You guys are forgetting that these machines are IBM PS/2's.  The second internal
ESDI drive, if one can be found, runs about $800.00.  I could switch to a
second internal SCSI drive, but that is almost as expensive since the
microchannel scsi controller cards aren't cheap.  (I'd love to be able to
just plug in 80mb ST296n scsi drives for $320.00 like I have done with the
AT's.)

David Cutler heads up the Windows NT development team - He came to
Microsoft with other members of his team from DEC's west coast labs
"next door" to Microsoft, in Bellevue. Windows NT is the 9th operating
system he will have developed, with the last one being VAX/VMS, DEC's
flagship operating system. The team as a whole has developers from many
other projects, including some with Mach & Unix backgrounds, and of
course people with Windows and OS/2 backgrounds.

Windows NT is 100% new work, developed over the last 3 years at Microsoft, 
and is designed to contain the best facilities of the best operating
systems to-date.

Its valid to compare the microkernel of Windows NT to Mach, but
Windows NT is not 'based on Mach'. Operating systems which use
Mach, layer on their own security (NextStep uses Unix security). Since
one of the goals of Windows NT was to support multiple operating system
APIs, we layerd the security _into_ the microkernel design. The
combination is designed to US Govt. B-level standards, and with
the various subsystems we'll deliver, will be certifiable to US Govt
C2 level.

"Real-world" implementations of Mach also tend to compromise its
modular design to deliver better performance. Windows NT's
microkernel was designed to improve upon the message-passing
mechanisms in the microkernel such that speed and modularity could
both be retained.

Windows NT is becoming 'real' (complete and stable) because of
the experience and careful design by the team, and we're already able
to demonstrate an impressive number of Win32 applications, because the Win32
API really is upwardly compatible with today's Win16 apps.

Subject: Win 3.1 "jerky"?
Date: 10 Apr 92 07:15:00 GMT

Does anyone know why Win 3.1 might multitask my DOS apps in "fits and
spurts"?  Whenever I have a DOS window open and then switch to another
task (windows or DOS) the program seems to pause and halt in the
background--I can watch it literally pause for several seconds (up to
ten, it seems) before continuing.

Needless to say, this makes downloading in the background next to
impossible.  Keeping the DOS app iconized or in full-screen mode helps
some, but not that much.  I could run any number of tasks and
do DOS file transfers in the background under Win 3.0.  I have a 486/50
and only a 2400 v.42bis modem--this should be working!

Any thoughts about "jerky" DOS windows?  I've worked through many of the
troubleshooting suggestions in the Win Resource kit, but so far to no
avail.  Any suggestions--general or specific--would be most welcome.

"Cannot write to Com".  The tech support at Freelance claims they

What is the currently planned upgrade path for windows 3.1 users?

Is it windows NT or is it win4.0/Cairo ?

I here people in this group thinking about upgrading from win 3.1 to
windows NT, when I had alway thought that windows NT was meant as an 
upgrade path for MS OS/2 server platforms and as alternative to unix.  
Windows NT isn't meant for the masses like OS/2 2.0 or Windows 3.x.

Isn't Bill Gate's current vision to route windows 3.1 users into some 
product called windows 4.0 or Cairo which will be out some time in 1993?

NT has alot more cool stuff on it than either of them. For instance, you can
"own" a whole suite of resources, from files, to printers, etc, and assign  
permissions to not only the 3 groups in UNIX (Owner, Group, and Everyone), but
to individual users, or hierarchies of users, or other groups of users, all  
from within the new "Windows" revamped interface. That's something a user can't  
do in UNIX. Also, the GDI is much improved, with API's for Bezier curves and  
paths. IPC will be well supported. It will also support Bill Gates' vision of  
"information at your fingertips" with a very object oriented file system and  
system-wide resource browser tools. I've seen some demos of it, and I think  
it's going to be great (Not to mention make OS/2 look like a toy). And since it  
uses a superset of the Windows API that we have now, application porting will  
be particularly easy (especially if you follow the programming guidelines in  
the Win3.1 SDK). It has been running for almost a year now, so with time out  
for beta testing, it's not all that far off.

I'm trying to control the colors of my edit controls by catching the WM_CTLCOLOR
in the parent window procedure and it doesn't seem to be working correctly.
The background for the edit control isn't being changed but the characters are
being colored with the correct foreground and background.  As soon as I backspace
over the characters the background is erased also.

The strange thing about this problem is that this code works in Windows 3.1 but
not 3.0.  It also works if I change the edit control to be ES_MULTILINE.

I'm following an example in Petzold where he does the same thing for scrollbars.  
The code looks like the following:

if ( HIWORD(lParam) == CTLCOLOR_EDIT )
    {
    SetBkColor( wParam, some_color);
    SetTextColor( wParam, some_other_color);

    point.x = point.y = 0
    ClientToScreen( hwnd, &point)
    UnrealizeObject( some_brush);`
    SetBrushOrg( wParam, point.x, point.y);
    
    return( some_brush );
    }

The SetBkColor() and SetTextColor() seem to be working fine because the characters
are printed with the correct foreground/background colors.  

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx, John

I'm writing a little communications program under Windows 3.0.
It appears that Windows only checks for carrier detect (RLSD) while

sends out a frame, and waits for a frame in reply, and it would be nice

writing 'throw-away' characters to the comm port while reading, just to be
able to detect CD loss.)

In fact, TFM even says
    CE_RLSDTO  Receive-line-signal-detect timeout. RLSD is low for the
               duration specified by RlsdTimeout while trying to 
               transmit a character.

Is this true?  Is it improved under 3.1?  Any proposed work-arounds?

Excuse my ignorance but my programming platform of choice is TPW.  There is a 
program in the SDK which I am trying to port to TPW that uses a .lib file.
What is this files format and how can I use it in TPW?
Thank you.
