 Help! - Disappearing Groups!!!

Salutations!
	I don't usually subscribe to these newsgroups so I would really
appreciate it if someone could possibly e-mail me the answer to my problem.
I have been using Windows 3.1 since buying it last winter but I have just
now come across an annoying bug. I now have about 8 different groups in
program manager but it seems that everytime I install something new that
makes a new group, it promptly disappears after I turn of windows!
This happened when I installed Excel and WinFax Pro v.3. They both created
their own groups but when I turned off windows and reran them, they were
gone. I had to manually pull them up as new items and put them in a
previously existing group as all new gropus disappear as soon as I turn
off windows.
	my set up:
			precision 386dx-25 w/ 4 megs
			Trident 8900c with 1 meg 
			Windows 3.1 running in 800x600 colour mode
			logitech mouseman
			
Thank you in advance!

I have two questions:

1) I have been having troubles with my Wordperfect for Windows.
   When I try to select and change fonts, etc. some of the text
   disappears.  I tried to center two lines once, and the second
   line disappeared.  I can not find the error, and I do not
   know how to correct it.

2) Is this the right newsgroup?  Where should I go?

If anyone could point me at such a thing, I'd be grateful.

I wonder if anyone can tell me whether or not I can create a bitmap

and specified a 24x24 bitmap  and supplied
a byte string with 72 chars.  But I just cannot get the right bitmap
image.  I changed the width/height to 32x32 and used the same value
string  and
got the image.

The example in the manual is 64x32 size, which are multiple of 2 bytes.
Can you define a bitmap image of any size?

The PC World reviewers found out that the Herc people had hard-coded

There is *NO*, that's right, *NO* telnet access to Compuserve, no ftp access,

You can telnet to hermes.merit.edu, but that routes you through Sprintnet,

Since I do not own a SoundBlaster: is there a possibility

I just got off the phone with Mathsoft technical service. They
are now admitting a problem of unknown nature with Maple and
Norton Desktop for Windows. They have no clue at this time
and are collecting configuration information on the systems
which exhibit the problem. Anyone having problems loading the
Maple solver in MathCad 4.0 under NDW shoud call technical
support at 617-577-1017. They made no schedule promices,
but are actively working on the problem.

In the meantime, the workaround is to provide a configuration
selection in autoexec.bat to use PROGMAN  whenever
you plan to use the Maple solver and NDW otherwise. I am using
Norton BE to place a little menu on the screen with a 5 second
timeout to auto boot NDW.

I have a question about the demo files for amipro v3 uploaded in cica.
I downloaded it and tryied to install it.  However, it didn't work.  
In addition, it altered or eliminated my NWRES2.dll file so that I had
to reinstall my Norton Desktop again.

Is there anything I have to know to install it or do I eventually have 
to ask Lotus to send a working model to me ?
I just want to see its look and feel before buying it.

Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

   -----Or, if you need to use a service bureau and they're only set up to use
   Type 1 fonts. From what I've heard  the results of outputting
   TT fonts as Type 1 is _not_ as good as using high-quality Type 1 fonts in
   the first place.

Unless you `print' to file with the correct resolution set for the
final output device .  A problem with TT fonts in Windows
is that they do get converted to T1 format OK, and the hinting is even used
while this is done, but the resulting T1 fonts are NOT hinted.  The result
is that they WILL work fine on a device of the resolution assumed by the
printer driver when the PS file is generated, but they will not look
good when printed at a different resolution.  

So when you print to an attached PS printer, with the PS driver set up for
this printer results, may be quite good.  But if you take a PS file made for
that printer and run it on a device of different resolution , then the results may not be so good.

Two things that annoyed me about the PC Magazine review:

1.  Their benchmarking technique is seriously flawed, as was clearly shown
    by the Graphite and #9GXE's "cheating".  Can't they just admit that
    their benchmark is to easy to optimize for and/or cheat on?  WinTach
    is much harder to beat...

2.  The big "cheat" that Hercules/IIT used was overlappipping BitBlit and
    PolyLine optimization, and Hercules sent them a new driver which didn't
    do this -- but produced almost identical scores.  Yet, the only thing
    PC Magazine says is that scores are not "legitimate" -- couldn't they
    at least make some comment about its real-world performance?

I'm not so much going by WinBench for performance, but, rather, by Steve
Gibson's results, which are more real-world based .  If you believe Gibson, that is ... :)  He writes:

    "Despite these documented cheats, I have to say that in real-world
     applications the Hercules Graphite adapter actually draws faster than
     any other display adapter in the industry.   [...]  Even though it's
     just a modest ISA bus card, it outperformed every local bus adapter I
     have, including the Stealth 24 VLB, the Fahrenheit 1280VA/VLB, the
     ATI VLB Mach32 and even the Weitek P9000-based Diamond Viper VLB."

This kind of praise is enough for me to be interested in it, bogus WinBench
or not!  :)

> When and if you get one send me mail.. I might buy that ATI GU+ off
> you.. 9-)

I already returned the ATI GU+.  My dealer had sold eight of them, and 
seven were returned to him.  I'm now  back to running an
original ATI GU, until I get my Graphite.  And, yes, the GU is faster in
my 16 MB system than the GU+, especially in bitmap handling .

Hercules has a promotion available for VARs and software developers: you
can buy one Graphite or Graphite VLB for 50% off list to try it out.  At
just $199 for Graphite or $249 for the VLB version I decided it was worth
trying .  I'll post
my impressions when I get it...

There's a package called Workspace on cica that has 5 desktops; I

Don't have the exact archive name handy, but it's something like
