My $.02:

PC-Kwik is a very good disk cache, one of the best two or three available. The
other software in the PowerPak is of far more limited utility, especially
under Windows (who needs a print spooler under Windows, for example?). I
have used PC-Kwik successfully under both Windows 3.0a and 3.1 with no
problems and good results.

However, I'm now using Smartdrive as my disk cache instead, even though I'm
pretty sure it's not as fast.  Why?  Well, the extra 1-2% in speed I might
gain overall is simply not worth the hassle of explaining to MS Tech Support
that I have this 'non-standard' disk cache and arguing with them about
whether it's causing this problem or that. Thus technology and innovation
take a back seat to standardization (a sad but common tale).

(Note that I didn't do this under Win3.0, because Smartdrive was actually
PrettyDumbDrive until the Win3.1 version; PC-Kwik was so far superior that I
felt I *had* to use it instead.)

It did for me, but you have to look closely to see the cheat flag.  It isn't
a cursor; it's a single pixel which may be almost invisible depending on
your wallpaper.

Frankly, I'd put this in the unmitigated rumor or computer folklore bin.

works for me.  The pixel (NOTE pixel) that lites up is in the
upper left hand corner of the screen (not window). It can be
very hard to see at resolutions of 640x480 and up. I think that
at 1024x800 it would be almost undetectable with the correct 
backgrounds.

Unfortunately, WordPerfect for Windows is one of the biggest offenders.  Not
only the WordPerfect application, but also its bundled file manager eat up
resources like candy, and never bother to have the social graces to return them
when they're done with 'em.

Of course, it would also have been nice if Microsoft had allowed for a dynamic
resource heap.

The definition is, that that piece of software is the OS which "handles the 
resources of the computer". By this definition Windows is a 90% OS. Windows 
handles memory,graphics,mouse,printers and so on, the underlaying DOS only 
handles the files. By a special point of view DOS is the filesystem of Windows.

You have to have a black background (i.e. no BMP wallpaper) or a dark color
in that area.  ALSO-You cannot have a window covering the wallpaper/background
in the upper left corner of the screen.  I tried it with a DOS window
up there, and it didn't work, but as soon as I dragged it down out of the

Thank you for your hint, although this is even a different problem.

I don't get garbled colours, I get no graphics at all! It simply replaces the
graphics by a square symbol with a circle inside. I'm in 256 colours
most of the time anyway (my printer is a 24 pin, so grey values don't matter
to me in the first place).

Meanwhile I did some experiments which lead me to believe that picture size
IS important. I get the error after pasting larger than approx. 640x700
pixels. As long as it's smaller, everything is fine. Maybe I overexcede the
page size?? Would be logical ...

If you think an error message is showing up on your logo screen where

      win :

Then it will not go to the graphic logo during loading.

Hi folks!

I am writing a primer for Windows in finnish (actually rewriting the
primer to Windows 3.1).

Previously I used SnagIt screen capture -program and changed the
monitor into monochrome to capture pictures black & white into my Word
4 Windows-document. If there was any cleaning needed for the bitmap, I
used PaintBrush.

Now I would not want to make my monitor monochrome (because of the
resolution is only VGA standard, but if there is monochrome driver for
1014*768 pixels, then...) in order get pictures captured into my document.

How would that be possib|e at the same time?

Yes: PC Magazine, August 1992 issue (Vol.11 No.14), page 81- "The Secrets
Behind Windows," by Michael J. Miller: tells you how to get credit
screens on Program Manager, W4W, and AmiPro 2.0 !

In Amipro, choose Help/About. Hold down shift, ctrl, alt. Press F7, then type
"SPAM"... Then type the last number in the "memory available" figure, then
type the number 3 digits left of the last number. Photos of the developers
will float on the screen.
In Program Manager, choose Help/About. Hold down ctrl, shift, double click on 
one of the colored squares in the Windows flag. Choose OK to close box. Repeat
this process 3 times. Repeat for each color.
