-------------------------
In one of my periodic calls to MS, I was notified of the W4W 2.0a update.
It is free to registered licensees of W4W 2.0.  It contains a number of
bug fixes in some (presumably) esoteric areas.  MS apparently assumes
that if you encounter a problem in one of these areas, you'll call for
support and they'll send you the update.  I've detected some increased
performance, better font handling, and better error recovery... but I'd
be hard-pressed to be more focused.  Hope this helps.

W4W 1.1x had a problem of not recognizing the fonts immediately once
they are installed.  You might try either:

a.  Selecting printer setup from the file menu, click setup, and ok back
out.  This forces word to read the win.ini file for the fonts.

b.  While word is not running, rename the winword.ini file, and then
    start up word again.  This will also force word to re-read the win.
    ini file.

Good luck.

ZipManager has _never_ worked for me even in 3.0, or rather it has always
performed as you just described.  It pops up a little black window with
nothing in it for about half a second, and then goes back to the ZM menu
window.  No messages, no indication that anything has happened, just no
unzipped files.

Now I do have a serious question:
I assume that win 31 has again an opening screen probably with WINDOWS 3.1 on it
Did microsoft manage to make it easier to change this screen to your own logo,
or will we have to modify win.com once again? After I found finally a program
to create RLE-files, will it still be useful to change the MS-logo?
And how many redundant programs will we receive this time?
If anybody would post it to the list, maybe some more users will benefit from
knowing what is coming upon them.

TIA, Alfred (Thanks In Advance)

Renaming the startup group in Win3.1 in order to go to Program Manager is a
good idea. As usual with Windows, there is a much easier way, however. While
Windows is loading and the Microsoft logo is on the screen, simply hold down
the shift key. Windows 3.1 will ignore the startup group and go to Program
Manager....Mike

X-Bytes: 

All--


	I have the new word for windows 2.0a and I have been running into  
several problems recently.

        The first:  When I click on the full page view (not the print preview)  
the margins are never displayed correctly.  The words always disappear off the  
right hand margin.  All the other views show the margins in their correct  
places.  The print preview is the only thing that I can use to view a full page  
and make it represent what it would look like printed out.

	The second:  I have been running into a number of page numbering  
problems.  The first is that if I erase the number on one page, all other page  
numbers are deleted too.  The second was when I added an 8th page to an  
existing document, it gave me an error something like "Word for Windows  
encountered an unrecoverable write error in indows".  This error didn't cause  
any problems and I was able to continue to additional pagers and print out the  
rest of the paper without problems.

	Any help with these errors would greatly be appreciated.

Subject:      Stacker 2.0 UAE's windows 3.0

Hi, Netters,

    Help!

    I just bought Stacker 2.0 and installed on my 486 computer with 85
MB hard disk. DOS programs seem to be fine, but when  I run windows
3.0 programs, most of them gave me UAE (unrecoverable application
error) right after flash the program menu, even including  built in
windows program like PaintBrush, Write etc.  While those programs were
running fine before the stacker installation.

    My partition of the hard disk is as follows: 20MB
unstacked, i.e. uncompressed, and the rest stacked. The windows
programs including applications are on the stacked drive while
temporary swapfile are put on the unstacked drive by adding a line in
the file system.ini under [386Ens] section as
    PageDrive=D
    where D is the unstacked drive, which supposedly should solve
Windows compatibility problem.
    I also tried install a permanent swapfile (6MB) in the unstacked
drive. I didn't help either.

    Any suggestion are heartily appreciated.

Hi,
 You must be looking for the Archie file database server?  If so, it
is not a program that you can get but a service.  To use it, just telnet
to one of the following sites:
   archie.sura.net
   archie.unl.edu
   archie.rutgers.edu
   archie.ans.net
 And enter archie for the userid.  Try it, you wont know how you got along
without it.  I use it to find out where to find certain programs.

Calling yields the most obnoxious message I have ever heard from an

But that message is just too much.  Call the number and see for yourself.

I just got a Gateway 486/33 in Thursday and have been perplexed by the
Ultra crystal fonts while in Win 3.0.

I have the new 1572FS (15") monitor they offer and the desktop and icons
seem blurry in 1024X768 mode.  The whole desktop is much smaller than in
other modes.   When I run it a regular VGA (640X480), clearness and the
normal desktop size are fine.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Galen.

I installed a Diamond Stealth VRAM about two weeks ago and have noticed dr
dramatic improvements in screen refresh, particularly during scrolling in
applications such a Word for Windows. I can now page through a large W4W
document without the annoying "wait". The real test came when I was doing
some graphics work with in Logitech's Fototouch. I can now grab a 256 gray-
scale image at 400 dpi and move it around my screen in "real" time. I was
amazed. Previously, I spent at least 5 seconds for a screen refresh for some
of the larger images. I realize that these aren't objective benchmark
statements, but I am sure you will recognize some noticeable improvements
in the applications you use on a daily basis.

netters:

   I FTP'd these files from Jim and uploaded them to "GARBO.UWASA.FI"

   I put the files in the UPLOADS area.
