I have played WingCommander 1.0 in a window on the WPS desktop.
I had full soundblaster support as well as joystick support.

The coolest part is that you can resize the window and OS/2 maps the
256 colors in WC to 16 (all my current drivers can support) on the fly.

I used DOS5.0 to load it high with no trouble at all. I'm pretty sure
that people were successfully using QEMM to load SmartDrive high during
beta testing, but I'm not sure exactly how they were doing it, sorry.

Not entirely a bug.  This was done on purpose, so that the clock will
remember its spot on the screen, and can always be, on top (in the foreground
of any win application, if you want.
The trade off was that you can only open it once.  However, the 3.0 clock
works fine in 3.1 and you may, if you want, run it as many times as you 
want.

	He says to install it on a machine running MS-DOS 5.0, and copy
the files to a machine running DR-DOS 6.0, and it would work fine , except for
a "harmless" error message on start up. However, this was probably a beta.
The same results could be obtained, I'm sure by installing it under MS-DOS 5.0,
then installing DR-DOS.

	The point is moot anyway, since DR has fixed the incompatability,
and will be shipping fixes later this month.

I use QEMM 6.01 and PC-Kwik Power Pak 2.1 (actually, the latest version is 2.12)
and the all seem to work together without a problem. You have to set the
extended memory option (/e) manualy, since PC-Kwik senses QEMM and sets itself
to expanded memory, unless told otherwise.
I found PC-Kwik better the any other cache program. The Benchmarks I tried
(PC-Magazine), showed very slight diffarences, but the ability to share memory
with a RAM-disk, a spooler and applications is something no other software
offers. With QEMM, it takes no convesional RAM.
With windows, you need to use the PCKWIN.SYS driver, which will make better
interface between Windows and PC-Kwik. I will allow to share memory with any
application (windows or DOS), while as far as I could tell, smartdrv will
only share memory with windows.

Subject: Windows 3.1 vs. UNIX & ESDI
Organization: Molecular Simulations, Inc.
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 1992 22:45:38 GMT

Hello!  While installing Windows 3.1, Setup gave me an information box
saying, "The partitioning scheme on your hard disk prohibits the creation
of a permanent swap file.  You may use a temporary swap file."  This was
funny, since Windows 3.0 never made any fuss about my partitioning scheme.
In any case, I was finally able to create a permanent swap file by using
Norton's Disk Editor to temporarily "hide" my UNIX partition, and then
patch it back in.  Now Windows uses a permanent swap file, and my UNIX
partition boots fine.  Does anyone know why it would complain about that?
Is there any danger in what I've done?

Also, I'm using an Ultrastor 12F ISA ESDI controller with a Maxtor 4380
320 MB ESDI drive.  The Control Panel refuses to let me choose 32-bit disk
access.  Does anyone know why?  Is there a work-around?

So far, 3.1 seems about three orders of magnitude faster than 3.0, and
SuperVGA support works great!  The new SMARTDRV screams!

While working happily along with the new smartdrv windows supplies with

This wouldn't bother me except for the fact that whenever I go to access
the hard disk while this "hidden" activity is occurring I get a general

seem to light up while this hidden access is occuring.  

Any clues anyone?

I've been dealing with various copy "protection" schemes for too long from
a user standpoint.  I'll quote Boris Beizer on this point:

"Protection, any means used to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution of
software.  Copy protection schemes are based on the false premise that
programmers and designers (who have been at it for only a few years) can be
more effective at protecting the fruits of their labor than a legal system
which has been dealing with plagiarism for centuries.  Copy protection provides
an afternoon's entertainment to hackers and pirates but hours of grief and
frustration to buyers. Copy protection, as usually done, is the software
vendor's equivalent of shooting off one's own toe."

Software)" by Boris Beizer TAB books, 1988.

Here's what you should do:
1. unzip speak.exe a disk or a temporary directory
2. inside Windows, load Control Panel
3. choose Drivers/Add
4. Select "Unlisted or Updated Driver"
5. Type in the directory name where you put
   the driver

Also, if the sound is distorted, you might want to
disable all interrupts (by going to setup and uncheck

I was able to get a vga dos app (pcglobe) in a window but you have
to define working. In the .pif I gave it all of the proccessor, set 
the video memory to high and locked all required memory. I can't 
think of anything else to do except wait until a freind gets os/2.
I guess windows is still not ready for dos graphics. Any ideas???

I didn't use version 1.0, so I can't comment on the relative
performance.  However, even when set for maximum cmplexity I find the
performance very good (however, I am running AD on a fast 486).  At
least some of the modules (Aquatic realm, and a few others) can do 256
color support (and, I believe, hi-color support if you have the right
Win drivers).

I've had a number of unexplained crashes that *might* be due to AD 2.0,
although I haven't identified the problem yet.

I just read in the April 28, 1992 issue of PC Magazine that the clock
keeps track of its position and size in WIN.INI, so you can only have
one open at once to keep it from getting confused.  The benefit of
this is that the clock always comes up like you had it before.  Also,
if you need to, just rename the old Win3.0 clock to something else and
keep using it instead.  It works fine.
