	Actually this *is* the case.  There is the normal VGA output through
its 15 pin connector, but this is *not* connected to the VB card.  The VGA
feature connector is used to feed *digital* data to the VB card, which has
duplicated the VGA's 256 DAC registers.  You are correct in that the two
signals are mixed on an analog basis and that the monitor is connected to
the VB card.

	The VB card does indeed use chroma keying, but magenta is probably
just the default key color, as it can use *any* of 256 keys (and I say 'keys'
because the value is 0 to 255 and is the index into the DAC registers, each
of which can hold one of 2 to the 18th colors (6 bit RGB triplets)).

	Not exactly, see above.

	No, you must either disable memory above 15 MB (with switch or jumper
settings) or physically remove it.  The VB card needs a 1 MB frame buffer that
resides above system memory.  This frame buffer also needs to be mapped into
a memory space less than 16 MB because of the DMA limitation.

I don't know if this will do it or not, but there is a shareware
release of an editing program that, among other things, allows you to
edit toolbar buttons.  I don't know if it means you can add them or
not.  I believe I got it from wuarchive in msdos/windows(or pc/win3, I

You could scan for "wopr" through archie and find it.

Check out the README.TXT file that came with Access. There is an
article entitled "Topics Supported by Access as a DDE Server."
The DDE support is quite complete, IMO; it even supports SQL
statements via DDE.

Subject: How to get hard carriage returns in text
Distribution: world
Date: 17 Dec 92 15:36:42 EST
Organization: Fabbian G. Dufoe, III

   Is there a way to produce text files with a carriage return at the end of
each line (without pressing the "Enter" key each time) with Notepad, Write,
or Works for Windows?  I'm trying to use one of those editors for writing
mail messages to be sent on a system that has a limited line length (GEnie).
I'd like to be able to type my messages without worrying about format, then
save the files in such a way that each displayed line had a carriage return
at then end.  I haven't found a way to do that with any of the three
programs.  I'd even accept a method for replacing the end of the display
line with a carriage return using search-and-replace, but there doesn't seem
to be any special end-of-display-line character for which to search.

   Any suggestions would be appreciated, either posted here or emailed.

The group best suited for this topic is probably comp.protocols.nfs ... one of

Sometime in the last two weeks he basically said "stay tuned" for imminent

How do you paste a selection or Word for Windows file into another app such
as CorelDraw, CorelShow (v3.0), or PowerPoint (v2.0)???  When we do this, all
we get is the Word logo.  They are importing the "picture" type from the
clipboard.  But even a file import doesn't work.  I can't even paste the text
into Paintbrush.  The apps all say they can do it in so many words.  

I would prefer to be able to import/paste in an entire W4W document, but cut
and paste would be handy also.  

This is Word for Windows v2.0a, CorelDRAW 3, PowerPoint 2.0, MS Windows v3.1,
and the machines we've tried it on range from a 286-16 Hercules, to 386-33
with 16MB RAM, 1024x768 video, etc.  

Any info you can give would be helpful.  Is this a bug in W4W that is fixed
in 2.0b/2.0c?

Make sure that you have a permanent swap file, not a temporary one.
You can find out in Control Panel, 386 Enhanced, Virtual Memory.

Having a large temporary swap file will slow things down greatly.

Good luck!

     Part of this is the different tax systems.  In the US taxes are paid as
corporate income taxes when the product is made.  The VAT is added when the 
product is sold.  This means that software from the US is taxed twice. 
Software from Europe sold in the US is not taxed as much.  The VAT is refunded
and no income tax is paid.  This is one reason that we have a problem with
import goods in the US.  Import goods have an unfair tax advantage.

Installed about a week ago and used extensively.  Terrific product,
worth the money.

The bbbuilt-in Caere Any-Fax OCR technology is good, better than you
would suspect - but, of course, it isn't a full blown robust, 98.6%
accurate subsystem, for which you would have to pay MUCH more. But
acceptable.  It beat CatchWord Pro that Logitech bundles with
their handscanner on the same TIFF.

Other features: extensive document management, 25x compressed faxes,
four/page fax printing (great!), annotation layers (save as layer or
merge with raster), much better cover page support (including OLE),
more internal variables that can be referenced on ID line or in cover
page.  Better overall control window with icon buttons and fast switch
to logs and viewer, etc. etc.

Great product

Hi there,
	Can anyone tell me what is NCD phone number (for PC-XView).
And do you know how much does it cost? with the 'Xremote' unix end?
Thanks.
