Subject: Aldus Freehand & TrueType.

Organization: Vooniersity fo Kaiwato

Hi all,

Recently, my sister-in-law purchased a copy of Aldus Freehand to run under
Microsoft Windows.  However, it seems that Freehand doesn't know anything
about Windows 3.1's TrueType fonts (which is a pity, since I could give her
heaps of PD TrueType fonts from the Mac).

Freehand comes with Adobe Type Manager, so I've got her a heap of Type1s.
However, I would like to know whether anyone has heard of an update to
Aldus Freehand which recognizes TrueType.

Why do you want to unload it? It works equally well for DOS apps. The only
time I disable smartdrv on a drive is to run Norton's Speed Disk (de-fragment
the drive), then I turn it back on. This can be done with command line options
as described in the Windows 3.1 book, on a drive by drive basis (you could
disable all drives with a bat file).

Otherwise, the only option is to REM it out of Config.sys and re-boot.

Hi

I am looking into buying a computer for our lab.  In particular:
486-33MHz
4M RAM
120M Hard drive
64k Cashe
Two floppies
2 s, 1 p
SVGA w/o acceleratr chip on card.  1Meg.
DOS 5.0, Windows 3.1 and a mouse.
101 key keyboard.

I can get this system from either Dell or Gateway 2000 for a somewhat
higher price $ 2350.  Other companies offered me better prices, such
as:

Centrix  $1795
ABS      $1747
Compu.sys $1675
HD Computers $1695

These companies are not as well known as the previous ones.  I would
like to know if I am sacrificing quality or service by getting the 
system from the cheaper place.  This system is going to Purdue
University and they are not used to dealing with other than Dell,.. etc.

I appreciate your help very much.  Thanks in advance.

Rana.

  I prefer DR DOS 6.0. It has a "disk-doubler" (SuperStor), a better
memory manager, a better cache and a lot of other goodies which MS-DOS
5.0 does not have or which are more complete than the MS-DOS versions.
Just ask the sales person to show you the main manual. Somewhat in the
beginning there is a section on what's new since DR DOS 5.0 which
basically is a competitive analysis of MS-DOS 5.0.

No specific info, but perhaps MS & PN figured that if they can sucker
so many people into paying $$ for long overdue fixes, minor upgrades,
and renaming the UAE; that they could possibly do the same with some
of their other products. For a +0.1 level upgrade they got tons of
moola, so now they want to see how many long standing customers will
fork out more for a +0.01 upgrade (like they plan on there being a
MS-DOS 5.99)?  ;-)   rc

I can't see how this is possible.  I can see how recompiling stuff for
32-bit *might* make it up to twice as fast, but not 4 times as fast. Please
justify this.  I, myself, have ported DFLAT (the text mode user
interface lib from Dr. Dobb's Journal) and it's sample application,
to 32-bit extended dos and have noticed no speed increase at all.
And this code is full of far pointers.  I have seen some small, tight
programs (gif decoder code) that does not benefit at all from
32-bit.  The pointers are all near and the words used are all 16bit, and
there is no reason to make them 32-bit.  From my experience, the 
advantages of having 32 bits are more in the form of having a large
flat address space, and much less in the form of more speed.

Thats not right is it?

The 486 has different timings (via clock cycles) and there for runs faster
(not by much) than a 386. Also there are some newer functions on the 486
(albeit partially useless ones). However i would stay away from an SX,
because if you want the co-pro. part, Don't you have to buy a chip which
is in fact a '486 which disable your SX chip?

 Well obviously he didn't... When installing anything in a PC, it's wise
not to screw cover back on until _after_ you get everything working
correctly. :-)

 And I also don't think it's too difficult to install memory. It took me
all of 5 minutes last time...

What are the major differences between

I can get either one for the same price with 
exactly the same extras.

Which one is better, faster, or whatever.

The SX only has a 16 bit data bus, though it does run 32 bit internally. You
can't use 32 bit cards (ie memory cards etc) in a 386SX. The SX will also run
slower. Eg a friend's 386SX 16 runs not much faster at all than my 286 12.

Did you know that your old PC can get a second life?	LOGOS Biblical Training
International is now accepting contributions from everyone who cares about
technical education in countries of CIS.  We take your 8088 or slow AT that
hardly have any use in US anymore and donate it to russian christian or general
education school.

Many have heard that computer education in former Soviet Union is awful.  As a
russian exchange student, I can confirm it.  In fact, most high school
programming is taught on what we call "paper computers" (grader executing the
program in their head)!  Others are using toys similar to Commodore.  Even
university students are forced to learn FORTRAN and COBOL on hopelessly obsolete
Hewlett Packard and IBM dinosaurs (i.e. pirated clones).

Since high schools and universities are still exclusively state-(un)supported,
situation is not going to improve soon. Broke government is not going to make a
difference. Will you?

We hope that the mission of LOGOS can help building technical bases for
spiritual ressuraction of Russia. All contributions to LOGOS are fully
tax-deductable.

LOGOS accepts computers, printers, motherboards, hard drives, memory chips etc.
We are primarily interested in IBM series (8MHz XT or better) and MACs.  All
equipment should be functional and in reasonably good shape.  Shipment fee will
be paied by us.  If you have a fast PC (like 386) and want to get SOME
compensation for your contribution, you are welcomed to contact us.  However, we
can't pay full market price.

Which compiler options do you use ? CL defaults to /AS, the small memory
model. In small memory model, code and data (=data,  heap, stack) get 
different segments, which can't exceed 64k.
Try using large or huge memory models (option /AL or /AH).
BTW, online help should also clarify this error message.

Subject: Listing of printer codes?

Howdy,

I need to be able to send printer codes to the printer to change the
printer's configuration, such as switch to compressed print, change
orientation (on a laser printer), etc.  I generally do not have the
printer's manual, so I was wondering if there was a listing of printer
codes for various makes of printers.  I have checked the wustl
archives and various FAQs, but I didn't see anything appropriate.

If you know of a commercial or public source of such information, I
would appreciate hearing about it.  Thank you.

So long,
JR

  You have probably one or more (large?) files which have the System
and/or Hidden attribute set. I think that Norton's SD just plays it safe
and assumes that files with these attributes *may* be unmovable, so it
won't move them.

  Look at the attributes with one of the other Norton Utilities (I
forgot the name. I mainly use PC Tools' PCSHELL for this.).

  Just wondering: Isn't this in the manual, which you of course have? :-)
