Ok, UW or Unix windows is a Windows (and PC) Public Domain package
that allows you to log onto a Unix system and then have multiple
sessions (on DOS) and multiple Windows (On Windows of course).
So you can log on 3 different times using the same modem.  It
basically cycles between windows.  The one (of two) drawback
is that it doesn't have downloading or uploading capability
as of yet (unless that's in a new release), also the server
(for your account) only compiles on BSD systems, not System V
(like SGI).  So basically you log on using UW and then on
your system you log into you execute uw and it is a server
for your PC.  Anyway, if the author sees this, please get back
to me if you can.  Thanks!

I've been using an older version of winqvtnet (and still am) and just
picked up version 3.03 for windows 3.1.  As far as a I can tell I
installed it correctly, and the console comes up with no problems. 
However, when I try to connect to any machine I get a "Local Host or
Gateway not responding" error.

I'm sure this is something simple that I overlooked, but I cant think
of anything else.  Do any of you qvt users have any suggestions?

Please respond via e-mail.

Thanks, Rob

Hi, Does any body encounter any problem with WFW 2.0b with NDW 2.0 & WIN 3.1 ?

I can't select "option" from the Tools menu. Whenever I select that option
WFW crashs! any hint ? it is because of NWD 2.0 or WFW 2.0b ?


Thank you.

The beta version that is shipping contains BOTH 3.5" diskettes AND
a CD ROM.  There is NO documnentation on the CD ROM.  The only docs
that come with it are a system guide and release notes.

The final version is 'supposed' to have hard copy docs with it.
Of course that can change in a heartbeat :-)

You might try Stanford Graphics for Windows, although many havy

TO followup on my own question. The problem had nothing to do with
SuperStor 2.0. I found that Intuit ships a copy of LZEXPAND.DLL on their
installation disk and use it instead of the copy already in
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. It turned out that the copy of LZEXPAND.DLL that I was
shipped was corrupt. I replaced it with the copy that came with Windows 3.1
and the load failure problem disappeared. Of course, I then found that
Quicken 2.0 will not install with SHARE.EXE active. So, I had to turn it
off before being able to install Quicken for Windows 2.0.

I am connected to a Vax VMS system and it is usually rather slow, but two of us have noticed that it is even slower with 3.0 and 3.03.  It does seem to scroll better with 3.03.  We had been
using 2.85 and it definitely seems slower than that.  We are wondering if the log file that was
added is causing any of this.

If you're comfortable with writing and using a macro, here's one that
I use.  First, define a Style called "Equation" that has a centered
tab at the center of the paragraph (for the equation) and a right-aligned
tab at the right margin (for the equation number).  Then use the macro
shown below.  It could be improved in a number of ways, but it works.

Best of Luck!

Hello.

I've just found a bug in the Norwegian version of W4W version 2.0 (all
menues, field coded etc. are in Norwegians). The bug is related to
bookmarks and reference (both reference and page reference). What I
got is something like this:

--------------------- beginning of example:
{autonumlev}Some title

some text, see {ref FOOBAR}.
some more text.
.
.
.
{autonumlev}Another title
^^^^^^^^^^^^ Selecting this and insert an bookmark called FOOBAR
--------------------- end of example

Everything work fine until I repaginate it and preview the document
before printing it out. Since the "Another title" is placed at the
bottom of a page while the text following it is on the next page, I
therefor moved the page brake under the title up above the title. This
cause a hard page break to be inserted just before the {autonumlev}
field code.

But then things begin to mess up. The page break is "copied" to all
references of the type {ref FOOBAR} in the document, causing unwanted
page breaks elsewhere in the document.

Also, if I use the {pageref FOOBAR} field code, the page number is
incorrect. The page number show in the document is the page before the
bookmark (page number - 1).

It seems like the page break is inserted into area which the FOOBAR
bookmark cover.

My question is: Is this bug fixed in the 2.0b version (or does it only
exist in the Norwegian version of W4W). Is there any workarounds exept
the one I have found?

I found one workaround which my help - inserting a soft hyphen (since
it will not have any meaning, it will not be shown on the output) just
before the {autonumlev} field code like this:

--------------------- beginning of example:
{autonumlev}Some title

some text, see {ref FOOBAR}.
some more text.
.
.
.
[soft hyphen]{autonumlev}Another title
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Selecting this and insert an bookmark called FOOBAR
--------------------- end of example.

Thanks in advance.

Look for Cinetic Mail Manager (CMM) rather than EZ-Mail - they changed its
name. The latest version is 2.1 and should be available at most ftp sites
carring windows software. Mail me if you can't find it.

I would certainly recommend it. I've been using it daily for the 5 months
interfaced to FTP's PC/TCP SMTP client and server without major problems.

I was told when I registered it that a new version will be along sometime.

MIME support would be very nice as would a companion news reader.

Hello,
   I would like to know if there exists shareware that would allow
   me to put an arbitrary file on the print queue.  Often, I wish
   to print files that have embedded control sequences from other
   programs. Since the files are sometimes long and take a long time
   to print, I'd rather put them on window's queue.

   Dragging file to the print manager from the file manager is not
   an option: The file must be associated with an application. I can't
   find an application that will pass a file throught without changing
   it and formatting it.

   Printing in a dos window is not an option: when the printer's buffer
   is full, the dos app will halt all cpu function until the printer
   starts taking data again.

   I've tried WPrint and LP, and they do not do what I need.

   Please reply to korte@sabine.psu.edu if possible.

Granted, there are a lot of things in the program that could use some work,
but I think I saw in one of the doc files that there are several future
releases planed and even listed some of the improvements targeted for each
one.  You might think of this as an early beta release that you are getting
to play with (for free) until the final version comes out.
