I have been experiencing several end-user problems with various commercial software packages (WordPerfect 5.2/WIN, Publish It!/WIN 3.1) and printing landscape mode on a Citizen PN48 (the little guy) or the Citizen GSX-140+.  In a nutshell the problem is that I lose the first 0.625 inches of information from my left margin, be it white space or TrueType font output, and margins are not preserved on subsequent pages past the first.  WordPerfect had a workaround consisting of using the "Default" location for the printers instead of "Tractor" or "Manual".  They have also filed this as a bug and are continuing to investigate it.  MS Write, of course, has no problem with these printer drivers, proving that Microsoft knows something the rest of us don't!  Are you surprised?  I'm not.  Publish It!/WIN is still investigating this problem, and while I was consider- my options (rejecting the one about buying an $800 DTP package, for *surely* they wouldn't have this problem, right?) I stumbled onto a global workaround.  WORKAROUND ---------- Go into the Windows 3.1 control panel, select printers, select your Citizen printer driver, select SETUP, and select a custom size of 850 x 1132.  Like magic, all of your problems will go away.  Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies!  -- Mike   ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: My opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. ========================================================================
Hi, I am using a dtk 386-20Mhz 13Meg memory to run a variety of programs, and have had problems off and on with lock up, but now I am trying to run an application that wants a lot of memory over a period of time (Playmation 24 bit rendered) and it is  locking up Everytime.  I have an ATI ultra + w/2Meg which I have tried in each of the video modes, I have excluded the region of video memory from A000-C800 segments from the use of emm386, have tried adjusting the swap partion from large to nonexistant (to prevent swapping) and I have REM'd ALL TSR's and utilities in config.syus and autoexec, and even tried using the default program manager, disabling my HP dashboard.  even with a minimal system, no swap, no smartdrv, no TSR's, no windows utilities and exclusion of video regions it still locks up completely (no mouse control, no response to anything except 3finger salute, and even that does not stop by the standard windows screen, but simply does a full reset immediately).  Just about out of ideas, anyone out there have any????  Thanks tom branham branham@binah.cc.brandeis.edu
In a previous article, mrw54660@eng-nxt01.cso.uiuc.edu (Michael R Whitchurch) says:  >Whenever I start File Manager, the status bar is not displayed, >even though it is selected in the options menu. If I deselect it, >then select it again, the bar appears. Anyone have any ideas why >this is happening?  No, not really. It may be that your winfile.ini has gotten corrupted for some unknown reason. Have you tried re-creating it by either 1.exiting filemanager with the save setting option on when the status bar is visible, or 2.double clicking on the Control menu(the one with minimize and maximize in in) when everything looks proper?  If you have, and it still doesn't work, you may want to delete your winfile.ini and try one of these two saving procedures again to totally recreate the file from scratch.  Good luck!

This is the 2nd Reguest for Discussion ( RFD ) for the creation of  comp.databases.ms-access   The discussion period started on April 6 and it will last until April 28, ( 22 days ).  This is an official RFD for the creation of a new newsgroup for the general discussion of the Microsoft Access RDMS.  NAME: COMP.DATABASES.MS-ACCESS  MODERATION: UNMODERATED. At this time, no need for a moderator has been assertained. Future evaluation will determine if one is needed.  PURPOSE:  Access is a new RDBMS for the Windows Operating System. It includes WYSIWYG design tools for easy creation of tables, reports, forms and queries and a database programming language called Access Basic. THe purpose of the group will be to provide help to people who use Access's  WYSIWYG design tools to create simple databases as well as to people who use  Access Basic to create complex databases.  RATIONALE: Eventhough Access is a new RDBMS, it is very popular because of its Graphical Development enviroment and its initial low price. Been a version 1.0 product means that all Access users are Novices. For that reason a newsgroup is needed where Access users can discuss  their experiences with the product and answer each other's questions.

