Subject: Borland Workshop Error: BEGIN EXPECTED
Keywords: I doesn't work in my app, why. Works when using .rws file
Date: 6 Apr 92 09:24:54 GMT
Organization: Ostfold College

Has anybody got any idea why I get this (very annoying:-<) error.
There _certainly_ is a begin, and that cannot be the problem. The problem 
lies in the BorDlg Class style. If I remove all occurenses of "class BorDlg" 
in the .dlg file, it won't complain about Begin Expected when it reads the 
file, but then, the dialogs won't have BorDlg style.
Then afterwards, if you in the workshop sets the class option, and saves 
the .dlg files and an .rws file, it will work fairly well, as long as I use 
the .rws file with fastopen. If I excludes the .rws file, I will get the 
same error again, 'Begin expected'.
And using an .rws file means that you cannot edit the .dlg file as a text 
file, because it will complain about 'Begin Expected' whenever you change
a .dlg file without updating the .rws file at the same time.

Is there an option, or anything that _must_ be included in the .dlg file.
It works well with the examples shipped with borlands package.

Well, you still can run your Win30 clock program, although I don't
really know why you want multiple copies of the clock.
(This is, btw, not an original idea of mine I read about running Win30
clock in some magazine).

This same thing happened to me, and I called FedEX and they also told me the
same thing you mentioned about the ECONOMY. HOWEVER, Microsoft then told me
that there is some confusion with FedEx as those "ECONOMY" packages were
supposedly shipped a week ago with the same DELAY to be delivered on Monday.
So, evidently someone screwed up somewhere, but it may not have been Microsofts
fault. 

One nice thing about FedEx though. They are far superior to UPS. FedEx will
track a package and tell you where it is and whether it will be delivered in
the morning or in the afternoon. They sometimes will even come back if you 
missed a package and call them up and ask them to try to drop it off again. 
UPS doesn't help at all when you are wondering why your package was not
received.

Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1992 00:44:01 GMT

Anyone interested in creating their own Sound Effects for Windows 3.1
may want to check out WAVEPOOL. Wavepool is a "C" (AWK) like language
with built-in math and sound-wave functions. WAVEPOOL also comes with
14 sound effects that you can modify yourself!

I've tested the generated WAV files with Windows 3.1 using a Sound
Blaster and they work great.

The WAV files also sound fine using the SPEAKER.DRV driver if you
don't have a Sound Blaster card. Be sure to set the speed correctly
for "PC Speaker Driver" in Set-up. On my 386/33 system system, a speed
of 265 is about perfect. Tweek the speed until CLOCK.WAV ticks 1/sec.

I have uploaded WAVEPOOL.ZIP to snake.mcs.kent.edu:/tmp and
wuarchive.wustl.edu:/MSDOS_UPLOADS. You should be able to FTP it
from these locations.

If you don't have FTP access, you can download WAVEPOOL from Exec-PC,
CompuServe (WINADV or IBMNEW) or from our BBS at 614-888-8056.

The current version of WAVEPOOL runs under DOS and only creates .VOC
files, so you will also need VOC2WAV.EXE to convert from VOC to WAV.

Here is what you need to get from wuarchive.wustl.edu:

    /MSDOS_UPLOADS/wavepool.zip
    /MSDOS_UPLOADS/speak.exe        (if you don't have Sound Blaster)
    /mirrors2/win3/uploads/VOC2WAV.ZIP

BTW: Wavepool programs are small ASCII files that can easily be
sent via e-mail. If you create some nice sound effects, please mail
me a copy :-)

Folks,

It appears that no matter what I do I cannot load my mouse driver into high
memory.  I am running DOS5 and WIN3.1 on a 386SX with 4MB of Memory.  IN my
config.sys I load HIMEM.SYS followed by EMM386.SYS NOEMS.  Then I load several
drivers into high memory and all except mouse.sys loads high.  I still have
over 44KB of high memory area left, but the mouse will NOT load high.  I have
tried to load only the mouse driver into high memory by REM'ing out the other
drivers and it still won't go.  Is there some way to determine what is going
on?  And please, I do not understand such things as 1FB0:3hf2 so please use
more common speech when discussing steps I might take.  Or tell me where to
go to learn about 1FB0:3hf2.

On a related note, I am interested in purchasing a memory manager.  Now that
WIN3.1 is out and the dust is beginning to settle, can anyone recommend a
safe, compatible package.  I am leaning towards QEMM or 386MAX, but don't
know which is preferred.

I really appreciate your help.

