I am making a program in Windows 3.1 using TPW 1.5 and BC++&AF 3.1 with  
Borland's Resource Workshop.  I can't figure out how to do these "simple"  
things:
* would like to display 256 color bitmaps from a resource.
* also would like to display 256 color 64x64 and 32x32 icons from a
  resource
* use 256 color bitmaps and icons in a dialog box (both "plain Windows"
  and "BorDLG")
* Implement drag and drop within a window- Like Excel or Word for Windows
  (All my documentation says how to do it with File Manager onto the icon)
* Background music- I have the source for WinPlay- but I can't compile it
  under BC++ 3.1.

Please e-mail any ideas to me.
Thanks for any help...

You might want to check your facts. Acoording to all the discussions

Caller-ID provides a way to control access to one's home, enabling one
to maintain their privacy. Outlawing Caller-ID takes from a person
this ability.

A friend of mine had read this in some advanced technology magazine a
while back. Apparently there was an idea tossed around to facilitate
identification of persons and such through the implantation of bar codes
into people's wrists, which would contain useful info such as social
security number, bank accounts, driver's license numbers and other
similar info. Obviously, the idea hasn't come close to fruitition, but
even the thought of something like that makes one want to move to
Bolivia. Money would become useless, or at least mostly outdated, as all
transactions would be conducted by running one's hand across a reader,
which would then check a database for the necessary information, as in
the Money Acces Cards so popular around here. Police could ID someone by
running a reader across one's wrist, and immediately know the person's
name, residence, and any criminal history. The benefits are there, but
it's still a really scary idea. Let's hope that it never passes the "you
know, this would be a good idea" stage, as, like I said, it was only a
proposition, without any actual backing that I am aware of. But then
again, government technologies are estimated at around ten years ahead
of public technology, so, for all we know, this could be a developed
idea still in the testing stage. Like I said, I certainly hope not.

Could you or anyone tell me how, without using Caller-ID, someone
could choose not to listen to such a caller?  Only Caller-ID provides
this ability, people want this ability (how many million peep-holes
are sold each year), and hence people want Caller-ID. Unfortunately
they have a gauntlet of anti-privacy people to deal with.

My guess is that this is quite legal, as long as it's not done with the
intention of defrauding the phone company.  If you owe the telco a lot
of money in unpaid charges, and if you try to set up a phone arrangement
under an assumed name as a way of avoiding having to pay those charges,
then that'd probably constitute fraud and would be illegal.

I recall reading a few years ago that the laws on changing your name say
that you don't have to give a reason for doing so - you don't have to
justify to a judge that your desire is "reasonable" - it's just not
legal to change your name in order to defraud someone.

Simply using an assumed name as a way of avoiding contact with an
abusive spouse who works for the telco certainly seems like a reasonable
approach.  It's probably safer than having a friend (who already has a
phone) set up a second line and handle the billing... if the husband is
clever enough he might think to check the records for his wife's friends
and pull the service-address information.

It certainly couldn't hurt for the wife to request a restraining order
against the husband, if she hasn't done so already.  Restraining orders
may not keep her husband from harrassing her, but they can give her some
legal leverage if he does so (a weekend in jail might persuade her
husband to think three times before violating the restraining order a
second time).

Good luck, lady, wherever you are!

It depends on just exactly what he does and who he knows at the phone
company but this is not a good situation. Just having a phone in a
fictious name will only help for a short period of time if her husband
has unrestricted access to the bills. It's not at all difficult to check
who all her friends/relatives call and check every one of those numbers.
The name that would come back would not be hers but he could always call
and see if she answers. Possibly getting an answering machine as well with
someone else's voice on the tape would be of benefit. 
 
This is a pretty complicated situation and I don't know what state this is in, t that does affect how things would be handled.

That's an easy one.  Just add a PIN to your phone number, and give the PIN
out only to those people that you want to have it.  Your phone will answer
and play a message like "enter extension number", and if they get it
correct ring the phone.  You can have wrong numbers transfered to an 
answering machine, or just have the machine hang up on them.

This scheme provides more control than caller ID and doesn't require you to
give out your number when you call businesses.

Heath sells such a machine.  Some answering machines do something close. 
More devices are sure to appear over time, as people come to realize the
privacy implications of caller ID.

> Unfortunately they have a gauntlet of anti-privacy people to deal with.

It's the pro-privacy people that are against the uniform registering of
personal data with businesses.

It's hard to fake an address and get phone service.
Remember, the phone company needs to know exactly where
to wire the phone.  The real issue appears to be his
access to actual call information, and ability to trace
her whereabouts from friends' calling patterns.  This
misuse of information, by the way, would be cause for
dismissal.  I would think that a court order and 
a discreet discussion with the phone company
about her options might be appropriate.  Carolyn Todd

No, I mean the folks trying to keep me from having Caller-ID and preventing

	So people who are anti-Caller-ID are anti-privacy?  That seems
