Logitech puts its most recent drivers on its BBS: you can call 1-510-795-0408.
You can download them from there.  I got a lot of line noise this weekend
but once I managed to stay connected, I did manage to stay connected.

How big it needs to be depends on how much physical memory you have.
I run one of my machines without a swap file at all, which is the best
choice if you have enough real memory to not need one.  If you do need
one, use the Permanent one.  It will always be faster than the
Temporary.

The extension shouldn't matter.  What have you tried to do to delete
it?  First you need to make it 'not hidden'.  DOS 5 can do this --
otherwise you may have to resort to something like Norton Utilities.

Here is a shot in the dark.  At the lab where I work at we have some rather 
off brand VGA cards.  Acumos AVGA1 to be exact.  They are little 256k cards that
are supposed to be able to support 800x600x16; However, EVERY time I try and 
run windows in this resolution such and such an app causes a fault in 1800VGA
etc... Sometimes even the program manager.  *SIGH*  Anybody out there know of
any new drivers for this card?  Or is it never going to run in 8x6?

It's a windows ready program, and you should be able to find shareware

Whats the problem? You can do it from File Manager. 3.0 wouldn't
format in the background but 3.1 will.

Granted, it does slow everything else down to a crawl......

Setup installs a read-only file named WINA20.386 in your root

If you move the WINA20.386 file to a different directory, do the

I believe there's a Cyrillic font in the CorelDraw CD-ROM, although
it is obviously not public.

While on this topic, does anyone know of sources, public or commercial,
of foreign language TrueType fonts? There have been several requests
for scripts such as Cyrillic, Kanji, Korean, etc. I would like to
find various Indian fonts (such as Hindi and Bengali) as well as 
Middle Eastern fonts. 

If TrueType fonts for these scripts are not yet available, I would
appreciate any information on such fonts in either ATM or Windows
raster format. If Adobe fonts are available, there are tools to convert
them into TrueType, so they would be sufficient. I have heard of such 
fonts in the Macintosh format, so if anyone knows how to convert them
to TrueType, that would be great too.

Thanks,

It's difficult to describe what this font looks like, but when I look at
it, I get the impression of 1890's Coney Island, or even turn of the

You can save the whole scrollback buffer to a file just pulldown the Edit menu then click on scrollback buffer to and then click on file and it will give you the file thingy it does listing the drive and directory and file names and all that jazz.... havnt tried to save it to a file but I would see no reason why it doesnt work.

I know what you mean. It's something like the clipboard OEM or something like that. Real annoying...there is supposed to be some way of it not happening but I havnt figured it out yet.

     The WINASPI driver is, I believe, for those Windows applications
that are written to use it.  If a Windows application is not designed to
use it, having WINASPI won't do a thing for you (i.e., it won't speed up
disk accesses in general).  Adaptec's WINASPI comes with Central Point
Tools for DOS 8.0 (yes, *DOS* -- not Windows), although I believe that
CP Tools for DOS does NOT use it; it's probably used with the unreleased
CP Backup for Windows.

     If the above is wrong, I'd appreciate hearing about it.  ;-)

     If ASPI4DOS is working for you, then you don't need anything else,
unless you want to add a CDROM, tape drive, MO drive, etc..

What kind of highlighting were you looking for? In this version, MicroEMACS
does not highlight anything, because the core editor (this is a port, not a
new application) does not know anything about highlighting text.
OTOH, the blinking cursor does indicate the target text during incremental
searches.

This reminds me of something I've been wondering lately...

I've been using ATM and Micrografix Designer for a few years, and after
upgrading to Windows 3.1 have stopped using ATM because I've noticed that
documents I create with TT fonts rather than ATM fonts print *much* faster.

Designer has a neat feature which allows you to convert text into graphics
so that you can manipulate them in all sorts of interesting ways.  This
function never worked with the Windows 3.0 fonts (understandable as they
are fixed fonts), but now it also doesn't work with TT fonts.

Whenever I want to work with Designer, I need to turn ATM back on so that I
can again have fun with my text images.

Any way around this?