To follow-up on my own query:
I attended the Honolulu Microsoft Windows 3.1/Excel 4.0 product demo
yesterday (4/8) and had a chance to ask one of the Microsoft reps there
about my DDE server problem. She suggested I run REGEDIT.EXE (the
registration information editor software which is *not* documented in the
User Manual -- the only reference to the software in the manual is an index
entry saying to look at the on-line documentation). I fired up the software
and it told me that the REG.DAT registration file was corrupt. It
instructed me to get out of Windows 3.1, delete the file, and re-enter
Windows. I did so and the file was rebuilt properly. Now both the
SoundRecorder and PaintBrush work fine as DDE servers.

We have always been very careful to say that Windows NT will be "certifiable"
to C2 rating at first release, only the US Govt can say its "Certified",
and indeed the US Govt will only certify available products. You can
start the certification process early, and we have done that. PC Week's

This isn't quite correct. I have rev 1.05 of the DSP chip and it works
with 3.1 okay. Based on the documentation I've got, Microsoft suggests
getting the upgrade, because there is more overhead associated with
the old chip, but it isn't required.

Subject: Win3.1/Smartdrv/Stacker problem (again)
Organization: University of California, at Berkeley
Distribution: usa
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1992 05:58:57 GMT

Well, I just installed Windows 3.1 tonight, and forgot all about the
warnings posted last week (?) about not caching the stacked drive,
and wound up with a write-protected c: drive.  Luckily, scheck was 
able to fix it (at the cost of losing some non-essential files), but
even after reading the comments in the setup.txt file, I'm still not
sure of a few things when using Win3.1 with Stacker 2.0:

Setup.txt says to put the drive parameters (C- D+ etc...) in the 
smartdrv line in config.sys, but the manual seems to say that you
only need to put smartdrv in the config.sys (in addition to the
autoexec.bat) if your hard drive controller cannot work with virtual
memory.  I've tried putting the drive parameters in my autoexec.bat,
but then I get errors on bootup, saying that it can't cache the
specified drives (I guess it's because the drives have been swapped
already by the time it reads the autoexec?)

For the time being, I have 
	loadhigh c:\smartdrv.exe 		in my autoexec
and 	device=c:\smartdrv.exe c- d- e+ f+ 	in my config

(c & d are my stacked drives, e & f are my swapped physical drives)
which doesn't give me any errors, but I'm not sure if it's doing
what it's supposed to, or if this is still unsafe.  Also, when I
check "mem /c," I find 2 entries of smartdrv in conventional memory
and another instance of it in upper memory.  (Devicehigh gives me
errors, while loadhigh works ok, with smartdrv.)

So:	(1) Do I need smartdrv in my config.sys as well as in my
	    autoexec.bat?
	(2) Where do I put the drive parameters?
	(3) Is it ok to put smartdrv in upper memory?
	(4) Is the smartdrv that comes with Win 3.1 version 4.0?
	    I couldn't figure out how to get smartdrv to report its
	    version number.

And finally, setup.txt also suggested that you should leave twice
as much hard disk space unstacked as you have memory.  So, since I
have 4MB of memory, I should leave 8MB of my 40MB hard drive
unstacked????  Why?  When I was installing Win 3.1, I had set aside
4 MB of contiguous disk space for my swapfile, but the installation
program suggested a swapfile size of 1.9MB; and when I tried to 
increase the swapfile size, I got a message saying that Windows 
wouldn't use the extra swapfile above 1.9MB, so "are you SURE you
want to increase the size of the swapfile?"  Well...not when it says
it won't use it; so I left the swapfile as it recommended.

Any explanations?  (either about why I got the 1.9MB limit, or about
why the manual suggests twice as much unstacked disk space as memory?)

Any help would be appreciated,

Pc-Kwik disk cache does work with win31.  I am using QEMM and SuperPCK
with win31 with no trouble.  I have not evaluated SuperPCK against
Smartdrv.  However, I expect to move to Smartdrv for a very specific
reason.  I am using an UltraStore 12F ESDI controller.  UltraStor
has tested this controller for FastDisk compatibility and reports no
problems.  Under win30, SuperPCK required that I have the statement

	VirtualHDirq=FALSE

in system.ini for an ESDI drive.  This statement will not allow FastDisk
to be enabled according to an UltraStor representative, and represents a
limitation of SuperPCK's cache, and not the controller.  So, I can
start using Smartdrv and take advantage of FastDisk immediately.  In the
meantime, I will check with SuperPCK and see what they have to say.
