Subject:      Re: A&L, CorelDraw!

I'd try using PhotoPaint which comes with Corel 3.0 rather than trying
to use Draw! itself.  Remember that Draw! is essentially vector-based
drawing and IMHO it's not fair to expect that it will deal nicely with
paint format output (although it would be nice).  I used PhotoPaint
two weeks ago to do some very heavy  .PCX editing with quite good
results.  The results were neat, the client was happy.  All was well.

=================================================================

I don't know about MSDraw, but Pagemaker does allow scrolling of fonts,
but you have to work at it somewhat.

Under Type, go to Type Specs (or press control+T); there you can scroll
through all your fonts.

Good Luck and Happy Fonting.

I think by now the whiners complaining about secret screens, easter eggs,
etc, have wasted FAR MORE time bellyaching about said than the actual
time loss the code bits themselves incur.  Not to mention disk space lost
to inane complaints verses that lost to the screens I personally find
rather nice.

SHUT UP ABOUT IT ALREADY.

Hello Netland,

This inquiry is being cross-posted. I apoligize to anyone who receives it
more than once.

Here is the environment:

I have a academic lab of DOS machines. The user interface is MS-WINDOWS 3.1
loaded from Novell 3.11. Unfortunately, due to some old 8-bit cards the
machines can only run in standard mode. This is due to be changed in the near
future and may solve my problem. The DOS machines are 386SX with DOS 5.0.

This lab is also connected to our campus network which includes a DEC VAX
6310 and an HP 9000/370. I recently installed MS-KERMIT 3.11 and the
Clarkson packet driver to allow telnet connections to the VAX and HP.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
-------------------

Most of the time things work well, however every once in a while the DOS
Machines lockup tighter than a drum with the following message when attempting
to make the telnet connect to the VAX or HP:

        "Resolving host name"

I understand TCP/IP so I understand the significance of the message, however
the machine locks up so tight the only way to fix it is to reboot. After
rebooting, you almost always can get connected via telnet right away!!

The fact that the machine locks up so tight indicates a PC software issue, I
have been thru millions of DOS and Windows lockups where rebooting the
machine is the only fix, this is just like that.

I am certain getting Windows 3.1 in enhanced mode will help significantly.

Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions???

Please e-mail me directly, I do not subscribe to these lists.

                                        Thanks in Advance,

                                        Steve

I find it interesting that you take this stand.  Were I to come to your house
and swipe several K of your disk you would be outraged.  What is the
difference between that and doing it with a program.  The same can be said of
people who find great delight in planting viruses, Trojan horses etc in
programs to destroy your data and mine.  I find your logic flawed and
inconsistent.

As for Mr Gates,  he has lost control over his own company if he allows such
activity to occur.  If he has allowed this to occur, I will switch to OS2 V***
despite my revulsion at I**.  Any way, I prefer DR DOS 6.0 to Messy Dos ????.

Lastly, you seem to take this discourse as a personal attack on your freedom
of expression.  I must remind you that your freedom only extends to the point
it intrudes on my freedom or some else's freedom.  This is becoming a
constitutional issue now.

Subject:      TPW 1.0 and Win3.1

Dear netlanders,

after upgrading a 486 here at our lab from Win3.0 to Win3.1 I found that I
could not use the TDW-debugger anymore, which comes with Turbo-Pascal for
Windows 1.0 and which used to work under Win3.0. It claims that it cannot
find the WINDEBUG.DLL, but this DLL is definitely where it should be and where
TDW running under Win3.0 was able to find it. Is there a fix available, and
where can I get it?

BTW, this debugger problem seems to be somewhat related to Win3.1, because the
old CodeView for Windows 3.05 doesn't run anymore after the upgrade as well.
How can I move around this without having to buy the C/C++ 7.0 and SDK 3.1?

Regards and thanks,

I run a permanent swapfile on a 148MB single-partition disk, and I'm sure you'll
hear from lots of folks on the list working fine with MUCH larger partitions.

Whatever the problem is, it's not a limitation on large partitions.

David,

    I would suggest to you that you just delete the files with an extension of
TMP .   That will clear out most of the files in the TEMP directory.

    Hope that this helps, Mike

Hello all,

   I am just programing under windows using BC++ 3.0 , it is quite hard since
there is not doc about the windows API. As they say, it is on line with the
help. But it is slower than having a good book and hard to find the right
API. Is there some enhancement with BC++3.1, or is it time now to migrate
to MSC 7.0?.
Is there a specific programing list on BITNET?

Thanks in advance

In Excel 4.0 if you have selected cells and released your mouse and you want

I assume you are not running DOS in the HMA, which conflicts with the
extended memory version of the network shell.  What happens when you
change the CONFIG.SYS DOS parm to DOS=HIGH,UMB and run NETX instead?
If you have the room you can LOADHIGH IPX and NETX.

Dominique,

Sorry I cannot help you with your first question. With regards to the
second: when my printer asks for 'continue', usually the paper size my document
specifies is a size the printer doesn't know, for example the printer gets the
message "print on Letter" while all the printer has to offer is A4.
Could this be the case with your printer setup as well?
