Our VMS system automatically inquires to find out what type terminal you
are emulating.  It does not assume any terminal type.  Our SYLOGIN.COM
performs a SET TERM/INQUIRE.

Subject:      Instant screen savers

   I found a shortcut to PC Magazine last issue's tip about screen
savers. They explain that if you copy the *.SCR files in your Windows
directory as *.EXE and then run them with the /s parameter, you can
run any screen saver immediately.  I found an easier way:

  1. Find the line "Programs=com exe bat pif" in WIN.INI. You can use
Notepad or Sysedit.

  2. Add "scr". The line  should read: "Programs=com exe bat pif scr".

  3. Save WIN.INI.

  4. Go to File Manager and select all *.scr files in the Windows
directory.

  5. Drag them to the program group of your choice in Program Manager.

  6. Edit each item property by adding "/s" to the command line.

  Now all you have to do is double-click the saver of your choice.

  Have fun!

This editor has a macro recorder, supports multiple windows in the main window
much like Word, and I just opened a 250K document with 2 others open at the
same time. It doesn't have things like spell checker, thesaurus, or text wrap
around graphics that the high end word processors have but is a great
improvement over Notepad; and much faster.

There is an app called Hider (HIDER10.ZIP) that when run on startup will

I've gotten Procomm Plus for Windows to work on a VAX, but not without some
tweaking (e.g., had to reassign some keys) and not without some on-going
problems (e.g., with emulations greater than VT100, there seems to be no local
printer).

No, that's the way it's supposed to work. The RFCs for POP provide only for
a mail repository for sending mail to clients, not for receiving mail from
clients. It's the server software that's being troublesome, not WinQVT/Net.

Popper, from Berkeley (lilac.berkeley.edu) is supposed to contain extensions
to the standard pop that allows transmission of mail from the client as well.
I've been playing around with popper myself, but I'm no expert, so it'll take
me a while to get it working...

The other thing the photocopying will do to help is fuse some of the dots

time since I did anything real /c a scanner/OCR, but we used to
take dot-matrix output and photocopy it to fuse the dots.

It looks like the driver is the problem here.  Usually when the Stealth driver
does something goofy I can check it out by substituting the standard VGA
driver for the Stealth driver.  My jumpy mouse pointer calmed down
considerably when I substituted the standard VGA driver, so the driver must be
my problem.

As an aside, let this be a warning to those of you trying to speed up your
video performance using the Diamond Stealth VRAM.  You'll get much better
performance, but you'll have to suffer through the little quirks.  Mine, for
example, lets me enjoy the infamous jumpy mouse pointer explained above,
inexplicably turns off line-wrap in my terminal emulation package (I have
to manually click it back on each time it's invoked) and forces me to invoke
windows in enhanced mode in order to perform certain functions in Word for
Windows without General Protection Faults.

A couple of months back I wrote the folks at Diamond a very polite letter
about the problems I've had with their product.  I got _no_ response.  When I
initially encountered some of these problems with the previous version of
their video driver, I contacted their tech support by phone.  They told me
that the problems I encountered _may_ be fixed in a future release.  So far,
they haven't been.

Caveat emptor!

I received driers for Windows 3.1 with mine, so had no problem. However,
mine came with German language drivers, whereas I work in English.
So I replaced them with English drivers that I found on CICA. You
could get these.

If you can do the FTP thing, then let me know direct and I can
look up the directory. They are on CICA, but I got them off the

The problem can probably be avoided by always specifying the drive type.

Hello,

  I mentionned before a problem of garbadge printing on a laserjet III
true type fonts (LJIII on the net).
There is serveral problems.

In fact win3.1 manage networks printers on another way than 3.0. In
3.0 we were obliged to capture under dos with a long time out
and a byte stream config. Now it is completely different. You are not
oblige to capture before since it is done by windows and a job config
is not necessary. As written in wrk you SHOULD AVOID TIME-OUT as
the printman generate an endcap.
2) There is a bug in pserver.nlm under 3.11 you should get pserver
1.22 you can get it at splicer.cba.hawaii.edu in /novell/util/psrv122.zip

Concerning true type fonts desapearing under W4W2 and some weird things
i recommend to get W4W2.a . I have a doc file which cause a fatal error..
A printing problem with Excel3/LJIII/win31 (charge letter) was solved
updating to Excel4

Hope this helps  Dominique

The calendering/scheduling package is quite impressive and I wish our campus

since I've been able to test on just one machine at a time.  I have heard other

give Novell a run for the money and actually replace it in small work groups.
We'll see if Novell Lite forms into something different.

Run Control Panel, Fonts.
Then Remove font Fence. Then add it - from windows/system directory (Plane Fenc
e).
It should work - you can try it in Character Map - will or will not be visible
some characters.

Try the same with another font from EE - MT (or TM) something.
I don't remember exact name, but - you normally cannot see anything in 'sample'

Subject:      Windows and LAN Manager

We are standardizing on LAN Manager and Windows on all our new machines
and on those existing machines which can sensibly handle this (ie only
386 and upwards). Our network people insist that for them to maintain
the setup, DOS must be in C:\DOS and Windows must be in C:\WINDOWS.

They will not install or support or install the network otherwise. This
is no real problem for new machines, but for our existing stock of
some 400 PC's there will be many where, in particular, Windows is
on some other drive or has a different directory name.

Are there any real good technical reasons for this insistence? Or is it
a case of a one time mainframe IT dept trying to regain an authorotative
position?

Send an e-mail to bitftp@pucc.bitnet with the following body :
FTP FTP.CICA.INDIANA.EDU UUENCODE
USER anonymous [your bitnet address here]
binary
dir
get [any stuff here][ie INDEX]
QUIT

You will get the files by e-mail in approx 50K Chunks. Your job to
patch things together & uudecode & unzip them
Hope this helps !
