I hope that someone can help me with a frustrating problem.  It
seems that one of my applications, TERMINAL PLUS, is having a
problem displaying the Courier New-TTF.  Initially it worked
fine, but now whenever I switch to this screen preference, some
type of large, weird font is displayed that produces the correct
characters but is virtually illegible.  I have made sure that
indeed TT is enabled.  If anyone has a suggestion, or better yet
a remedy, I would be very grateful.

Merry Christmas,

I was wondering if there was some utility for windows that watched what
program was allocating what memory, and of what type?  I have a bunch of
EMS memory, and I'd like to see if anything is using it.  Also, I'd like to
check out how much mem is being allocated by certain programs in order to
fine tune my system.  

As dreadfull as it may be, I have a 286-16 (it's actually faster than a bunch
of 386's I've worked on!), 4MB RAM, 1MB EMS, monochrome video, 160MB of HD
space.

The default fonts are easily changed.

Select the View option on the menu bar and select OPTIONS, then
in the list box select <datasheet>.

This will list all the default font conditions, just change them to

Either atis drivers suck or you've got something seriously wrong.  My
386/33 with a 1280 card runs text just fine.  A 486/66 should be fast;
what is your definition of "too slow"?  

Let this be a warning to those who might buy based on a "winmark" rating
alone.  Test real applications before you buy or have an option to return.

Sorry, I've got no hints for you right now.  Just the consolation that I had
the same exact problem bugging the hell out of me.  It didn't happen every
time, just when I was most easily frustrated.  Actually, it hasn't happened to
me in awhile, but now that I know that it wasn't just me, I'm inspired to
figure out what was going on.  One thing that seemed to make a difference
sometimes was not booting the machine with a CD in it.  (I guess I did have a
hint for you.)

Good luck and I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

I have gotten some techincal reference files all in postscript format.
Since I do not have a postscript printer but a NEC dotmatrix printer
P3200, I cannot print it out...but just see it on Windows using
GhostScript. I tried to print it with Ghostscript, but the resolution
was not very impressive... I tried again with WinFax (faxing my own fax
machine since WinFax supports up to 200dpi)..but Ghostscript says
"fax page not generated" or something like that...

My question is:

1. Is there any program for Windows (or even for DOS) that can print out
   postscript files using non-ps printer?
2. Is there any way to convert a ps file to ascii format?


Please help me...

Our office just updated to the HP Laserjet 4M, and it's in a dual
OS situation, mostly serving the Macs, but from time to time I send
a print job from windows.  We have a Garamond font that we use as 
our office standard lettering, it's the crucial point of our logo.

I've taken the Garamond font from the mac and installed it in ATM
in Windows 3.1.  My problem is that the 'printer' fonts show up in
the font selection window, such as ITCGaramond, and Garamond Three,
but my installed Garamond, which is Garamond Light Italic from Linotype
doesn't show in the selection, and I get a warning message from the
MS Works saying my garamond doesn't match the printer garamond.  Well
that's correct, I don't want the printer garamond.  My question is
twofold, how do I set this up correctly, and how can I make ATM work
in sync with MS Works for Windows, so that it can use the installed
fonts I've got?

Also, on a related note, the Kerning of the printer fonts is just
terrible!  Italic 'We' is spread way too far apart for even the
most novice user.  What can I do to improve this, since it's using
printer fonts and not ATM fonts?  I'm assuming it's not reading any
AFM files that I could load.  I've settled on using New Century Schoolbook
for my text body, but the office requires at least Garamond Light Italic
for the logo line.

Other than this, the HP Laserjet4M is a wonderful printer, the 600 dpi
resolution is really camera ready, so very crisp.  
Any help would be appreciated!\

HP Advancelink for Windows and NewWave at first glance may look like
a 2392A/700-94 terminal emulator, but when you get into it, then you
find that it's just the host integration product that you were looking
for.

Through the scripting language with the product, which has an excellent
DDE interface, it is possible to do just what you want. You can
have a button in the spreadsheet that fires up a macro that sets
off Advancelink and DDE's commands to it to get the requisite data
from the host and pass it back. All the user sees after the click
is the data appearing in a cell (or whatever the macro does with it).

There shouldn't be a problem running Telnet under Win 3.x. The PIF that comes 
with the software archive is sufficient. NSCA suggests that you run Telnet 
full-screen and exclusive, and that you use BIOS screen writes (as opposed to 
direct) in the CONFIG.TEL file. However, I have been running it successfully 
with direct writes, windowed in the background for quite some time. If you are 
still having problems, e-mail me a copy of your TELNET.BAT, FTP.BAT AND 
CONFIG.TEL files and I'll see if I can help.

You might want to consider using a Windows based TCP/IP interface like QVT/Net 
v3.03 instead. It runs smoothly, has news and mail services, and does not have 
the restrictions of non-Windows apps. You can get it from FTP.CICA.INDIANA.EDU 
in the /pub/pc/win3/uploads directory through anonymous ftp.

Good Luck.

Speaking of the virtual desktop in Power Launcher (a terrific product,
BTW), I've noticed a couple of infelicities.  It seems that one should
be able to size the v. desktop map, put it wherever you want on
your screen, and have Power Launcher remember size and location the
next time it comes up.  For me the map always comes up in the lower
left hand corner of the screen, larger than I want.  This happens
regardless of whether This happens regardless of whether the Maintain
Screen Ratio option is set.

Second, the virtual desktop map is very sensitive to mouse movement.
In particular, if you right click on a frame and then move the mouse
sligthly before you lift up your finger, you can end up slightly off
kilter, perhaps with the top of your app spilling over into the v.
desktop above it.  A plausible sounding fix would be to prevent the
right mouse from moving the frame until a second mouse click is given.
(Compare with Bigdesk.)  The only thing a first right click would do,
then, is move you accurately to the chosen v. desktop.  (Sounds good
to me anyway! :-)

Finally, occasionally, if a maximized program in a virtual desktop
window gets moved slightly, you can't get to it.  If you right click
on the VD map, you go to the right virtual screen, but if you then try
to click on the program window to make it active, you jump back to the
virtual screen you were just at.  If you try to use the task list to
switch, nothing happens.  When this occurs, I have to end the task
using the task manager.  Anyone else have this problem?  I'm running
on an NEC 386 SX20, 8 meg of RAM.

I've used the NCSA package with a SMC ethernet card under Windows.  As long as
you stay in full screen (DOS) mode, it works pretty well.  A sure way to
crash the machine is to pop NCSA into a window and try to move it.  As soon as
you do, down it goes.  Supposedly there are parameters to set in the config
file for Windows, but I never got it to work any better.  I've used FTP
Software's Telnet (windows one) and NetManage's with no problem.

Most EGA and VGA cards have a feature connector.  Your manual should
tell you whether your card has one or not.  Usually it would be in the
front where it tells you all the great things your card has.  You can
also look at the card.  There will be an edge connector about one inch
long along the top of the card or a bank of jumper pins on the face of
the card.  A feature connector allows your graphics card to directly
interface another piece of hardware.  It's sort of an expansion for the
graphics card.  In the case of the video blaster, that's how the
graphics are displayed.  The video information is transferred directly
between the "blaster" and your VGA card.
I find it humorous that they say "not more than 15MB".  Does this mean
that it won't run if you have 16MB of ram?  Strange.
