CSHOW is great at dithering pictures into resolutions you do not have. 
Simple math shows you that getting true 640x480x256 cannot be done with only
256k of frame buffer. Each pixel is one byte, so 640x480 > 256k.

Moral of the story: Use a picture viewer that doesn't unknowingly trick you
into thinking you have resolutions you don't.

Organization: Mentor Graphics, Silicon Design Division
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1992 19:37:30 GMT

I have a 486/33 with 8M and run DR DOS 6.0. I just got the C/C++ 7.0 & SDK
from Microsoft. I'm looking for the optimal system setup.

Am I better off using SMARTDrive 4.0 and 386Max (and Himem?) with
my DR DOS system or the DR DOS EMM386 and SuperPCK programs?

Will DR DOS load high if I use someone else's memory manager? When
I try to use SMARTDrive with EMM386, it takes up ~40K of conventional
memory which SuperPCK seems to load high.

If I want to use C/C++ from DOS, I need the DPMI facilities of 386MAX,
but will DR DOS load high?

In trying to solve a couple of problems, I noticed that applications were
not freeing all resources on closing in Win 3.0. Is there a way to "force-free"
resources upon closing applications? This problem occurs with most apps, and
none of them are non-commercial, pro apps, so, while I won't make any claims
about how well written they may be, their integrity is probably typical of the
best Windows apps.

Greetings !

This is the first time I have posted to this group so forgive me if I bring     up an old issue.

When I run Word for Windows, Paintbrush, and occasionally MS-MAIL, my drive 
light will come on and stay on.  When this occurs, I can move my
mouse but I can't click on anything (I have the pointer icon and not the hour glass icon when this occurs.) and this will stay like this anywhere from 30sec.
to 30min. and more. If and when it comes back from limbo, I get a variety 
of error messages (PBRUSH casued a error in module unknown or in PBRUSH.exe, theother applications give similar messages.) I have run Disk tests and my 
drive comes up clean and every other component in my PC is new.

Hello all,

      I'm sorry for the cross posts, but I can't remember where I got the
      answer from the first time!  A month or so ago I wrote in about a
      problem with Win3.1 and WFW 2.0.  One of the problems I was having
      was that any time I would run the dos prompt or any dos application
      I would get the following message:

                                  System Error

                   Microchannel bus timeout error detected.
                   System halted...

      I posted this (along with other problems) to these newsgroups and one
      of the responses I got told me to put a line in my win.ini or system.ini
      files that said something about MCAxxxxx=off or something like that.
      From what I remember (my system crashed shortly after that due to an
      unrelated problem and I lost everything!) it seemed to have done the
      trick.  I think it got rid of the error.  I am hoping to get someone to

Subject: TSENG ET4000 Drivers & DOS windows that don't work
Organization: Comtech Labs Inc.
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1992 16:43:56 GMT

For the longest time we have had problems with the TSENG ET4000 drivers
and DOS windows.  When one opens a Full Screen DOS window sometimes the
text you type is invisible and the scrolling doesn't work.  This will also
happen if you change a windowed dos to full screen (sometimes).  I have
one machine that never has this problem and others that do it often.  This
problem has existed Since Windows 3.1 and the three versions I have gotten
of the drives since then all have the problem.  You simply have to type
mode co80 to get your screen back.  So it appears that the driver has just
set the wrong video text mode.  This is a pain and in some cases when you
start up certain applications you of course can't type mode co80.

The one thing I have noticed is that the new version of TURBO-256 color
drivers I got from the Orchid BBS DO NOT have this problem but their
regular 256 & 16 color drivers DO.

Has anyone else noticed this problem and/or found a solution??  I imagine
there is some sort of setup difference between machines as I have some that
DO seem to work correctly all the time.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: SVGA drivers for SpeedStar card????
Organization: Iowa State University, Ames IA
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 18:57:59 GMT


I'm looking for some SVGA drivers for my Diamonds Speedstar card and
windows 3.1.  I have used several of the TSENG 4000 drivers but they do
NOT fully support 3.1 features.  The only video drivers that I've found
to support 3.1 fully have been the drivers that come with windows, but
these are only 16 color drivers and there isn't a 1024x768 driver with
them.

What I mean when I say "don't fully supoort 3.1" is this.  In 3.1 you
can use CTRL-ALT-DEL to abort a hanging app.  If I press C-A-DEL when
using the plain VGA drivers this functions normally.  If I use the
ET4000 win drivers or a speedstar driver, the system hangs when I press
C-A-DEL, it doesn't even reboot.

The other feature is ALT-TABBING from a full screen DOS app.  This works
using VGA, but not using anything else.

Does anyone know of some SVGA drivers that will allow 256 colors,
hi-res, and function properly under 3.1?

Thanks,
Brian

The answer to this FAQ is to check the Kermit distribution from

looking at the kermit distribution, which covers every computer known

Also, what I really want to do is rotate the caps-lock, ctrl, and alt
keys, not just swap caps-lock and ctrl.  Although I'd settle at this
point for just swapping ctrl and alt.

If anyone knows where in the kermit distribution I can find this,
please email me (and the maintainer of the FAQ).

In the win.ini file see the line IconTitleSize, you can change this line
to read 10 or 12 or what size you want. Also, you should have a line similar to
IconType (or similar, there are 3 or four lines together here) This setting is
set up on a binary basis. It forces all your icon titles to be bold, regardless
of what font you chose. Anyway, 1=set this to all bold, 0= not bold.
I use this in conjuction with, my icontitlesize = 10 and can see much better on
my 14" monitor. I have the resolution set to the 800x600 it works out nicely.
I think the icon style I use is TT times new roman.
Also, to reset your fonts in Program Manager so you can read your files w/o
going blind: pull down your menus until you find fonts, then select the font
you want as well as the style. You can also set all these to be bold also.
(the menu is options, I think)

Question:
 Now I have a question: how I could change my button bar fonts in WP4W to be
 bold. Is there a way to change the File Manager "status bar" at the bottom
 to reflect any font changes. Specifcally, how can I get these to reflect bold
 also.

Are you both sure that the resources truly aren't being returned. I have
heard about resources being "fragmented" (please excuse my lack of correct
Windows-jargon, I'm a Windows-programmer-weenie and plan to stay that way), and
therefore being unavailable until they are "compressed" back into a single
usable lump through some magic system call. I vaguely remember seeing a 
shareware program called FREEMEM somewhere that performed this service while
monitoring your available resources ... good luck.

Insert the following into the [NonWindowsApp] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:

ScreenLines=50

to open a DOS window with f.e. 50 lines.

I'm one of those who has had ongoing problems with Diamond's drivers.  
But the card works pretty well with other drivers, including the generic
S3 drivers from Microsoft.  In my experience, Diamond's technical
support is poor.  I can live with what I have, but I probably won't 
buy anything made by Diamond in the future.
