This is easy to fix.  Select (single click) the icon in the Startup group.
Type Alt,F,P to get the "Properties" dialog box.  In the Command Line field
specify the name of the filename (e.g. todo.cal) instead of the executable.
Then Calendar will automatically come up with the specified file.

QVT/net works fine over a SLIP connection for me.  Yes, it is nicer
than 2.85 was -- but do not re-read your QVTHOST.RC file if you are 
using NDW as your shell.  You get a GPF instantly.

2. Is there a way to number (and cross refernce) equations

Distribution: world
Organization: Job hunters use Parachute
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1992 20:43:12 +0000

I've been investigating the usage of Mac Word 5.0 rtf files and W4W. The
rtf files are still the same (that is the CMM techinical reports from SEI).
In some of the files (TR25mlk?.rtf) there are a couple of recurring
sequences of rtf directives which W4W insists upon importing as text. :-(
These all begin \X and from the context would seem to be meant to be either
notes or footnotes.

Wouldn't it be great if a software publisher could produce a product that
could read files generate on platform X by the version of the product that
runs on platform Y. Imagine the howls of disgust that there would be if
some C compilers would only compile Fortran; whilst others compiled C
correctly.

WFW lets you merge cells row-wise, but not column-wise. The only way to
do what Fischer wants is to make enough rows for ALL of the cell
boundaries and then remove the visible borders to fake "merging" cells.
In Fischer's example,

    | Text |      |

    | Text |      |
    |      | Text |

 a 2 row by 4 column table, where ****** indicates a border made
invisible with the Format Border command.

It would be polite to TRY A SOLUTION ON YOUR OWN PC before offering it

You are correct.  Corel will only accept Adobe Illustrator EPS files.
You can also use Ghostscript, but it seems to only like Adobe
Illustrator EPS files too.

I would like to have the calendar app. from the accessories group open

     (2) the "monthly" view enabled, again as opposed to the default

I've checked the manual and it does not discuss either of these two points,

I can only help you with one of your problems.  In order to startup a
calander using a certain file copy the icon into the startup group.  Then
edit the properties of the icon by adding the name of the file in the
execution statement.

      e.g.    CALANDER.EXE WORK

        -where 'work' is the name of the file

I use this method myself and it works fine.  I haven't tried to have
the app start up in the month view though.  I hope this helps.

I would suspect that HyperChem has a hardware lock that comes with the
program.  (Hardware lock aka dongle).  You need the dongle in order to
run the program.  If you have the dongle installed on your parallel port,
then you might need a device driver in config.sys in order for HyperChem
to access it.

From what I read on Compuserve....

Would it be that you are using an A4 paper size setting in WinFAX by any
chance?

If so then try setting to the US letter size (8"x11" or 11"x8") and
people there seem to imply that the problem "goes away". The comments
seem to imply that its Delrina's problem, and that its being fixed in
WinFAX 3.0, though as that won't be released here 'till next week, its
difficult to confirm.

Hope this helps,

I don't program, but all my friends who do say none of the above.   
For ease of programming NeXTSTEP is the only way to go.  And best of  
all, the entire development environment (compilers, debuggers,  
interface builder, etc) is free with every NeXT.

I haven't used a mac in a long time (like system 6.0 on a Mac+),
so I don't know what has changed in 7.0 but...

Some commands (yes, in the dos/unix world) take arguments and
options -- those unknown -XXXYYYZZZs that sometimes do useful
stuff as well as wildcards.  As an example, if I had a folder
with a bazillion files, would the MAC let me see files matching
certain wildcards such as *.C?  I never really looked at the
"view by" section on the desktop carefully...but in any case,
I KNOW it's much faster (and more convenient) for me to type
ls *.C  (or even dir *.C) than to open the folder, (if the
option exists) choose the wildcard masking, then view...then
have to change it back to 'normal mode' to see all the files
again etc.

I personally would like the MAC a lot better if the OS would
let me TYPE somethings in instead of using the mouse all the
time, but I guess one of the biggest points of the MAC is that
you don't need a keyboard for the basic system functions.

oh well...just my $.02.
