Subject:      Re: Slow SCSI disk in Windows 3.1 Enh mode

Research....research....research.....

   If you look on page 541 of your Windows 3.1 manual (the Microsoft version,
not OEM) you will find the possible answer.  Microsoft does set it up that way
for a reason.  (Meaning a Smartdrv statement in both start-up files)  To enable
double buffering the command is required in both places.  The config.sys
command will/should read: device=c:\windows\smartdrv.exe /double_buffer.

   With both commands in place Microsoft instructs us to determine if it is
really needed (the config.sys line) by starting the MS-DOS prompt from Windows
using the default MS-DOS icon and then typing smartdrv at the DOS prompt and
pressing <enter>.  SmartDrive will then display info about your system.
Looking at the column labeled "Buffering", if every line in this column reads
NO you can remove the Smartdrv device statement from your config.sys file.  If
any of them read YES, you must keep the statement.

   I would caution against just removing the statement without following these
instructions first.  Remember, most of us don't back-up very often, and a
scrambled disk can ruin much more than your day.....

Subject:      Slow SCSI disk in Windows 3.1 Enh mode

Hello,

One a my PC's has the following configuration:

486DX/33 Clone Motherboard
8 Mb RAM
Ahead Technology SuperVGA display adapter
Adaptec 1542B SCSI controller
Fujitsu 1 Gb harddisk (don't know the type, maybe 2266S)

When running Windows 3.1 in enhanced mode, my disk becomes *very* slow.
I ran Norton's sysinfo from the DOS prompt, the Harddisk benchmark
shows more than 900 Kb/sec throughput. When running the same test
from a DOS box in Windows 3.1 the throughput drops tot 163 Kb/sec.
Running Windows in Standard mode solves the problem almost completely.
The througput is just a little (40 Kb/sec) lower than the 900 Kb under DOS.
I removed anything 'fancy' from my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. My
CONFIG.SYS now looks like this:

device=c:\windows\himem.sys
device=c:\windows\smartdrv.exe /double_buffer
files=40
buffers=20
dos=high

The README.WRI file that comes with Windows 3.1 says that Double
buffering *must* be enabled with a SCSI controller that uses DMA. I
also put the VirtualHDIrq=Off line in my SYSTEM.INI

I tried tot enable/disable Smartdrv in my AUTOEXEC.BAT, but that makes
no difference. I disabled the Windows Swap file, same results.

I moved the controller/harddisk to another 486DX/33 system (a Commodore
486DX-33) but the results are still the same.

Unfortunately the application that must run on the PC requires a throughput
as high as possible, so I feel a little desperate at the moment.

Has anyone experienced the same problems with SCSI disks? Is there
a solution to these problems?

Any input welcome.

Subject:      ODBC Information
              15 Dec 1992 13:32:00 EST

  does someone have information about the future
  Microsoft ODBC API, could you please mail it to me?

The ODBC developer's kit is commercially available.  It is not in
stores (and probably won't be), but you can mail-order it from
Microsoft.  It does not do many databases yet, but they say that all
database companies will be providing DLLs to talk to their databases.
It is unclear whether this DLL will cost you extra money.

Microsoft is trying to make the ODBC API be the standard way that a
database product can be used by another application under Windows and
NT.  The new Microsoft Access program is written using it, and you
will be able to use Access as a front end for any ODBC-compliant
database.

If one of the big or medium-sized database companies is unwilling to
write the necessary DLL, it looks like the Q+E people are prepared to
write one for them and sell it to end users.  Q+E has a database
product that talks to virtually all the databases, almost all without
requiring any special package from the database vendor.  The Q+E
product predates ODBC, but the Q+E people were heavily involved in the
group of database vendors that created the ODBC spec under Microsoft's
sponsorship.

Finally, ODBC is an implementation of the SAG standard (SQL Access
Group) which is attempting to specify a standard way that SQL
databases can talk to one another on all platforms.  The SAG spec is
currently not incredibly specific, but the ODBC spec is.  Microsoft is
a member of SAG, but does not play the leadership role it did in
developing the ODBC spec.

This of course is hear-say again, but I remember some techies
mentioning that the 486DX and the 486SX are the exact same chip but
the SX chip has the math-co disabled!  The SX has the coprocessor but
it is simply not functioning!......would make sense to mass produce
one chip and just not allow all the parts to work wouldnt it?

Perhaps those TIFF files are in a rather high resolution and perhaps 24-bit
or better color.  Or perhaps it's the flavor of TIFF those files are in.
I had a problem a while back in using a TIFF file from a NeXT in the DOS
world.  It took me a long time to find a program capable of displaying that
(only) 1meg image.

The Microsoft Developer's Network CD-ROM contains the referenced technical

I believe you must use PC3270 ver 1 from DOS to do your transfers.  PC3270
ver 2 for Windows does an excellent job of file transfers and is worth the

I am at work now, but if memory serve me, you must exclude the address space
C800-CFFF and possible A000-BFFF (video).  Check carefully when windows
attempts to initialize, usually it will display a message indicating the
address conflict.  Exclude that space from QEMM and try (reboot) again.

I use QEMM with Stealth - it works great.

Beg to differ.  The entry is correct.  Smartdrv requires specification
in the config.sys file for invoking certain options, double_buffer being
one of them.  It still needs to be invoked from the command line.

Subject:      HGW files into WPW

   I have been trying to create a graph (.PRS) file
using Harvard Graphics for Windows and copying it into
the clipboard in order to paste it ultimately into
Word Perfect for Windows.  When I paste the file into
WPW, it gets smashed into a narrow horizontal space and
renders the graph unreadable.  The cut and paste system
works perfectly using the Write program that comes with
Windows, but not with WPW.  I tried selecting the graph
and adjusting the vertical dimension, but all I succeed
in doing is changing the size of the selected area.  The
graph remains unchanged.
   Since I do not belong to this list, please respond to me
directly if you have any suggestions.  I would appreciate it.

Hi,
I am able to answer two of your three questions:
the ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) SDK is available for
anonymous ftp at the site ftp.uu.net
in the directory vendor/microsoft/odbc-sdk
as a self-exploding zip file odbc.exe
Regards,
Thomas

Subject: Success w/large TIFF files?
From: bwong@csulb.edu (Bradley Wong)
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 1992 02:19:38 GMT
Distribution: usa
Organization: Cal State Long Beach

Has anyone had success dealing with large raster (i.e., TIFF) files
under Windows?  All of a sudden, I need to work with 3Mb+ TIFF files
and Ami Pro, Corel Draw and Photofinish are puking their guts out.
(This on a 486 with 20Mb RAM and 200+ Mb free space).

Anyone have any success with the Aldus tools -- Pagemaker, Photostyler
and Freehand?  Any hints or suggestions?

Thanks
