Subject:      Word 4 Windows Header/Footer --> Never-Never Land

Has anyone seen this problem?

I am running word for windows 2.0 - windows 3.1 - dos 5.0...
In word for windows, I have a document open with the header
and footer filled in.  Out of the blue, the header and footer are deleted.
This happened to me twice - I'm not sure about the first time, but
I think both times it happened when I was saving the file.
Naturally, the saved file loses the header/footer data.  Bummer!

In response to a question about whether Windows will find NWPOPUP.EXE if
it is in the system directory someone replied:

>>    The short answer is, "No, Windows will neither find nor use
>>NWPOPUP.EXE unless you move it into the windows directory.

Oops.  This is _not_ correct.  When loading a module (exe or dll) Windows will
look in the current directory, the windows directory, the system directory,
the DOS path, and the current directory of drives mapped to the network.
(In that order.)

The result of this in this case is that executables residing in the system
directory _can_ be executed without specifying a full path.

It's not important, just a support component for an obscure little network. :-)

(Seriously, it is the piece that traps NetWare broadcast messages and displays
them in a dialog box.)

Hi,

Check out what kind of UART you have on your PC.
If it is a 8250, change it to 16550. (The numbers may be a little inaccurate)

I know there is a shareware programe around that checks what UART your PC has,
but I don't remember what it's called |

We are working in an environment of clients and servers machines running

I've installed windows for workgroups in a machine but the only protocol

Is there any way to make wfw work with another protocol ?

A sh.Z file is a compressed (mostly unix, bot there are some DOS versions)
of a sh (shell archive) file.  I don't think that there is a sh file
extractor for DOS, although I could be wrong (see b.gates & intel  :)  ).
To decompress it, bring it to a unix host, type uncompress xxx.sh, and you
will be left with a file called xxx.sh.  Then type sh xxx.sh <cr> and you
should get an extracted set of files.

Subject:      Re: Virus?? HELP

Hi evryone!

I have just installed Windows 3.1 on my machine (a PC), and it starts
just allright, but the light for the hard drive keeps blinking all the
time, and it is VERY slow. It takes over a minute to load windows,
and almost as much to load word. I have a 386 with 16 megahertz.
Have I got a virus? Is there a virus remover for windows?

Please help!!!!!

-------------------------------------------

     For heaven's sake man, get hold of yourself!

     No, no virus for Windows yet ...(give'em time...)

     Anyway, the reason the drive runs all the time is the Virtual Memory
file that windows creates when it is installed. It uses a disk file to
simulate memory. From the Windows desktop, do an About and see how much
memory you have. It will show MUCH more than you PHYSICALLY have.

Subject:      Conflicting Message/? Numbers

In the process of working my way through Petzold's book (2nd ed., Win 3),
I have now twice come across the following problem. When compiling a program
that includes its definitions in its own header file, sometimes these conflict
with other values within nested switch statements.  Concrete example:

   Using the About2 program, app. page 420, there is a switch statement nested
   within another.  The inside switch() has as one of its cases the custom-
   defined IDD_MAGENTA, which corresponds to 15.  This clashes with WM_PAINT
   used for a case in the outer switch statement, as WM_PAINT is defined as
   15 in windows.h.  My fix, such as it is, consists of shifting the various
   IDD_color values in About2.h from the original range of 10-17 downward to
   7-14, to avoid the clash at 15.  The program now compiles and links fine,
   but almost everything I click on in the program causes it to bomb, which
   Win 3.1 gracefully "intercepts". (The display also didn't quite look right.)

I'm running DOS 5.0, Win 3.1, 486-33DX machine, using Borland C 3.1 compiler.

I realize my fix is probably not the best idea, but it was all that this
almost beginner Windows programmer could think of.
Is this something in the compiler (the book is geared towards Microsoft),
am I doing or missing something stupid?  I've checked the source code; that
seems to match what the book has.  Anyone have any clues or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Problem solved!  I (redfaced) did find a ";" completing a
switch(...) statement; that took care of the duplicate case value.

I prefer to enter programs with my DOS editor, then I get
into BC to create the exe version.  Looks like under DOS, (presently)
I'm generating 8086 code.  Windows BC forces me (understandably) into
generating 80286 code. 'Cause when I elected to generated 80386 code,
the About2 program compiled and ran fine.  Guess I was just lucky that
so many of Petzold's programs worked with 8086 code. After sending
this message, I will immediately force BC to generate 80386 code from
now on.  Thanks again to those who helped.

        Which version of Winword are you running, I believe this was fixed
in one of the maintenance/interim releases. These are available free from
Microsoft; the most recent is 2.0c (which confusedly comes in a package
labelled 2.0d).

Im pretty sure that if the user has read,write or rw acces to a

If they do not have this access these drives should not be accessible
to their FileManager.

If this is not the case.....please write back

     As far as I am concerned, here we use v3.11 of NetWare and under
windows, we aren't set up for it, but If you are logged in, you can see the

I have seen this problem with some clone PC's.  There is a device driver with
DOS 5.0 that should fix your problem.  This is the 'drivparm' driver.  The
format should be like below:

drivparm=/d:0 /c /f:1

Note: you may need to set '/h:' for number of heads, and '/s:' for number of
sectors.  The reason for all of this is to tell DOS that your drive can detect
when a new disk has been inserted and that it needs to reread the disk.  If
this does not work, try the same command without the '/c' parameter.  I assume
that your 'A' drive is a 1.2MB, if not, use '/f:0' instead.

This may be a silly question, but, here goes. I am currently using Procomm
Plus -- not Procomm for windows. Is there any way to get it to work with
windows? I've messed around with the pif settings, but couldn't seem to get it
to work right. What am I doing wrong? I would think that it should work under
windows, considering it *does* come with a windows icon. Any suggestions?
