Source quench 
time exceeded on packet

  Strange behavior.  I'm allowing people to FTP to my machine through
WinQVT.  In the console window I keep seeing "ICMP: Time exceeded on
packet" and "ICMP:Source Quench" messages.  One person said they got a
file with no problem.  But this morning, I watched as someone logged
in, started retrieving the file, then all these messages started
scrolling by.  The "time exceeded..." message pops up about 5-10 times
per minute.  Anyone have any clues as to what's happening?

Subject: Out of memory
Organization: Texas Instruments Electronic Communications
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1992 13:36:24 GMT

I run into sporadic memory problems with a variety of MS-Windows apps.
The symptoms are either a specific message that there's not enough memory,
or some program reports another program not found.  The latter is presumably
when a program failed to load, and a dependent program reported the prior
as missing.

I get the above symptoms with a mixture of Win3-0, Win-3-1, and DOS apps
under Win 3-1, with Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0 or Progman (from Win 3-1)
as my shell.  There is no consistancy.

The confounding conditions are that pulling down Help About shows that
there my memory is no where near exhausted (16 MB real, with 8 MB
permanent swapfile also), and Win Free Resources are almost always above
60%.

What's going on?  is it memory fragmentation bugs in Win 3-1?  
Are there tricks that well behaved products use at load/initialization,
and the rest of the world doesn't know about?

Thanks,
Richard Berke

Subject: A Q+E install question

   I was going to work with Q+E the first time last night, but only found
I could only logon to the SQL server.  So I ran the Excel setup program
to install the other drivers for Q+E.  The only problem was every time
setup installed about 69% of Q+E I received an "Out of disk space error
on drive B:\Windows\System\some.file".  The B disk is of course my floppy
disk.  I know I have plenty of space on my hard disk(around 2.7M before
installing Q+E), since setup said Q+E would take a little over 1 meg.
   Can anyone tell me what's going on here?  If I have to do the install
manually, what are the names of the drivers and where is the decompress
.EXE file?

This is not the job of the word processor, but the print driver.  All
you have to do is install a postscript device and change the settings
so that it prints to a file.  The go to Ami, change the current
printer to the postscript one, and print.  The Windows print driver
will ask for a destination file.  (All of this is documented in
Windows, not necessarily in Ami Pro.)

Actually, on my system, it does no such thing.  I have WPWin 4/92 and

Whatever the bug you are experiencing is, it is not quite what you

I'm currently telling the printer setup that I am printing on a 6.75 x 3.75
page (I'm really using 8.5 x 11) and then I cut the page down.

It seems wasteful to throw the rest of the page away and I was wondering if 
there was a utility to let me print more than one page on a sheet or that
will handle printouts for time management books ?

Thanks for any help !!

I recently upgraded to Windows 3.1.  I am using Microsoft Word
for Windows 2.0, Equation Editor 1.0 and trying to print to
a HP Laserjet II.

My problem is when I print equations that I made with the Equation
Editior. I am having trouble printing out the parentheses, brackets, 
integral signs, etc. 

I did have a Symbol pclfont installed that I had been using with
Windows 3.0.  The brackets etc. did not print out after upgrading
to Windows 3.1.  I thought the Symbol PCLfont might be conflicting
with the Symbol TrueType font so I removed the Symbol pclfont.  
When I did that the brackets etc.  printed out as WingDings 
TrueType font.  

I removed the WingDings TrueType font but now the brackets etc. print
out in Arial (Helvitica) TrueType font.

I then reinstalled the Symbol TrueType font but it still prints
out in Arial.

Did I configure something wrong and miss something obvious or is 
it the program?  I am out of ideas and open to suggestions.

I can confirm that CorelDraw 3.0 does let you paste bitmaps from the
clipboard into it, as well as vector graphic pictures. It also supports
OLE links with programs that support OLE, such as Word 2.0 and Excel 4.0.
I haven't experimented with the latter, but I have found that when I
bring in a vector graphic from the clipboard, and continue editting
(particularly if I resize the entire graphic), I run out of system
resources within 10-15 minutes. The only way to reclaim them is to
restart Windows. A real pain.

Please understand that I'm new to this IBM/Windows/DOS thing - I love Unix!

I had Windows 3.0, and installed the CorelDraw 3.0 CDROM bundle, and later
decided to move to Windows 3.1.  My wife was trying out CorelDraw, and she 
had a problem show up with not enough resources, or something like that.  
I have 16 MB of RAM in my machine, and this memory being gobbled up shouldn't 
have happened.  After poking around (I got this problem also, when getting 
Corel Draw up, and then trying to get W4W up.), I figured it had something to 
do with the printing option.

