Looks like I'm almost done.  I've downloaded the latest version (3.51) of the
PostScript printer driver, along with the latest Unidriver, from Microsoft.
It's on 130.109.115.184 (anonymous/your-id) in /pub/win3.

Just as a reminder, all of these files are downloaded directly from the Micro-
soft Download Service (1(206)637-9009).  I have double checked with the SYSOP,
who has no problems with redistribution like this.  He reminded me (as I remind
you) that no warranty, expressed or implied, exists, blah blah blah blah blah.
You know the words (if not, just look at your license agreement ;-).

Subject:      WIN 3.1 & TRUE TYPE FONTS (Revised)

According to the Windows Resource Kit 3.1 page 146, the
TrueType downloadable fonts shipped with Windows 3.1
support the Arial, Courier, Symbol and Times New Roman
font families.  Each family requires two files, a .TTF
and an .FOT file.

FONT NAMES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Arial, Arial Bold, Arial Bold Italic, Arial Italic
Courier, Courier Bold, Courier Bold Italic, Courier Italic
Times New Roman, Times New Roman Bold, Times New Roman Bold Italic, Times New Ro
   man Italic
Symbol
Wingding

In an earlier posting I stated, the "Complete Package" from
CompuAdd does NOT include True Type Fonts!

What I should have said is that the "Complete Package" from
CompuAdd does NOT include the True Type Fonts which were
available from Microsoft in their upgrade offering for
registered users of Windows 3.0.  Apparently the True Type
Font offering from Microsoft is in addition to the fonts
included in Windows 3.1 mentioned above.

I haven't installed 3.1 yet, so I'm not sure if you receive
additional fonts with the Microsoft upgrade offer or not.

I don't know if this has any bearing on anything or not, but I just
installed a Microsoft BallPoint Mouse on a Dell NX-20 laptop PC.
The mouse jumped all over the place in Windows, although it was
fairly smooth in the DOSSHELL.  It was especially sensitive when
moving it to the left of the screen in Windows.  It would LEAP
over to the left border if you even touched the mouse.

After scratching my head for a bit I noticed a slip of paper that
Dell had included with the mouse (yes, I always read the documentation
as a last resort <g>).  It said that to make the BallPoint work properly
on this machine that you had to add a line to the MOUSE.INI file
that said PhoenixBios=True.  It also said that when running the BallPoint
Mouse SETUP program to select "Install for DOS only" instead of
"Install for DOS and Windows".

At any rate, I did the above and the BallPoint now moves as smooth
as can be in Windows.

I have an IBM PS/2 model 30-286 running at 10mhz with 1 meg of RAM and am in
the process of upgrading to 2 or 4meg of RAM.  I am told I will need a memory
manager to use with extra RAM.  So, if anyone out there knows of any good ones

Do you have a Gateway machine with external processor cache?  They have
produced some machines with a design error and now have a correction
that requires replacement of the motherboard.  Sorry, but I didn't
remember your equipment particulars.  I'm assuming you're not talking
about the 8K cache built into the 486 processor.  Thought you'd be
interested in this in case it applied to you.

Hi netters,

   As far as I am concerned, I have had no problem with Stacker 2.0 during the
set up of Windows 3.1. I must say that this setup program is quite intelligent
in the way it operated. It recognised I had a Stacker volume and offered me to
put my permanent Swapfile in the non-Stacker part of my hard disk !

   I must say I was impressed with this, as I am with Windows 3.1 which is a
great speed improvement for everyday work.

   For your problem, perhaps have you some kind of incompatibility with your
BIOS/DOS/TSR/hardware (check one or more)... So bad.

   I hope that nobody will be frightened to use Stacker as it's a superb product
   well worth it's price !

   See you soon in Netland,

For those of us suffering bleeding edge technology, has anyone
successfully used DOS 5.0's UMM.SYS on an 80286 PC to get at some
of the upper memory blocks? If so, please share your "secret" by
listing the contents of your CONFIG.SYS.

The DOS 5.0 manual seems to indicate that UMM.SYS manages the use
of upper memory on some computers that have an 80286 or higher
processor. The actual instructions are, however, not effective.

Does anybody know where can I find .WAV files?  Or is there any program
which converts .SND, .SOU files to .WAV?

Subject:      Windows 3.1 upgrade price

I just got my Windows 3.1 upgrade notice today.  Z-NIX Co., Inc. is
now offering Windows 3.1 as an upgrade for only $29.95!!

Just thought you might be interested in how low the price can get so quickly.

Is this like the pot calling the kettle black?  Since you heard the end
of the message you must have tuned out the middle.  The offeree(?) identified
himself as Penn Jillette (or it was a real good impressionist).  He writes
a column for the magazine.  It was the april fool issue.  His column was
much better than the 800 number ad.  If you don't know who he is then
maybe I won't tell you that he is half of the Penn & Teller comedy/magic
team....  Doesn't anyone have a sense of humor any more?  Didn't your
daddy tell you that if something sounds to good to be true ($20K for $1K)
then it probably isn't?

Subject:      Winword 2.0a

In response to comment that the Winword 2.0a bug fixes are in esoteric
areas:

I ran in to one of the bugs the first day I used Winword 2.0.  If
you are using headers and footers and run the spelling checker in
version 2.0, you will get an Unrecoverable Application Error when
Winword moves from the header to the footer and encounters a
possible spelling error. The fix, of course, is to exit the
spell checker when it first stops in the footer, rather than
trying to change the word or ignore it.

It took about a month for me to get version 2.0a from MS, due to
physically defective disk cases in the first shipment, and about a
two week delay following my second call before they shipped the
copy I have now. (Now of course, my installation has been delayed
by the arrival and installation of Windows 3.1, which is wonderful.
Goodbye ATM.)

When calling for the upgrade, be sure to call the toll-free
sales and service number, which is (800)426-9400.
You don't want to pay to hold the line on the product support number.
You don't want support, you want to report a defective product and
exchange it.
