You may request dfe104.zip from my mailserv@batpad.lgb.ca.us.

get dfe104.zip uuencode

...is the command.

Load your font with the 12K TSR dfkeep.exe included in the shareware
package, and it will take effect globally inside DV.  The neat thing
about it, though, is when you change video modes, dfkeep saves and
restores the font in all windows.  You can even change the global font
from inside the BigDOS window without exiting DV, once dfkeep is
loaded.  It also loads UltraVision fonts, and can edit them.

Oh, UltraVision is a commercial program that also does what you want.

  After traced the source of twm, I found that the dv/x server repeating 
send out event 28(PropertyNotify), cuase the twm to crash the memory each
15 secs... 
  I tried to  get rid off those dummy events, it seems work fine, the    
memory leak disappear..,(not sure..., however, I run it for several
hours with no memory damage, also not sure how to tell if a event is 
useful or not)
  However, all the twm window managers are avaible, twm, ctwm, vtwm. I tested
them several days, seem work fine. They can be ftped from ftp.csie.nctu.edu.tw.
  
ps. I wonder if that dv/x use the event as timer..., it was send out about
    times per seconds. or the bug ?

Thanks Michael.
 
As of last week, QD was still NOT shipping the Novell stack.  I heard
first there was a problem with terrible documentation (from Novell)
that needed to be fixed; then I heard from the 1-800 folks that
Novell still hadn't given QD permission to ship the thing.

How do you go about un-binding GO32 1.08 from an Xapp, and bind 1.09
to it instead?

If I remember the docs correctly, GO32 is attached to the executable
by a simple append operation (copy go32.exe+a.out program.exe).  Is
this right?

Can I take an app with 1.08 bound to it, and invoke it as if it had no
extender attached (i.e. 'go32 xv.exe' for the version of XV I have
that is bound with 1.08)?

Failing all that, who has a port of XV 2.21 bound with the 1.09 GO32?

Does it finally resolve the dead serial port problem that plagues
1.08, as I heard it did?  This is the reason I want 1.09... I run a
BBS and have to take everything off line to look at a GIF!  Kinda
kills the whole point of multitasking...

I've been running some experiments in order to try to pin this down a
bit closer.

With DV/X, Motif, my usual config.sys and autoexec.bat, "vmm on n" in
dos4gx.cfg, no files are left open if I start up DV/X and quit
immediately.

With DV/X, Motif, my usual config.sys and autoexec.bat, "vmm on y" in
dos4gx.cfg, DVXS0 and DOS4GVM.SWP are left open if I start up DV/X and
quit immediately.

With DV/X, DWM, my usual config.sys and autoexec.bat, "vmm on y" in
dos4gx.cfg, no files are left open if I start up DV/X and quit
immediately.

I then made a config.sys consisting of the following two lines only:

device=c:\qemm\qemm386.sys r:1 ram x=fe00-ffff i=0800-0fff ST:M
files=40

and put it on a boot floppy with no autoexec.bat.  Using this boot disc,
with DV/X, Motif, "vmm on y" in dos4gx.cfg, DVXS0 and DOS4GVM.SWP are
left open if I start up DV/X and quit immediately.

There appears to be a problem when using the DOS4GX vmm switch and
Motif.  Looks like I am going to have to take Michael Bolton's
suggestion and abandon Motif in favour of DWM after all.  This is a pity
- I bought Motif because I wanted to use it.

There's nothing to fix.  The Motif window manager that you can buy as an
option for DV/X is a straight port from the Motif you know and love (or
hate) on your UNIX X box.  They don't have m&t in the UNIX version, and
since the port is a faithful one, neither does the DV/X version.

If you want a window manager with m&t, the only one available in all of
X is the dwm that ships with DV/X.

There is no swapping at all under DESQview/X; close on exit is a setting

My Desqview/X doesn't seem to regonize my OAK Super VGA card in my 386 computer, during the installation, the setup program asked if I would like to use 640x480 16 colour mode or VGA custom setup, then I choose the 640x480 16 colour mode. However, dvx gives me Error; GRFVGA does not find the correct video mode ...

Is DvX doesn't support OAK chipset or I should use VGA custom setup? But how?

DVX 1.02, DWM (no Motif).

The User Guide (page 131) says under the heading "The Allow Close Window
Command" that "If this option is OFF, the program can only be closed
down by performing the program's ``quit'' command.  Furthermore, the
DESQview/X Quit command will not be available as long as any program
that has this option set to ON is running."

The second sentence is not reflected by my experience.  I have a program
where this option is set to OFF.  While the application menu disallows
the Close command, the DESQview/X menu happily allows me to execute the
Quit command.  This is a nuisance and contradicts the documentation. 
Any workarounds, patches etc?

I was really excited when I got my 9600 bps modem with MNP group 5 and
v.42bis and all of that...

Months of trouble.

I guess it's time to go buy two NS16550AN UART's and swap the chips on my
NEW serial card (com1 and com2)....I've optimized, read, fiddled, tried.

But mostly crashed.

When I was running 2400 bps, switching out a window didn't affect downloads
in the least - the files kept plugging away in the background.  Those
halcyon days are now a dim memory.

Oh, did I mention that I bought an external cuz I like to watch the lights?

Had I bought a card I doubt I'd have had all these problems.

I also use the same setup, though unfortunately do not do quite as
good with conventional memory because of the size of the SuperStor
driver (I upgraded to 2.0, which takes more memory).  But 4DOS on my
system takes only 262 bytes (!!! That's rights BYTES) of conventional
memory.  You should be able to do this with UMBLoad and UMBEnvironment
set to yes.  4Dos sure is a great program!

Thanks.  Brandon Allbery sent me a clear and detailed explanation of why
this is so.  I was misled by the fact that an X-station I use at a
client's site supports cut and paste and I mistakenly assumed that the
capability came from Motif.

here.
