I've got an ESDI drive in my machine, and would like to add an IDE.
Some people tell me this is possible, others say it won't work.  Do you
have experience or advice?  (I know this trespasses on the domain of a
Windows list, but I imagine that the size of our apps has made this a
concern for others.)

I currently lock my port at 57600 using Procomm Plus for Windows, and haven't
come across any problems with data loss yet.  If I recall correctly, I
remember seeing something about a special int 14 driver during the pcplus/win
install, and I selected it.  I'm not sure what that does, but it could impact
communications performance.

I use a Gateway Telepath internal modem, and it does not have a 16550.  But
from what I can tell, it must have some form of internal buffering, because I
can open windows, play 16-bit sounds, and do other processor and bus intensive
work without it hurling.  I have yet to experience fifo overrun on my end.

So try and reinstall PC/Plus for Win, look for the int 14 option and choose
it.  Also, remove any statement regarding comxfifo in your win or system ini
because from what I've read here they can actually have opposite the intended
effect.

If I remember correctly, Windows will only use half the available
space for a perm. swapfile.  I suggest you shrink your existing 
compressed drive so that the free space on the uncompressed drive 
is at least twice as large as your desired swapfile size, create 
the swapfile, then expand the compressed drive again to use almost 
all the available space.

If you haven't tried Dropper then you should.
The newest version is available in the cica uploads directory.
Dropper lets you drop files and programs onto the desktop for
quick access to them.  I like much better that Norton Desktop.

I'm looking for a program that I can use with Dropper that will
let me drop folders from the File Manager onto the desktop (Like NDW)
for quick and easy access to files.

I am getting a strange RC warning while trying to execute  RC my-program.RES :

-----
RC : warning RW4005: Segment 3 (offset 0802) contains a
     relocation record pointing to the automatic
     data segment.  This will cause the program to crash
     if the instruction being fixed up is executed in a
     multi-instance application.  If this fixup is
     necessary, the program should be restricted to run
     only a single instance.
-----

The program is compiled as large-model application (I think that's relevant,
because I strated getting the warning after I switched from small model).

Does anyone have any idea what exactly this warning means?  And how do I locate
line of code using the info given in the warning message (i've tried .MAP
file, but I could not find relevant info there) ?

Please e-mail all replies

Thanks a lot,

The main thing you will get is TRUE Black printing.  Due to a seperate
 cartridge for the black printing.  Also in draft mode it is about twice as
 fast.  The color still takes a long time to pring out, but does look decent.
 I would recommend a used 500c and save an additional $200.

I had a problem very similar after installing the sound blaster drivers--
MIDI worked fine, but when I went into Control Panel/Sound all the WAV file 
listings were dimmed, and I could get no WAV playback. All of the drivers 
listed above showed as installed in the Driver option.

After digging, I found that there were copies of the various sound driver 
files in both /Windows and /Windows/System, with _different dates_. I copied 
the files with the later dates into _both_ directories (no Windows guru 
here!) and presto! Everything now works fine. I don't know if this is a bug 
in the SBPRO2 installation program or Windows.

Hope this works.

Hi,

I'm looking for a utility or some other method of printing a

is there a more straight-forward way of accomplishing the task
that will allow me to print the document directly from Windows
3.0?

You probably have the "granularity" set very high using the Desktop applet in
the Windows Control Panel.  Bring up the Desktop applet and set the Granularity
to 0 and everything should work fine.

It means you're flirting with disaster :).  Windows is a DPMI server.
PKZ204C seems to barf (depending on your memory configuration) when
DPMI is present - under DOS, Windows, or OS/2.  They suggest in the
docs that you turn off DPMI support when running under windows, I
suggest you turn off DPMI support period until the next release, or
you may find Windows locking up and doing very strange things.

Make a PKZIP.CFG in the same directory as your PKZIP.EXE and put
"dpmi=disable" in the file.

You have to configure the PC speaker driver to play long WAV files. This is
done (I think) through the Drivers entry in Control Panel. Select PC Speaker
and select Configure (or something similar). A dialog will pop up with various
options, including max playing time, volume, pitch, and enable/disable interrupts
during playback. Change the max time to whatever you want (mine is set to 10
sec), but remember that to get halfway decent quality, the interrupts must be
disabled, so your system is effectively frozen while the WAVs play. Keep this
in mind when setting max_time. If I've gotten any of the details wrong, feel
free to correct me.

the Diamond Customer Support area.  They were posted there yesterday
(Thur, Jan 21).  This version is called 2.03 - it looks like they only
fixed three of the drivers.  At least that's how many had 1993 dates on
them...

2) things that now work: I tested the following briefly-- Word for WIndows
tools/options works fine.  Microsoft Works for Windows works fine.
PC Magazine's WinBench 3.1 works without giving those irritating
horizontal lines (but I cannot give you my winmark score :-)  Procomm plus
for Windows didn't have big problems, but the occasional messed up pixels
haven't shown up yet.

3) speed seems to be fine.  I don't remember what my rating was on the
old ones, but I get 7.4M (on the old WinBench) at 800x600x256 on a 
386-25.  I don't think they are any slower, maybe even faster...

...I just checked and the three files with 1993 dates are: wsp48024.drv,
wspdpbf.drv, and wspdpsf.drv.

All of the above mentioned testing was done at 800x600x256

Good Luck!
