Is there any way to get MSCDEX to use extended (not expanded) memory?

Are there any alternatives (shareware or commerical) to MSCDEX? It seems
like a rather limited driver.

Problem: When I run Win3.1 at 800*600*16 with a Ahead VGA 512K, the following
happens: if I open a DOS application in full screen mode, then upon
return to a Windows app. (or desktop) the screen starts flickering
like crazy (it's more like waves across the screen, really) and the
only thing to do is to restart Windows. This happens both with the
generic SVGA driver provided by Win3.1 and with the Ahead drivers
(which are anyway quite mediocre).
I add that: this doesn't happen if DOS apps. are run in a window.
Also it doesn't happen if Windows is run in standard mode, even though
as you know DOS apps. only run full screen there.

Has anybody got an idea of what's going on here, and possibly what to
do about it?

Second problem (much less urgent): I notice a reduction in the screen
size going from 640*480 to 800*600: about an inch on the right is cut
off. (Nothing like that happens in 1024*768, but I don't use that
because my card is too slow at that resolution). I know of one other
person with a different card (Trident) having the same problem.
Is this a normal occurrence?

Thank you very much for any help or info

Adobe makes a keyboard management utility; it is bundled with their
Minion Cyrillic (Type 1) font. It comes with keyboard layouts for a
variety of languages, including the traditional Russian keyboard and a
phonetic one; the user can rearrange these or create custom layouts, as
well. Mouse-oriented users can pull down a list at any time and swap on
the fly; keyboard-oriented types can configure hot-keys for keyboard
swapping. I use it with AmiPro 3.0 running in Win-OS/2 (OS/2's
implementation of Windows) and everything works as advertised.

I don't know whether the keyboard utility is marketed apart from the
Minion Cyrillic font, but you might be able to find out from Adobe. Now
if only there was a comparable product for native OS/2 operations!

Well, looks like you've got some lost clusters. :( Fortunately,
there is an easy way to correct this: from the DOS command
prompt, run the command "chkdsk /f". This command will show
you several statistics about your HD, including the number of
lost clusters (if any). What lost clusters are is irrelevant
(you can call me Leonardo of Borg :)); all that matters is that
they trick DOS into thinking that you have less space available.
chkdsk /f will prompt you for confirmation, and then fix your
disk, freeing those clusters. In fact, if you want, chkdsk will
create some new files with the data in those clusters, so that
you can see what it was (later, you delete those files, of
course, freeing the disk space you want).
WARNING: do not run "chkdsk /f" in a DOS shell in Windows.
This may result in data loss (I am sounding like the owner's
manual :)). However, chkdsk is smart enough to realize that it
is under Windows (at least, in DOS 5.0 it is).

FoxPro and Access are sophisticated products in their own right.  Each is
targeted at somewhat different markets.  They share some common capabilities
as well as some things which are unique to each.  As for the pricing
speaking, the 99$ for Microsoft Access is a limited time only offer. Starting
after Jan. 31, '93 they will both be sold at SRP of 495$US.  With comparable
upgrade, trade-in, and additional licensing prices.

WINFIT 1.0
-----------

This is version 1.0 of the shareware program WINFIT, a non linear least 
squares fitting program for windows 3.x The program interface  is written in 
Visual Basic (the fitting code is in  WINFIT.DLL), this requires the 
VBRUN100.DLL in the /windows directory.


FEATURES

* Reads a simple ASCII file, space or tab delimited of X Y with an optional
  Y-error data.
* The data can be plotted with log axis options.
* The program uses Levenberg-Marquardt fitting method.
* There are some built in functions and the a user-defined function.
* The program can generate weights that improve fitting performance for 
  some problems.
* This version can read up to 500 data points and fit up to 10 parameters.
* The program provides a REPORT file and the plot can be copied to the 
  clipboard.
* The program will calculate and display the COVARIANCE and CURVATURE matrixes


INSTALLING
Create a directory /winfit (or place it anywhere else) copy all files to 
that directory.
From the file manager Drag the program name to a group in the file manager.
To run make sure you have VBRUN100.DLL in your /windows directory and
double click on the winfit icon.

Version 1.0 of Dropper (yes, version 1.0 at last!) has been uploaded to
cica.  It can be found (for the moment) in the uploads directory as
drop_10.zip.

Dropper is a small program which allows you to perform drag and drop to 
the Windows desktop. It is similar in many ways to the NeXT style icon 
dock programs around at the moment. Rather than requiring that drag and 
drop is performed to a strip along one side of the screen however, 
Dropper allows any part of the desktop to be used as a target. Dropper
requires Windows 3.1.

Changes since Dropper version 0.4
=================================

o   Fixed a couple of bugs in "Snap to Grid" and "Snap to Edge" which
    meant that they weren't consistent with "Arrange".
o   Fixed a bug in Snap to Grid which resulted in icons "walking" across
    the screen when clicked upon.
o   Finally put a keyboard interface into the dialogs (why didn't I do
    this ages ago?).
o   Introduced an "About box".
o   "Arrange" now wraps round at the end of a column and won't overlay
    icons over others.
o   "Double Click" option.
o   "Hide when Minimized" option.
o   "Full Pathnames" option.
o   "Browse" button in the "Run program" dialog box.
o   Command line history in the "Run program" dialog box.
o   "Stay in Background" option reinstated by popular demand.
o   On-line help.
o   Work around for a Notepad "feature" which means that opening a file
    without an extension results in Notepad trying to open that file with
    ".TXT" appended.
o   More robust "HorribleHack"
o   Fixed a bug with the experimental version which resulted in screen
    savers not working and in Windows pausing every few seconds.
o   Misc. bug fixes (yes, yet more).

ORLEV Scientific Computing, LTD. has a new image processing program for
MS-Windows 3.x called IPS.EXE. This program is capable of extensive,
high quality image processing on 8-bit gray-scale images.

The IPS major features are:
* reading of TIFF, GIF, BMP and arbitrary format image files (including
  interleave support).
* palette editing for pseudo color images.
* contrast enhancement: equalization, normalization, thresholding,
  negatives.
* filters: average, median, spots (digital filter), filter of equal
  brightness.
* slide window operators: smoothing, laplacian, equalization,
  normalization, variance, gradient, convolution (3x3 user defined filter).
* object analysis: connect objects, object statistics, isoline, contour map.
* morphology operations: dilating, eroding, opening, closing.
* spatial transformations: shifting, rotating, mirrors (along various
  axes).
* spatial resolution calibration and unit definition.
* extensive histogram analysis (including variance, skew and kurtosis).
* all processing function are high speed using specially designed code.

I have uploaded a demonstration Beta version of the IPS program running
under MS-Windows to the following archives:

ftp.cica.indiana.edu :   /pub/pc/win3/uploads
src.doc.ic.ac.uk :       /computing/systems/ibmpc/windows3/uploads
wuarchive.wustl.edu :    /mirrors2/win3/uploads
nic.funet.fi :           /pub/msdos//windows/new

These will then probably be transfered to the appropriate demo subdirs.

complete ZIP file format only.
