Subject: Procomm for Windows Tool Bar

Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1992 22:32:59 GMT

Hi,

I just used a utility called IconMaster to look at the icons embedded
in the Procomm for Windows EXE file, PW.EXE. The results brought up a
number of icons that are not part of the Procomm tool bar.

Two examples: There's an icon which shows part of a keyboard.
Presumably this was intended for a tool bar button to remap the
keyboard. There is also an icon with letters on it that looks like it
was intended as a tool bar button to change fonts.

I know there is a way to create temporary tool bars usind Procomm's
aspect language. In fact Datastorm even has a sample .WAS file on
their BBS called ICONBAR which will show you how to do this.

My questions is does anyone know a way to add the seemingly built-in
buttons to the existing Procomm tool bar so that they can operate as
short-cuts in the way suggested by the picture shown?

Thanks in advance,

Danny

Are you sure SPEED DISK "won't stop with the small, unstacked portion"?
The stacked portion of your hard drive is just one big hidden file on
the HOST drive.  I always thought that SPEED DISK would not touch hidden
files.  So you should be able to defrag the HOST drive with SPEED DISK
and it will ignore the (large) hidden file that is your stacked drive.

My impressions may be all wrong.  I came to my current state of understanding
by observation.  When I defragged my disk (with SPEED DISK, in the days
before I installed Stacker), I noticed that there were "unmoveable" files
sprinkled about my disk.  Being the curious type, I wanted to know why
they were unmoveable.  It turned out they were hidden files created
by Norton's IMAGE command and Central Point's ANTIVIRUS program.  Since
I was doing the SPEED DISK in preparation for Stacker installation, I didn't
care about the Norton IMAGE information.  I had removed Cental Point
ANTIVIRUS quite a while back, but that hidden file had been left laying
around (I forgot/didn't know it was there).  After removing these hidden
files, SPEED DISK defragged the whole disk and didn't mention these
unmoveable files anymore.

So my assumption was that SPEED DISK would not move a hidden file, and hence,
will not touch a Stacker drive *provided you are defragging the HOST drive*.

I may be wrong - I haven't defragged my host drive since installing Stacker.
I might be in for a rude awakening.  But I'll probably be adventurous - nightly
backups to tape tend to give you a boldness when trying new and different
things.  Any of you netters with experience in this matter please let me
know if this is a definite no-no.  I said "adventurous", not "stupid".

Actually I think if you register they will give you 
2.7. The next update on cica will probably be 2.8. 

I'm still using 2.2, since that is the last one with

WARNINGS:
I just got my WinTV card (its been on order for 3 weeks) and I was 
unpleasantly surprised at:

1. You have to order the video input cable as an Option (costs extra).

2. IT WILL NOT WORK (for video capture and other stuff) UNLESS YOU HAVE 
<15 MBYTES OF MEMORY (ISA strikes again), which is kind of hard to do 
when you only have 4x 4Mb sims (16Mbytes).  

3. It might not work with the ATI Graphics Ultra (I didn't get a picture, 
just a purple window and sound, but that might have been due to problem 2), 
I used the vga pass through cable, because the Ultra doesn't have a feature 
connecter, and I did try it with the MS VGA driver, the ATI 640x480x16/256 
driver and the 800x600x16/256 driver.

The PC/TCP kernel requirement does not mean that you can't place an
application in the public domain. Several free TCP/IP applications use
(or can use) the FTP Software kernel, and these include NUPOP, Archie, 
WAIS, and lately Trumpet.

Will CA really support two products that have the same target group?
DbFast was supposed a tool to convert Dbase and Clipper applications
to Windows! And they seem to support dbFast (Version 2.0 is expected
for the near future). I will try to check it out, and as soon I get

Hi All!

I am hoping that someone can help here. I would really
appreciate any help you could offer me here!!!
I am using a 50 mhz 486 standalone system. I get QVT
to load, but cannot connect in any form. I get the
"cannot connect to ftp.cica.indiana.edu" message. I
also see NO activity on my modem. SO I imagine that
QVT cannot communicate with my com 2 (9600 HST modem).

DTR COM2: ON

slip8250 -w 0x63 SLIP 3 0x2f8 2400
pktint

The first 3 lines set up my modem, connect and start the slip
connection. It gives me my IP address and then gives me control
over the computer again, at which point you can see what I do
next. Before I load windows, I of course modify the .rc file
to reflect my correct ip address. Any suggestions why my modem
lights are not showing any activity?

I would REALLY appreciate any help as I am at a dead end here with
no hope of support from QVT as they do not even reply to e-mail.

Here is what we do to increase printing speed here:

The fastest way to get printed output is to bypass Print Manager altogether.
Go to the MS Windows Control Panel, choose Printers to open the Printers  
dialog box, and then make sure that the Use Print Manager check box is
deselected.  Ami Pro now sends output directly to the printer without
spooling it to the disk.

Turn off Ami Pro's background printing feature, Amiprint. Choose 
Tools / User Setup / Options, and make sure the Print in background
check box is deselected.

How much effect Print Manager has on the printing speed depends on your
system.  In general, the faster you hard disk, the less Print Manager slows
down your printing.  

This above comments may give you some clues as to where to look for printing
performance improvements.  Good luck!

Just thought I'd add that I had EXACTLY the same experience.  Sent a check
which got promptly cashed, but no response to paper mail or email.

It's a nice utility, but the whole experience was extremely annoying.
There is a way around the dumb nag screen, though.  Just pick up the file
called nonag2.zip on one of the SIMTEL20 mirrors.  When you invoke WinDock
using nonag, the registration screen appears, then disappears immediately.

Organization: Bellcore, Livingston, NJ
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 92 20:23:17 GMT

I've just wasted 45 min on a long-distance call to MS's
W4W support and got nowhere; maybe the net can help
with the following three problems related to the automatic
referencing feature in W4W 2.0?

1. When inserting a _previously_ defined reference (by
clicking it twice, copying, going to a new place, and
pasting), the W4W gives it a new reference number and
copies it into the ref list as a new entry. This is as
idiotic as it can be, although the techie at MS initially
claimed that references should always be numbered consecutively. 
Is there a way to get the automatic ref renumbering to work
as it should (i.e., to have the previous ref number inserted
and not having it repeated in the ref list?)

2. Is there a way to have each automatically numbered reference
followed by, let's say, a right parenthesis, or to be enclosed
in square brackets, as some journal formats require?
(I know, I know, I can do it by inserting the
superscripted ")" manually, but ...)

3. This is probably to much to expect from MS, but is
automatic referencing smart enough to print XXX[3-6] 
instead of XXX[3,4,5,6]? My old troff wasn't smart enough, either...

If there is no solution to problem #1, then W4W is
missing a feature essential to those writing any 
scientific reports and papers.

Thanks for any helpful hints.

They can be either ethernet or serial (read not slip, but regular

one solution.

I am mostly interested in ethernet apps that support packet drivers,
ODI is the preferred one.  I would also like to look at apps that
support ndis, clarkson, and other packet driver specs.

The serial-based apps need to support both direct serial lines and
dial-up, speeds up to at least 56k/bps.
