Once I copy *.ttf (fonts) into my c:\windows\system directory,
how do I get them to appear when I choose fonts in W4W?  Should
this happen automatically (and if not, what went wrong?)?
PS: how do I turn on screensaver without having to manually
	edit win.ini?

Not necesarily.  NT is a completely new OS.  It *might* have good
backward compatibility (that's certainly an avowed design goal), but
what a product is or was called has nothing to do with this, as any
Chevy Nova owner can tell you!  Indeed, it's my understanding that IBM
rejected MS's plans for OS/2 3.0 precisely because of compatibility
concerns.

When you register, you get fonts for all common screen resolutions, 
including 1024x768 (which is what I use). It's just right!
The shareware version includes only VGA fonts.

If all users in your group have the same video driver then your

	Group1=C:\WINDOWS\MAIN.GRP
	Group2=I:\WINDOWS\WINFONTI.GRP
etc.

where I: is a shared disk.  You can specify the group when you do a "File
New" and specify a Progam Group, enter the description, and give the full
path name for the group file.  The group should be write protected so that
no one user can update the properties of individual programs.

Drawbacks: 1) since it is write protected if there are different video cards
being used then the icons won't appear correct for all displays and 2) the
group won't always be available when the network is down.

What I currently do is the following: set

	Group2=C:\WINDOWS\WINFONTI.GRP

and in AUTOEXEC.BAT

	if exist I:\WINDOWS\WINFONTI.GRP copy I:\WINDOWS\WINFONTI.GRP C:\WINDOWS

This will display the correct icons and get me the latest version of the 
group with all updated properties every time I re-boot.

Yep, FrameMaker for windows has been shipping for the last three
months or so.  There's a recent review in the PC Magazine that
came out this month.  I was a beta test site and am now a user of
the program.  I use it mainly because it runs on my SPARC at work,
and I need to work at home from time to time.  Since it only
prints to laser printers (or, at least, to printers whose dot
pitch is the same horizontally and vertically) my printer at home
doesn't let me print :-(.  You'll need SVGA (800x600) or greater
resolution on your monitor for good results, although I've seen it
running on a black and white laptop at 640x400.  It needs some
10-20 meg of disk space, I think, for everything.  It certainly
works as advertised: I just polished off a 25-page technical memo
with the thing.  Strangely enough, the windows version load faster
and is easier to use than the SPARC version, mainly because one
doesn't need to reach for the mouse as often.  It took me a while,
but I think I can put docs out faster with FrameMaker than with
nroff/troff, the previous standard around here.  Now, if Frame
would just start supporting end notes...

Check out the Microsoft Download Services BBS (phone 206-936-6735 up to 9600

there is a ZIP file (sorry, I forgot the name) that contains updated

I am interested in hearing from people who have purchased WinFax Pro 2.0

I have had problems with, and am particularly interested in hearing from
people who have experienced similar problems:
. The modem not being answered properly (no carrier sent)
. Low resolution faxes being displayed and printed at 50% length
. Faxes printed from the Fax Image Viewer being printed with bands displaced
  vertically
. Incoming fax files being named improperly (named with 3 digit number instead
  of 7 digit number)

For the record, I have been told that my problems are caused by the fax/modem

I appreciate any assistance.

It depends on what is the "slow" part about Windows.  If the screen
updates are slow, such as you spend a lot of time scrolling around
documents, then the faster video card should do the trick.  If you are
trying to do lots of multitasking and background task switching, then
more memory will speed it up.

Date: 3 Sep 92 15:30:05 GMT
Followup-To: comp.os.ms-windows.misc
Organization: Delft University of Technology

I have released version 3.30 of AppBar to

CICA (ftp.cica.indiana.edu),
ph.tn.tudelft.nl,
and garbo.uwasa.fi.


AppBar is an icon-based program launcher.

In AppBar 3.30 the following things are new,
- ParamsXX= specify a optional parameter (DataFiles or StartUpParameters) 
  given to a launched program. 
- SoundDirectory= specifies the default directory for the sound file browser.
- AppBar supports multiple file Drag&Drop from the FileManager now. (It will 
  launch a new instance of the buttonprogram for each file from the 
  dropped filelist)
- added QuickLoad button to quickly setup AppBar with drag&drop and to copy 
  buttonsettings to other buttons. 
- added Run button, to launch program from a commandline.
- added Maximum Size option (ShowModeXX = 3), to start program as large as 
  possible, with leaving AppBar visible.
- added dialogbox asking to save current position after moving AppBar.
- improved close function, closing program can ask for saving data first 
  before terminating. (Thanks to Erkki Riekkola for providing crucial source).
- added new AppBar utility AppMore, which can launch different programs in 
  different instances.
- added Tip for AppBar, a trashcan utility, written by Bernt Ribbum.
- increased maximum of buttons to 48.
- made AppBar restartable when it is Shell.
- AppBar will execute options given to win.com when it is Shell.
- Added minimize button. When AppBar is minimized just doubleclick on icon 
  to restore AppBar.
- abandoned difficult Buttons/Columns settings. Now blank buttons are added 
  to get enough buttons for the specified number of Columns.

Ware?
This Software is UserWare, no registration, no nothing, just a program to 
increase the joy of using Windows. 


Thanks?
My thanks for testing, debugging, and improving AppBar goes to:
Eric A. Rohy, for testing AppBar 3.14159 and 3.20,
