I have the same problem with the Citizen 200GX printer.  I'd like to
be able to force the printer into bidirectional mode when printing from 
Notebook, for example.

One of the many 'powers that be' around here has taken a liking to the
WordPerfect approach to marking document revisions where deletions
are struck out and additions are shaded.  

Word comes close if you have 'mark revisions' set on, but if you want to
compare two versions of an existing document Word will only highlight the
changes on a paragraph by paragraph basis.  It doesn't highlight the actual
changes, it just marks the paragraph as changed.

My question is (a) has anyone thrown together a macro to do revision
highlighting in W4W (speed isn't and issue), or (2) can anyone point me
to a third package that can compare and add the highlighting to existing
documents (cost within reason isn't an issue).

BTW, I do know that AmiPro will handle this just fine but I'd like to
stick to Word for now.

Thanks!

Don't count on the P5 Pentium fitting into any 486 box.  Intel will no doubt
market a damaged version (like the 486sx) which will plug in but the performance
WILL NOT be nearly as good as that of a system designed with the pentium in
mind.  I hate to see peoples hopes up.

Yes, I originally had an Aamazing video card.  It was one of their
cheaper ones, around $35 and came with 256K, in May 1992.

 Piece of trash.  The card immediately started scrambling my displays,
throwing trash all over the screen.  I brought it back to my dealer
and he said, "Yeah, they do that a lot.  We have about 50% of them
returned to us, so we aren't going to carry Aamazing products anymore."

 He traded me even up for a Trident, and I haven't had any problems
since.

While the discussion that developed on this topic is interesting, i.e. not
Cairo but Cirrus, not $695 but $495,  no one in Usenetland seems to know
just how well these two products (MS Access and PARADOX/Win) will compare.
Perhaps someone who's had beta releases or someone with some ingenious

I have found a problem in smartdrive and am wondering if anyone else has this problem.

If you set smartdrive (the windows 3.1 version one) to say 2meg dos, 1meg inside windows, and 
then look at the status...its fine...BUT, boot windows, and then exit out of it, and the
status is 1meg/1meg inside/outside dos... It is NOT reset to the 2meg when you leave windows...

is this a feature of it or a bug?

Hi,

I have an application which has 2 windows displaying 2 different images.
Every thing seems fine until I make these 2 windows overlap. The problem
is that whenever I manipulate an image (which cause a redraw), the
manipulated image will always cover the other image.

Anyone has any idea what could be the cause ?

Thanks in advance for your advice and help.

Windows users - Help
 
I have Win3.1 installed on a Novell 2.2 net with windows working
fine.  One station just received a SVGA screen which I want to
install.  The standard SVGA video driver as suppied with windows
works but leaves black bands down the right and left side about 1.5
inches wide thereby wasting a good chunk of screen real estate.
 
So I downloaded the recent video griver to match the Trident card
for Win31.
 
The problem is installing them on the network.
 
When I attempt to install the video drivers into the user network
home directory using the shared copy of windows (the station does
not have a local hard drive) the installation starts but gives me
error messages when it attempts to copy two of the video drivers
Windows gives the error message "the file vddtvga.386 needed to
install this driver is not available on the network. Your system
does not have permission to copy the file to the network"  After
cancelling I get the message "setup was unable to copy because the
file is write protected or in use by windows."
 
I have supervisor rights so I can copy, I've tried running setup /n
from the DOS prompt, I've tried copying the required files manually
in DOS to the user directory and shared windows directory, I've
tried flagging the shared files both read only and read write.
 
Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

The foreground and background colors can be changed by editing EMACS.RC:

	I'd like to see VI for Windows too for this reason:  I DON'T want to
use a Word Processor to write CODE.  I'd like to have a programmer's editor -
I'm already quite proficient with VI.  And yes, I'm looking into editors such
as Codewright and Ed (but I'd really rather not learn a whole new editor if
I don't have to).

FoxPro was an acquired product and not as sophisticated as Access,
you'll see this by the pricing of the two databases.

I'm not to sure of the details, to compare FoxPro, but Access will do
pretty much anything you want it to, but you'll pay for it.  If you need
a Windows database, get it while its $99, you'll never spend a better
$99 on a piece of software.

I haven't seen Paradox/Win, but being a Paradox/DOS fan, I can't see how
Borland can be Access.  It actually was worth the wait.

Cirrus was... hope Cairo doesn't take as long as Cirrus...

Does this board use a C&T chipset ?  There are several boards available in the
UK which use the C&T set.  I have used one, called ELViS, which comes in two
versions.  The older version of the C&T chip does not have sqare pixel 
representation of the video, so the image seem slightly elongated in the 
vertical.  The second version if fine, and uses a Philips ADC and DAC system.

Overall I was very impressed, and the UK price is about #500 - #700 depending
on the board version.  All you need to do is think of an application for it.


Regards,
Simon.

Use /E can let you use expanded memory, unfortunately, it won't work for

HI!!!

I'm using WPWin under Windows with Adobe Typemanager- and TrueType Fonts. Now I
need to write some texts in russian, but I don't have a any cyrillic Font to use
with the normal keyboard layout (not with Alt+A or any other macros).
Does anyone know where i can get those fonts (PD or commercial)??

Thanks
	Axel

Hello!

Can somebody tell me where can I get (ftp) a Trident 8800CS

Please send mail to me. (Please give me the filename etc.)
Thank you very much.
