Yes, you need to make a text file (initially empty) called NEWS.RC and put

I recently ran into something similar when switching motherboards.
The newer AMI bios allows for a setting (in the advanced CMOS setup)
of Decoupled Refresh Option.  If it is enabled, try setting it to
disabled.  This eliminated my problem with memory parity errors
completely.  My dealer suggested that with slower SIMMs - 70ns - it
may not be wise to set decoupled refresh to enabled.  You suffer a
slight performance hit, but not one noticeable with normal windows
operations.

Hey folks,

I have a question. I know that in Norton Utilities for dos you need to 
run speed disk outside of windows at the dos prompt. However, Norton
6.0 for windows is out.     It has speeddisk which is better than the dos
version and is supposedly set up to run within windows. 
However, does the same thing apply to norton4W speedisk? Should we
run it within windows, is it that different?

Thanks in advance

We have had a similar problem which we have thus far spent over a man
month trying to track down.

Our problem occurs when when out Windows app (TODAY for Windows) executes
a vanilla dos program via WinExec() which then proceeds to hang.  More
often than not pulling the task manager out of the desk top and "switching"
to the task will restart it.  This problem does not happen all of the time
but consistantly stops our regression suite and is thus, for us, is a major
headache.

Microsoft, through there Online Access support in Australia have been unable
to give us any usefull clues despite persistant effort on their part.

There are a number of factors that should have made this problem easy to
track.

1) We have four similarly configured boxes (all Zenith 486-25e, 12 to 16
Mb of ram, tiga or tseng video etc.) and the problem reliably occurs on
three of these boxes but not the fourth. (Mine ;-))

2) The problem is easily reproducible with the aid of our regression test
suite.  (It occurs on about the 15th test in the suite which is about 20
minutes in.)  N.B. The problem usually does not occur in any of the
preceeding or 40 or so following tests which also execute the same vanilla
dos app, often repeatedly.

3) The problem is manifested usually on the 4th invocation of the dos app
by the Windows app.

On this basis we have assumed that the problem is due to configuration/
environment and have systmatically tried to massage the environment of
one of the failing boxes towards the one that works.  We have managed to
make matters worse with this approach but have been unable to determine
a reliable workaround.  The box that works has 16 Mb of ram, a tiga
video card with 1Mb of processor and 1Mb of video memory.  It differs
from it's most similar rival only in terms of the memory on the video
card but as a consequence also in terms of the associated high res 
drivers.  (The extra memory for the tiga card has been ordered.)

Microsoft suggested using the Windows 3.1 ddk which has support for
debugging the dos box scheduler... we are awaiting its arrival.

The four boxes are connected via ethernet/Netware v3.11.

.... So if any of you Windows sleuths have any suggestions or for that
matter would like some more information.... go for it - I am all ears/
email.

The successful suggestion will be posted widely and its author duely
acknowledged.

close to desparation, daavid

The latest version of XVision is supposed to have the capability to

anyone used this feature?  Is it fast enough over a 9600+ bps modem?

There are a number of solutions.  First, If you are using Word on the Mac,
I suggest saving all your files in the RTF format (called interchange format on the Mac).  They are the easiest
to import into Word for Windows on the PC, and they retain all formatting.
Now, I hope your PC has a 1.44 Mb floppy dirve.  That is the key. 
There are two approaches:
1) Format a floppy on the PC for 1.44 Mb.  Take it to the Mac and use Apple
File Exchange to copy the RTF files
to the disk.  RTF files are pure ASCII files.  (Note: I forgot to say that your Mac better have a HDD (Superdrive)).
Carry the copied files to the PC and import them into WfW.  They will look fine.
The more matching fonts you hve on the PC the better the stuff looks.
2) Copy the RTF files to a Mac disk (it still must be HDD) and download
the utility DOS-MAC.ZIP (or similar name) that knows how to read a Mac
diskette on a DOS machine.  I have played with this utility and it works.

There is a third alternative that I use the most.  Connect both machines 
to an eithernet and use FTP software. I use WinQVT/NET on the PC (under 
Windows) and NCSA Telnet on the Mac.

Finally, you can connect their serial ports together with a null modem
and use KERMIT or similar program to move the data.

I have left out other unusual options, like buying an AppleTalk card for the
PC or a SCSI hard drive.

These approaches are only outlined above, let me know if you need more specifics.

I'm not a whiz, but had a similar need back in my office.  Solution:  I wrote
a C program that copied files for the individual whose name was passed
as a parameter (or default files if name was not found) from a special
\SYS directory into c:\config.sys and c:\autoexec.bat.  It would have
been a simple matter to add the windows.ini file to the process.

Saw your note, and having pulled a lot of my own hair out...

I'm a new PC/Win3.1 user myself, and do a lot of work on our workplace
VMS machines from home via modem. I too was being driven nutz trying to
use the PC keyboard with VMS keypad apps, like the EDT editor. 

Turns out, the Win3.1 TERM works very well, as long as you have your VMS 
host set up properly- yes, your problems are with the remote machine 
recognizing what your TERM is sending.

Here's my VAX/VMS setup:

SET TERM/EIGHTBIT
SET TERM/VT100
SET TERM/LINE_EDITING
SET TERM/APPLICATION_KEYPAD

it was the last command, that really opened things up for me. Now the 
keypad editor works as with a real VT terminal, except that PF1-PF4 from 
the VT100 are replaced by F1-F4 on the IBM keyboard. Nifty.

I've also been using Procomm 2.42, which is also very nice, and 
available from FTP sites (like WUARCHIVE.LUSTL.EDU). It does some things 
better, some not so well. The IBM keypad won't work, but there is a 
complicated mapping of shift/function keys which replace the VT100 keys; 
you have to look in the (EXTENSIVE) documentation. While the above 
SET TERM configuration works for VMS EDT, I found I still couldn't use 
the keypad for some VMS applications, whereas I can with Procomm (but 
using the function keys instead of the keypad).

Anyway, try the above with WinTERM, I think you'll be pleased.

Oh, you can IGNORE the SCROLL LOCK, I don't know why they say that in 
the help files and docs.... 

aloha.

PS- if you have any other tips on VT100/200/300/Tek4014 emulation, I'm 
not above learning something new...

	Sorry! I think I didn't answer the question in the above reply. The best
windows program that can handle "paste" to my opinion is Z-Soft Publishers'Paint
Brush. You can simutaneously display a reduce-sized duplicate by the side of the
scrollable window in which your big montage sit. Any change you make on the big 
image will be reflected on the small image instantly. Unfortunately, you can not
paste several 256-color image into a 256-color image (how many colors we have).
You still have to paste your gifs into a 24-bit image to get a good resolution.
At this point, having two big 24-bit image, unless you have a 486-50 and 16 Meg
RAM, the simutaneous scheme won't work. 
	After you finish your montage, you can reduce the color to 256 using the
same software. But the Paint Shop Pro will still give better result because the
236-color windows scheme mentioned above. By the way, the Paint Shop Pro is 
under a file named psp?.zip.

For the 24bit DAC Tseng labs card with 32,000 colours,
