Subject:      STB New Video Card Problems..

        Here Goes,
                I've tried out the new Video Card By STB(Simply The Best) the ca
rd was a blaze
 r, the redraw speed beats even the Redraw speed of a
 macintosh (by a long shot)  the card allows me to flip through windows faster t
 han i can Type <alt-esc> repitiously (ok I cant spel
l or capitilize in standard english).  anyway i've seen a speedstar24x and it is
  a slow card compared to this little speed monster.
        ok here's the problem.  The Card Hangs up the mouse every time I run Sol
itare,
 Paint, and a few other Graphic games.  Granted I pre
fer the keyboard, but some things are better left to a mouse.  The card resets o
 nce I exit windows. but that's not what windows was
intended for.  I have the standard line
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE noems x=A000-C7FF
in my config.sys file, anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem.?

P.S. Mail me the solution if you have one, in addition to posting it, (I don't g
 et on the bullitens often enough (we purge every 4 d
ays).

Hi,

Here is a little fact about Windows 3.0 and 3.1...
If Windows finds a WINSTART.BAT in its directory, it executes it just after
displaying the Windows logo...

Anything you can do in batch file, you can do in this one. It's up to you to
determine it's usefulness...

So, that's all for this year. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year and see you next year on WIN3-L.

True.

I believe that the pricing of PC's will follow much the same trend as they
did when the 486 was introduced.  The Pentium PC's will come out priced in
the $10,000-$15,000 range, primarily for use as servers and will initially
have little impact on the price of 486's and 386's.  Eventually, however, as
happened with 286's, the 386's will be pushed out the bottom of the market
and the 486sx will become the "entry level" system.  This may happen a little
faster this time than it did with the 486.  An article I read recently said
that the introduction of the 686 chip is going to be about 2 years from the
introduction of the 586. While the time from  80286 to 80386 and 80386 to
80486 have been right around 4 years.

  Who can tell me something about the Microsoft SDK for Windows? Is
  this included in Microsoft C 6.0 or 7.0 ?? I think there is a special
  version included in Windows NT!

It is included in C 7.0, but not in C 6.0.  The Win32 SDK is included
in Windows NT.

We have omniPage Professional Version 2.0 and like it very much.
It can be set to do custom character recognition; it is quite trainable,
not as much as the best Xerox Kurzweil, but it doesn't cost $20,000 either;
$649 is a good mailorder price. We use it with HP ScanJet Plus scanners.
It can also read various fax formats, as well as PCX, and Un/Compressed
TIFF Types II, III, IV and Packbits; that is it could read your PCX
or TIFF files scanned with your hand-held scanner; we have used the LogiTech
Scanman 256 hand-held scanner. ominPage Professional V2 comes with a very
nice graphics editor. --- Ed Garay

Subject:      QEMM...A Performance Hit?

Greetings!

All this talk about QEMM affecting performance negatively has prompted me to
perform what little benchmarking I'm capable of.  I used WinTach under Windows
to assess video performance and Norton's Sysinfo under DOS (_not_ a DOS shell
under Windows, but real DOS) to assess overall performance under DOS.  The
results were:

        |QEMM with EMS support | QEMM without EMMS support | No QEMM
WinTach |No HIMEM.SYS          | No HIMEM.SYS              | Use HIMEM.SYS
===============================|===========================|==============
WordProc|  8.78                |  9.15                     |  9.18
CAD/Draw| 19.06                | 19.46                     | 19.34
Sprdsht | 16.12                | 16.43                     | 16.34
Paint   | 15.15                | 15.28                     | 15.28
==========================================================================
SI,     |                      |                           |
Overall | 72.9                 | 72.6                      | 73.1

These were run on a 486DX2/50 with 8 meg of ram.  The config.sys was
definitely _not_ vanilla, however, all things were kept the same except for
the parameters in the table.  Note that the benchmark differences were very
small.

As I have stated before, QEMM is a complex memory manager with more parameters
than one can confidently shake a stick at, and one that I don't begin to
understand completely.  One thing that I do know about memory is that extended
memory access is faster than expanded memory access, which may account for
some of the differences seen here, and some of the differences mentioned in
other postings.  I have little doubt that a properly configured system running
QEMM will suffer very little performance degradation.  What little degradation
may be present should be more than offset by the increase in available RAM.
Until Ross Perot comes out with a memory manager (and better charts and graphs
than I've given you) I'll stick with QEMM.

Actually, I think this person may be describing the Procomm for Windows
screen that you get when you have a smaller font.  If you increase the size
of the font being used by the program, then you will automatically get a 
larger screen.  The small font is very difficult to read and imho, one of the
major flaws of the program.  It seems like the program was written for those
who had SVGA, forgetting about the rest of us who just have plain old VGA.

No, Intel never tries to reduce demand, after all, that's what allows
the price of a processor to stay at over $500, although non-PC processors
of equal or better processing power sell for a fraction thereof.

The 386SX is not a crippled 386DX, but a chip with only 16 external
data lines, aimed at lower cost systems (a smaller footprint allows
much cheaper packaging (PLCC) - thus it makes some technical sense.
It was also aimed at killing the 286 market, AMD's corner, by allowing
386 code to run on a price competetive system.

The 486SX is purely a creation of Intel's marketing dept., and when first
introduced was only reluctantly accepted. It is indeed a crippled 486DX,
but allowed Intel to sell a chip to compete against the recently arrived
AM386 on price, while leaving the price of their cash cow (486DX) at a
premium level.

Not enhanced mode, but it is in standard mode.  You need to allocate
memory to your vcpi application by giving it to emm386.

1.  make sure you are in the windows directory or have a path to the

2.  type 'win'
3.  if you don't get even the windows logo try removeing your TSRs
    from your autoexec and config files (memory managers, screen and
    mouse drivers are ok) and try to run windows again. Reinstall the TSRs
    one at a time until the load fails. This will tell you the guilty TSR.
4.  if the above doesn't work try reinstalling the windows program.

Professional".  However, I have two problems with it.

   1.  The images it creates are 16-color images, apparently.  I don't
       need that, I just need 2-color images (black & white).
       Sixteen-color images take 4 times the memory/disk space as 2
       color images.

   2.  It first captures to its own buffer.  You then have to select
       "copy to clipboard" from its menu, and then, finally manually
       clear its buffer.  I don't like the extra steps.  (I have a
       program called Nikon II that is perfect in this regard, but it is
       for OS/2, not Windows)


I'm involved in a project to create documentation for a DOS-based
program, and we need to include numerous and frequent screen pictures of
the program as we illustrate step-by-step procedures.  The sheer number
of pictures needed is why the speed of capture is desired (point 2
above) and the cumulative size of the document/picture files has been
a problem in prior efforts (point 1 above).

Thanks for any assistance.

        I use Stacker 1.0, far from the newest version, with Windows 3.1
every day, and I have never run into any compatibility problems.  Stacker
3.0, in fact, contains a suite of Windows Utilities for controlling thew
compression software!

        What Stacker does is it creates a file for itself on the original
disk, then installs a device driver which creates a new drive letter
which, when written to, writes compressed data into the file.  The overall
effect is that of having another drive ~twice the size of the stacker
file.

        As far as removeing it goes, the new version of stacker comes with
a program that does this without eraseing the data on the stacked drive.

        Before you buy, however, it might be worth waiting for MSDOS 6.
This supposedly include SuperStore's compression software, Norton
Antivirus, and other utilities.

                        Hope this helps,
                                -Ken
