        Well, if FAXit worked, it'd bea terrific piece of software. problem 
is, it has a bug that prevents it from faxing more than one page at a time 
reliable within Windows 3.1. Also, it requires the use of a DOS-installed TSR 
that will interfere with any other programs usingthe fax modem (i.e. Procomm 
Plus).

        Until fixed version is released, go with WinFax; Faxit is a definite 
no-no.

No, Intergraph is a $800 million company in Huntsville Alabama.  They sell
graphics workstations and software--they are very important in the CAD
market.  I don't know what their relationship is with MS, other than
competitor.  According to an article I read recently, Intergraph is
working on an OCR project with Xerox.  I also seem to think that they
recently got this huge contract to sell workstations to the US Navy for
several hundred million dollars.
 
This probably doesn't belong here.

That's funny...a tech rep at Corel by the name of Sharon Potts told me
at first that there was no such update.  After some checking, she called
me back to tell me that a new version with bug fixes was just released

     (trying this again...) 
 
 
	I am very interested in Hypertext as a tool, and have been
playing with a progrm called Magic that works under DOS.  What I need
now is a similar program which works under Windows.  I have yet to
find any reasonably priced program which does this.   
   	Somebody suggested that a few macros, which worked under Word
for Windows 2.0, might do the trick. Given that I already have WFW
2.0, this is a very appealing idea.   What I need is an easy way to
create   
 
	a) reference links, which jump to another place in a document 
	b) replacement links, which replace one string of text with
	  another -- usually expanded -- an example would be a word
	  such as SCUBA, when clicked on, would expand to say 
	  "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus"...
	c) File links, which go from the file you're in to another
  	   file. 
 
 Ideally, this could be done "on the fly" -- that is, the user could
be typing one section of a document, decide to create a reference
link, highlight the words which will be clicked on to jump to the
link, hit a hotkey, go to the new section in the document, and then be
able
to hit another hotkey to get back to the original part of the
document. 
  

  	I spent several hours with my Word for Windows documentation
and WordBasic manual trying to figure this one out, to no avail.

Hi Netlanders!
I'm having a problem getting WinWord 2.0 running on a 386 PC.  WW installed
okay, but whenever I select it in ProgMan, it responds with a message box
stating that there is insufficient memory to run the application, and that
I should close some applications and try again.  The thing is: There are
_no_ (none, not one, nada) other programs running.   The PC is a 386/33
with 8 MB RAM and a 130-MB hard disk.  Before going into Windows 3.1,
DOS 5.0's mem command reports 547,712 bytes of free conventional memory, 
and about 6.5 MB free extended memory.  From within Windows, the Help
About function shows 26,512KB free memory (386 Enhanced Mode) with 85%
Free System Resources (FSRs).  Windows is using a 12 MB swap file, and
a default-sized smartdrive cache.
Does anyone know why WinWord won't run?  How can it even claim insufficient
memory when the about screen shows so much memory and FSRs available? BTW,
WordPerfect for Windows, Aldus Persuasion, and the other Windows 3.1 mini-
applications all run fine -- the problem seems to be Winword.  Is there a
later version than 2.0a (I think)?  If so, how can I get it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Post here or E-mail to the below address is fine...

        Which device drivers and programs should run FIRST-- 386MAX's or

Yes, it is completely compatible. It doesn't directly support the
functions that were new in Win3.1, but you can of course do the
API call yourself. VB2.0 is supposed to include Win3.1 support,
and should also include most or all of the Professional
Toolkit. As to the release date - try Microsoft.

cheaper compare to the card with the S3-chip.  It mentioned a pretty big
Window speed up compare to the normal SVGA cards.  Is it worth the money,
or I should spend more than $200 to get the Diamond Stealth video card?
What kind of performance do people get from it anyway?  Any winmark?

Can anyone tell me what is the possible security value of the Norton

password option...I would have thought that whis would be sufficient!

The problem is that if yoy CTL+ALT+DELETE at the screen saver level, good 
old Windows 3.1 says " No problems, you must want to terminate this
application" and promptly puts you back to the Program Manager.

Maybe I'm missing something here...but SECURITY it's not...

Can you download single files under PCP/Win?  If you can, then the problem is
probably that you have some file in your mainframe directory that zmodem
cannot handle.  (In other words, the filename has more than nine characters
before a period, or some other problem that prevents Zmodem from correctly
translating the name into IBM-speak.)  Check it out.

Actually, under version 1.00, Procomm Plus can't handle file names that
exceed the maximum number of characters for a MS-DOS filename.  Instead,
you will get a nice little "file creation error" message down at the 
bottom of the screen.  This happened to me a few times before I saw the 
message and caught on to what was happening.  The good news is, that the
maintenance release took care of this problem (among other).  With 
version 1.01, filenames that are too long will be truncated.  However,
if you are still using version 1.00, "file creation errors" might be
your problem if you are having trouble downloading.

Hi, Netland!

  I have a problem with MS-Word for Windows 2.0's equation editor.  It
  claims that both MT-Extra and Fences fonts are missing for the

  characters used within equations (parentheses, for example) print
  out as b's and g's.  I had a look at my ~windows\system and found
  both the .ttf and .fot files for those fonts.  The control panel's
  font manager regognizes the patricular fonts but can't show any
  example text for them (well, this possibly isn't a bug  -  I don't
  know, what characters can be found from those fonts).

  I have tried reinstallation several times with no luck.  (If this
  helps, I do the custom installation  -  don't need all that stuff
  for the WP users etc.)

  ANY ideas?

Ok, Ok... Stupid question I guess, but:

Does anybody know where I can find a Kanji/Katakana/Hiragana TrueType
font?  Please e-mail the below address if you have any info, or would
like someone to hear your gripes.

Thanks
