   So, as long as system RAM is *less* than 15MB, this program should 
perform fine?  Is there really no minimum RAM requirement?

I've experience basically the same!  Qpro4win definitely bogs down my system...
especially when I try to plot graphs with many points.  I like the features of
the product, but its definitely a resource hog!  Hopefully Borland will fix this.

Sounds to me like you are confused about the meaning of kermit.

Kermit is two things.  1. There are programs called kermit (eg MacKermit
MSKermit, and in the UK BBCKermit) that are terminal emulator programs.
2. Kermit is the name of a file transfer protocol.

Now Windows Terminal is a terminal emulator program, and it includes
the ability to do file transfers using the kermit protocol.
You start Sending or Receiving by issuing commands via menus and
dialogue boxes, not by using commands like you would if running the MSKermit
program.
Hope this helps.

I have tried about six different ZIP shells for windows.  The only one that I
find acceptable is WinZIP.  You can find it on most BBS's and archive servers.

I have not tried XTree For Windows but I have read that it has a fairly nice 
ZIP utility bundled with it.  The package is commercial S/W and I am reluctant
to spend the money without a demo or test-drive first.  Does anyone have any comments about XTree's ZIP handling they can share?

He did not say that one was better than the others; he merely pointed out 
the study that showed the discrepancy and made some comments about how 
'loose' the U.S. tax code is, with a lot of things open to interpretation.

I've also had very similar experiences (embarrassing when the "demonstration
effect" occurs just as one wants to show one's boss where the money has been
invested :-(( ).

What exactly is meant by not booting THE MACHINE with a CD in it? The PC
without the CD-Rom turned on, or the CD-Rom without a CD loaded? The first 
won't work with the SCSI Adapter and driver I use (Trantor's MiniSCSI on the
Parallel-Port) since the driver won't load if it detects no SCSI device. The
latter also seems to make no difference.

Naturally the MS Driver MSCDEX has been loaded with /D:<scsi driver>
BEFORE windows was loaded.

What's more, I notice that when one attempts to reload the MS Windows driver
MCICDA.DRV from within Windows 3.1 (German Version), any CD which is in the 
CD-Rom player is ejected. Is that desirable behaviour?

I wonder if the problem has anything to do with the Windows software-controlled
eject function, since I used that and not the hardware eject on the CD-Rom?

I'd also be grateful for a solution .... please keep me posted if you want me
to test anything out.

I am not sure I understand your question, so excuse me if I answer the
wrong question.

When you use the Run Dos (^D) command in NDW, it uses the _DEFAULT.PIF
to decide whether your dos session should come up in full screen or
windowed. 

If you set up your own .PIF file, and associate it with an icon, and
put that file either in a program group, or on the desktop, or just
launch it from the file manager/ NDW direcotries, or through the run
command, you get the same effect. If your program comes up
windowed/not windowed, and you want the other mode, pressing ALT-ENTER
will toggle between modes. 

So, the answer is that the PIF file + Icon is the same. You can edit
your _DEFAULT.PIF to determine the default behavior of dos programs.
_DEFAULT.PIF is a part of Win 3.1, not of NDW.

hope this helps,

kartik

Hi,
        I am having an ongoing battle with Word Perfect Pacific (in Australia)
over Word Perfect for Windows.

Here they are still beta testing WPWin 5.2 and want $149 (=US$101) for the
upgrade.  I want to know if the upgrade will fix the following enhancements in
WPWin.
*       tabular collumn addition (function missing in WPWin 5.1 even though it
        is supposed to be 100% WP 5.1 for DOS compatible)
*       able to read WP Dos files without screwing up the font.
*       able to read WinWord files without screwing up the formatting
*       able to write WP Dos files without screwing up the formatting

In addition does WPWin 5.2 finally read WinWord 2.0 files.

Please mail me with the answers as I may need to forward them on to WP Pacific
as evidence.
