Dear Netter :

Yes, there are at least two Chinese MS-Windows 3.1 now in the market.

    1.  One is developed by the Institute of Information Industry in
Taiwan. It was released about 3 months ago. You can buy it from Acer
Corp. in Taiwan.

    2. The other one is developed by a company in Mainland China.
I know nothing about it.

    3. There will be another version of C-Win to be released soon
-- the Microsoft version Chinese MS-Windows 3.1.  The release date
maybe next month.

Subject:      COM port addresses

Greetings,

I apologize for the length of this message but I am trying to get this COM
port address and Irq stuff straight and I expect others might be interested
also.  The following are excerpts from documentation included with the
Windows Resource Kit.

From SYSINI.WRI:

>COM1Base=<address>
>COM2Base=<address>
>COM3Base=<address>
>COM4Base=<address>
>
>Default:  COM3Base=3E8h and the port address values located in the
>BIOS data area for COM1, COM2, and COM4.
>
>COM1Irq=<number>
>COM2Irq=<number>
>COM3Irq=<number>
>COM4Irq=<number>
>
>Default:  COM1Irq=4; COM2Irq=3; COM3Irq=4; COM4Irq=3 for ISA and
>EISA machines. COM1Irq=4; COM2Irq=3; COM3Irq=3; COM4Irq=3 for
>MCA machines

From COMMQA.WRI:

>What base addresses and IRQs does Windows use for serial ports?
>
>Windows must know the base I/O addresses and interrupt request lines (IRQs) of
   the serial ports
>on your PC.  It determines these as follows:

>BIOS Data Area:  Windows looks here (40:0) first for port base addresses.
>Most PCs specify address values here for built-in COM ports, but not for
>add-in adapters.  If Windows finds an address here, it will use this over
>any other defaults or settings.
>
>Serial ports commonly use the following base I/O address and IRQ values:
>
>  Port        Address    IRQ
>  COM1 *       03F8       4
>  COM2         02F8       3
>  COM3         03E8       4
>  COM3 (PS/2)  3220       3
>  COM4         02E8       3

> * If the BIOS data area specifies COM1 address as 03F8, then Windows
>   uses IRQ3 instead.

Here are my comments/questions:

1. The last sentence ( * If the BIOS data area...) appears to be
   inconsistent with the other documentation.

2. My computer's BIOS data area (40:0) specifies 02E8 for COM3, which is
   NOT Window's default.  As I understand the above, Windows will use the
   BIOS value regardless of what I might specify using Control Panel.
   So, should I change my BIOS data area to be consistent with Windows or
   what?

Bottom line - I'm confused.  Anyone care to comment?

Hello,
I can see that many people are replying to this but they are just touching
on it.

*.tar files are (most likely) from a UNIX system.  They are normally a
group of files that were 'glued' or 'tar'ed together but are not
necessarily compressed.  UNIX has a 'compress' and 'uncompress' program
that shrinks files and they are identified by the name of *.Z (capital Z)

Note that many times these UNIX file contain source code so that the
programs are more compatable (across UNIX platforms...)

The problem that many WIN & DOS users have is that they can't get to a UNIX
system to see what is in the files and thus they are useless, even if they
contain source code that is easy to convert to WIN or DOS...

There is a DOS tool called unixtool.zip that allows DOS users to manipulate
these UNIX files (and even more UNIX like tools!)  The file can be found in
one of three (ftp) locations:
   plains.nodak.edu        in  /pub/pc/unix-like
   unr.edu                 in  /pub/pc/unix-like
or animal-farm.nevada.edu  in  /pub/ibm.pc

I hope that this helps...


My QUESTION: Is there a programmers list for WIN3.X? (Borland C++ hopefully)
       ALSO: Is there a list where shareware authors can meet to share tips
             and ideas?  (If you are a software author please contact me
             directly...)  I have programs that I would like to get out...

As I have said, please contact me directly...

Mark,

    I have the Zenith Win 3.1, Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0a, and Excel 4.0,
and I have never installed Visual Basic for copied VBRUN100.DLL explicitly.
But, when I checked my windows directory, it was there.  Hope that this helps.

No, it works in Standard Mode, too.  It requires at least 2MB RAM, Windows
3.0 or higher, DOS 3.1 or higher.  It works on 286s, 386s, and 486s.

Good grief!  This scam has gone around a few times.  Seems to me last time

Subject:      Problem with Macro Recorder

Hello,
I have a serious problem with the Win 3.1 Macro Recorder (in write). I want
to try to make macros which include going to the start-of-line and the end-
of-line. Therfore I recorded a macro (lets make a simple example) which I
call E and which is activated by pressing CTRL-E. I record the macro with
ignore mouse, and it is just one key-stroke: END. While recording the macro
the cursor jumps correctly to the end-of-line. If I play the macro by
pressing CTRL-E the cursor jumps to the end-of-document (which would be
correct on CTRL-END). If I play the macro from within the recorder
everything works as expected. If I put the macro on lets' say F12
everything works fine. Somehow the application mixes the CTRL from
activating the macro with the keys from the macro, if the the recorded
keystrokes are INSERT DELETE END BEGIN etc.
Is this a know bug (feature?)? Is there a fix? Does anybody know anything
about this?
Thanks for any info.

Date: 5 Nov 92 03:18:33 GMT
Organization: University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA


Recently I have had a difficulty with Windows freezing as I boot up the
machine.  I believe the problem was related to the fact that I had Windows
playing a WAV file at bootup as changing this to "none" apparently
relieved the problem.

The thing is, nothing has changed in my bootup in the past 2 months and
this problem manifested itself only about 2 weeks ago.  

The only thing I did do was to move my permanent swapfile from disk C: to
disk D: (two hard drives).

Anyone out there have any ideas what might have been causing this problem?
 I am using a Sound Blaster with the 1.0 drivers.

Thanks

I have used the 32k 640x480 driver.  I use a Zenith 14" flat sceen VGA
monitor, and had no trouble pulling in the extra colors.  The only difference
I noticed was that even though there were more colors, they weren't quite so
pleasant to look at (all my icons suddenly looked very garish and plastic).
Also, I had to move the mouse a lot farther on the pad in order to produce an
equivalent movement of the pointer on the screen using the 32k color driver as
opposed to the standard VGA driver.  I also seem to recall the 32k color
driver behaving a little better in applications such as Word and WinQVT, i.e.,
it didn't cause as many GPF's.  All of the Stealth drivers appear much better
behaved in 386enhanced mode also.

Possibly the import filter changes the font. You are using Insert File?

Anyway i don't se any great problem here:
Just select the whole text (ctrl-5) and select the correct font. And there
it is... ready to go....

I respectfully disagree.  I am a newcomer to the internet and had not
had prior exposure to the scam.  The messages that identified it as
a scam were helpful to me, as I might have been sucked in otherwise.

Thanks,

386spart.par is the permenent virtual memory file for windows3.1
to get rid of it, change your virtual memory to temporary.  (I think
that should do it, if not then I am relativly sure you can delete it safely...
I did a while back.)
