Subject:      VT320 Emulator Problem

        Hi Everyone.

        We have a small Pathworks network with machines running DOS 5.0 and
        Microsoft Windows v3.1.  I ran Netsetup, and configured the machine
        just like all of our others, and setup windows with the SETUP/N
        command.  I then ran the WIN3SETU utility that sets up the machine
        for pathworks users.  Everything works fine, until I try to set up
        the VT320 emulator to connect to our network service over LAT.

        On all of our others machines, the program would come back and
        prompt me to choose the server to which I wanted to log onto.  On
        this particular machine, the arrow turns to an hourglass and just
        hangs.  Eventually, windows will come back and inform me of a network
        error on the drive that the program resides on.

        This PC is an older machine, and has an older DEPCA card on it, but
        we have several other identical machines that I've successfully
        installed pathworks/windows on.  I've tried re-installing both to
        this PC, but to no avail.  I can use the DOS program SETHOST to log
        onto the VAX, and everything works great.

        Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can check to see if I can
        get the windows 320 emulator to run properly?  Any suggestions would
        be appreciated.

        Thanks

This is completely wrong.  The Stacker volume has a real FAT just like
any other disk drive in MS-DOS, and this FAT really does show the
location of files on the stacked drive.  The difference is that a
stacked drive does not have absolute tracks and sectors like a real disk
drive does.  Any file access that goes through MS-DOS (at any level)
will work properly, including UnDelete, UnFormat, and other nifty
things.  But if a program tries to do reads and writes to absolute
sectors on the disk (such as SpeedDisk), it will fail.  The Stacker
drive is actually a "device driver drive" to MS-DOS, making it appear to
be some sort of RAM disk or Network device, so MS-DOS can use it, but
extremely low-level programs won't use it properly.  Most users never
need such low-level access, since mis-level programs like UnDelete are
all that you really need.

This is easy to get around; just put your GIF directory or your ZIP
directory on the uncompressed drive!

	I can't remember exactly either but you can go into one of the .ini

This is WRONG.  The Stacker software emulates a drive, all the way down

Paint Shop (shareware in cica) will resize very well, as well as loading/

	Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to resize a bitmap
    originaly designed for 480X640 so that it will display properly when using
    600X800 resolution? I have tried to use Paintbrush to do this but it does
    not have the ability to re-proportion a bitmap once it has been created -
    at least I couldn't determine how to get it to do it. [:-)

The program that does the best job of this is (surprise!) WINGIF.  It
makes very reasonable stretched images.  I have stretched 640x480x256
photos to 800x600 and 1024x768 with surprisingly good results.  It
will also dither a 256 color image down to 16 colors with surprisingly
good results.

I think this is an interesting attempt to deal with "threads" of some

HOWEVER, working in Austria for the UN, with (mainly) US software, and
staff from all corners of the world, things like date format are not
trivial things.

We have adopted YYYY-MM-DD as a standard so that we can understand
each other. Otherwise an American will not be able to invite guests to a
national celebration on "7-4-93" because the Europeans will come early
on the 7th of April.


There is a world outside the US with, sometimes, different conventions.
Discussions that may reduce confusions due to these differences are not
a waste of time

Sounds like you have somw adjustments to make in your PIF settings for

some of the "Monitor Ports" options.  Hard to tell what would be right

The Windows NT Pre-release SDK (which is more or less what they're
calling it) can be had for $69 plus $20 shipping WHICH, however,
includes shipping for the actual beta (due in September, some say) and
the final product (end of the year, some say; my guess, next spring).
If you were a Win 3.1 beta tester and stillhave your id number, you can
get the NT CD-ROM for $29 plus shipping charge as above; in fact, I
understand people developing for OS/2 can also get it for $29...these
guys know how to market, no?!

   Can someone tell me if the "CD-ROM interface" mentioned in the ads for
the SoundBlaster Pro is a SCSI interface.  Or, even better, could you tell
me which CD-ROM drives interface properly with the SB Pro?
   Thanks.

Sorry, folks, for posting that to the list without reading a little bit
more--that'll teach me not to read, type, and think at the same time.

Does anyone know why 'most' of us can't run a DOS VGA app in a window?

Sounds like your mouse driver is only defining your mouse as a two-
button mouse.  Usually pushing both buttons at the same time is the
equivalent of pressing the middle mouse button.  Find the most
current driver for your mouse and make sure it is a three button
driver, and it will probably work.

I also had this problem and called WPcorp.  They said that they were aware
of the problem and would 'let me know when. . .', but failed to give an
estimate of when (this was about two weeks ago).  All other Truetype fonts
seem to work just fine. . .
