Imagine Visual Basic as a database and you come pretty close. Lots of
info is out there about this product now. Byte (December issue, I
think) has a in-depth first look, Data Based Advisor has a very 
detailed article in the November or December issue.

I've been tooling around with it for the past week or so and am
greatly impressed by its capabilities. It's very different than
other databases available on the market. You can design an entire
database from the ground up, include all your tables, forms, reports
macros, and VB-like program modules and it is all deposited in a
single DOS file.

Access seems incredibly rich compared to other DBMS products. There
seems to be several different ways to do just about everything. There
is an OLE data type, so you can link/embed documents or spreadsheets
in your databases; there is direct access to DDE for inter-program
communication; you can nest forms inside of forms and reports inside
of reports to keep designs simple and modular; and the list goes on.

This is a really new product with some reputed bugs, so it might be 
a little bleeding edge right now, but I think this is actually pretty
normal for a brand-new database. At $99, though, it's a steal and it's
going to be around for a long, long time. If you are interested in 
databases, it's pretty hard to pass up.

There is no problem, that's normal behaviour. Only use 640x480 drivers

Nope. WP4W5.2 is much better than what is alluded to in the deleted portion of

Hello all!  I would like to optimize the memory usage in my system as
well as speed up loading windows and applications.  So far I think I have
optimized the memory usage but I am not sure.  Below is the my config.sys
and autoexec.bat; could someone tell me if there is anything I can do
to these files to improve system performance?

Using the configuration below, I have noticed the loading windows and
big applications like Ami Pro take fairly long.  I suspect that it might
be because I am using smartdrv.  Is there a faster caching program?

To save bandwitdth, please send replies to chungy2@rpi.edu.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I've been playing around with Access for a little while now and I just had to
report on a mistake in the User Guide.
For Appendix D, Setting Up Microsoft Access on a Network, the title listed for
the pages after the title page is 'Setting up Microsoft Cirrus on a Network'.
Guess the code name Cirrus may have become the product name at one point or
another.

Hi,

I want to transfer objects (text, formulas) from AMI Pro 2.0 Win documents to
Freelance Graphics for Windows.

If I use the cut and paste via the clipboard, the good resolution in a printout
of AMI Pro vanishes in a printout of the Freelance objects. The quality in
Freelance graphic printer output is very very poor (pixel blocks).

The (german) handbook tells me to use the Windows Meta File format to get the
best quality, espacially if I scale the formulas up or down. There is no
hint how to save parts (non text preferable) of the document 
(or the clipboard) in reasonable quality for further use in AMI Pro, and 
respectivly only the one mentioned above in my Freelance Graphics handbook.

Any little helps !


Thanks in advance,

   The instructions for the card allow for this possibility. Such
a conflict is supposed to give a particular diagnostic result during
install, which did not occur. The result I had was attributed to
the wrong DMA setting or a defective card.  I tried IRQ's 2,3,5 and
7 with each of DMA's 1 and 3 (and no modem card) without success).
Media Vision are so backed up that their technicians cannot get
back to me until Dec.16.

Don't know about the beta. The preleminary SDK doesn't. If you have
access to a machine with both a CD drive and a floppy, it is
quite simple to create a set of floppies which are sufficient
to install Windows NT from them.

>Can you run concurrent DOS sessions like OS/2?  Are they robust?

No, you can't. There is a multiple boot feature, however, and
a DOS emulation subsystem. Currently, it is not very robust. But
it is more than sufficient to run the various DOS based programmers

Well, I used it for over a month for program development and

About 35 MBytes for the system including the usual set of applets,
plus about 20 MBytes for a swapfile. The SDK comes extra. :-)

It seems to be mostly complete, in the October prerelease.

Barely. I installed it on a 8 MByte 486/25, and tried a few things.
It runs slowly, but it runs. I would recommend that you upgrade
your machine to 16M before attempting to do any serious work,
or that you wait for the final release.

>What do you see different about it versus 3.1?

It's fully preemptive. You can launch a second program via the 
program manager before the first one even displays its main 
window, for example.

It has a file systems which has long filenames and knows about
file ownership.

Yes.

I have also had many problems with the new release of Xtalk for Windows

WinSpector (Borlands version of Dr. Watson).  They are already talking about a 
maintenance release because of many reported bugs.  I have been pleased with 
all of the other Xtalk products but I'm really disappointed with the apparent 
hasty release of this version.  Maybe they were trying to catch the holiday 
sales season.  I would not want the current release in my stocking until they

Quattro pro for windows is slightly sluggish even on a 486dx33 w 8mg machine.
 Now if ya have two things up say with wp4w it is even more so. However, 
I only have a trident card right now, so that probably explains the reason
for most of it.
HOWEVER, QP4w is not doing a very good job with DDL or OLE interfacing. 
I have two other programs that support this and when I go to paste special
to open a link, my object menu does not include QP. Most unfortunate!
This is a problem with QP and not the other programs apparently, from several
calls I have made.  however the charting is very good. You can get around the
OLE and DDL stuff by exporting charts to a bmp or 5 to 6 other export formats
and then have your software like wp4w export the graph in, but this is sort of 
a hassle, why the hell have ddl or ole if ya got to do that, right?

Even if WfW is finally changed to fix this, users should be aware that

This was mentioned as shipping in last week's _PC Week_.  Further,
WordPerfect Corporation had a news release stating it was shipping
which I saw on Clarinet dated December 4.  I have an order in 
(sent in 2.5 weeks ago), but haven't received it yet.  The Clarinet
article made reference to the great demand for 5.1 and it sounds like
they'll take pains to ensure that there's no backlog...