I had bought an NEC Silentwriter Model 95, and it came with some kind of 
printer spooler/controller package (For the life of me, I can't remember the
name of it).  Anyway, in calling Microsoft, I told them what I found, and they 
asked me right off if I was running any printer spoolers.  I said yes.  They 
asked me if I had XXX brand. Yes.  They told me to get it upgraded, as there
are some kind of hard coded addresses in it that do not correspond correctly 
with routines/memory addresses under Windows 3.1.  I ordered the upgrade, 
installed it, and it worked fine.  No more problems.  I wish I could remember 
the name.  I think it was PCPrint, or something like that.


>Can someone confirm that using version 3.0, screen images captured to

I haven't even used the clipboard yet.  I'll try to give it a try and report
back.  Like I said, I'm all new at this.

CMP>I've got a few questions on PC game ports:

CMP>Does anyone have the pinouts for a standard game port?
There are two joysticks A & B each with two open ended 100k pots and
each joystick is provided with a normally open pushbutton. The pinout is
as follows:
Pin Description  Joystick

1   +5Vdc        Joy A pot common
2   Button 4     Joy A button
3   Position 0   Joy A X pot pointer

12  Ground       Joy B button
13  Position 3   Joy B Y pot pointer
14  Button 7     nc
15  +5Vdc        nc


CMP>Can I write data to the game port or is it a read-only device?
The game port is contolled by an IN and OUT to and from address hex 201.
The OUT initiates the resistor timers and the IN is used to view the
time-out (TIME=24.2uS + 0.011(r)uS). I think if you want an output from
the game port you may see a voltage change on the potentiometers when
the OUT 201 code is sent, this depends on what type of one-shots they
use on the board (I do not have the schematic).
The IN 201 will yeild the following byte:
bit7  button B2
bit6  button B1
bit5  button A2
bit4  button A1
bit3  Co-ord BY
bit2  Co-ord BX
bit1  Co-ord AY
bit0  Co-ord AX


CMP>Can I use the +5V off the game port to power a few TTL chips and LEDs

I don't see why not. I have never used this port, the data above is from
the IBM technical reference manual.

Summary: Possible Bug in Borland 3.1??

Having attached an icon to my windows application,
it minimizes to the default blank white square.
However, clicking and dragging on it shows the 
skeletonized version of the icon. 

I'm using Borland's OWL interface, creating the gui with
the Resource Compiler, then generating code via Protogen.

My main window is a descendant of TDialog.  
I attach the icon to it by redefining GetWindowClass(), setting
the default registration attribute via
	hIcon = LoadIcon(hWindow, "IconName");

I see no difference with anything I've done, compared to
all the documentation, i.e., manuals, on-line examples, etc,
except that I have not seen an on-line example in which the
main window was a descendant of TDialog instead of TWindow.

Most likely the icon itself is not the problem, 
since it appears correctly elsewhere, for instance, 
as the program item icon, and when used in a dialog box. 

I've called both the free technical support (no help at all)
as well as the 1-900 $2/minute scam-line (who instructed me
to do things I had already done.)   This is my last resort.

Word Perfect claims that their own printer drivers have more capability 
than the Windows printer drivers, i.e. you can mix portrait and landscape 
modes in the same document. I have also noted that documents generated with 
WP for DOS will not always print out the same if the the Windows printer 
driver is used. The nice thing, though is that they did give you the option
of which driver you can use, and you can switch between them on the fly.

Dear reader,

We are using PC-NFS 4.0 on our systems just

login and logout while running Windows.
However, we have not figured out how
to get the login window just after
Windows has started.

We have tried using the Recorder, but

As the login screen is part of the

Any ideas?

Well a friend recently bought one of the cards and lo and behold, he

Help!

I seem to be locked out of my WinWord 2.0.

What happens is whenever I start Word, it starts and shows me the
welcome screen, but it then locks up.  When I press Ctrl+Alt+Del,
Windows 3.1 tells me that "the WINWORD.EXE file is not responding to
the system", so I have to close the application and continue.

I think I know the cause of the problem.  In my last session with
Word, I loaded the file EXAMPLES.DOC, a utility installer document.  From
this document I tried to install the SmartQuote utility.  It ran
throug the loading of several windows of some code, I guess it was the
Macro BASIC behind the SmartQuotes.  When I tried to quit Word it
asked if I wanted to save all Global command changes.  I answered yes.
But after the Status bar indicated that the saving was 100% complete,
the system froze and was told that "the application has stopped
responding to the system" when I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Sometimes, if I wait before pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, I'll get an error
message asking me to close the application.  When I comply and close
Word, I get a second error box, telling me that "a General Protection
fault has occured in module WINWORD.EXE, at xxxx:xxxx" (the X's
represent what I think is a hexidecimal memory address.  I forgot what
it was, but if it was important I'll find out.

If anyone knows what's going wrong I would appreciate it if you could
respond to me by e-mail, since I am unlikely to read a posted response.
