Steve,

I downloaded V.041 yesterday and attempted to install it tonite.  I
finally noticed something curious that was always there, but didn't
register before.  Before MAKENEO was run, DOS showed 23,740,416 bytes
total disk space on my drive F:  (NOTE: I was unable to run NEOCHECK
F: -- it kept saying "unable to open data file on F:" or words to that
effect.)  I then ran MAKENEO 0 F: F:  That ran ok, and then I made sure
that the new NEODISK was available in the boot drive.  I then rebooted
with the statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT un-rem'd; C:\NEODISK.EXE f: -o

The boot up routine, when it got to the NEODISK statement, reported
47,465,472 bytes available, 4,304,896 (9.0%) bytes used (!!??), and
43,160,576 bytes free.  I haven't loaded anything onto the drive!  Where
did this "data" come from?  Running a DIR shows nothing.  This made me
realize that I was getting the same information when the drive was full
of data - about 22 megs worth.  Did I show that in the data file I sent
to you?  I can't remember.

Next I tried to RESTORE the files to the drive, and the RESTORE failed
very early in the first disk (out of 13 disks). I thought it was a
problem with PCTOOLS' CPBACKUP (Version 7.1), but it just occurred to me
that maybe there is something fishy with the NEODISK.F file, so I will
go back and attempt to RESTORE to another partition.  I will be back!!


Later..........

Well, it's a good thing I went back and tested that.  The backup was
just fine.  I cannot write to the new NEODISK file.  I ended up putting
back V.031, and then was able to do a full RESTORE.  Also, when NEODISK
started up in AUTOEXEC.BAT, it showed 0 bytes used, (0.0%), 47,465,472
bytes available.

You know, when I said, above, that the RESTORE failed, it really
"switched off" very suddenly.  I tried it several times.  When the
RESTORE program reached track 41 on the first disk, PCTOOLS instantly
switched back to the main menu (DOS version).  In the WINDOWS version,
it switched off WINDOWS! and went back to DOS - I mean instantly!! like
a light switch.

Regards,
Todd

I wouldn't consider anything less than a 386/33 for playing Wing Commander
or Ultima Underworld,  and Origin does not write for Macs.
Many of the new games require a 386 and lots of disk space.
Wing Commander II takes up 20 megs.  Sound boards like the Sounblaster
are quite cheap and common.  However, I tend to use my PC for serious
work most of the time (dialing into work, word processing, and programming).

I'd like to mention two things here. I work with a number of different
operating systems every day, including: DOS, Windows, Windows/NT, OS/2
 (1.3.1 and 2.0), and UNIX. Each different OS has different benifits 
and drawbacks.

I'd never think of using one of my OS/2 machines to do some of my work,
and I'd never try and run my SQL server on a DOS box. (not that I even
could. . .). Each has it's uses.

Second, What do you mean by "high end machine?". I've got some DOS
boxes around here with windows that might well blow the doors off
alot of their competitors, but if I put it up against a Multiprocessor
RISC box, they'd look like an AMC Pacer.

If you're going to make a broad generalization, at least offer some sort
of fact or SOMETHING to back it up. "Slamming" an OS for the sake of
"slamming" dosn't do anyone any good. If, on the other hand, you prove
that OS/2 or UNIX is better for something, then present that, as well as how
you discovered that info.

That's useful.

Wrong. Go to your local software store and see which section has the
most games: PCs. Hands down. What platform to most game publishers
put games out for first: PCs. Because that is where the money is.
While most PCs don't have a game port or sound standard, $100 or less
remedies that situation quite nicely.

The only tool I've heard is Visual basic from microsoft

Hi everyone,

    I have a problem with my Soundblaster Pro and Windows 3.1.  I have
installed the latest sound drivers for the SBPro and I have assigned
various sounds to different windows events.  Everyone works fine except
when I try to exit Windows.  The sound plays but then when it's finished
all I get out the the SBPro is noise.  I even tried not having a
shutdown sound but it still makes noise.  It is a very annoying noise
and the only way to  stop the noise is to turn the computer off.

    If it helps I have a:

    Gateway 2000 386/33
    Diamond Star SVGA adapter with 1MB ram.
    4MB ram


    Thanks in advance!

Give pub/pc/win3/fonts/cmps1_33.zip on ftp.cica.indiana.edu a try. It lets
you use fairly mnemonic keystrokes for this kind of thing. For instance, 
typing 'n' and '~' creates the n-tilde character. This applet works for many
Windows apps. Even though I wrote this app, I can't quite recall if the V1.33
filename mentioned above is the latest version or not.

  .(640x480x16) driver.  What's going on?

CM.The zip files I tried using were TSG40627 (Win3.0 basically), W31ET4, and
  .ET4_W31.  I'm using Win3.1 so the TSG40627 file was useless.  Actually,
  .everything was useless.  Either I would get divide overflow errors or I
  .would get (during installation) that a VGAxx.DRV could not be loaded.  I
  .placed the DRV's in every conceivable location.

CM.I am trying to do this from a network - but so what?  It should still work.
  .What's the word on getting more colors and higher resolution with TSENG
  .ET4000 drivers?

I was able to download new drivers from the Microsoft BBS.  You might
want to try that route.  The BBS number is 206-637-6735.  They have
quite a variety of different drivers available.  Another route would be
to contact your SVGA board manufacturer and request updates. In my case
I was able to get free upgrades from Diamond Computers for my Stealth
VRAM board - no fuss.

Regards,
Todd

There are a couple of options that I know of:

	1)  The Microsoft Multimedia Development Kit includes a program
	called CONVERT.  It offers AIFF as one of its options for source
	files.  Having never used its conversion filter I cannot comment
	on whether or not it works though.
	
	2)  I released a freeware (though not PD) program called "To Wave"
	that will add a Wave file header to _any_ input file.  The input
	file doesn't even have to be a sound :-)  You basically just select
	the appropriate flags for the output file (e.g. 11Khz, 8bit, Mono)
	and select the files that you want converted.  It is available
	on Compu$erve in the WINADV forum and it should be a short
	download.
	
	"To Wave" isn't the best solution in the world but it works for any
	source format as long as the original sound isn't at a sampling rate
	other than 11, 22, or 44Khz or compressed.

P.S.  Maybe somebody else knows if "To Wave" has been made available for 
FTP somewhere.  I don't have access myself.
