One vital step that nobody has mentioned yet...  to make Windows
Terminal use kermit protocols when you select "Transfer/Send Binary"
you must have previously chosen "Settings/Binary Transfer/Kermit".

Mark, Take a look at the June 16,1992 issue of PC Magazine for a review of
all visual programming tools available at that time. It includes a review of
Realizer which was at that time owned by some other company.

Subject: Simple way to login/out to Novell from W4WG
From: extim@lure.latrobe.edu.au
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1992 22:06:44 GMT
Organization: VAX Cluster, Computer Centre, La Trobe University 

We have a small Lantastic network and will soon be getting Novell
connections. I am considering installing W4WG to preserve the workgroup
functionality while allowing the access to the Novell stuff. At present
our workgroup is open (ie no login/passwords) but I would need to add
this to anything involving Netware.

My question is - is there any easier way of implementing login/logout
than currently available in W4WG where it seems to me there are a large
number of nested windows to open before those functions are available.
I am thinking of an applet that floats on the desktop (like the EXIT
button if you have seen it) which gives direct access to login.

Any ideas?
Thanks for your contributions

I have recently seen some Windows applets on the Future Watch programme
on CNNI. One is a Star Trek screen saver which plays scenes from the
original Star Trek with sound effects. I have also seen a program that
allows more events to have sounds attached to them eg. Maximize, Close,
click etc. rather than the six or seven that Windows allows as default.

The Future Watch program does not seem to take into account that people
might want to buy these things and provide details of how to obtain them,
they just show them and say "Isn't that neat!", damn good program though.

Anybody have any details on either of the above goodies ?

I have been reading a review of Ultrafax from Z-Soft and it seems to be a better
alternative.  In addition to OCR (which I personally believe may or may not work
although the dealer reckons that it is 95% accurate) it also features
*       the ability to comment and anote faxes on screen.
*       support for halftones and greys
*       filters to removes spots and dots
*       the ability to send files as faxes (9600 baud transfer) to another
        Ultrafax site
*       Support for scanners including hand scanners (i.e. scan directly to a
        fax)
*       multiple zooms and thumbnails
*       cropping to kill off edges and fax headers

And a 30 day money back guarantee.  Unfortunately I cannot try it as I have a
fax board which only supports its own proprietary slopware (MAXFAX V2 board..
avoid it like the plague).

Having purchased other Z-Soft products (Photofinish, PC-Paint) I am impressed
with the company and the standard of the software.  I bought Photofinish V1.0
and have only found 1 bug (when trying to read a slightly modified PCX format
file).

There are several different ways to accomplish this. One is with section
breaks. In WFW, each section can have different margins. The only problem
with this is that every document becomes at least 2 pages long, and if
you press the print button you will get two pages out, even for one page
letters.

A better way, IMHO, is to use hidden text. The text can say something
like: "Begin typing your letter after this text".

Enclose the hidden text in a table with no borders or shading. Make
the table sufficiently large so that text following the table will be
below your letterhead. Use a frame if necessary.

Make sure that hidden text
printing is turned off, but is displayed to the user. Each letterhead
document begins with the hidden text enclosed in the table. The table
occupies sufficient space at the beginning so as to leave enough
room for the letterhead.

My hidden text has the red color attribute so that there's no mistaking
the fact that it is hidden text.

Let us know what you finally do.

I assume that when you say you want to print odd/even pages, you want to
print on both sides of the page.

You know, I thought this was easy (it is on WORD for MAC) but I just looked
around in my W4W and couldn't figure out how to do it.

There is something about "facing pages" in the "Format, Page Setup" dialog
box, but I'm not sure what it is.

If you figure it out, please let me know!

I have had some problems as well. The major one being that my keyboard
goes away on me.  I will be typing merrily along and then it is like my
keyboard became unplugged.  I had this problem before and I could not
figure out what was causing the problem.  I reinstalled my windows.  I
ran for a long time without any screen saver.  I am usually playing
Falcon 3.0, so there was no need for me to worry.  Since I am now on a
windows kick(and a ST fan), I installed the ST saver.  Within 5 minutes,
the same thing happened.  I took ST out of the load line and the problem
went away.  This really sucks!  Especially when your in a DOS session
and the keyboard goes away.  Had to reach for the handy reset button.

Now I use Screen Antics(tm).  It works within windows screen savers and
it is a lot more entertaining.  Give it a try.  It is made by seirra.

later,

The problem is is that its not quite as easy as you describe.  I have
the same problem and have tried all of these options, and still cannot
get a download from the mainframe on either the Terminal program or
WinQVT (V4.78?).  I did get Win100 to work, but when the mainframe's
busy, I don't want to be manually entering phone numbers all day.

Another product you might want to consider is SlideWrite Plus
for Windows. It's main advantage is that it is EASY. You can
create a usable graph with error bars in minutes with it.
It has a lot of flexibility, but you don't have *complete*
control over every aspect of the graph. You can easily
create a publication quality graph with it though. 
However, for real control when it comes to placing multiple figures
on a page, etc. I print my SlideWrite graphs to disk as
CGM files and import them into Aldus Freehand. Once in there
any aspect of the figure can be manipulated at will. It's
especially nice to have full access to all of your system's
fonts, which many scientific graphics programs don't allow you. 
This method seems to give me the best of both worlds, because
I can quickly create fine-looking graphs with SlideWrite that
are great for most purposes and only spend a lot of time
fine-tuning the graphs in FreeHand when I'm submitting a
manuscript.

SlideWrite is *much* easier to use than SigmaPlot, and I think
the output is just as good. It is from Advanced Graphics Software
of Carlsbad, CA (phone (619) 931-1919.) They have a free demo
disk that should give you an idea of whether it would work
for you. I think it runs around $340 (not sure whether that
is an educational discount price or not).

Vince,
If you upgrade to Version 8.0 of PC Tools, you may notice that the 
interference between the foreground and a background tape backup under 
Windows seems to have lessened a bit. However, the folks at Central Point 
seemed to have altered the file header of the tape master file in the 
process, because an older backup tape cannot be read by the newer 
application. 8-( Oh well. Hope this helps.
