Agreed. I had a problem with the Wingdings font now showing and called
them about it. They shipped me the interim release FOC. Trouble is I
now have a different problem. Whenever I startup WP it pops up a little
box saying Updating Printer Information. Even on my 386/40 4M this takes
some 40 seconds (I have a lot of TT fonts) and it is very annoying.
I have removed ATM and TT and it still pops up, but now only for a short
time. 30 minutes with WP TEch support was unavailing and now I have to
send in a bug report (autoexec.bat. config.sys win.ini etc.). I am
debating whether or not to go back to the original release and lose
the drag and drop, zoom etc. or just put up with the irksome behaviour.

Hello, all,

I'm having occasional trouble with WinQVT 4.73, which I'd like
to be able to fix if I'm gonna register this thing...

Every now and then I get a dialog box saying "Transmission
suspended" and that's about all she wrote.  Pressing OKAY,
and then trying to continue won't work.  I have to kill the
session to recover, and of course I lose my communications
link at the same time.

Anyone know what's happening here?  Any info'd be appreciated!

Thanks!

I just finished setting up QvtNet26 on my PC.

I'm using it and a 3Com board to access the machines on my campus
backbone.

The only real problem I've got right now is that I keep getting an
error message in the small window about ICMP error , wrong gateway,
redirecting packet, etc.

That happens every time I issue a command on the machine I sign on to.
When using FTP to my machine I get 'zillions' of those messages, I
guess one for every packet.

I've set the gateway=1 for an IP address I was supplied by one of the
'experts' on campus although he didn't supply me with a name or host
to go with it.

Is that necessary, is there some known bug with setting gateways, or
did he just give me the wrong gateway address?


Any answers or hints would be appreciated.

Try save the file as "E-mail".  This is the best ASCII approximation Ami Pro
can give that I know of.  The only problem is that in this mode, no outline style
information is preseved, i.e., you lose chapter or section numbers by doing so.
However, if you are not using outline styles to orginize your text, "E-mail"
should be adequate.

Another possible solution is to print out the document to a file using generic
printer driver.  This method preserve all formating information, including 
outline heading numbers.  However, if you have any bold or underline text, they
will appear as a combination of duplicated charaters and backspaces.

I do not think Ami Pro 3.0 addressed this problem yet.  That is the reason I 
have not upgraded and is looking for something better.

Not true! (for me at least!) I am able to anonymously ftp to my machine
(running QVT v2.7) and transfer files in and out from an unknown computer - 
one which my .rc knows nothing about. Maybe it's because I live right. :)

I've never tried wintools, but I know NewWave does let you

Does wintools have the agent language capability? i think hp

Keywords: WPWin WinFax

For those of you who have received the 4/92 WPWin interim release, you
may have noticed if you have a fax driver, that whenever WPWin starts up
and your fax driver is the current printer, or you go to select that
driver, WPWin initiates an Updating Printer Information sequence. This
is really annoying and can take a long time if you have a lot of TT fonts.
On my 386/40 with 8M fast IDE drives it takes over 2 minutes!
Calls to WP and Delrina finally resolved the problem. It is a bug (what
else in WPWin) which is on the list of things to be fixed. In the interim
the workaround is to make the winfax.wrs file read only. WPWin will 
complain and pop up a dialogue box but you click ok and continue.

BTW some of the features of the intermin release are quite nice like drag
and drop (a la Word) and the Zoom feature.

As far as I know you cannot access True-Type fonts unless you select the
Windows printer driver.  Also, make sure there is at least a couple of megs of
space available at the location of your TEMP environment variable or else the
True-Type fonts print jobs will be extraordinarily slow.  They are already
slower than print jobs under the WP driver.

I get around this problem by typing it in other ascii editor and paste
it into amipro for spelling check or whatever, then paste it back. Too bad
many of us ended going back to LaTeX for various reasons after we spend
all that money and expect a WYSIWYG can match half of the power of TeX.

I find that the reference tools are painfully inadequate for any
scientific paper unless you want to maintain all the bibliography
database by yourself. Has anyone find anyway to go around it or any
add-in product?

I don't think Lotus has addressed the equation editor problems in the
new version, such as only one font or one line is allowed (Uuuuh!). As
far as I can see there is no functionality added except some niches
and a update for win3.1. (TTfont, OEL). How could they call it v3.0
anyway?

I can't speak for PC-NFS, but most control panel functions
can be accessed on the command line of the control.exe program.
If you have windows 3.1, it's really easy.

1. Drag the control panel into the "StartUp" group. This will
run the control panel application each time windows is started.

2. Look at the properties of the Icon. try adding "printers" 
to the end of the command line. (I have no idea what the PC-NFS
command line would be, but you can probably work that one out).
 (ie.: "CONTROL.EXE PRINTERS" on the command line) 

3. You may want to check the "Run Minimized" box, so that you
get only the login screen, and not the whole control panel.

The whole effect will work like this: Windows starts, and a
control panel Icon will appear in the lower left corner of the
screen. The printers dialog will appear on your screen. do what
you want then choose Cancel or Close. The dialog will close, and
the control panel will close with it.

easy enough?? =)

Even better, if you use "control.exe whatever.cpl applet-title"
you will just get the NFS dialog and the Control Panel will never

Unfortunately, this is as far as you can get; the login screen can be

Under Windoze, the old printer-drivers-for-every-printer-built-into-every-
package philiosophy is gone. This is Windoze's problem. Sooooo.. what you 
need to do is install a postscript printer in windows. 

Then from AmiPro, simply choose "setup printer" to the postscript one, and 
coose "options - print to file" - (you can do that ouside Ami Pro too).
