Yep, sounds very familiar!  I am having the same problem too.  I don't
know if 2.0 was a problem or not.  I seem to get different type of errors
depending on whether I fax on standard or fine resolution.  I faxed my
problem to Delrina and got a call back 4 days later.  Their suggestions
were: (1) Disable all screensavers 
      (2) Reconfigure the modem as a type 1 instead of 2 (to put more
control to the program rather than hardware.) They said they felt this
would definately fix it.  I tried it and am still getting the errors.  So
I'm back waiting for Delrina to call back.  The biggest difference in our
configurations seems to be the modem type, I was using a Zoom VFX V32bis
Fax modem.  You might want to see if these work for you.  Let me know if
you figure anything out.

I suspect that the original poster was looking for a user-friendly front
end for Ghostscript, as am I.   gs252win, as well as the unix version of
Ghostscript has an awkward text-based interface which makes it difficult to
use.  Ghostview, which is not available in a PC version, makes it easy to
pick files to preview with a mouse, page forwards and back, etc.  If anyone
out there knows of a good MS Windows utility to simplify the use of
Ghostscript, I'd really like to hear about it.

I have a tool called 'Font Monster' wich allows you to in/deinstall and
manipulate TrueType and Adobe Fonts by their 'name', 'id','fontgroup..'
and much more but not to change the Outline.

And a second tool called TT Font Master which can easily install/deinstall
fonts in Windows 3.1.

These Fonts are from a local BBS here in Germany. sorry...:-) but maby there
is a BBS in Boston too. Or try the Simtel archieve !!

good luck, I hope I gave you a hint

Wingif is a good program, but unfortunately does not read TIF files.
Or at least, the version I have does not, and if you have a new
version which can, I'd like to know about it.

Two other neat programs are PaintShop Pro (PSP101.zip ??) and
Pixfolio. PSP is a program that will change formats that is also a
capture program, and is really well done. It will read TIFF, but
according to my experience, has problems in that it inverts the TIFF
image. Or perhaps this is a littleendian/bigendian problem because my
original scan was on a Mac.

Pixfolio is a neat program that keeps little thumbnails of your
pictures, even if they are on floppy. Great as a cataloger of your
pictures. It reads TIFFS, and doesn't have any problems with my
Mac-based TIFFS.

cheers,

kartik

Ok, really weird, but today I was checking a document and one word hangs
up the spell-checker it is: One.

With the capital O , 'one' is fine, just 'One'. Try it and see what
happens. When it gets to it and hilites the word, of the choices to 'replace
the mispelled word' include, ironically 'One', so I try to replace it with
the chosen 'One' from the list and just sits there saying it is misspelled.
So I do a Skip all, and lo and behold it shows up on the next occurance of
'One'. Guys, please check and see if it happens to you too, or am i insane.

Thanks

Try WinEdit 1.3 from Wilson WindowWare.  It has multiple undo/redo,
multiple file windows, right mouse-button support, integrated
support for compiling/linking/running programs, macros and lots more.
(Shareware, $60)

Also available is a commercial product from Premia called Codewright.
This is similar to WinEdit but even more programming features.

I regularly use W4W 2.0 template to print one label per addressee, which
appears to be the way it was designed rather than to print an entire sheet of
labels for one person.  I get 14 different (to match the stock I use) labels
per page.

Or perhaps I didn't understand the problem?

Subject: A standard in wordprocessing interface?
Date: 10 Jan 1993 00:52:09 GMT
Organization: Michigan State University
NNTP-Posting-Host: horus.cem.msu.edu

Hi wordprocessing users/programmers/companies,

It seems to be an insult to human civilization that, as advanced as we'd like
to think the software engineering to be now, wordprocessing interface is still
extremely counter-intuitive, illogical, and arbitrary. 

Why should people be punished due to their Sin by memorizing totally random 
combinations of ctrl, alt, shift, and F keys? I don't even what think about
switching to another wordprocessor.

GUIs and menu help beginners tremendously. But any extended use quickly shows
that a mouse often distracts and, of course, drags. 

Would it be nice if some of the leading wp companies sit down together and
work out some sort of standard, and make it so that there's some sort of
logic or systematic catagorization in it? Or some sort of standard in the
definition of the function keys?

Of course, everyone has his own personal definition of what is intuitive. Yet
I very much doubt that there's ever been a human being born with the instinct
to recognize shift-ctrl-F7 as being UnhangIndent. 

For example, some tasks seems pretty universal among various types of common
computer usage. Such as open/new, help (already pretty much standardized to F1, 
good), save, save as, mark/cut/copy/paste (also sort of standardized), search/
replace, go to top/end/anywhere, tile/cascade windows, arrange icons, switch
windows, change configuration or preference, print, printer setup, page setup,
zoom in/out, etc. These could be standardized to Fkeys, with the advantage
of not needing to choose whether ctrl-S should mean "save", "save as", or
"inSert 'Some Sorry Sob iS in SeriouS S***'". After that, someone could print 
those on/around the Fkeys on their keyboard and make a fortune. The fact that
shift-1 is "!" is as non-intuitive as it can get. The only reason why people
don't complain is because it is printed on the key, in a very intuitive
manner.

For example, all navigating tasks are assigned ctrl-something, all formating
tasks are shift-ctrl-something, all dingbat stuff (like table, glossary, object,
whatever) are alt-ctrl-something. Stuff like that.

Having the capability to customize is cool. But we poor users would be more
than happy not to use it if we don't need to.

Human civilization has brought standardization of nuts and bolts, computer
hardware, is in the process for os interface. Now it's time to begin with
general-purpose apps like wp, database, graphics, and spreadsheet.

Hi folks,

I have a problem printing envelopes using Ami Pro 3.0 and the HP Deskjet 500.
I'm not sure whether it's a problem with the printer or the program, but my
return address never prints correctly.  I've tried to indent the return
address, but to no avail.  Also, I should note I am using the Ami Pro envelop
style -- when I print I choose the PRINT RETURN ADDRESS box.  I am currently
using HP's driver for the HP Deskjet 500 (driver is dated 9/92).

Is this a problem with Ami Pro, or is it the printer or, more likely, the 
driver?  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a fix from Lotus or
HP?

My sincere thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

Make sure that you are loading MOUSE.COM/MOUSE.SYS that came with Windows 
3.1.  They may be found in your Windows directory or on your disks.  If so, 
use the expand.exe utility that came with Windows to decompress the copy on 
your floppies.

  SYNTAX:
  expand a:\mouse.co_ c:\windows\mouse.com (or something like that)

Check your manuals for more information.  Also, make sure that you are using 
current video drivers.

Yes, you are correct.  You can select from all of your fonts by selecting
(I think) "Character" further down on the menu list. You will have a screen
where you can select from any of your fonts, and also change the other
attributes such as size and bold/italic/etc.  I don't have the program in 
front of me to check, so I might be mistaken about the menu title.

I believe that it is a limitation of windows that causes the initial problem.
I remember reading this, I believe, in Aldus magazine.  I will see if I can
find the article.

I recently put Windows on a PC attached to a Novell network (3.11)
that is also connected to our campus backbone.  I installed
out-of-the-box (ie, had the network drivers loaded (ODI) but let it do
a standard (non-custom) install).  Works fine except when I attempt to
use ftp/telnet from a full-screen DOS window.  I have a Western
Digital ethernet card and in the CONFIG.SYS use the 'X=' option.
I figured WIndows needed to have this as well so I put an EMMExclude=
statement into 'SYSTEM.INI' section [386enh].  However, now when I
start Windows I get an error message saying that I don't have any
devices that need 386 enhanced mode.
What do you figure I'm missing?
