I couldn't believe it, so I tried it... Actually, I thought that the
problem might be caused by your using Program Manager as the shell,
but I have the same result using NDW as my shell.

I guess we need to tell Symantic about this... As it stands Sleeper is

G'Day Albert,

Intergraph is a large corporation which sells (amongst other things) a CAD/CAM
system called Intergraph which runs on (re-labeled) DEC equipment (I think).

hope this helps

Symantec sent a little pamphlet to all registered users of NDW 1.0. It
recommends putting all of your .dll and .exe files at the front of the disk
with SpeedDisk. I do this as a matter of practice now, just because they said
to, but I don't know whether it actually helps.

Any clues please?  I cannot solve this problem--I have Win 3.1,
Winword 2.0A, 386/33 and whereas I used to be able to import EPS
files in a given doc file or a new doc file, I cannot do so any
more.  Checked paths, even reinstalled Windows and WInword a
few times, including deleting all files before reinstalling. Did
a virus scan from a write-protected floppy, booted from a floppy
(in case there was a virus problem)--no virus.  Pushed in all
chips, in case it helped--it didn't.

Other symptoms: Losing clusters and scrambling FAT--either related
to my use of PC Tools Compress or Norton Speedisk or a BBS mailer
called d'Bridge (which is known for that problem).  No worries--just
reinstall WIndows and Winword--still cannot import EPS any more.
Sometimes I can't insert PCX or TIFF either.

Microsoft tech support couldn;t help other than to send a later
EPS import filter.

Another clue: sometimes a floppy drive is shown as "not ready".
Controller is an Ultrastor ESDI, and is my next suspect.  

To make it more interesting, I cannot import an EPS file on my
work PC either--also virus tested.  The software at home is not
a copy of the work PC software and very few of the software
packages are the same.  A colleague using a similar setup can
happily import EPS (remember, I used to be able to), and I have
even tried to import a given file (most of my EPSs are exported
from CorelDRAW) but no go.

Need lateral thinking advice!  Please email or post suggestions.
If the controller is the likely suspect, what component on it
might have become unstable?

Hi there,
	Could anyone help me with configuring MS Windows so that my dos

recognize it outside windows right now..... wonder what's wrong with
it.... I remembered someone talking about it some time back, but i do not
have enough old articles to find the previous posting. Also does anyone
know of any other SLIP programs other than cutcp that can run in windows
and looks like ncsa telnet in the sense that it can open multi sessions

slip and bootp.

Add the following lines to win.ini (you can find this info and more in the

IconTitleFaceName=whatever you want
IconTitleSize=what point size you want

I find that the Small Fonts typeface works well, as suggested in the Windows

Manager uses the icon font for its main window, and it makes it bold; this is
very unreadable in the Small Fonts face. Any fixes for this, other than
changing the icon font?

>Hmmm... Is that a recommendation?

I played around with PackRat 4.0 for about three or four hours.  From an
extremely cursory examination, it seemed solid enough in its capabilities;
but the interface had several, rather prominent non-Windows GUI features.
(File selection, for instance, had no file selection boxes -- one had to
type in the path of the file (and then on a line -- not in an editline
control.))  I wondered if the application hadn't been ported from
HyperCard... 

However, maybe PackRat 4.1 solves these problems.  I have yet to find an
effective PIM for Windows; I'm using DeskTop Set 3.0, and am used to it; it
has a better user interface than PackRat, but there are a number of
non-intuitive, non-Windows elements in it, as well; and the documentation is
horrid.  (Admittedly, I'm using PIMs for less rigorous activities than most
Rising Young Executives; I don't have it keeping daily appointments or
business contacts, etc.)  I'm just using it for keeping a lists of Tasks To
Do, an address book, and a collection of lists.

I removed ALL program groups under progman.  That way norton won't
have to resolve any associated icons during startup. Also NDW won't
save each groups' info if you have 'Save Configuration on Exit'
selected in the Configure/Preferences dialog box.

On my 486/50 with 8mb ram, 120mb disk system a plain win 3.1 & NDW
config takes ~20 seconds to load.

        I have been using WinFax Pro for about six weeks.  It works fine and is
easy to use for sending faxes.  I usually fax from Word for Windows.

        I haven't tried receiving a fax yet.  A disadvantage of WinFax is that
it does not have an OCR module to convert a received fax to an editable word
processor file.  Some of the newer windows fax packages do.  Don't know about
FAXit.  You can buy Calera FaxGrabber for about $100 to use with WinFax and
maybe Faxit if you want this capability.  Maybe you can find a modem bundled
with WinFax and FaxGrabber.

Even I had some problems printing envelopes on HP Laserjet II Series
printer from WFW 2.0.  First, it does not print the address exactly at the
center of the envelope, but at about one and half line height below the
correct place.  The only reference I found about envelopes in the manual
was that I can adjust some styles (mentioned as Envelope_something).  I
could not find those styles.  In fact, when I start with Tools->Create

Does anyone know a way to fix this?  Thanks for your help.

Windows virtualizes the COM ports, and it does not have a virtual 16550
driver.  I thought I had heard of a solution, but I do not recall it.

There is a SLIP packet driver that masquerades as ARP.  Look for the