There are some things you might be interested to know about today's RISC processors.  It is true that there are fewer instructions, but what is  not commonly known is that this causes the size of your executables to swell, so that in some cases performance is similar for larger applications. As a compromise, many RISC processors today are actually a cross between a Reduced Instructions Set, and a Complex one.  This is not to say that there is no future in CISC processors, Intel has  certainly proved that.  What I want to know, is what does this have to do with this group?  -dave    Subject: Re: WP-PCF, Linux, RISC?

Perusing through my Windows 3.1 directory, I came across a file called REGLOAD.EXE.  I assume this is part of the registration database, but neither my Windows manual, Win Resource Kit, nor PC Mag's description of files in the Windows directory had a reference to it.  At least not one that I could find.  Does REGEDIT.EXE use it?  Or am I way off base?

I think you can do this with REGEDIT, which can make changes to the OLE registration database.  From Program Manager (or  File Manager) choose RUN and type REGEDIT.  You do have it- its included with Windows, but not well documented.

I have a Microsoft Serial Mouse and am using mouse.com 8.00 (was using 8.20  I think, but switched to 8.00 to see if it was any better).  Vertical motion  is nice and smooth, but horizontal motion is so bad I sometimes can't click  on something because my mouse jumps around.  I can be moving the mouse to  the right with relatively uniform motion and the mouse will move smoothly  for a bit, then jump to the right, then move smoothly for a bit then jump  again (maybe this time to the left about .5 inch!).  This is crazy!  I have  never had so much trouble with a mouse before.  Anyone have any solutions?    Does Microsoft think they are what everyone should be? <- just venting steam!   --- Sean Eckton Computer Support Representative College of Fine Arts and Communications  D-406 HFAC Brigham Young University Provo, UT  84602 (801)378-3292

Not only are you moving data on a path twice as wide (at least), but there is a difference in the number of clocks required for bus transactions between the two busses.  Most ISA boards require multiple clocks per bus transaction -- typically this is around 3-4. EISA boards are suppose to be able to 'burst' at a 1:1 rate, so I would expect performance to be 6x-8x that of an ISA card.    So I guess, for me, the question is unanswered still.  I would expect him to be able to see a 6x speed difference, and he apparently does not.    --  "Insisting on perfect safety is for people who don't have the balls to live  in the real world."   -- Mary Shafer, NASA Ames Dryden

I have,     however, no desire whatsoever to use a version of os/2 which wont REALLY    do what it says (i.e. run windows apps)  OS/2 2.0-2.1 will not run windows    apps in 386 enhansed mode, something that most larger windows apps require, but    OS/2 2.2, which is supposed to be in beta test, is supposed to.  I have heard    that os/2 2.2 beta is available via ftp, and I was wondering if anyone knew    where to obtain a copy.  I would appreciate any information, as I would like,     once and for all, to establish for myself which is the best os for my needs.     ->Robbie<-    z_shererrg.sfasu.edu  If you wait until May the 18th you will be able to buy the new OS/2 2.1 since it will be released at Comdex that day. It will run Windows 3.1 apps and Windows enh. mode. If you can't wait, then you can ftp a 6 months old beta version from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, but this version is probably a lot slower than the final product.  When you do your test, please have in mind that a single tasking system will always be faster at doing one task. The real power of OS2 lies in the multitasking and can't really be measured by a stopwatch.  Happy benchmarking.

I know this is probably a FAQ, but...  I installed the s/w for my ATI graphics card, and it bashed my Windows logo files.  When I start Windows now, it has the 3.0 logo instead of the 3.1 logo.  I thought the files that controlled this were  \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VGALOGO.RLE \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VGALOGO.LGO	  I restored these files, but it didn't change the logo.  Anyone know what the correct files are?  Thanks.
I've been using version 2.5.2 of ghostscript, and I'm quite satisfied with it.  There are, actually, 3 versions:  a plain dos version, a 386 version, and a windows version.
