They are working ok, but your definitions in QVTNET.INI and QVTHOST.RC are incorrect (see below).  >The docs said if you are running concurrent packet software you need to   >load PKTMUX???  Does this apply to me???  No, I don't think so. You are using QVTNET and NOVELL concurrently, aren't you? They use different packet types, so QVTNET (TCP/IP) and NOVELL (IPX/SPX) should be able to coexist just fine. PKTMUX is required if you are using different TCP/IP-Packages concurrently.  >This is the qvthost.rc file. >137.112.5.2 >137.112.199.50  There is the first problem: You didn't specify hostnames, just IP-Addresses. Your file should look like this:  137.112.5.2        <Name of your Nameserver> 137.112.199.50     <Name of your Router>  >This is the beginning of the winqvt.ini file. >[net] >name=swartzjh.test.rose-hulman.edu  Here you should only specify your hostname, without the domain part.  >router=137.112.199.50  Instead, use router=<Name of your Router>, as specified in your QVTHOST.RC I know the release notes for 3.31 say that IP addresses should work also, but  apparently they don't.  >nameserver=137.112.5.2  Here, too, you should use the hostname of the nameserver instead of the IP address.  It worked fine for me that way, although I could not specify more than one nameserver. The relnotes say it should be possible to specify up to three nameservers, separated by commas, but it didn't work.  Hope it helps, Richard
Hi!  I will like to know if there is a FORTRAN library for MS-Windows v3+ out there.  I have several lots of source code written by past A/Ps in MS-FORTRAN, and recently have needed to port them to MS-Windows... I would like to avoid a major code-rewrite if possible - maybe a WINDOWS library is all I need?  Please help - reply by E-mail to:  traversmorgan@swell.actrix.gen.nz
Here are some cool 3-D background patterns I made.  Edit your CONTROL.INI and add the following lines to your [Patterns] section.  Bricks=148 43 86 172 89 182 99 201 Tile=1 43 85 43 85 43 85 255 Tile (diagonal)=148 107 54 156 73 182 99 201 Slats=0 170 85 170 85 170 85 255  Make sure your desktop color is one of the standard 16 colors or the patterns might not work.  I like dark grey the best with these.

And as a further comment on DOS 6, if you decide to install Windows standalone configuration completely, in more than 1 directory on your hard drive, and use DOS 6 to jump to a specific copy for each user, you could be saving yourself many megs of disk space if you use the SETUP /N and /A technique!!

True, MS products do not boast features that MS invented, but how many products out there by other vendors out there are truely innovative in their continuing development?   I think what makes MS special to the public is thier innovative pricing. It is true the XWindows/MAC/NEXT all have some feature(s) in thier GUI that are better than MS.  But people like me can't afford them. It is true that Apple has lower their pricing on the low end models.. but they are just that...low end.  System 7 is a better operating system, but the machines they operate on just are too expensive for my tastes...A UNIX platform is powerful enuf, but tell the common user to set up .Xdefault (i am still confused on what some of them things  do) and they either puke or faint.    If u think about it, low prices aint innovative if u come down to it.  But for the product it offers and on the lower cost (and powerful hardware that it runs on as compare to macs)....MS is kinda innovative..  Oh yea, I guess the fact that the support products and applications they have garnered for MSWindows does make them kinda innovative too..
I've recently re-uploaded to cica the current (v2.8) version of the working  model of MicroCal Origin, a scientific and technical 2D/3D graphics and data  analysis package for Windows 3.x. The working model is 2D only and puts a promo message on hardcopies, but is largely identical to the full version. Saving Origin files is disabled, but you can save ASCII data sets produced with Origin. It also says it has an expiration date of Sept. 1, 1993.  Try it. You may like it, as I do!  It's currently at ftp.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.17) in the directory /pub/pc/win3/uploads as ORIGIN2.ZIP. The file ORIGIN.ZIP is, unfortunately, incomplete (SORRY 'BOUT THAT!).
Hello.       I have Windows 3.1 and I was wondering what is necessary to change the default system font to something else.  I have just obtained MSC/C++ 7.0 with SDK, so I'd really like to get my feet wet with doing my first windows pro- gram to change the system font.  Tx.,  William F. Maton

Hi,  I have a 486/66MHz SYS based PC with 8M RAM and a problem.  What is the best way to configure high memory with QEMM/386MAX ?? I have a SPEEDSTAR 24X video card and use Hyperdisk disk cache software. The problem is running Windows 3.1 in Enhanced mode and having any high memory to load stuff high?  Note : I tried, as recommended to exclude the region A000-C7FF but Windows insists on starting in Standard mode.  Any suggestions?
I look at zApp and really liked it. However, I think you should wait for version 2.0 (I think it will be out soon).
In Win 3.1, one may assign hot-keys for the program items within the Program Manager. How about the Program Manager itself? Is there one already, or is there some way to assign one?

