Subject:      Procomm and Windows

Thanks to all of you who helped me out with my problems with Windows. I just
have two questions. Does anyone know how to get Procomm for Windows to simulate
the Gold Keys on a VAX. I do a lot of programming on the Vax it is very tedious
editing without those keys. Also does anyone know how many ATM fonts Windows or
programs such as Pagemaker can utilize. Pagemaker only show a fraction of the
fonts I have available. Thanks in advance!

We have tried Ventura ver 4.01 (I think) and the net result seems to
be little different at the printing end from ver 3. There is no
question that the GEM version is much faster.

Subject:      Query: WindowCraft

Has anyone heard of "WindowCraft"?  A friend gave me some
literature they'd sent him.  It claims to be a near-exact
HyperCard clone, for Windows (able to run HyperCard 1.x and
2.x stacks with negligible modification).
  It also claims to be able to generate stand-alone Windows
.EXE files. This would be great -- not having to bother with
licensing and shipping a run-time engine, never mind getting
end users to install it properly.
  Some questions:
  1) Can anyone refer me to reviews?
  2) Any first hand experiences?
  3) How large, relative to original non-stand-alone stacks,
     are the stand-alone stacks it produces?
  4) What are the memory and speed requirements for
     a) development
     b) running stand-alone stacks
  5) How stable, reliable, bug-free (whatever) are
     a) the development environment
     b) stand-alone stacks it produces
  6) Any info on the company or the developers? Will they
     be around in the future (I'm thinking of upgrades and
     support)?
  7) Can it open/translate stacks created with Spinnaker's
     "PLUS" Hypercard clone? (This would be GREAT!)
Please email direct to me; I'll summarize for the list.
Thanks in advance!

Everything else being equal, it would take longer to paint 786,432
pixels (1024x768) than 307,200 (640x480).
 There is a utility somewhere on cica that aligns your icons on the
desktop on byte boundaries, thus speeding up the desktop re-paint.

        I don't beleive your drive is acting more slowly - I beleive the
problem is with sysinfo (or DOS performance evaluators in general) when it
runs under windows.  If you run the cpu benchmark, you will notice that it
jumps all over the place - at times far above the actual rating of your
machine.

        This is the right way to do it, but it can be tricky to find the room
for mouse.com. Like many other programs, it takes more space being loaded than
once it's in place. Try moving the LH command to early in your autoexec.bat,
before you load other programs.

From:   George G Galdiano

Howdy,

I use Win3.1 and W4W. I am happy with both. However, I use many graphic files
which take a great deal of space and I am down to around 10 megs of space on a
120MB HD. I use the graphic files often, so loading them and uloading them is
not a good option for me.

I have heard there a compability problems with Windows and the major
compression programs such as Stacker and SuperStor. Is this true? What
compression program would you recommend? Do all compression programs erase
your drive when you remove it (as DRDOS does)?

Thanks....
*---------------------------*

No, not really. The major problem is that peopl tend to put their SMARTDRV
or whatever CACHE they use on the STACKED or COMPRESSED drive which is a NO
NO!! Anyway, I USED SuperStor for a while. I got tired of the crossed links.
I have a 120MEG drive and it was nice when It doubled, but you could tell a
considerable slow down, as well as the constant crossed links.

  I think the "TEMP" statements you guys are looking for are these...

                               SET TEMP=D:\
                               SET TMP=D:\

  I have both of these in my autoexec.bat and all my Windows and DOS
programs that use a temp file (.TMP) put their files on drive "D", which
is my RAM drive.
  The first line will take care of any program looking for a "\TEMP"
directory, and the second will take care of any files created with a
".TMP" extension.

Chris,

Try the drivers at Cica (ftp.cica.indiana.edu) and look for a files called
ET4TURBO in the pub/pc/win3/drivers/video directory.  I believe many
people have had success with these drivers for the Tseng ET4000 cards with

Dialog box with menu - a bug?

    I created dialog box with menu using MENU statement in DIALOG 
resource in Windows 3.1. But menu bar looked very unattractive: there 
was a strip ~2 pixel height filled with a garbage below menu bar.

    I used font "Helv,8", but nothing came when I had removed FONT 
statement and used standard font.

    When I had removed DS_MODALFRAME style bit from dialog box 
description it became look OK; but naturally it has thin frame, not 
standard modal dialog box one as I desired.

    It looks like Windows erroneously calculates menu bar height when
a window has DS_MODALFRAME style.

    The same problem arises with scroll bar(s) in dialog box.

    Is it a bug? Or I must not use this style with menu (I never read 
about this)? Must I do something more to make menu have good 
appearance? (But I would not like to use owner-drawn menu).

Lelio Fulgenzi,
        It should not hinder you unless like they say you are running
a lot of background programs that are constantly dealing with data.
The swap file will just sit there until the operating system needs it.
There has been some good advise so far as to monitor your system performance
during peak usage so that you can optimize to your needs.  Every one
is different and depending on what you do you want want to re-configure
your system when doing different tasks.

Again the best swap file size for most systems is 2x the RAM and the
minimum being 1x.  Also depending on what kind of cache or memory managers
you are using will also tell you how much swap space you will want.
There is no easy answer for what you want.  Just watch your performance
and twik it accordingly.

Bye,
Kris (my own opinion) Beatty

NO, NO! This person has Procomm for *Windows* (my assumption, anyway),
there is no .Pif. If you want PPW to open in a full screen window,
just maximize it by clicking the 'up' arrow in the upper-right
corner, then double-click the control menu box (the square in the
extreme upper-left corner) to exit the app.  The next time you enter
PPW, it will be maximized.

I hope this answered your question.  If you were talking about
running 'Procomm Plus for DOS' in a window, please ignore.

While you *could* have a virus, I would first verify that you are NOT using a
temporary swap file.

As I understand it, the use of temporary swap file means that Windows does a
scan of your ENTIRE hard drive, checking to see how much free space there is,
and then it takes some portion of the total free space for use as a temp.
swap file. Thus, you would see the disk light ON for several seconds while
Windows does its checking (over and above the actual loading of Windows
itself, of course).

I ran into this problem when running Windows over the LAN, with server disks
being used to keep users' swapfiles (temporary). Did that ever eat up network
utilization (and startup time)!!!

        Did you try win?  If even this did not work, your windows
directory is probably not in your path statement.  Try the following:

C:\> cd windows
C:\WINDOWS> win

if this works, write back to me or the list and we will help you set up
windows so that it can be run automatically, or at least more easily
