I would try  loading the Portuguese keyboard driver that came with WIndows,
whis will give you the Brazilian characters you want in all Windows programs.
These are ANSI characters, as opposed to the ASCII ones that run in DOS, which
is why automatic transfer hasn't occurred.

I think all possible events are already included in the default list.
What other 'event' that you had in mind and didn't find there ?

Subject:      windows, os2, unix and the limits ofhuman patience

Hello again,
    I'm interested that given the plethora of available operating

systems for pc's, is anyone taking the time to try out different
operating systems for their computers? Or do people just accept the
operating system given to them by the dealers? Granted, operating
systems take both time and a considerable amount of patience to set
up and get going, (just look at some of the comments regarding os/2
installation) but does anyone make a concious, informed decision
regarding what operating system their computer uses?

Eagerly awaiting replies, and remaining cyber-live...

why not just set up the network printer captured on lpt2? - easy enough

Subject:      Changing ICONs on the fly.

I posted the following message a couple of weeks ago and received
*no* replies!  I was sure at least one of you gurus would have a
suggestion about this.

Lets try one more time before I give up:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Date: Thu, 14 Jan 93 10:18:17 -0800
>From: Tony Abo <tabo>

Is there a way to change the ICON of a running Windows process?
Or perhaps a way to update the textual name which accompanies the
ICON of a minimized process?

Often times I will start a application in a DOS box which may
need to stay around for a while.  Normally I will minimize the
DOS box so I can come back to it later.  The problem is that the
DOS box will display the MSDOS ICON which there may be more than
one of by now.  The only way to find out which one is which is by
restoring each of them one at a time.

Yes, I know that by adding them to a group and running them from
PM will allow a unique ICON, but this is not always practical.

This is not a show stopping problem for me, but if there is an
easy way to do this my life will become just ever-so-much nicer.

Thanks

Subject:      Dynamic Dialog Boxes

Dear Netters,

I've allready posted this question few days ago but I've not received an answer
yet. So I try again ...

Here is my problem.

I'd like to  find a  mean to  allow an  end-user (in this case a physician or a
nurse)  to dynamicaly create some kind of simplified dialog boxes, with defined
objects (ako custom controls : filtered edit-box, combos, ...). Each dialog box
is linked to a corresponding printed form.

These  dialog  boxes  should  be used later  to enter data in a relational data
base and eventualy to print the associated formulary.

I don't want to "hard code" all these dialog boxes in my application because :

(1) each hospital uses approximatively 800 types of printed forms.  These forms
    are not standardized and may change from hospital X to hospital Y;
(2) the template  and the  data  associated to  a  printed form may change with
    time;
(3) new  types of  printed forms may be  created at any  time by the hospital's
    administration;

So, I'd like to find a way of storing the definition of a dialogbox (build with
some specialized tools) into the database  (perhaps using BLOBS) and dynamicaly
interpret it at load time. Some controls  in the dialog box should be linked to
fields in the database.

If some of you  has allready  resolved  a similar problem, I'd like to have his
comments and advices.

Thanks.

David

From:         "Jeffrey L. Needleman" <needje@MSEN.COM>
Subject:      PhoneNet3.0/Appletalk/WinWord aborts!

Here's the problem.  I just installed the new 3.0 version of Farallon's
PhoneNet software on my tiny AppleTalk network.  Everything seems to work
fine until I close a document--any document, on any drive--from within Word
for Windows 2.0.  Then I'm immediately returned to the DOS prompt. Not only
has Word quit, but all running Windows processes have quit and Windows 3.1
itself has quit--with no error messages appearing whatever.

I'm running over DOS 5.0 on a Zeos 486-33 with 8MB RAM. I've got an old
AppleTalk PC card installed (which worked fine with the previous version of
PhoneNet). I usually run a few TSR's, but disabling them didn't affect the
problem. I've assigned my networked printer to different ports under
PhoneNet (printing works fine on all of them with the new software).
There's no question the problem is directly related to PhoneNet--when I
disable PhoneNet, everything works; when I run any of the PhoneNet batch
files from DOS and reenter Windows, the problem then shows up.

Aside from the AppleTalk card, I've got an IN-2000 SCSI card installed and
a card that adds COM3 and COM4 and LPT2 to the usual two serial and one
parallel ports included in the system. I don't see how any of these could
cause simply closing an open document in Word to abort everything and
return me to DOS!

Needless to say, any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm pretty baffled
this morning.  Thanks.

They will always print fine on my dot matrix printer but in some sizes some

matrix printer but when sent to the laser as a download softfont misses out a
number of characters and prints others in the wrong places.

If you only use Windows there is no point in spending $50-$70 on DOS 5
just to get 70Kbyte more DOS memory. Windows doesn't need it.

First off, Brian should make sure he's running MS-DOS 5 (I know this
sounds painfully obvious, but stranger things have happened).  The file
Windows is looking for is needed only in such a case.  Secondly, I have
heard of other who have the problem Brian has but whose systems include
the file in question in the root directory of the boot drive and whose
systems work just dandy in enhanced mode despite the appearnace of this
message.  (There was a series of questions about just this topic in the
past month or so on BIX/WIX).  In short, if you're running DOS 5, get
the file and put it where Windows can find it (either the DOS 5 docs or
a readme file tells you how to put that file elsewhere if you wish, but
it involves an additional line in your config.sys file).  If you're not
running DOS 5, it's probably superfluous.  As long as enhanced mode is
working, all's well.

Good Luck!

Subject: Conversion .HLP-files to text

I am looking for a decent way to convert WIN 3.1 help-files (.hlp extension) to
text. A lot of public domain programs contain only these .hlp-files, and it
would definitely be a lot easier to convert them to a text-file in order to
have a good look at them than to browse through them with the help-engine. And
grabbing the various help-screens doesn't solve my problem. I did that, but
it's a very awkward way to work.

So, if anyone could send me some information concerning a utility that could
take care of this conversion, I would be eternally thankful...

Can anyone recommend a good book covering C++ programming for Windows 3.1 using Borlands OWL and BC 3.1??

Thanks..
