	I have Calendar Creator for DOS (from PowerUP).  They just put
	out an upgrade notice for a new windows version.  It's the
	best DOS calendar software I've ever seen - if the windows
	version is at least as good, I'll be happy.  There are
	supposed to be a bunch of new features in the windows version,
	as well as the new DOS release.

This is definately a bug - I have had it a couple of times. Each
time I have deleted text until there was only a single Microsoft
Drawing and it was still "too large to save". CUTing and PASTING
the drawing in Word didn't help. Luckily I had the same picture
in  another document (slightly edited) so I deleted the offending
picture and pasted in the spare copy, same picture, same
size etc and all was well.

It seems to happen after lots of edits, so I suspect
it could be a problem with FastSave?

Subject: Tape backup problem with Norton Desktop's latest release
Organization: The Ohio State University
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1992 01:22:28 GMT

Hi Folks,

	Yesterday I bought the newest version of Norton 
Desktop 2.0.  It now includes support for QIC 40/80 tape backup 
drives.  I quickly installed the program on my computer running 
Windows 3.1, and started a backup of about 30MB of files.  
After about half of the job was done it gave me an error 
message looking like this:  

Command transmission unsuccessful.
Reference: 83-01-1634-0

I called Symantec tech support and was adviced to change a 
statement in the "ndw.ini" files that deals with the type of 
tape drive you have.  It was changed from 6 to 4.  That was 
supposed to take care of the problem.  It didn't and called 
back.  This time the fix was to edit the "system.ini" file so 
that the virtual device drivers added by NDW (they were in 
capital letters) to the beginning of the "386 Enh" section.  
That didn't work either.  Once again I called back and was now 
told to disable the Windows "smartdrive" statement in the 
"autoexec.bat" file, and then try it by running Windows in both 
standard and enhanced mode.  It worked for both modes.  I then 
activated "smartdrive" again and what do you know; the error 
message was back.

Conclusion: 

I called back to Symantec and asked what the fix 
was.  They didn't know other than to write down my concerns and 
then hopefully get back to me.  There is a reason for concern 
when a program doesn't work with "smartdrive," since most users 
of Windows are using it.  BTW, Central Point Backup doesn't have 
that problem.  

Has anyone else experienced this?

Ps.  I am running a Gateway 2000 486, 33MHz system and my tape
     backup drive is a Colorado Memory System DJ10 120 MB

I just got my WinWord 2.0b upgrade, and I'm wondering how I'm supposed to tell
what's new. I don't use MS Mail, but at least I saw something about that in
the read me file. I found the clear screen feature in Options-View, and I
think it's great. Is there a command for it, though, that I can assign to a
keystroke?
 
What else is new in it? I heard about an odd/even printing macro, but I can't
find it in newmacro.doc.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.

I hate to correct someone from micrografx about one of their own
products... but... Actually, both version 3.0 as well as version 3.1
"support" truetype fonts. They can both use truetype as well as ATM
fonts. 3.0 came with additional properietary fonts, and 3.1 comes with
additional truetype fonts. The properiatry fonts with 3.0 can't be
used with other applications. I don't know if these proprietary fonts
come with 3.1 because I only have 3.0 + the 3.1 upgrade, and I don't
know what is shipped with the current product.

Why not try the windows version of gnuplot? It is on ftp.cica.indiana.edu in

Create the macro you want to run when the file closes, say MACROS.XLM!Close.
Define the name Auto_Close on the worksheet and enter =MACROS.XLM!Close in
    the Refers To box.

When you close the file (whether with File Close, the control menu, or
whatever, your macro will run first (before the "save changes?" alert).
Auto_Open and Auto_Close are special names that Excel uses.  They work 
on macro sheets or on worksheets (but, of course, on a worksheet the 
name must point to a valid macro sheet macro).

Hope this help,

Next time you use this disk to install it will ask you to input the name and

BTW a similar system exists with Excel, I'm not sure about the other MS

You can do either. If using ODI you need the odipkt shim. You can obtain

For this you will need the BYU ipx_pkt shim. Try bigwig.geology.indiana.

I've used both and they do work.

Is the a FAX/OCR combination that can deliver to email?

That is, if a FAX came in and the sender placed an email address on
the FAX, then could a program with the assistance of OCR send the FAX
along to one's email address?

Thanks.

Help?

My wife is using Ventura 4 under Windows 3.1 driving a HP LaserJet clone.  
Her system is a Viglen 486/25, 4MB, 100MB IDE disk, doesn't use  
PrintManager. She is finding that printing of dense but otherwise  
unexciting test pages very slow (eg page per minute) - much slower than  
they used to get on a 1640 Amstrad (8086) box under GEM. Printing these  
pages to disk shows gives very large files (eg 7MB for 20 pages).

If anyone has any hints, tips or questions we'd really appreciate the help  
- and maybe she could get home before dark a little more often :-). I'm a  
workstation weeny so feel free to flame me on my description of the  
problem. I'll happily dig out more info if asked.

Thanks,
