Shucks, I had to look it up but here it is:

Information Modes
P.O. Drawer F
Denton, TX 76202
(800) 628-7992

The $25 Network really does cost that much.  Pretty good serial network for 
two or three computers.  Also includes a utility called QDT (Quick 
Diagnostic Test) for serial ports that works!!!  It correctly reports COM/
IRQ assignments and invariably (for me) indicates whether or not there is 
something wrong with the serial port.

    The only way to unstack a stacked drive is through a complete
    backup.

    Quarterdeck has released a technical paper about this available on
    most BBS's or Quarterdeck BBS itself.  The company that puts out
    Stacker has also put out a revised SSWAP for this, also available
    from many BBS's.

It bears repeating:

Send your unsubscribe requests to LUSTSERV@UICVM
                                 "LISTSERV@UICVM"

DO NOT send them to WIN3-L

Send a note containing the message

   UNSUBSCRIBE WIN3-L

(and nothing else) to leave the list.

If you're new to listservers, there is some valuable information available
to you from these same listservers -- mail routing is not all they do!

Sending a message (with no SUBJECT:, no FROM:, no nothing!) to the
listserver of your choice, with the text
   INFO ?
will yield a short document telling you about documentation available
from listservers.  Sending
   INFO PRESENT
will, instead, yield an introductory presentation.  Sending
   INFO GENINTRO
will yield a much longer document on the features of listservers,
including directions on how to use the INFO command.

If you're new to listservers, it can be useful reading.  For one
thing, it will tell you how to get an index to archived list traffic,
and how to get an archive file to look through it for references to
things like "Secret Screen" (sorry, couldn't resist).

There's lots more, so get the documentation -- then you'll have it
when you need it.

I've used WFW for about 2.5 years, regularly and was very satisfied with
it. However, a colleague persuaded me to try AMI and I have not used WFW
once since then. IMHO there is very little competition - I find AMI easier
to use, simpler to understand, the help files are more intelligible. I find
the layout, too, easier to work with.

One the whole, a BIG thumbs-up for AMI.....

I have found that when some public domain truetype fonts are expanded to
about 40 pnts, the characters are repllaced by squares! Is this a fault
with Win31 or the fonts? It seems to be with those fonts with lots of
detail.. would it be there is too much detail for Win31 to handle so it
chokes? I have allso found that some fonts seem ok on screen (even preview)
but print some characters out on the printer (canon bj10ex) as squares!
Please somebody tell me whats going on? Thanks..

WinRIX is a paint program that runs under Windows.  A demo version of
it is included with Diamond's SpeedStar, Stealth, and TrueColor cards.
The demo version is not fully functional, but with the demo version
there is a card to get a discount on the full package.  WinRIX is able
to deal with GIF files, 256-color images, and 24-bit Targa files.  Its
main strength is its ability to edit and modify these files.  It has a
number of interesting tools for manipulating photo-quality images and
controlling the "sharpness".  For best results, install a Windows
driver to run in a 256-color super-VGA mode.

Subject:      conventional memory

Dear List Members,

   I work in the Administrative Computer Center at the University of
Connecticut and have recently encountered a problem with Windows 3.1
running on Zenith computers (25sx's and 20dx's).  The problem is this:

   * After installing Windows 3.1, over the original Win 3.0, the
     conventional memory available to DOS boxes, and subsquently DOS
     programs, is significantly reduced.

   I don't really think the problem is hardware related but am open to
anyone's suggestions and insights.  In the interim I have eliminated
SMARTDRV.EXE (as well as VIRUS protection on some) from the configuration
to free up the needed memory.  Thanks in advance, Ken Snyder.


P.S.  I am not on the discussion list, so please address all mail directly
      to me: INFOSY13@UCONNVM.  Thanks.

I've never had any serious problems with v2.7 too. I *did* notice
that I lost some system resources after every session. So I switched
to the debugging version of Windows 3.1 included in the SDK.
After starting WinQVTNet, DBWIN, which prints the debugging
information from Windows, went berserk with a stream of messages
about invalid accelerators. When I terminated WinQVTNet, DBWIN told
me a number of fonts weren't released.

This probably means that WinQvtNet has never been tested with the
debugging version of Windows. It also means that if Windows is
already low on resources, unpleasant things might happen...

Well Corno, it is an interesting problem. I have just found out

fact, it turns into that silly hour glass during capture. The best

Good luck. Let me know if you find another method.

To write postscript files, just select a postscript printer. (like

You can't read postscript files into w4w, but you can include
encapsulated postscript files (eps files). Adobe Illustrator uses
that file format.

        Yes, the screen saver from NDW2.0 is very nice and running
        satisfactory in my machine, it jumps in both DOS session
        and Windows(! of course). And also cuts in when you're inactivity
        in Keyboard and mouse while downloading at the same time.

I suppose you have read the network.wri file .... :) If i understand 
correcly only certain parts of Windows should be on net and i even think 
that win.com (and ofcource *.ini, *.grp) should be on the PC!

This is most likely caused by the printer driver having an incorrect paper 
size selected (printer LCD display says "Feed A5" or something like that) or
also the application you are using is incorrectly setup.
Another possiblity is that the printer has too small memory (check with a
test print) to support the current resolution. 
It would help if you told us what the printer displays says!
