Does anybody know a way to export a file containing text and sections
made up from the Eqn editor and Draw, in the W4W package, to Mac Word 4.
I've used the RTF filter and the filter for converting W4W files to Mac
Word files, but these only convert the text and not the Equations.

Also is there any program about that will convert a W4W file into a
poscript file that I can transfer to the sequent here at the comp centre
and print on the resisdent agfa ps printer.

Thanks in advance.

I was in the same position several months ago.  After using MS Terminal for
a while, I tried out CrossTalk for Windows and Procomm Plus for Windows.  I
*really* liked the latter, and have now been using it for almost two months.
I'm a very happy camper.

-> An easy way to illustrate this

Actually, not quite true. With virtually all MS software I've seen, you *can*
install from write-protected disks. When the install program bitches about the
write protection, hit CANCEL. You may have to do this a couple of times.
Eventually, the install program will take the hint and continue merrily on its
way, *without* having messed with the floppy.

Another option is to copy the disks first, and install from the copy. **Never**
install any software from original disks without write-protection. If the
software is copy-protected to the point of *insisting* on writing to the
original floppy, then (IMHO) you should return it and buy software that is not
copy protected.

As I stated earlier, there is a bug-fix upgrade to Corel 3.0B for
CD-ROM users.  Also as I guessed, it is a subversion update.

The Version # is 3.0 Rev. B-A.

The dates on the files are 7/01/92.

If you need to order it, call Corel and ask for Part #:SW-464-UPDTE-E3.

This is not rumor.  This is not speculation.  I have the disc.

Date: 4 Oct 92 20:14:03 GMT

I'm not sure if this is the correct area, so please don't scold me if it
isn't.  Anyway, here goes.  At work I'm using Windows 3.1 on a 386/33dx.  
Anyway, we're using 3c503 cards which are directly hooked up to the Internet.
To make a long story short,  we're using a program called Exceed/W that
runs on the PC and produces graphics that are pulled down from a unix machine.
Anyway, while this program is running, if I run FTP2.05, the windows just
hangs there for about 30 secs and then says host unreachable or whatever and 
will never connect.  Our 3c503 cards can support up to 15 connections, so 
I know it's not the card.  There is one catch with this EXCEED/W program,
I have to add a line to the system.ini [386enh] section that reads
device=c:\direc\dir\vpctcp.386  - it seems that when this driver is loaded,
Exceed/w runs smoothly, but my DOS telnet doesn't.  Is there anyway I can
correct this problem?  Can I move this program to a different area in memory
or something...please help i'm desperate!

The VERY best thing you can do to speed things up is install a disk cache.
I've heard that (ahem) "Smart"drive has improved somewhat, but I use
SuperPCKwik, and it works GREAT. My 486/33 w/ 8MB RAM and 330MB Microp.
loads NDW in a little over 10 seconds.

There's no need to delete the cell! If the result you want is what you
picture, then all you need to do is select that cell, then set the left
and top borders to "none", and leave the cell empty. If you happen to 
change your mind later on, "restoring" the cell is a snap.

Alternatively, I think that when you delete the cell you are given the
option of shifting cells or not; you can try it!

It has no difficulty at all...just remember that if you create and compile an
application under 3.1, it will more than likely choke under 3.0 (unless you take precautions and act as if it is under 3.0.....like fonts, dlls, etc.)

HELP!


I'm creating a series of spreadsheets by linking data from a SQL database
through Forest & Trees v2.0d.   I have the Views done and am working on the
Excel 3.0  spreadsheet.  Whenever I put two or more DDE links from a
spreadsheet to F&T save/load/save then try to re-load the second time I get a
UAE in EXCEL.  But, while I have it in memory and have not saved it yet
it works fine.  All the links work, and everything seems fine.  Until I save
it, then try to re-load.  

I've tried this on different computers with the Excel 3 and Excel 4, Windows
3.0 and 3.1.   I don't know what else to try.  

Where should I look for the problem.  Forest & Trees or Excel.


This is very frustrating having to re-create the sheet each time.  I hope that
someone will have a answer...

Subject: Ami Pro 2.0-Printing color bitmaps
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 92 16:02:01 MDT
Organization: Edmonton Remote Systems #1, Edmonton, AB, Canada

Is it possible to print out color bitmaps in frames in Ami Pro 2.0? I have a
Star NX-2420 Rainbow printer, and I'm using the Epson LQ-860 color 24 pin
driver.

The problem is, when I try to print out a color bitmap, Ami greyscales it
automatically; other colored elements, like text, frames, and vector graphics
print out fine, but bitmaps don't work. Even if I paste in art from Aldus
Freehand, that has a combination of vector graphics and bitmaps, the vector
will print in color, but the bitmap prints in greyscale.

Does anyone know a fix for this, or if Ami 3.0 will print color bitmaps? (I
plan to upgrade soon...)

	I Like it, it doesn't have all the wiz-bang features of Designer 
(I have both on my machine) But I like the Look and Feel of Draw Better. It
appears that the GUI may be a little more "Windows" oriented than Designer.
The .DRW file are completly compatable with Designer and IT does support
true-type fonts.

UC Berkeley uses CUTCP, which is an adaptation of
NCSA telnet. As far as I know it is public domain
and available by anonymous ftp from NCSA; I don't
have the address of NCSA's ftp site with me now,
however. Since our internet connection isn't
quite up yet, I haven't used CUTCP. But I've used
NCSA telnet extensively on a Macintosh. It's a fine
program. (NCSA is the National Center for Supercomputing
Applications at the University of Illinois.)

Microsoft Mail is an electronic mail package for intra and, through gateways
inter-network communication.  I've never used it, but I hear it's pretty good.

HOWEVER, you will not receive a copy of it with your Microsoft Office.  You
will receive a licence to use Mail on your PC if the Mail server in installed
on your network server.  The Mail server costs ~$700.  Office is still a good
buy without Mail.

Does anybody know of any utility for playing CD's from a CD ROM drive
under windows? I have tried CDAUDIO but it consistently fails (on
several machine types) with a Philip CD-50 external CD ROM drive givinhg
an error about invalid status from call to MSCDEX. I am using the
latest (2.21?) version of MSCDEX. The interface is proprietary so 
something like Corel's SCSI kit won't work.


The supplied DOS utility works fine but is a little basic.

Thanks
