When I attempt to print out documents using ATM fonts
I get the following arror messages:

Offending Command = EAE3064C67 ... etc. (long string of hex numbers)
Error = nametype : limitcheck

Stack =

It appears like the FontCache hasn't enough room, but I feel this
is unlikely since the printer has a recommended VM of 1021K.

Anyone have this problem and solve it? By the way, I am printing
on a LaserJetIII with an HP PostScript cartridge.

Any suggestions are welcome.

One thing that you are quite right is that ANY windows application is
considerably slower than any DOS base app.s
I dare to suggest a reasonable platform would be a 386DX-33 with 4Mb RAM &
more important 1Mb VRam and a 11ms 170Mb HD (at least) because Windows 3.X
uses the disk very consistently even with the smartdrive on.

I personally have wordperfect for windows and MS-Word 2.0 for windows.
Considering Speed: Definitly MS-Word ( WP just promote their dos version to
                   windows base and things run too slow that way)
Considering Editing Power: Definitly MS-Word
Considering Functionality: WP is better in specific tasks depend on your 
                           requirements and type of work!
In Short both have the need to be improved in different areas. But MS-Word
seems to be a better, more userfriendly product!

Ami Pro is one of the few which worth serious consideration, in terms of it's
approach in incoorpating graphics within a document. But MS-Word integrated 
ms-excel and ms-draw to handle these aspects.

Within these 3 packages only WP will not give you a TRUE WYSISYG interface!
All 3, in my own experience, cannot provide instantaneous responds to editing
commands ( also depend on your machine speed, check by winspeed ) because of
their graphical nature.

So... Just hope the above might help!

I found version 2.7 in the uploads directory of the CICA mirror at monash
university. I presume that it will still be in the uploads directory at CICA.

However, if you use POPmail you probably should consider sticking with v2.6.

The mailer has been redesigned and is potentially much better. However, it
has one serious flaw.

The 2.7 mailer hangs if the file you are mailing does not end with a CR,
i.e if you don't press <RETURN> after the last line of your message.

It is easy to forget and if you forget, you have to reboot your PC and
kill the Pop3 daemon on your mail host in order to recover.

They have fixed the problem with terminal type when telnetting to a VAX.
It now uses VT220 if you specify it.

Pity, the keyboard mapping bug has not been fixed. You can assign a 40 char
string to a key, and all the chars are saved in the mapping file.
However, the next time you start QVTNET, only 20 chars are read from the
mapping file, thus stuffing the key mapping.

Note 62. in the release notes indicates that the size limit is 40 chars.
Surely a simple bug to fix.

<Jumping in with related question>

I've added W4W into the startup group of Norton Desktop for Windows and, although it does work, it acts peculiarly.

W4W will startup when I start my machine but when all the disk-thrashing is complete, I have W4W on the screen with the Quick-Access group overlaid. I can click anywhere in the W4W screen and Quick-Access disappears.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Hmmm.  Don't know about NDW, but I noticed that Win3.1 file manager does
this also, both during Disk Format and Disk Copy operations, and possibly
other time-consuming disk activities.  I don't know why it does this,
it is certainly not a _Windows_ limitation, I have both a Format and Disk
Copy Windows programs, and they both multi-task fairly well.  The
system does slow down a bit, but not enough to kill background file
downloads as is always the case with File Manager.  Dito if you use a
DOS command prompt.

Can anybody from MS tell me why WinFile blindly grabs control of the
system during these copy/format operations?

I have had the strangest problem with WP for Windows.... I find that I can't 
print anything to my HP IIP when I issue a print command from within a document
but I can when I print one of the help screens.  Printing works just fine 
when I use any other application.  I had no trouble printing before I 
installed DRDOS 6, yet no other application does this sort of thing.  By the
way, I use the windows drivers, not the built-in drivers so that I can take
advantage of the true-type fonts available to me.  Any suggestions on how to 
offset this problem?  I have an updated DR DOS 6 that works under Windows 3.1.

o click-once at the beginning point and click-once at the ending point

o save as above, but hold the control key down to constrain angles

Sounds like Draw! would have been top of the line a year ago!  But,
does it have layers?  Lack of layers is what my biggest gripe was about
Corel (the latest version has layers now). If it has layers Draw! may
just have another customer here.

The Microsoft TrueType Font Pack that they initially marketed with Windows and
is now (I think) available by itself has all of the PostScript fonts, including
 Palatino, under different names. The Palatino font is called Book Antiqua.
Compared to the Adobe Type 1 Palatino I was using before, Book Antiqua is pract
ically identical.

In ALAMANAC.INI which should be in your windows subdirectory, try:

ClockIcon=262

This seems to be the setting you want, no guarantees however.

Even on ISA, COM4 should be able to share IRQ3 with COM2 (I've shared

Worst case: buy a bus mouse and put _it_ on IRQ5, leaving 3&4 for your

Hey, dbFast is no more "their own" app than Clipper.  CA has been quite
acquisitive the last couple of years.  They don't have a single category

or so companies.

dbFast was available, so why not buy it and bill it as a temporary solution?
