Microsoft has had a consistent story for NT since at least January: it's for
high-end applications and servers, while Windows-16 will continue to exist
and be developed for low-end machines, such as portables and pen machines.

  Yes, for the client side Microsoft will provide the next version of Windows
 for
  DOS (3.2 or 4.0 or Windows for Workgroup ?). This version will be binary
  compatible with all 32 bit intel hosted NT applications.

Win32s (think S as in SUBSET) will permit 32-bit intel-hosted NT applications
which use only a specified subset of the Win32 API to run on 386-and-above
Windows 3.1-and-later machines.  It won't run all NT applications, and it
(at last count, according to Microsoft) only requires 3.1, not later releases.

Hi everybody!


I'm a student of Computer Science (at Jagiellonian University in Cracow,Poland)
and a begginer in Windows programming. Sometimes trying to solve a problem
I feel like in a dense and dark forest.
I'll be really thankful if somebody helps me to answer two questions:

1. How to  scale fonts to realize WYSIWYG using DotMatrix printer.

2. How to build MDI child windows with their own menus.

If you are going to use inkjet printers, you have to be careful about the
type of paper you use.  One that has a high clay content seems not to
bleed or smear (that is if you wait a bit for the ink to dry).  We had
them and got rid of them because they were a pain.

In response to the inkjet question, they are handy little gadgets if you need
a tiny little guy to carry around with you (although I still don't think that
an ink jet would be my first choice.)  They have some serious downfalls.  The
text seems to always bleed (the edges are always fuzzy) and if you use the
terribly expensive paper it tends to smudge.  The printheads clog easily, and
the ink cartridges get very few pages per shot.  Of course this is my own
opinion and you don't have to take it to heart.  But I would go with a laser
anyday!!!!!!!

I agree with the posting about Lotus Organizer having a nice call logging
facility.  I would add that Organizer is a stand-alone program (not an
AmiPro add in, although each program has a door to the other, via
smarticons).

Whether the program is worth the approximately $100.00 cost is another
matter.  I used it religiously for about three weeks, and I expect to be
removing it from my hard drive any day now.  However, if I had an extensive
need to keep logs of phone calls, I might have a different opinion.

well I really don't know whats hapening, but try the following :

Fist - In any case make a backup, your last may be a little old and
now is a good time ....

Second - Run a surface test like Norton Disk Doctor or PC Tools. Did you get
errors, which were not already marked in the FAT ? DON'T correct for errors
this will mark them in your FAT as unusable

Third - SmartDrive, Stacker and most propably SSTOR have a swich for dubble
buffering. With some SCSI drives this is required. Smart drive has to be
installed as device driver in config.sys AND executed in autoexec.bat for
dubble buffering. Stacker by default does it, so eventually ommit /ND (no
dubble buffering). SStore I don't use so I don't know.

Fourth - Run surface test again. Did you get the same errors like before then
try without running Smart drive. On my drive I solved the problem not with
dubble buffering but simply not running Smart drive. It costs nothing but a
little time to do a surface test without runnig the cache.
I had no marked clusters in the FAT and the errors reported by Norton
Disk Doctor disapeared and so far the drive is working fine now.
If you have Bad clusters in your fat I think the only way will be deleting
the compressed drive, reinstalling it an restoring. Or live with your bad
clusters

It's all in the manual!
You needn't convert WFN's to TT as they come in both flavours.
To alter a character, you do something like:-
  1. make a copy of the font for safety
  2. Type the character and size it to 720 points (ie large)
  3. make the alterations to it.
  4. export it to the font

But read the manual!

That Ctrl-d is really a caret d.  Two characters. The caret is the character

I checked out our Omnipage manual and found landscape orientation and the

I have done it using Ami Pro. I personally prefer the
blank postcards that come setup for a tractor-fed printer.
Basically I remove the tearoffs and seperate into three
attached cards. Then create two legal-length documents
with three frames, each the size of a postcard (plus
margins [rt, lf, top, btm]). One document is the front
and one is for the back. The only problem is to remember
to feed the second side in correctly (depends on which
printer you are using). You create X amount of cards in
batches of 3. 

A quicker solution is use something like Avery Label Pro,
buy their postcards, and print them out. I don't use
this method because of the limitations on output --
mostly text only, limited selection, size and placement
of text, etc.

Remember laser printers produce ozone in high concentrations.  This can be
hazardous to your health.

Channel-1 is a large and active BBS running PC-Board, and is located
in Boston, Mass., USA. I have belonged to it for several years, and have
found it to be an excellent source for Windows-related files, including
new drivers, bugfixes, utilities, and fonts galore (both Type 1 for ATM,
and TrueType).

I first started using the BBS as it had the best collection of TeX
software anywhere, and an active TeX conference, chaired by Jon Radel
(anyone familiar with TeX will know who Jon Radel is). Lately, the TeX
conference has fallen off, possibly due to the increase in capability of
packages like W4W, AmiPro, Aldus, and Ventura. However, the BBS itself
is booming, having recently passed the 2,000,000 caller mark (they award
prizes for each millionth caller).

Access lines to the BBS support V.32bis, Courier HST, and other high-
and low-speed modem types, and they have a phenomenal number of nodes,
so a busy signal is a rare occurrence.

And now that everyone has read the ad, the phone number is:

          (617) 354-8873.

That is the public access number, via which you can sign up for
membership. Other access lines are usually restricted to members only.

Standard disclaimer applies -- I have no financial interest in the BBS,
other than as a very satisfied customer.
