Hello netters,

	I downloaded TRASHCAN from cica (ftp.cica.indiana.edu now) and
unziped it.  When I put TRASHCAN in program manager group, it looks
normal but when I run it the icon appears strange.  It runs ok though.
Im wondering if this is happenning only to me.
	Probably I should describe how it appears on screen.  The icon's
background is not the background wallpaper, rather it is the colour of
DESKTOP colour in control panel.  I run White Resource Tool and checked
the icon in the executable file but it has screen colour for its
background...  So is this Win 3.1's problem?  I don't know if this could
be a potential bug in Win 3.1...

P.S.  I don't want any more bugs in Windows 3.1

I do it all the time. WIN3.1 and ATM 1.1. I mix TT and ATM fonts on

	Dear Networkers,

	I have a problem with installing and using Windows 3.1 with
DR-DOS 6.0. I know that I must add a parameter at the commandline when I
start windows 3.1 with the command "win", but I don't know which
parameter. Any suggestions?

Subject:      Win 3.1 tips and tricks

Hi,
   I went to one of the free Windows technical seminars today.  The only
thing I got out of it, except a neat excel 4.0 demo was the following
tricks for win 3.1.(supposedly from Bill G. himself)

  1) Hold down shift while Win 3.1 logo is showing to prevent the startup
folder items from running.
  2) Hold down shift while selecting exit windows to just save the desktop.
  3) Hold down Alt while double clicking on an icon to get properties dialog
box
  4) Hold down Alt while double clicking on the progman background to get
new item dialog box.
  5) Alt-Escape will bring all minimised apps to the foreground.
  6) You can double click on the Dos box corner to exit the dos session.
  7) Control shifting while doing a drag and drop paste will link instead of emb
   eding the item.

  I have only tested (2) and (4) so take the rest with a grain of salt.  Also
I have not RTFM so I don't know if any of these are buried in there somewhere
either.

Hello All!

Windows 3.1 finally arrived, :)  all has gone well but the use of the
mouse within an application while it is windowed.

I am using a Logitech trackball that of course works fine with win 3.1
I have FTP'd the newest beta of my video driver (Trident), and have
switched to the "T800.drv"  which is working.

the manual suggests MOUSE.SYS or MOUSE.COM.  I tried this with no
change in results.  (I did not remove the logitech driver.)

Anyone else having troubles?  Can someone with a Trident card and the
new beta video drivers verify that they are not the problem?  How about
any of you with a Logitech trackball.....

Any help would be appreciated.

The problem with page numbering is likely in your footer or header.  These
are created only for a paper or section.  If you need to change numbering
sequence or style, first establish sections using breaks.  Then create
the footer or header for the section.  The manual gives some pointers on this.

As to the margins and displays... Haven't encounterd the problem.

Subject: Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0 - Install problems
Organization: CS Department, Stanford University, California, USA
Distribution: bit
Date: 14 Apr 92 09:05:56 GMT

Has anyone noticed problems with the install routine for
NDW and windows 3.0?  After installation, none of the file
extension associations seem to work.  Even the tempfile.wbt
which is installed in the run section of win.ini doesn't
execute the batch runner - instead windows tries to execute
the .wbt file as an executable.

When I double-click on files in a drive window, NDW again
tries to execute the files ignoring the parent program
associated with the extensions.  Dragging a text file
on to the desktop results in the correct icon being displayed
(desktop editor) but a look at the properties field shows
the text file's name entered as the executable file rather
than as a parameter to the editor.

Examining the associations from the NDW file menu shows that
the correct relations are intact.  The Word Perfect file
manager correctly indentifies the associations and executes
parent programs.  My path includes the directories of
each of the programs which were supposed to be executed.

I did a full install over NDW 1.0 (which did work).  Am I
missing something stupid or is someone else having the same
problem.  Any suggestions?

X-To:         WIN3-L%UICVM.BITNET@uga.cc.uga.edu

    Well, maybe this is a boring and old question, but i am new on this list
    and just want to know, how compatible is win3.1 versus win3.0. Can I
    still use my old win3.0 software I developed, or will I have to rewrite
    all that stuff ? And what about commercial programs in the future.
    Will there be software only running on win3.1 or will everything work
    with win3.0 as well ?

Most 3.0 stuff should work fine.  You may need to make a minor tweak
or two, but unless you are doing something really ugly in your code it
should work fine.  We had to swap two lines of code and modify one
other line to make everything OK.

As for the future, Windows 3.1 provides many services that Windows 3.0
does not provide like drag-n-drop, bundled multimedia, TrueType, OLE,
etc.  I predict that since users are always feature-hungry, and these
new services are a way to add powerful features inexpensively
(Microsoft has done much of the work for you) most commercial
applications will soon require Windows 3.1.  Because Microsoft had
good betas in everybody's hands 6 months ago there will not be much of
a lag.  This will put a lot of pressure on IBM to provide a Win 3.1
compatible OS/2.

I would like to say thank you to all of you who had help me with]
this problem.
Few questions:
1. Where to find PCSOUND.DRV ?
2. After installing 3.1 I've clean up my HD and then run SpeedDisk,
before 3.1 it was taking about 12 minutes, now takes about 45, is it
due to new Smartdrive? (I had also installed Vshield).
3. PC which I have to use when printing is still using 3.0 therefore
I deleted all TTfonts and use ATM with standard Postscript fonts.
However in W4W 2.0a selecting in the whole page view font size Helvetica
14 gives me strange looking, compleatlly unreadable characters, switching
to other view cures the problem but than some other sizes becomes unreadable.
Any hint on what's going on?

In the same edition there is an excellent discussion on the ins and outs

Here's the inevitable question.

Is anybody using this one and if so what areyour feelings.

I have tried to install the Win 3.1 TrueType fonts in a directory other

The Fonts application on Control Panel has a checkbox which
you can turn off if you want the fonts to remain in a particular

fonts still get copied to SYSTEM.

Has anyone else tried this successfully?  Does Windows 3.1 require

Subject:      POTENTIAL SMARTDRV PROBLEMS

You may want to be careful in doing certain things with
the new smartdrv delivered with Windows 3.1 !

Re-booting from within a batch file may not work. For
example, if the following command were in a batch file:

  cd \
  copy config.net config.sys
  copy autoexec.net autoexec.bat
  boot

it won't work because of the write caching in smartdrv.
You must add the command:

  smartdrv /c

before the "boot" command or the buffer will not be
written (and thus the copies will not have actually
taken place before the "boot").

New features are great, once the "old" code is fixed
to work with it!

According to the Microsoft Win32 Programmer's Reference Libaray:

Windows NT (New Technology) is built on a 32-bit operating system
kernel.  Since it requires a 32-bit processor, it will not run on an
808x or 80286.  In addition to the 80386 and 80346 Intel processors, it
is also going to be available to run on MIPS RISC-based systems.

Windows NT does not require MS-DOS to function (as does Windows 3.x).
It is, however, compatible with MS-DOS and Windows 3.x applications.
Along with Windows NT comes the definition of the Windows 32-bit API.
(Windows 3.0 supports the Windows 16-bit API.)  The 32-bit API (called
Win32) is highly compatible with the 16-bit API (called Windows 16), but
also contains significant new features.  Plans are to add the 32-bit API
to MS-DOS Windows (the 3.x series as it is called today) in 1993.
Microsoft claims all Win32 features will be supported by both MS-DOS
Windows and Windows NT.  (Although I can't honestly say I understand how
they'll be able to do that without defining Win32 as a subset of the
eventual full 32-bit API that NT could be capable of.)
