Hi all,
	I have ftp'd win100 form anonymous ftp site. I use this windows
	communication package most. But few things make me bit 
	uncomfortable to use it. I could not store phone numbers and
	auto dial (or auto redial). So I always use atdtxxxx to dial
	the VAX. Also I could not figure out how to hangup the modem
	after I log out. And how do I add an 'enter' or 'pause' to the 
	string when programming the function keys (^M does not work!)?

	Would somebody enlighten me about the win100? Thanks in
	advance.

Hello Windows Experts,

this has been discussed before, but I can't find the messages any more:

How can I get windows to display a custom logo on startup? There seems to
be a file "VGALOGO.RLE" in the SYSTEM subdirectory which contains the logo,
but how can I change that? I was told that RLE is a compressed bitmap format,
so how can I create it? I have quite a few graphics programs for Windows,
but none knows about the RLE format.

Any help appreciated,

Richard

Is there a way to speed up the mouse pointer in Windows 3.1?

In DOS I use the /A9 flag with my MSCMOUSE driver to set the
mouse speed to maximum. Windows seems to use its own or a
different mouse driver, because the mousepointer moves slower
than in DOS. When running DOS programs (eg. Quattro PRO 3.0) 
from Windows I get my accelerated mouse pointer back...

A very similar thing happened recently on a colleague's machine, and we
were at a complete loss to explain it.  The problem turned out to be
that EMM386 was eating about 5 Megs of swapfile space, for no apparent
reason.  Replacing EMM386 with QEMM solved the problem, but I'm still at
a complete loss as to why this would happen.

	I think you should wait for the 24-bit version,
to come out Real Soon Now. Maybe they'll sell the old
card $50 bucks cheaper or so.


	I have a Stealth. It's fast, and generally
I recommend it. There still are driver problems, though.
Some drivers don't do italics on TrueType fonts properly.
(Maybe I should get new drivers.) This can be quite annoying.
The HiColor mode gives me DOS session problems (since I don't
use it, I don't mind).


	I also have the Speedstar 24X, whose drivers have fewer
bugs (except for the same HiColor problem). It's a bit
slower in line-drawing (noticeable while word processing or yes,
drawing) but has a stunning 24-bit VGA mode. And it's cheaper, and
you can buy it now. Since I run it on a 386-25, its scrolling
admittedly could be faster, but on a 486 its slowness might
not be noticeable.
	
	Wait awhile, if you can. Not only are the 24-bit S3's
coming, but also the VESA local-bus ones.

I was also going to post the same problem(?) I have with Win 3.1.  I have
Statline installed and it reports resource available (GDI or User?).  Anyway,
as I go through my apps which include Excel, Word, WinRix, ProComm, and some
small utilities, the resource reported by Statline gradually decreases.
I have to restart Windows to get it all back again.  Anybody else expriencing
this?

I upgraded to Win 3.1 specifically to solve this problem with 3.0, and I'm
satisfied. I use WPWIN, Excel 3.0, QPro in a DOS window, communications
packages, ... all successfully, as far as releasing resources go. I was about
recommend the 3.1 upgrade to the first user... and still would.

Any chance the Windows setup parameters are out of step with the hardware?
For example, how much memory does the printer have, and does the Windows
setup dialog for the printer reflect that memory size?  (And is it the same
amount of memory you had when the printer was working?) 

Does the printer have font cartridges installed, and are they reflected in
the dialog?  Are soft fonts available *and known to the printer driver*?

(Note that you install PCL soft fonts to a specific printer.  Deleting the
printer from Windows does not erase the font files from your disk, but
merely reinstalling the printers from the Control Panel -> Printers
dialog does not re-intstall the fonts to the printer because the list
of fonts no longer exists.  This is exactly the opposite of the way
TrueType works; its font selection is global across all printers.)

Are you using TrueType or PCL fonts?  Remember that if you installed Word
for Windows V2 *before* you installed Windows 3.1 you've got PCL fonts for
the equation editor.  To get the TrueType fonts for Fences and MT Extra 
you need to re-install the Equation Editor.

(If you do re-install the equation editor, don't for get to fix the problem
with font nomenclature by using the Control Panel -> FONTS dialog to:

  - Delete all FENCES and MT EXTRA font files *without* deleting the
    files from disk, and
  - Add back in FENCES (TrueType) and MT Extra (TrueType) from the
    c:\windows\system directory.)

Windows is probably taking 30 seconds to deleted this 10M file! You've got
6 megs of real RAM, and you're only running 1 app at a time, 10M falls into
the realm of overkill.

>Has anyone seen this problem?  Any clue as to what causes it?
I have heard it said that PS/2s exhibiting this behaviour can benefit from
adding the line   InitPS2MouseAtExit=False   in the [386enh] section of
your SYSTEM.INI.

But do your bit for science, and let us know what happens if you just set
your swap file to none :-)

Dear Netters,
I have a problem (smells a little like FAQ) with the enlargement of
one of our 386 machines running windows 3.0 in standard mode
We upgraded the machine from 4 MEG to 8 MEG. Everything seems to be
ok. All programs I tried (DOS and windows programs) display the size
of memory as its ought to be. But when I tried to load as many programs
as posible to try to fill the 8 MEG the system tells me, even when
it says that there are about 4 MEG left, that it is running out
of memory.
What did't I do that I should? Any suggestions?

: as you have a little knowledge about UNIX and C).

Hm, I've ported 6.4.16 to Coherent 4.0 and send it to MWC. There should
really someone get it from there and ftp it to raven. I've made the
6.3.8 port, because at this time I couldn't find a newer release,
sorry about that.
If 6.4.16 isn't on MWCBBS I would email it to someone with ftp access,
who is willing to upload it onto raven. So please only let me know
where to mail it, I can't ftp :-(.
