There is one such (I think) ATM font on CICA. It is called TECHPHON.ZIP
and is in the WIN3/FONTS/ATM directory.

The description says "TechPhonetic Int'l Phonetic Alphabet Font".

Subject:      reverse mode command

Hi folks,

        I realize this isn't a Windows question and apologize, but I'm
hoping someone may have the answer.

        I have a piece of software that will only allow printing to a COM
port, and this is a large problem as it will be on a Novell network and
the capture command will only work with LPT ports.

        What I am in need of is a utility which will do the reverse of the
DOS mode command , that is instead of assigning LPT1 to COM1, assign COM1
to LPT1. If anyone knows of something that will do this, or has an
alternate solution, please let me know direct so as not to further clutter
this list. my address is Andym@550sherb.lan.mcgill.ca.

TIA,

Subject:      40,000 copies of a picture

   In Word for Windows 2.0, I want to create a letterhead document,
which should include a logo.  The logo is an .EPS file of about 78K.
Obviously, we don't want to duplicate this 78K in each memo we write,
any more than windows.h should be copied into every C program that says
#include <windows.h>.  Therefore, I pulled the .EPS file into a document,
and stored it. Then, in the memo file, I inserted a LINK to the first
document. Unfortunately, this includes the entire file referenced, not
just a pointer to the file.  INCLUDE works the same way, as does EMBED.
The only thing that seems to work is RD, but that only works when
creating Table of Contents or Indexes.  The only workable idea I came
up with is to create a letterhead template, with a macro which inserts
the logo at the top of the first page, then prints the document,
then deletes the logo.  Not too clean, but better than nothing.

   Anybody got a better idea?

  There exists a 3D scene editor for the popular public domain ray-
  tracer POV-Ray; it is in the POV Sources Library (8) in the GRAPHDEV
  Forum of CompuServe. The files are PVB20.ZIP, PVIMG.ZIP, and PVSCN1.ZIP.

ftp.Informatik.uni-oldenburg.de and Avalon.chinalake.navy.mil are good
sites for finding PoV stuff.  The first one is in Germany, and it
usually has everything.  There is an Internet maillist for PoV at
DKB-L%TREARN.BITNET@pucc.Princeton.EDU or DKB-L@TREARN.BITNET for
bitnet people.  DKB was the predecessor program that PoV was derived
from.  The actual developers of PoV live on Compu$erve, not Internet
(sigh) but the list has a lively group nevertheless.  If you cannot
find the files at either anonymous FTP site, try posting the question
to the list.

Hi! VOC files are associated with SoundBlaster cards. The don't differ too
much from WAV files (I think!) and the format of VOC files was posted on this

The QPRO for Win we have installed in our file server is different from those 
described in the book called PC Magazine Guide to Quattro Pro for Window (1993).
Both refers to version 1.00. For example the Dialog Box for About Quattro Pro, 
ours has only memory available, whereas the illustration from the book depicts
two more information i.e. Object usage and Free GDI.

Anyone has any idea? Is it a different edition?

Hello,

I am a new subscriber, not to mention a new user of Windows 3.1.
Please excuse if this is a an old question, I did try and
search the archives and didn't get any hits.  So here goes...

I find Cardfile to be extreamly usefull.  My only complaint is
that the size of the cards can't be changed, or can they?

Does someone know a way to change the card size in the Cardfile
program, or is there another version of cardfile out there with a
different card size or even better yet the ability to set the card
size?

Please respond to me directly and I will summarize for the list.

Hi Wai!
The bells and whistles Windows gives your mouse (I.E. mouse trails, Windowed
mouse) are dependent of both your mouse driver and your display driver.
If your mouse is MS compatible, use the MSMouse driver instead, and try to get
the newest upgrade of your display driver, or try using one that came W/Windows

I called PKWARE on this one, and they claim that its a problem
with Norton. They also said that Symantec (Norton) is working on the problem.

Unfortunately, I don't think it is legal.  At least, I'm aware that fonts
converted using Alltype -- even public domain fonts -- are prohibited from
being distributed by the license.  The same probably goes for Fontmonger.

You can probably purchase Alltype for about $45(American).

Also, from what I understand, truetype fonts posted to cica generally are
locked by the archive maintainers until the legality of the fonts can be
verified.

Date: 9 Jan 93 17:48:51 -0600
Organization: University of Northern Iowa

I am going to try this again since I got some message back saying that my last
post was undeliverable.
I have a friend that is having problems with Crosstalk.  Because he doesn't
have Internet or USENET access I am posting this for him.
He just bought a copy of Crosstalk for Windows 2.0 and has noticed some
problems with the program.  He is wondering if there are others experiencing
the same problems.

1.      He cannot consistently connect to certain hosts.  Sometimes Xtalk will
senses a carrier detect and other times it doesn't and tries to redial.

2.      He is unable to get to the terminal so that he can directly send modem
commands.  One of the places he dials into has dialback security.  He knows
that Xtalk has a auto-answer script but he does not want that type of feature
enabled.  He wants to be able to type ATA to the terminal so that Xtalk will
answer the phone when he wants to tell it too.

3.      In VT320 emulation he cannot get the break key to work.  Also when
trying to define new keys he cannot seem to create new key definitions.
What the manual says is supposed to work does not work at all.

4.      He is having difficulty with the fonts with the application.  For
example the Keyboard Editor he cannot see the whole label of the key.  The
font is too big.  He wants to know if there is a way to adjust the font.
Another instance when he uses Session Settings all of the fonts are messed up.
(He can't see all of the words or options because they are hidden underneath
the icon button list.  Plus there are some strange boxes outlined in the
dialog box (Sessions Settings) that he has no idea what they are for.
It looks like something that happens when you first build an application
and you made a mistake in how you designed the dialog box.  He thinks that it
is because he has set windows in SVGA mode.

Any comments or suggestions is more than welcome.

This is an official version, not a hack. Be careful though. There are 
copies floating around that are inflicted with a virus. As a side 
note, files zipped with this version cannot be unzipped with the 
previous version of PKZIP. Xtree for Windows will not unzip files 
created with 2.04.

In the MS Access forum on compuserv, most of the recommendations for this
problem are to get a minimum of 8 megs, some even recommend more. I have
access but not installed yet so don't have my own opinion.

I borrowed similar equipment. We scanned the images with the
DeskScan software (as 24 bit colour), saved the scans immediately
as TIF files. Later we used Corel PhotoPaint on these files
with none of the problems you report.

Subject: DOS programs from within Windows
Date: 11 Jan 93 13:14:11 -0500

I have this problem that I didn't used to have before I installed a Diamond 
Stealth VRAM board in my 386/40. It seems that when ever I run a DOS 
program or shell out to DOS, either in a Window or full screen, from Windows 
3.1 and return to Windows, Windows goes flakely. Icons start blanking 
uncontrollably, the screen goes blank, the mouse cursor has a mind of its 
own. In other words Windows is useless, I have to exit the best I can and 
restart to gain control. I have even gone so far as to eliminate all DOS 
program icons so that I don't have to deal with the problem. This shouldn't 
be! I used to have a Paradise SVGA board without this problem, but now I 
do. Does anyone else have this problem, or familiar with the solution?
