
more configurable via .ini settings, that this might not be all that
important of a request.  However, it sure would make it easier to have
a custom setup which alot of us are trying to accomplish...either in
an office environment or at a lab setting.  It would also resolve quite
a few network headaches too.

Just a request from one of their customers.

I don't think there will be a driver specificly for non-interlaced mode.
For non-interlaced stuffs, you should first setting up you video card
to non-interlaced mode and then get a non-interaced monitor (for horizontal
frequency >= 48kHz) and you will got a non-interlaced environment.

Well, you just confused the hell out of me.  The documentation with my
card says that you don't use ASPI4DOS.SYS when you're trying to run
the AHA-1740 in Enhanced Mode.  The driver you should be using is
called ASPIEDOS.SYS.  The ASPI4DOS.SYS is for AHA-154x boards and for
the AHA-174x cards running in Standard mode.

I have an Adaptec 1740 (with version 3.0 of ASPI4DOS and version 1.0
of ASPIEDOS) and it has worked like a hose in both Standard and
Enhanced modes.  The only problem I've had is getting it to play with
my Bernoulli.

Well, mine is a little bit different.  I use QEMM 6.03 instead of
HIMEM and EMM386, I use ASPIEDOS instead of ASPI4DOS, and I load
things with the Adaptec driver first, the QEMM driver second, and
everything else goes high.

Summary: Cannot get CMS to accept Windows terminal emulation of VT100
Keywords: windows terminal CMS RICEMAIL Fn Keys
News-Software: BNN via BNN_POST v1.0 beta

I want to connect to a CMS Machine (Running RICEMAIL) using the windows
TERMINAL window. I can connect with no difficulty (emulating a VT100),
but I cannot get it to accept either the Fn keys or any key as the PA2
key.  Suggestions?
