I have the same problems. The way I overcome it is by saving the notepad file
and then doing an ascii upload. Works pretty good. Doesnt look right as it is
being transfered but comes out just fine.

Ian,
sound CDs are used a lot by musicians using sampling technology. There are
a lot of so called Sampling CDs available. Maybe some of the sounds may
serve your needs though they are desinged for use in music. You could have
a look in a special interest magazine on this. Maybe "keyboard" is an
appropriate issue at your place. I could imagine there are special CDs
with sound effects or vocal effects that might be exploitable.

Olaf Winkelhake

I've uploaded Spice32 for Windows NT & Windows 3.1.  I've included the

Win32s is Microsoft's DLL which allows WindowsNT binarys to run, unmodified,

Win32s is still in beta, so ypu'll want to get a fresh copy when it's
released.

You can get it at:

BNETX was not tested with WFW, but if you need the speed, you can try it.  
Standard disclaimers apply, however:  not supported, not tested, and may
cause unforeseen problems.  My recommendation would be to stick with the
NETX that came in the box.  I prefer security over speed.

I have to throw myself on the graces of the net too... I had no idea 
the Star NX-10 was going to be so short lived.... 
    ==========
Now it's about the ONLY printer I haven't seen a WIN3 driver for.
The NX-1000 driver works better than the SG-10 driver, but there's a part 
of some unrecognized initialization that results in a "1" being printed
in the corner of every page...

I played with every 9 pin driver from most major manufacturers to find one 
that's closer: no luck.  So fellow Nx-10 owners: there must be SOMEONE
who's patched the driver? Thanks for any pointers..

Actually, now that you've reminded me of what they are, the only problem
is the typical salesman technique of only stating the highlights of the
system.  In other words, "Yeah, this is a 66 Mz chip," isn't lying,
but it's not telling you the whole truth, either.  As long as you are
aware what a DX2 is, then it's not problem.  Consumer awareness goes
a long way in keeping yourself from being ripped off.

BTW- I doubt that a DX2-50 is faster than a DX-33.  Close, maybe, but not
faster.  OTOH, a DX2-66 would have the speed of a 33 on the board, while
the chip is running at 66.  Therefore, it would be faster than a DX-33.

   anonymous ftp is obviously preferred.

   Thanks in advance

Get DVIWindo from Y&Y.  It allows you to preview DVI files calling for
scalable fonts --- such as Adobe Type 1 and TrueType.  (In fact, DVIWindo is
the only application supporting TrueType fonts in TeX on the PC.)
Preview at any scale, not just a select few for which bitmap fonts exist.  

You can use Computer Modern fonts, or finally break away from Computer Modern. 
There are something like 15,000 fonts in Type 1 format, plus hundreds in
TrueType format, and other scalable font formats supported in Windows.

DVIWindo prints to anything with a Windows printer driver including some fax
boards.  Includes ATM. Shows previews in inserted EPSF figures. DVIWindo is
fast: turns a page in a second or two.

Allows copying to clipboard and pasting into other applications (typeset
hairy math in TeX, then paste the result into WYSIWYG application!).

Supports the TEN most popular figure insertion schemes. Has \specials
for colored text, colored rules, reverse video.  Support the TPIC \specials
for device independent graphics.  Has \specials for insertion of TIFF images.

Has string search capability.  Also provides hyper text linkage.
(Combine the colored text for high-lighting and hyper text linkage
for making a technical manual with glossary!)

Quality rendering on screen, unlike scaled bitmaps.  Good for 
electronic publishing, were document is actually read on screen
(and may never get printed).

Can color code fonts for debugging font selection macros.  Identify
a font by clicking on a character.  Create TeX metric files for any
scalable font in Windows, including TrueType fonts.

Two page spreads, `greeked' text for rapid checking of page layout.
And lots of other features not found in other DVI `previewers'.


Disclaimer: respondent has connections with Y&Y (obviously :-)


Y&Y are the `TeX without BitMaps' people (see ad in TUGboat):

	Y&Y makes DVIPSONE, DVIWindo, and fonts 
	- for use with TeX mostly -
	in fully hinted Adobe Type 1 format.

seem much smoother than the scaling I see on ATM on my Mac at home. Does anyone
have any info on how this is being done? I'd love to see the algorithm!

Using Stacker will take up about 40K of your memory. So unless you are using
QEMM to provide EMS, you might have little memory left for game which requires
EMS if you are using EMM386.EXE. I suggest you leave the game drive unstacked
so that you can still boot from floopy drive and access it. One good example
are Origin's games (like Wing Commander series, Ultima Underworld etc..)

Ummm.  When I first got my 386SX, with Windows 3.1, the dealer told me to try
a few of the Epson drivers.  I think it is the Epson LX-810 driver that I am
still happily using for my NX-10 printer.  I thought he said that just about
any Epson 800 series driver would work.

I would strongly recommend against getting any Microtek scanner.  I
have 600ZS.  The front end package it was bundled with doesn't work
very well (it's running on a sun) and the scanner itself was 
poorly color calibrated.  HP has much better support as well as
overall prices.

Summary: I want it all

What I want is a way to share files between my laptop and desktop
computers via a parallel port, transparently under Windows, that won't
conflict with network drivers I'm already using (LocalTalk to talk to
a LaserWriter and TCP-IP to talk to the world).  Is there any way I
can have everything I want?

LANtastic-Z seemed like the ideal solution, but then I found out it
conflicts with my other network drivers.  I'd be willing to give up
transparency if necessary.  If I have to leave Windows to use file
sharing I'll be quite annoyed.  A DOS program that works in a window
in 386 mode would be ugly but marginally acceptable.  Suggestions,
anyone?
