Following is an extract from this very list about a month ago.

Also, here's another chance to mention that there are search mechanisms
within LISTSERV and they're no more difficult than posting mail:

Here's a very simple LISTSERV search file:

//Looking JOB Echo=YES,Reply-via=MAIL
Database search DD=Mine
//Mine DD *
Search WIND CHILL in WEATHER
Index
Print All

Just send it to LISTSERV@whereever just as you would other commands.
Change the section "WIND CHILL" to any key words you are hunting for --
doesn't have to be exact.  And substitute the name of the list for
"WEATHER".  In this case, you could try "GATEWAY INTERNET COMPUSERVE"
for keywords and WIN3-L for the listname.

There's also add'l help you can obtain from the LISTSERV facility which
will describe lots of features for searching.  That way, you can look for
questions you think might have been posted before, especially recently!

 I think that's not right, there is a Internet Gateway to log onto Compuserve,
 but it's not cheap: about 60$ per hour (I think).

 The Internet adress of the Gateway is hermes.merit.edu <35.1.48.160>.
 At the "Which host?"-Prompt you must enter  "compuserve" and then you must
 hit the Enter-Key, if the "Call connected" apears. Now you are at the
 Compuserve Login-Prompt ("User ID:").

 I don't know how it works, because I don't have accessed the service and I
 don't know which services you can use with method.

The full directory path at CICA is /pub/pc/win3/uploads.  But on checking again
I no longer see the uucode17.zip file there.  Perhaps it was removed.  It is
still located on SIMTEL though.  Now SIMTEL uses a bizarre directory structure,
so here it is:

PD6:<msdos.windows3>

At least I think it is PD6.  You can get the file from one of SIMTEL's mirror
sites though.  I usually use wuarchive.wustl.edu.  On this site the file is
located in /mirrors/msdos/windows3.

Good Hunting

You can get AllType from Atech Software.  This will convert Adobe fonts into
TrueType.  It will also convert Corel DRAW WFN fonts if you use Corel DRAW
to convert them to ATM format first.  You can contact ATECH Software at:

                  ATECH SOFTWARE
                  5964 La Place Court, Suite 125
                  Carlsbad, California 92008

                  Phone: (800) 748-5667
                         (619) 438-6883
                  FAX:   (619) 438-6898

ATECH also has a lot of Foreign character set typefaces available, so they
might have Hungarian.  What does the Hungarian character set consist of?
Another product, FontMonger, will also do such conversions.  You might
contact Harry Kriz ("Harry M. Kriz" <KRIZ%VTVM1.BITNET@pucc.princeton.edu>),
another correspondant of this list.  He has a copy of FontMonger and can
give you more details on it.

Subject:      EMM386 Frames

We need to establish a CONFIG.SYS that includes EMM386 (to run
Windows 3.1).but also works outside Windows for expanded memory.

If we use the RAM switch, we must define a page frame.  Any suggestions
as to which location to use on a PS/2?  (running DOS 5.0).
We've tried FRAME=D000 but we get warning message.. "option ROM or RAM
detected within page frame"  and it loads EMM386 on some models, doesn't
on others.

Any suggestions are welcome.  THanks.

RE To do list.

I am forever on the quest of the ideal PIM/diary todo list. I remeber using
a PD or shareware program I think call OUTLINE (PC-OUTLINE 3.34 ???), this
was OK, I've tried Sidekick (poor)  TP from Power Up (basic but OK)
and have Lotus Organizer waiting to be installed. Having said that working
on paper still works the best.

Here is a clarification on my earlier post.

1. PCX2FONT is compatible with HP lasers. I don't know the "type" of font
   it is, but I don't think its TT or ATM. Just a regular font you download.

2. LOADFONT is a menu driven fontloader that advertises the capability to
   download compressed fonts without having to uncompress them first.

3. Both programs are shareware.

If we had a *REAL* ether-net, we could put those laser printers in orbit
where they can help restore the ozone!  :-)

I don't like having to send this to the list BUT......

Will somebody please unsubscribe me from this list!!!  I have been trying to
unsubscribe for months.  I have gone through the "correct" procedure and sent
the "correct" commands but I am never unsubscribed.  I joined with an address
that no longer exists balarie@ruby.tufts.edu.

Thank you...

Subject:      Bitmapped graphics (BMP)

Does anyone have information (or can you recommend a source) on the format of
bitmapped graphic files (BMPs)?  You know, like if I wanted to write a
program to create them?  Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

Subject:      UUencode & UUdecode programs

Dear netters,

Let me burden you with some information nobody asked for:

In the last few days there has been a number of inquiries about UUencode- &
UUdecode-programs for Windows. Two suggestions were made:

        Extract v. 3.04         file EXTRCT34.ZIP
        UUcode v. 1.7           file UUCODE17.ZIP

Out of curiosity, I FTP'd both of these programs and started the trial period
for myself. My first findings are:

Extract certainly has the looks: it's colourful, has beautifully customized
buttons, a splendid help file and a somewhat sexy overall feel. Somehow the
word 'Borland' keeps popping up in my mind when I look at it. It's made by
Darren E. Penner from Canada. Registration will cost you a stamp.
Interestingly enough, the program will also run as a DOS program.
BUT: it's only a UUDEcoder. It works well on my system.
                   ~~
UUcode on the other hand looks a bit shy. It's nothing more than just an
empty window with 4 menu choices: Decode!, Encode!, Exit! & About! (don't ask
me what the exclamation signs mean). It's made by Bruce Sabalaskey from .
Illinois, and registration is $5,00. On my system, it behaves perfectly. I
consider it a very useful little program.

My trial period continues.


Sincerely,
