Distribution: world

Hi All!

Has anyone been able to successfully transfer files
in the background while working in another window. I
cannot get procomm for windows to work!!! It works
fine until I alt-tab to another window, then I get
errors (CRC, UART Overflow, etc.). When I change back
into the window where I am doing the transfer (procomm
for windows), the transfer continues fine. I am also
having this problem with UUCICO (unix file transfers),
and Telix (DOS comm software). It does not happen
every time. Sometimes (20% of the time) the transfer
works ok. After spending a week talking to Microsoft
with 2 dozen unseccessful attempts, I am told that
I may not get it to work at all. I am told (by one
Microsoft technician) that he does the transfer with Telix
and Procomm all the time with no trouble. I have tried
everything! Even a brand new windows installation with a new
copy of windows 3.1!!!

Any help would really be appreciated as I totally stuck
with no more ideas from Microsoft.

Dave

I am running Windows in 1024x768. To the right of the drop-down Script
File menu I have eight buttons: (from left to right) Set-up, scroll,
clip, send file, receive file, capture, print log, hang-up, clear
screen, record, playback, and aspect files. At this screen resolution
there remains space for about four or five more buttons. The
button-icons I refer to in my original posting are not present on the
eight-button tool bar. Some photos I have seen in the manual and
advertising for Procomm have shown buttons on the tool bar which are
not currently on my tool bar.

I should have put this information in the original posting. Anyway, my
question still stands.

Thanks and regards,

Danny

We use 17" screens all at 1024x768 with 256 colors.  Has anyone

I have used versions 2.6 and 2.7 and the fonts are the same.

I might suggest "Works" for Windows at @ $120. It has a  reasonable database

The person from McDonnell-Douglas asks, "what's a gradebook?"  Funny, I was

Only kidding.

A gradebook is a log kept by a teacher of student attendance and progress. 
While many instructors are still using a paper and pencil-type log, some
have moved to electronic gradebooks.  

The principal advantage of the electronic versions (at least for me) is that
numbers are aggregated automatically, saving me a lot of time and reducing
my error rate.

Undo the hidden, system and read-only attributes of the stacker file,
STACVOL.000 or whatever it is. Then run Norton. After that change the
attributes back. Try not to run stacker when you do this.

Does anybody know of a way of writing a WordPerfect for Windows

program (Reference Manager) which creates a large bibliography at
the end of a document. Each entry begins either with a number or
the name of an author (depending on which journal the manuscipt
is being submitted to). What I would like to do is indent every
2nd and subsequent line of each biblioghrapy entry a certain
number of spaces. The problem is that each reference does not
contain the same number of lines so I cannot simply record a
macro that will indent every x number of lines. Any help would be
greatly appreciated since I waste a good deal of my time
formatting bibliographies. Please E-mail replies. I will post a
summary of responses in a few weeks.

What UART chip are you using?  If it's a 8250 or 16450, you may be
able to fix your problem by replacing it with a 16550 chip.  To be
charitable, Windows' performance under the standard communications
drivers is... lacking.  This is not an uncommon problem.

I suspect that what is happening is that whatever you're doing in the
foreground is eating up enough time that PW can't respond to the
interrupts and empty the character buffer fast enough.

Not sure what you mean here. Certainly with Win3.1 you can share COM ports
albeit not both using at the same time if you use the same IRQ. I
have COM1 (unused), COM2 in the same card but no UART and my Boca fax/modem
on COM3. Winfax Pro finds it okay and it works using the standard IRQ
assignments. I seem to recall with Win 3.0 you could not share IRQ's
unless (and then maybe not) you did some fiddling with the combase (sp)
setting in system.ini. In Win3.1 the Port dialogue allows you to set the
IRQ and combase to what you want.

PC Tools 7.1 comes with two versions of some of their programs, specifically
the backup program and the undelete program, one version for Windows and one
for DOS.  I had trouble with the Windows version of the backup program, but
the DOS version works fine.

Some people report no problems with the Windows version of the backup program.
I suspect my problems were, as most things are in the PC-world, configuration-
dependent.  Therefore the Windows backup program may work just fine for you.

HOWEVER!!!!! In my case, the backup program APPEARED to be working for me.
It would make backups with no problem.  But, when I needed to restore something
it couldn't find the file.  So, I strongly recommend that, if you try using
the backup program, don't just try backing up your disk, try restoring some
files, too.  If that works for you, wonderful.  Just don't get a false sense
of security just because the backup program appears to be working.

Hope this helps!
