        Hi Adam,


        It seems that the wedding between Windows and C++ is a delicate
one ! The problem lies essentialy in the fact that there is no easy way
to tie a Windows message with a C++ method. Microsoft uses the "message
map" mechanism which is a little bit unnatural. Borland proposes a more
natural approach, but has modified the way C++ handles  virtual  tables
to achieve it.

        Build a class hierarchy for Windows is not an easy task. I have
read many books and articles on the subject. If I can make a suggestion
take the time to read :

"Windows++, Writing Reusable Code in C++" by Paul Dilascia,
Addison Wesley (ISBN : 0-201-60891-X)

and

"The Microsoft Guide to C++ Programming" by Kaare Christian,
Microsoft Press (ISBN : 1-55615-394-5)

        The benefit of using C++ to program Windows is however unbelievable ...

          I have seen an add for the SB16 ASP, they made a big deal about
  the analog signal processor - any one know the story ont this?

This is not a digital signal processor like the MultiSound has.  The
DSP on the MultiSound can actually have custom programs downloaded
into it.  My understanding of what the SB16 has is some circuitry that
does data compression/decompression in hardware.

          Also, does anyone know what the prices will be on the Wave
  Blaster?  I have seen the SB16 for $189.

$189 is lower than any price that I have seen for the SB16.  The only
place I know of that actually has them is Fry's Electronics in
Manhattan Beach, CA.  They are asking full retail ($299).  I do not
have the phone number in front of me, but the area code is 310.  One
of the guys here that went to Comdex says that the WaveBlaster will
retail at $199, but it will not be available for several months.

I suppose you just create a new group with the name "Startup". Choose
FILE-NEW, select Program Group in the dialog box and set the name. Then
copy your startup stuff to the new program group.

Does it have a copy function (i.e. one Mac disk to another Mac disk)?
Can one read a Mac document into a Windows application (e.g. Word for
Windows)?  Where can this program be obtained?  Who much?

So many questions... so little time ;-).

Subject:      Win for Wrkgroups

is anyone currently running Windows for Workgroups on top of LAN manager?
we made the attempt.  we're scarred for life.  it was what you would call
a painful experience.  LAN Manager and win for workgroups did not want to
coexist on the same network.  granted it worked, but many of the functions
specific to win for workgroups did function.
also, we would like run win for workgroups off of the net so not all of
win for workgroups files sis on the local drive.  this does not appear
possible.
anyone had any luck with this?
any help or similar experiences would be interesting.
don't get me wrong, i think win for workgroups is a great pkg as a standalone
network, prob is, we already have one network to contend with.

The November 10, 1992 issue of PC Magazine contains a discussion in the
*Working Word* section that deals with this.

If you are using postscript (which it appears you are), you can use the
Watermark macro that comes with WinWord 2. If not, you create an object
in WordArt and insert it into the First Page Header and give the Top Margin
a negative value and size the object appropriately. You have to monkey
around the page settings and margins since page 1 is so different, but its
worth the effort.

Seldom have I seen such an ungrateful reaction to what most reasonable people
would regard as a great advance in shareware compression technology.  OK, so
you've found a bug: congratulations.  I'm sure the effort you put into this
amounted to at least 0.0001% of the effort put into creating PKZIP in the first
place.  `Do they have beta testers'?  Of course they do; why do you think it's
V2.04c and not V2?  Did you volunteer to be a beta tester?  Or are you just
prepared to sit around, let everyone else do the work, and then whinge because
someone was human and let a bug slip through?

I for one am very grateful to Phil Katz and associates for (a) creating PKZIP
in the first place; (b) making it an extraordinarily useful and powerful tool;
(c) collaborating with the INFO-ZIP team to make public-domain ZIP-based
products available; (d) placing their own work out as shareware, rather than
selling it without a trial option; (e) offering very reasonably priced site
licences, and (e) continuing to develop it, so that version 2 shews clear and
significant enhancements over V1.  Thanks, chaps; don't let one whinger ruin
things.

I assume you're loading your mouse driver before Windows, which is
correct.  Now, you need to add the line: local=PC$MOUSE in the
[386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI.  This will enable the mouse in a
DOS window.  There will still be some apps that simply won't work
right, but this will do the trick with most of them.

Subject:      HP ScanJet IIc with DeskScan II yields p

I know this isn't exactly the right list, so please point me to the
right list if you know where it is.

We have an HP ScanJet IIc and it's corresponding DeskScan II software.
The problems we are experiencing are two fold.

First, we cannot scan directly into PhotoFinish, we must "Acquire"
the scan using something called a TWAIN driver.  This basically runs
the DeskScan II software, and passes the resulting scan back to the
PhotoFinish program using DDE or something.  This is annoying at best,
because the characteristics of the image change between DeskScan and
PhotoFinish.

Second, the quality of the resulting scans are poor in 24 bit mode,
and if we use PhotoFinish to convert it to 256 color mode, the resulting
image is of useless quality.  Sometimes it will look ok on the system
the scanner is hooked to, but if the scan is saved as a GIF file and
carried to another system, the colors are terribly bad.  Almost like
converting a 256 color image to 16 colors.  (Well maybe not QUITE that
bad.)  But the resulting images are useless.

Does anyone else out there have the same equipment?

Has anyone had similar problems?

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it???

There are confirmed bugs with the Windows 3.1 drivers for the

will release new drivers very soon.  Most have found the problems with
the 256 color drivers, you may want to try 16 for now and see if that

When Windows inits, it will run whatever there is in the group.  This is
useful for loading Clock on startup, or, if you program, loading BWCC.DLL.

Hello.

I am having problems with Windows 3.1 on an IBM PS/2 Model 95 XP 486 with
4MB RAM and DOS 5.0.  Occasionally, when loading Windows, the Windows logo
will appear and then return to the DOS prompt with the following message:

WARNING:
The Intel 80386 processor in this computer does not reliably execute 32-bit
multiply operations.  Windows usually works correctly on computers with this
problem but may occasionally fail.  You may want to replace your 80386
processor.

Press any key to continue.....


After pressing the Return key, Windows will continue to load.

I have tried re-installing Windows but the problem still exists.  Does anyone
have any suggestions as to why I am getting this message?

Thanks.

MS sells  the MS Sound System, which includes rudimentary voice-recognition,
I.E. MINIMIZE minimizes, etc. It can also be taught new words, and "trained"
to understand you better.  The MSSS lists for $295.
There is something called DragonDictate, which recognizes spoked text, and
costs $900.  I have more details, but I have to do some rummaging for them,
so if you want more info, tell me.

Subject:      Emulating Vax Gold keys with Procomm 4 Windows

Can anyone help me remap the keys in Procomm to simulate the Vax gold keys. I
have tried everything. Has anybody tried/done this. It is pretty tedious trying
to program without the use of the gold keys for editing. I appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Eddie..
