Subject: word for window / postcript problem
Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 00:00:30 GMT

I was printing something from w4w 2.0b and the fonts were
messed up on the second page, and then the rest of the 
document was not printed, except for a postcript error

offending command = MSTT31c26b
Error = nametype:undefined

I thought that this was a fluke, so I exported the
file to a text only, and then reloaded the text only, 
so there was no possibility of any hidden characters.
It happened again, so I printed the text only from an editor
and it worked fine. I assumed it was the printer at first
but then I got the same response from ghostscript.
any suggestions?

Hmmm.  I vaguely remember from my days running EDT under RSX on a PDP-11
that there was a way of choking the auto-repeat of cursor keys so you
didn't get buffer overrun problems like the one you're describing with
2.85.  Perhaps this isn't implemented in WinQVT/Net, or perhaps you host
didn't invoke it.

Does anyone out there have a better memory than me?

Use a SEQ field. Move the insertion point to where you want the number to 
appear, then insert a new field (Control-F9). Inside the brackets type "seq 
equation" (the word "equation" can be any useful term for a series, such as 
"figure", "table", etc.). WFW will now automatically number your equations 
in order (and will renumber if you move them around). Note: to see the 
numbers "View FieldCodes" will have to be unselected, otherwise you will see 
the codes and not the results (i.e. the numbers). Also, to update the 
numbers you will have to select the entire document, then press F9 (update 
field).

I suspect we are talking about different things.  The $69 is for the
'developer kit', which ONLY comes on CD-ROM (with a boot disk) and
most certainly DOES have the documentation on CD-ROM (only).  It also,
so far as I understand, includes all the Betas and the first 'real'
release.

The windows displayed "System Resources" is a bogus number to start with -- some
funky algorithm to produce a single number from a lot of information.  The info
above of memory and GDI is more accurate.  The high GDI usage is due to the 
Borland application framework stuff.  Since the dialogs and buttons are not pre
loaded into windows, they eat up a bunch of GDI.  This might seem bad, but I've
had no problems about running out of GDI.  (Now if windows would give you more 
than 64k for GDI...)

Memorywise, get 8 meg of memory.  At ~$25/meg, there is no excuse for running a
4 meg system under windows.

I seems just as zippy as 2.85 to me. Make sure you don't have smooth 
scrolling inadvertently turned on. I was experiencing slowness in the ftp
module at first, but that has disappeared. Yesterday during a session to 
CICA the scrolling in the ftp window was excellent, and I got transfer rates 
~17k/sec. Go figure.

You were wondering is Windows NT worth of $69 plus few dollars for a jump
to 16 MB memory ? I'm not sure about the price there, but in here I bought
first a CD-ROM drive (approximately $800 = FIM4000), then 8MB RAM ($280),
then a new display adapter (Tseng ET4000) and now I'm purchasing DDK and
October 1992 PreRelease. I already have a Jupy 1992 PreRelease, but as you
know, it has some bugs. Anyway, it's worth of it.

To the best of my memory Wordperfect for DOS is the only mainstream word

Hi

I have been asked to post this by a friend who does not have access to
the net.  Could anyone who can help please e-mail me?   

--------
I have designed an original and unusual font, which is based on the
Roman alphabet and includes the full extended character set as defined
by MS Windows.  I have a large software corporation interested in buying
it for one of their packages and have no idea what scale of payment
would be reasonable to expect.

Is there anyone who could give me specific advice on remuneration,
linked to: Copyright (eg what countries to allow and over what period);
royalties (should I expect this given the font is a small part of this
package).

How do I ensure that I am protected and can sell to more than one
company - or to non-software companies who deal in fonts (some publishers
are interested in the font too).

Toni Olivier

Thanks - if you know of a better place to make this sort of request that
would help too.

Tim

Hello out there?
I bought NDW 2.0 recently, hoping it would integrate the desktop functions.
Well it has and I love the viewer button on the Disk Drive windows.  However
the viewer cannot correctly view an XL 4.0 file while it can view XL3.0 and
Quattro Pro, files.   Symantec's tech help said that there are patches
available to read XL4.0,Corel Draw3.0 and a coulp other file formats that were
post released from NDW2.0.  Unfortunately, the Symantec fellow saidthat they
are available for downloading from Symantech and/or CompuServe.  Being a poor
grad student with internet (i.e. CICA or WUARCHIVE) capabilities, I have yet to
invest in a modem.

Does anybody have these patches for NDW and could they please send them to me
or download them to CICA or SIMTEL20?

	Quick question: Is it to possible to just "Cat" Windows Write files
together. I have about 200 files that I need to convert to PS. It would help to
decrease the number of files. Thanks in advance.