I have been backing up my hard drive ever since I had to re-install everything from scratch after a crash (learned the hard way, didn't I?!). I am using a windows-based backup program (actually Norton), and I  began wondering about the logic of this.  Sure, if I accidentally delete a file, I can get it from the archive.  But what if my disk crashes again? I would not be able to start windows to run the backup program!  (Note, by crash, I mean, there was some error message that prevented the machine from booting properly.  I think I gave up too early, but I didn't have the time/patience/tools to figure out exactly what the problem was.  My hard drive needed cleaning up anyway. Yeah right...)  This whole scenario is complicated by the fact that I am using Stacker.  So I think there are 2 possibilities:     1) I'm right.  If my disk really crashes, I would at least have to       re-install DOS and Windows to get the backup program working.    2) I'm wrong.  There is an easy way to make a "mirror" of a hard disk       that can easily restore it's state from scratch.  The polls are open...

Help, I'm bored with the current Windows backgrounds we have here and am  looking for some nifty pictures to use instead.  I've seen from previous posts that many sites exist that store pictures - available through anonymous ftp. Except that I can't ftp to remote sites from my machine, what I CAN do is use 'ftpmail' - mail a list of commands to a server and receive a mail of files,  and/or data back. Does anyone know of sites, with Windows compatible pictures, that can be  accessed in such a way???  If you do would you please post them. TIA    Mark.  PS. Maybe this would make a useful FAQ

It will certainly *help* to be able to run Windows and Dos apps but the only way that Solaris or OS/2 or any other scheme is going to  challenge Microsoft is if they can somehow get the prices for Solaris or OS/2 or whatever apps, down to a DOS competitive level.  Everybody would rather run a Solaris app on a Solaris system and an OS/2 app on an OS/2 system, they usually just can't afford a Unix system because of the high prices for good Unix software.
Hello all,  I'd like to know, how z-modem-upload is initiated in a WinQVT-Script-file, to check how it works before registering. Unfortunatly, nothing about that feature is mentioned in the manual. Can anybody help me?
Can someone out there tell me how to switch Window's screen resolution quickly and easily?  I know that I can go back into install to do it, but what I'd really like is to have is the ability to just change a couple of startup or configuration files and have the resolution changed.  I already have both video drivers that I need on my system, so that isn't a problem.   Thanks,   Sean.

This past weekend we had a nasty thunderstorm and the impossible (*&^%) happened - I got a direct lightning strike on my house - and to the second floor outlet box into which my faithful DeskJet 500C was connected. There was a .303-bullet-sized hole in the aluminum siding with some solidified aluminum slag dripping from it. You could actually see the electrical box through the hole! The outlet itself was fried and I'm still amazed the whole damn house didn't burn down.  I lost 2 electric garage door openers,  2 vcr's, 2 telephones (all of which were on the opposite side of the house), a ZyXEL U-1496E high speed modem, a VGA monitor, a 1024x768 color monitor, the RS232 and parallel ports on my X terminal and a WD LAN card in my PC. Not a good night!  But, the DeskJet ran as soon as I found a functioning serial and parallel port to connect to it.

Another to throw into the running is topdesk.  It is alsow on CICA, but I'm not sure where.  It is more complicated then backdesk, but I've found it to be more stable and more usefull.  I recomend it to people who have already used a virtual desktop.  Oh yeh, It's free.   Copyright Microsoft and Sanford Staab.
Hi.  My last question for the year.  I have a mail-order no-name notebook with 4 meg ram.  I never have problems with my huge ramdisk or when running desqview, but Win3.1 and W4W2.0 constantly crash on me, most commonly citing a "memory parity error."  The only thing I can do is TURN OFF and re-boot.  My CMOS ticks off & counts all the memory every startup, and there is never a problem with this either.  Could it be a bug in my Windows copy instead of the hardware?  I remember having some disk error problems when installing it.   Is there any change I could make to lessen the frequency or likelyhood of this happening (I think win vs win /s produce different crashes, but both crash frequently nonetheless)

RE: Irish/Gaelic TrueType Font wanted - synopsis  I wrote: >Can anyone tell me where I can find an MS-Windows TrueType font >that will give me the characters used in writing Irish/Gaelic >in the old style? > >For example, in this font the letter T would look something >like a C with a horizontal bar sitting on the top, and the >letter G would look something like an S with a horizontal >bar sitting on the top.   Many thanks to those who responded to my question.  Unfortunately I have had no luck in actually getting such a font, and a lot of people interested in geting one, and so I have decided to create my own truetype font fitting  that description.  This font is based on that used in the 1904 issue of  Dineen's dictionary and is typical of that found in Irish books from the  early part of the century.  This may take me some time to do (in my limited spare time) but I'll make it available to anyone who is interested,  when it is ready.  The responses I received are summerised below:  Kevin Donnelly (caoimhin@smo.ac.uk) mentioned that Michael Everson (everson@irlearn.ucd.ie) had developed some Clo/ Gaelach fonts for the Macintosh and may be able to advise me.  I contacted Michael and he told me that he has three fonts available for the Macintosh, and that he will eventually port them to the PC, but that he will be charging  IR 100 (about $160) for each one.  pbryant@ukelele.GCR.COM mentioned that he uses two font that have a 'nice Irish/Gaelic look to them'.  These are "Durrow" and "American  Uncial-Normal".  I don't know where you can get these but I don't think that they have the effects I am looking for.  Finally, rhiannon@netcom.com (Rhia) mentioned that the "Meath" font included in the Casady & Greene Fluent Laser Fonts 2 package is very much like what I was describing.  I faxed Casady & Greene for info but got no reply.  So that's it.  I'll post these newsgroups when I make my font available.
