Look, people.  If you can't stand it then get off the list!  Got a problem
with someone?  Send it PRIVATELY!  Don't post it!

As far as this issue "political" issue goes, just drop it.  There's no

Use the procedure you describe and exit out of the help menu.  Go in again and
double click once more.  This time you will see a waving flag logo.  Exit again
and go back in a third time.  When you double click this time, the developers

Gary,

Would be more than happy too, HOWEVER, I'm getting ready to shut down and
pack-up the computer and get ready to go back to school tomorrow morning.

I no longer work for UNiSYS so I don't have access to a fast means of data
transfers--my co-op term just ended.  This leaves me with my PC connected to
a TCP/IP server, but I only have a 2400 baud modem. and file transfers at
2400 baud will take FOREVER!  I will not have access to a PC connected to
a VAX until next Monday.  In either case, I strongly reccomend you try the
route a previous poster had about checking a mirror site in your area.
This is far easier for you (and me).

Try the FTP method.  Any questions?  Just ask anyone on the list--that's
how I got started a few months ago.  Will check in tomorrow night to see
how it went.  Good luck!  :-)

There are several programs out there that will convert bmp to rle (and
vice versa). I used Paint Shop to convert the bmp I used for creating
my own win.com, and it worked perfectly. (Paint Shop is shareware and
I found it at ftp.cica.)

I understand that the 3.1 drivers are needed to support the DOS mouse in

neither feature would work with the 3.0 drivers.

The Windows environment is message based, not pre-emptive, for Windows
applications.  It requires applications to "be good citizens" and
relinquish control to the operating system so it can dispatch to others.
In Visual Basic, this is done with a call to a function called
"DoEvents." I don't know the equivalent for your programming
environment, but it should be very similar.

     Can someone tell me if the "CD-ROM interface" mentioned in the ads for
  the SoundBlaster Pro is a SCSI interface.  Or, even better, could you tell
  me which CD-ROM drives interface properly with the SB Pro?
     Thanks.

cdrom-l@uccvma.ucop.edu is a CD-ROM maillist which is a better place
for this type of question.  The SBPro is not SCSI, it is proprietary.
As far as I know, the only drive that works with it is a Sony that
they bundle with it.  The Pro Audio Spectrum boards have a true SCSI
interface on them.

Ed,
  Ran into a similar problem when trying to unzip files using pkz ver. 1.1,
when the files had been zipped using pkz ver. 1.93. Xtree probably uses the old
versin of pkzip, so try obtaining a version 1.93 pkzip & try the files again. I
bet the problem goes away.

Let me apologize if I've missed something that's been on the list.
Is there a comm.drv for Windows 3.0 or 3.1 that supports the
buffering present in the 16660 UART serial controller ship? This are
in many PS/2s and some clones and would permit a better handling of
a) communications at speeds of 9600 and above and b) running more
demanding protocols (like PPP) where the processing time can be long
enough that packets get dropped (because interrupts are turned off
too long).
So if anyone can tell me something about this I'd appreciate it.
Please send info directly to me and I'll summarize for the net.
Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by SmartDrive allocating memory??????

But, when you specify in a PIF to allocate EMS to a DOS app, Win 3.1
automatically emulates this to the DOS app on its own--it doesn't
require EMM386 or any other EMS manager.

In the PIF specify the DOS app needs AT LEAST 256K.  Set the limit
at whatever you desire.  As I remember, Brian Livingston reccomends
that when a DOS app requires EMS that you specify 256K as a minimum
in the associated PIF for it to work properly.

Try WINGIF from wuarchive. It does the job real nice. And some other things too.

Fuzzy Fox:  I'm aware of the methods used by Superstor & Stacker, they both
 Emulate a Hard Drive.  However even though 99.9% of all
programs will work flawlessly, there is still a problem.  Some programs that
 know there in the C: drive attempt to Write to an Absol
ute Sector (Which Stacker & SS are designed to catch) however some programs use
 a tricky algorythm to Write to an absolute sector,
and it writes to the actual C: drive instead of the Stacked C: drive absolute
 sector.
	The big problem is that the programs read the Stacked FAT and Directory tables,
 then assume the Hard-Drive is UNSTACKED, and Write
Directly to a USED CLUSTER, (often used by Superstor), that will cause a file to
 appear in the middle of the Superstor File  (all th
e Data in Superstor is in a Hidden File on uncompressed C:) The problem is a
 possible loss of Data, in some Cases the File Writes ov
er Stackers FAT Table which becomes unrecoverable.

	ok, Fuzzy Try again :),

I myself prefer to express 9 august as 1000/1001.  It's a binary thing.
Years, however, prove rather awkward....

8/9/1992 becomes 1000/1001/11111001000 . . .
