I think I was in the aftermath of a serious blow-up when I wrote that.
Thank you very much for correcting me.  I had proprietary simms on the

I am having a problem with the Equation editor in W4W 2.0. When I try to
start it, I get a message telling me that the Fence font isn't 
available on my printer (Pretty standard dot-matrix), and that I either
should choose another printer (not any good to me), or reinstall the
editor.

Well, I've tried both, and neither worked. I _DO_ have both the
Fence and Fence Plain true-type fonts installed, but no application seems
to recognize them (i.e. they don't know that they exist)

Could somebody please help, as this is quit important to me...

Please mail any replies.
Thanks, David.

(Yes, I've read the manuals, but I couldn't find anything about it!)

There is nothing I have ever heard about the IBM x86SLC chips being

Subject:      Problems instaling WW2

From: Patricia M. Schneider

I've been tring to install Word for Windows 2.0 on my laptop and am
consistantly getting the message that I have insufficient memory to
run the application and that I should close out other Windows applications
that are running before proceeding!  I have NO other applications running
at the time I try to run the setup.

My laptop has 4MB RAM and a 40 MB hard drive of which I have over 10 MB
free.  I ran Norton's speed disk to cleanup the hard drive thinking that
might be part of the problem.  I also reset my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
parameters to the bar bones, and still no success! I've installed this
application on dozens of PCs that only have 4 MB of RAM and haven't had
this problem before.

Any suggestions?

Thanks....

	There are to FAQ at CICA. You can reach them by FTP. Look...

	FTP ftp.cica.indiana.edu (connect as login anonymous and pass any)
	Change to the directory: cd /pub/pc/win3/misc
	Don't forget to set your transmission as binary
	Get the file: get winfaq1.zip
	Get the other file: get winfreq.ask
	Say good bye to FTP: exit

	The first one is in *.HLP format. The second, I don't know what
kind of format is a *.ask (maybe editable with any word proc.)

	Good Luck......

Subject:      How to access E000:0 in Windows 3.0 ?

Hi !

Sorry to post this into this group...If you know a better one please
suggetst.

The problem is :

	I am not able to access a dual port area in the range
D000:0 and E000:FFFF on the IBM PC AT compatible  under WINDOWS.

I am using :

	80386 PC AT ,
	Windows 3.0 in Standard/Enhanced mode,
	Borland C++ 2.0 tools.

I understand :

MS-Windows "Guide to Programming" , "More Memory Management" (page 16-11),
says, to access these memory area for memry mapped I/O, Global Selectors
are provided with name,

	__A000H, __B000H, etc.
and can be used in assembly programming as in

	mov ax, __D000H
	mov es,ax

But, I want to use the same area in my C++ programme to access the
dualport memory which is used for LAN buffers. Hence I used these
selectors to get the handle using GlobalHandle().
but,
	GlobalHandle returns NULL !?

My problem :

	How do I access this area of memory in Standard/Enhanced mode ?

I have been able to access the same area in real mode using pointers in
seg:offset format. There is no hardware related problem with it.


Please reply to e-mail address given below. I am not a member of this group.

Thanks in advance.

Date: 6 Oct 92 09:27:29 GMT
Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

I am pleased with it, but it is, in my opinion, more of a very nice home
printer than a viable office one. The colour is pretty good. When
printing colour, black is done by printing all three primary colours
on top of each other. The result is a somewhat greenish black (it is
also presumably wasteful of ink). I have not tried GIF files, my
use is basically confined to CorelDraw.

At work I have had the use of a Canon BJC 800 (bubble jet) which is
definitely better (but about 3 times the cost), and a high end
Tektronix.

In terms of value for money I would recommend the HP, but it is slow.
About 5 minutes for reasonable simple colour pages, up to 25 or 30
for a complicated one. Mind you none of the colour printers I
have used are quick. For black only text it manages about 3 pages per
minute.

One drawback, although the HP uses normal paper, for transparencies
you need special stuff that absorbs ink.

I have the same problem.  You need updated drivers from the manufacturer
and until then, you will have to put your monitor into a lower
resolution to run paintbrush.  It isn't windows.  It is just that the
driver needs updating.

I used 386MAX 6.02 abd Windows 3.1 for some time with no problems. (I did not
use the cache provided with 386MAX once Win 3.1 came out.) I no longer use it,
not because of any problems, but because I no longer need it.

also check the win.ini file and see if it is doing something strange.
Check the autoexec.bat and see what the system is supposed to be doing when
it leaves windows.

If it is only one user, then check his network startup file, he may have
some strange things going on in his user-id config file.

There aren't any good TECHNICAL reasons for it, but that may be the only way
the network folk can get a handle on the logistics involved in maintaining so
many workstations; if they're smart they've automated most of the installation
process anyway, at a minimum using batch files and installation diskettes; that
doesn't make for much flexibility.

When we got 3Com 3+Open here (a LanMan derivative), our network s/w was in
c:\3open\doswksta\lanman\drivers\
c:\3open\doswksta\lanman\netprog\
etc.

What a laugh. I ended up moving all the stuff to c:\3com and irritating the LAN
people.

Some emulation packages do not send the exact sequence to identify themselves as
 vt320 etc. try checking your environment on the vax to see if the terminal type
 is being set right
also check with procomm whether you have whether the delete key send BS or DEL,
 because the vax if I remember correctly requires DEL

Hi Louis,

        Don't panic. Try this, it always works for me.
        Boot your hardisk as normal, (I guess your HD still bootable)
        un-load erase-protect (it's called EP in NU6.0x but SMARTCAN
        in NDW or NDD).

        If you're really running Erase-protect, go into a hidden
        directory called TRASHCAN, delete everything there as much
        as you can. And run chkdsk and scheck/f/d afterwards.
        (The hidden directory is called SMARTCAN, if you're using
        NDW).

        If fail, try this now. Boot your hardisk without STACKER
        loaded, be prepared a floppy that needed in emergency case.
        Un-load EP, run chkdsk/f or diskfix or ndd.exe and delete
        everything in the  TRASHCAN (SMARTCAN). Everything should
        be alright by now. Boot your hardisk as normal config. and
        tell us the result...

I have found the sounds from SPEAK.EXE to be acceptable on a 486/50, but
on any slower PC they were not.  This result is in agreement somewhat
with the PC speaker sound quality.  The PC can't play decent sound and do
anything else at the same time.  This driver is only a hack, so to speak.
If you really want quality sound and sensible usability you still have to
purchase a sound card.  But if you don't have the cash or the inclination
this driver is better than nothing (at least if you're using a fast
machine :) ).
