	I think first you've to unmount the stacker drive. Follow the
	steps (assuming c is stacked and d is unstacked):
	- unmount by typing d:\stacker> stacker -c:
	- remove attributes of the stacked volume by typing
	  sattrib -r -h -s d:\stacvol.dsk
	- now run speed disk   sd d:
	- reboot
	- run windows and create swapfile.

	Hope this help. (use at own risk).

I've noticed that the DOS windows in 3.1 are considerably darker than
those I had in 3.0.  Also, some character attributes appear to be
mapped stangely, resulting in wierd colors/flashing/inverted
characters a very few DOS applications.  Is this something related to
my ET4000 1024x768x256 drivers (ET4-W31.ZIP from cica)?  Most every
driver I try exhibits the same effect... very annoying for the
DOS-based 3270 emulator that I use for work.  It's unalterable dark
blue characters are nearly invisible with the darkening effect in 3.1.

You might wish to look for the small package cmpskit.zip on some ftp server.
It gives you an application-independent compose key with which you can 
combine all non-ASCII characters of the Windows3.0 character set from 
a sequence of the configurable compose key and two more keystrokes. 
Hopefully an extended version which also supplies the characters added

I am running a non-Windows application (actually it's Quattro Pro) which
can use EMS expanded memory.  On a 386 machine, Windows provides its own
EMS emulation, so all works well.

However, at the same time I want to install EMM386 to move some TSR's into
high memory.  I don't want to waste 64K on an EMS page frame, so I use
the NOEMS option.  This seems to have the unfortunate side-effect of
switching off Windows' own EMS emulation.  Is there any way round this, or
have I misunderstood the whole problem?

I have a 486 with the Trident 8900c (1Mb), and I have installed _ALL_
the trident drivers (and the standard windows vga drivers) at one time
or another while benchmarking my system, and I have _NEVER_ had any
problems :-). My monitor is an AOC 14" interlaced type. I currently
have installed a beta version of the trident 800x600x256 driver (I only
put it on two nights ago, so it is early days - but it seems fine).
I think that the 800x600x256 driver is the best compromise for my
system, as 1024x768x256 is too small to use for any length of time,
especially on my monitor. (I like 256 colour bitmaps for windows
wallpaper!)

I do not agree. I have a 1MB card (Trident) and still have the same problem.
I can use Trident W3.0 disk and install 800X600 256 color driver. But

  The ET4000 is not a "windows accelerator". It's a rather fast bitmap
controller chip. True accelerators implement some of the Windows oper-
ations in the controller, rather than by having the driver move the
data "by hand". Some of the more common operations are scrolling, block
copy (bitblt), etc.

  While the ET4000 does allow simple bitblt's, I don't know of any Win
driver that takes advantage of this.

  An accelerator can be lots faster for some operations (as noted, the
scroll and windows drag are some of the most improved). The "S3" is a
common accelerator. However, it's amazingly difficult to get an S3 to
manage more than 256 colors in modes beyond 640x480. The ET4000 when
equipped with the maximum of 2Mb of display memory can do 24-bit color
at lower resolutions (800x600, and _slow_) or it can do 64K colors at 
1024x768 without a RAMDAC/HIcolor DAC, but using a "normal" 5/5/6 DAC.
Of course, that makes it sufficiently different from "normal" VGA that
it would need VGA pass-through for regular use, and would be slow enough
that it would probably lose out in the marketplace. There are also other
accelerators which are more costly than the S3, ranging from other sin-
gle-chip units through TI TMS32xxx subsystems.

  The whole point of putting the processing power on the card is because
the bandwidth between the 80X86 and the video is slow. Local bus video
may reverse this trend. I've seen a number of high-end RISC boxes with
"dumb frame buffers" that substantially out-perform video coprocessors.

I had the same problem and found the same situation... you can't have both
expanded memory managers running at the same time. Some people said:"Buy QEMM
(or some other EMM)" but I found that by including upper memory areas which
EMM386.EXE missed I could load lots of TSRs high even with the 64K page frame.

I used:   device=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM i=b000-b777 i=e000-efff M9

This added 96K of upper memory and the M9 switch put the 64K page frame at
e000-efff so I had 32K more than before which was enough for my needs. Putting
the page frame at "the end" of upper memory maximized the size of contiguous
memory which was helpful because at one point I had 32K of UMBs free and a 19K
driver I wanted to load high but the UMB was split 17/15 and useless for me.

My 2 pennies worth.

Organization: International Business Machines, Cleveland, Ohio, USA


I just upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 and, like so many others, I'm
experiencing difficulties with more than two COM ports being active
at once. 

My setup:
Gateway 486/33 ISA-bus

IRQ 4	03F8	COM1 (serial mouse)
IRQ 3	02F8	COM2 (external modem)
IRQ 5	02E8	COM4 (internal data/fax modem card)
IRQ 2		Sound Blaster Pro (default addr/dma).

Under this configuration, COM2 works under any circumstance but
accessing COM4 with a DOS app causes my mouse pointer to freeze until
I restart Windows.  The mouse pointer freezes sometimes after I
connect and get a few characters across my screen, other times as soon
as the port is opened.  Note this only occurs when I access COM4 with
a DOS app (namely Telix 3.15); accessing COM4 with the Terminal app
included with Windows causes no problems.

I've setup all the ports with the correct interrupts and base
addresses in both Windows and Telix...  All of this worked fine under
Windows 3.0.  I tried IRQ 7 with the SBPro and it made no difference.
In fact, removing the SBPro temporarily made no difference.  
Any ideas?  Should I switch to OS/2 2.0? (no flames, note Organization).

Thanks,

The UN*X side, of course! (;-)) 
Ask your sysadmin, whether there is an entry for the terminal type
"vt100" in the proper configuration file. Are there any VT100's hooked
to the UN*X-machine you're trying to access?
You might have to change your .login or .cshrc on the UN*X-machine to
set the terminal type explicitely. (.cshrc only if you're using
c-shell).

Subject: Stacker, Windows, Swapfile, & Defrag
Organization: University of Western Ontario
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 1992 14:23:55 GMT

Hi,

I have a question regarding Stacker and the Windows 3.1 permanent swapfile
and I hope someone can help.

When I originally installed Stacker I left enough room on the unstacked
portion of my hard disk for a 6M permanent swapfile for Windows. Recently
I had to install more files on the unstacked portion and I had to remove
the swapfile to do so. Later, after deleting many of these files, I tried
reinstall the swapfile. Even though the unstacked portion of my hard disk
is now LARGER than it was before, Windows will not allow me to create the
same 6M swapfile.

I think the problem is that the files left on the unstacked portion of my
hard drive have left insufficient contiguous space to recreate the 6M
permanent swapfile.

Stacker's SDEFRAG utility will defragment the stacked drive, but will not
operate on the unstacked portion. Norton's SPEED DISK won't stop with the
small, unstacked portion of my hard drive and is a no-no with Stacker.

So, my question is how can I defragment the files on the unstacked portion
of my hard drive only, and leave the stacked portion alone?

Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Danny

A way to defragment the uncompressed part of a compressed disk:

Copy everything away, delete everything (except the big file),
and copy it back.

This should work no matter which compression program is used.
Take care with files that need to be at a special place on your disk,
though.
          ..at your own risk,
