Subject:      QvtNet 2.6

We got QvtNet 2.6 from a TRICKLE server, but cannot run it. I load
the PKTINT.COM program and launch WIN WNQVTNET and get three messages
to the effect that packet type 0 (Ether) is not supported, netinit()
error and a dying message.

The README.WRI file tells that PKTINT handles vector 80h, which I
entered into QVT_TCP.RC, where it is said that the vector should be in
the range [60h-7Fh]!

We are running PC-NFS on our PCs and have connections to TCP, NFS
and ARPA servers without any problems.

I am sure someone there in the wide netland has a solution. C'mon baby
make my day...

Remove the lastdrive=j command from the config.sys or set it up such that the
letter is before the drives that the network need to work.  If you have any
"subst" drives, remove them and try the network.  If this is a novell type
system, which we have over here, it is very notorious in the drive letters it
wants to use.
Setting the temp=H:\ to temp=c:\ freed that drive for the network to use.
Further by using lastdrive=z, you're leaving the network no drives to work with.

Hope this helps.

This used to be chronic problem!  But I haven't seen it at my node for

        You have to buy these dictionaries; Microsoft has authorized Alki
Software (in Seattle) to sell them. There should have been an insert in your
Winword package with details, or you can call Alki at 800-669-9673. The
dictionaries also come with the appropriate thesaurus and are available in a
variety of languages: German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and
British English are the ones I remember. Alki offers a discount to educational
institutions, but you'll have to insist on it. In addition, the booklet that
comes with the Proofing Tools (which is what they're called) is the only place
I know that describes the various keyboards that come with Windows; Microsoft
tech support doesn't have a clue.

Give this a try....

                            Icon Title Face

You can change the type face and size of the text which appears under
icons very easily. There are two lines which must be added to the
WIN.INI file under the [Desktop] heading. They are:

IconTitleFaceName=
IconTitleSize=

The IconTitleFaceName is any True Type font name and the IconTitleSize
is the point size you desire. The defaults are MS Sans Serif and 8.

While this has been reported elsewhere as working with any font, I am
unable to succeed with every font I choose.

I do know of such software/hardware for the PC:

        BIG MOUTH       price ~350.00 (?as I remember)

There were also other products from the same company with even more
features.  As I remember, they advertised in the major computer magazines.
Look there for updated info and pricing.

        The DOS product was from Alki Software (aka Peter Rinnearson) who also
produced a legal dictionary. They did the same thing for Winword 1.X, but with
2.X--which has a different dictionary format so older ones won't work--Alki
came out with ONE dictionary, which has medical, legal, financial, scientific,
etc. I haven't purchased it, as I was so ticked off that my legal dictionary
for 1.x was useless. Guess that'll show them!

Subject:      remote pc

Hi,

I was faced with pretty much the same problem when the dial-up line
to our mainframe was disabled (at any rate when one of the bosses
pocketed the modem).  I've consedered a package called PC-Anywhere - you
run a program on the host machine (the one connected to the mainframe)
which waits for an incomming call from the machine running another part
of the package on the remote (home-based) machine.  Password protection
is available on login to prevent prevent any joker who knows your office
phone number from dialing up, and password protection is also provided
on the system setup software, thus preventing anyone who is logged on
changing defaults or login-passwords.  Caller logs are also available.

That's the theory, but I don't know if it actually works very well.
I did see it working once, and it seemded to do DOS type things OK,
but when Windows was attempted the thing to an age to load and crashed out
at the startup bitmap.  I suspect this may have been due to the host
machine running a different VGA card at high res to the one in the
remote machine, so if this is true you may have to stick to plain old
vanilla VGA in all the host machine.  The review I've read on it does
state that it will run Windows, but very very slowly.

I'd be interested to hear your eventual solution.

HTH,
Kenny (20 minutes away from 2 weeks vacation:-) )

Well now...
If you doesn't need EMS for DOS apps and like Windows (who doesn't?) then 
the best way to go is to use EMM386.EXE to provide UMB:s, XMS, no EMS but
still allow Windows to provide EMS to DOS-apps (using both the RAM and NOEMS
switches for EMM386). Then you load as much as possible high (beware that 
not all drivers/TSR:s can be loaded high and that trying to load non-TSR:s 
high often fragments the UMB). This way you let Windows provide EMS only if 
needed in the same way as QEMM  does.

I have tested QEMM386 (old version, what's the latest one?) but have had 
nothing but problems with it. The largest problem is with BC. Sometimes 
QEMM stops the PC with some message (don't ask what) and then locks the 
computer totally (even if it gives you the option to continue)!
It may be that the newer versions work better but i'm totally satisfied
with Microsofts EMM386. You just have to include some unused memoryareas if
you want more UMB:s (MDA videomem B000-B7FF, ROMBased system BIOS Setup 
(needed only while booting) ...).

Greetings,

Our institution is using the KnowledgeWare's IEW CASE tool (release 5.02)
in a University-wide enterprise study. We are only using the Planning and
Analysis modules at this time. We are also running DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1
on the same single personal computer (486 architecture). We modified the
autoexec.bat and config.sys files when we installed IEW. We have not though
been successful in setting up a configuration to run IEW under Windows.
As currently set up we need to close Windows then change directory to IEW
at the DOS prompt in order to fire up IEW.

If anyone has had success in running IEW under DOS/Windows 3.1 could you
please share your setup configurations. Thanks in advance for your help.
(I am also posting this inquiry to CASE-L.)

  The Gartner Group is a well-known U.S. company to which many companies
request information subscriptions.  These Strategy groups include main-
frame, telecommunications, and cooperative processing groups.  Each
group subscription costs about $8500 and provides considerable infor-
mation during the year.
  I have not seen the presentation you mention, but have received the
same flyer.
