Corel Draw does a fine job of handling EPS files. I'm sure that most of
the other high end illustration packages do as well, but I've only had
experience with Corel Draw. It has a number of filters, as well; I've
had pretty fair luck using them to convert between file formats.

Reply-To: klein@sunrise.huji.ac.il ()

I am running a 386DX EISA machine under DOS 5.0.
I use QEMM6.01 and a Hercules graphics screen.
QEMM recognizes that Hercules doesn't use the addresses between a000:afff
and adds the memory to DOS (I start with CHKDSK giving me 702,000 bytes
of free memory for DOS). 

All worked fine with windows 3.0 but when I upgraded to windows 3.1
I couldn't run in enchanced mode (dropped me back to my DOS prompt)
until I told QEMM to exclude addresses between a000:afff. I miss my
extra 64K memory. Any advice regarding what to do ?

    Thanks,

The 3.1 drivers that come with the ATI are known to be buggy but ATI
kept them out there because of overwhelming demand for some kind of 
3.1 drivers. They exhibit the symptoms you describe with random hangs etc.
I switched back to the Sounblaster 1.0 drivers and have never had
any problems with them. If you are, perhaps your card is faulty or you
have an IRQ conflict somewhere. Try using the IRQ and port address in
Windows that is suggested when you run the ATI install program.

Hmmmm, it would seem that we are rather new to computers, or at least to
computer memory schemes. No problem, we all started from scratch at one
point.

EMM386 is the memory manager from MicroSoft, and SMARTDRV is the disk cache.
These to programs are *not* the same thing. EMM386 gives DOS the ability to
fiddle with memory above 1MB. If you don't have a memory manager, you can't
do anything with your higher memory. SMARTDRV is a diskcache; it attempts to
hold the most recently accessed data in RAM so your CPU doesn't have to call
to your hard disk for it. Hard disk access is *VERY* slow compared to RAM
access.
     So the answer is - you should have both because they are complimentary
and not mutually exclusive. With both of these in place, your games, and 
Windows, and most everything else will run better.

QEMM is an alternative to EMM386, and a clearly superior one. The only dig
is, it costs between $60.00 and $100.00 depending on where you look. You
may be able to find it cheaper, I haven't priced it lately. Another memory
manager that is comperable in capability and price to QEMM is 386MAX. I have
tried both, and on *my* system, I was better off with QEMM.

			I hope this helps,

					Scott

Catch-22.  Windows really, _really_ wants you to use your COM ports in
order. There are solutions, including purchasing the TurboComm drivers
for Windows, but it'll probably be easier in the long run to set up
COM2 correctly.

I have the same type of computer and was suffering from crashes every
hour. In the FAQ for windows I came upon the following command line for
starting windows. I'm not sure what it means but it made my computer
more stable while running windows. Now I only get a crash every 24 hours
or better.

                win /d:xsv

There are a few more hints in the FAQ. Well worth reading.

I this setup everything works fine until I try and use a swapfile.  With 
Win 3.0 I could use a temporary swapfile, but I could not set up a permanent

Windows locks up the machine on exit (time for the three-fingered salute), I
lose most of my program groups, and most of the files on my hard disk are

know of a fix for this problem?  Any help would be appreciated.

How did you end up with smartdrv in config.sys?  Except if you
need double buffering, it's supposed to be in your autoexec.bat.
(And BTW, it will load itself high if it can.)

I see the general protection failure just as you explained it on my
INTEL 386-25 with 4Mb. I don't see the DOS-application/enhanced mode
problem you described though. What frustrates me is that the GPFs can
occur when closing ANY application, yet I have a second machine which
IS an AMD 386-40 which is setup up with almost the same setup (both
hardware and software) and it doesn't experience any problems! It makes
me wonder if its a BIOS or PC chipset related.

I saw a note in here earlier about somebody solving some of their problems
by starting windows with "win /d:xsv". Can anyone tell me what it does?
I'd like to know before I attempt to use it. The last time I "just" tried a
quick fix, I found myself reinstalling windows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
