Can anyone tell me where to find a standard VESA display driver that will  support the on-the-motherboard XGA video of a 486 50Mz DX2 IBM Model 95 (8595-0LF)?  I need to use 640 x 480 and higher resolutions under both  Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS.  Minimum colors 256 at highest resolution, with 64K  colors needed at 640 x 480.
As a beginer, I just wonder how to transfer files from the Sun  system (which is on the network) to my PC at home (not connected to the network). I tried to use 'COMit' to do so, but it was very slow and it seemed that getting multiple files at the same time was impossible. Could anybody give me some hints & infomation?  Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the info.  I assume that this is for MFC 1.0.  Does anyone know if this will work with MFC 2.0, or what else needs to be done? Thanks.

Has anybody else noticed this also? I have the local bus card also, and don't have any such problems with it now, but this is the second card I've gotten - the first card didn't work in VGA mode correctly.  Maybe they still have some quality control problems. I would suggest checking with ATI (I went through the vendor I bought the card from since the problem showed up immediately).  I never was able to get through to ATI's technical support number.    I sure like the way the card performs though.  I have the 2MB ATI ultra pro - local bus, and it is fast even in 1024x768x16bpp mode.

That isn't enough to change your Windows startup logo.  vgalogo.rle is not  needed after you have installed Windows.  It is incorporated as a part of  win.com. 	To make a new win.com, you have to concatinate three files together,  using the /b option for a binary concatonation.  I beleive it is  copy /b win.cnf+vgalogo.lgo+vgalogo.rle mywin.com  Make sure you backup your win.com file in anotehr directory before you do this  -- I absent-mindedly typed win.com instead of mywin.com and had to resinstall  Windows! 	Anyway, substitute whatever .RLE file you want.  The win.cnf has the  info needed to start Windows (think of it as a bootstrap) and vgalogo.vga has  video information.  Just make sure that the .RLE file doesn't tip the whole  COM file size over the 64k limit of a .COM file! 	So anyway, I use mywin.com to startup MS Windows.  Now instead of that  annoying Micro$oft advertisment, I have the Joker (yes, from Batman) taking  yoru picture from the screen, saying "Smile!"

Our student association runs a small Novell network which has a subnetwork of Windows for Workgroups and Microsoft Mail. The Director of Finance, en electrical engineering student, would like to gateway this system, either via SLIP or not, into the University's network and thus the Internet, at the very least to exchange e-mail, but possibly also to do ftp's etc. For now, this would be done via a 9600 bps modem.  He would like to set it up so that it would periodically call in to check mail, but would otherwise connect whenever needed.  What is the best way to do this? Gatewaying software is available, but what works best?  Please reply to me: dkmiller@unixg.ubc.ca  or the D of F    : dleung@ee.ubc.ca  with a cc: to the other.

I've started getting a message from Windows 3.1 whenever I try to execute a DOS program from Windows, either thru the Program Manager or the File Manager. A message box comes up and says "This program or one of its components is compressed. Use the MS-DOS expand command to expand the file."  Now, I know this is bogus, because I can always execute the program from DOS when not running windows. The program in question is COMMAND.COM (yup, the basic DOS command line shell...) And, the expand command tells me that the file is already expanded.  All my windows apps work just fine - I only get this message when trying to execute a DOS program from Windows.

EMM386 is NOT reqired to load the DOS kernal high (or else you couldn't do it on a 286).  In a mail message I recommended that he remove it since he only runs ProcomPlus frequently in DOS, and I suspect EMM386 will slow down windows.

Print Manager icon, won't it RUN Notepad and Paintbrush before printing?  If you just want to drag a file (.txt or .bmp) to a print server icon, with stay at front attributes, you need an intelligent Print Manager drag and drop client like Amish Print 2.0.
Hi folks,  At the end of the summer I'm planning on getting a new computer (486DX50 or 486DX2/66) and have been poking around in Computer Shopper.  Anyway I saw the ads for the Diamond Viper (Local Bus, 2MB memory, 50 million+ WinMarks) and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it (good/bad/not worth the money/etc.)  Any information at all would be nice.  Also, a few other questions.  Anyone know of a good cheap 15"+ 1024x768 NI monitor?  And what is a good CD-ROM drive that meets MPC standards and is controlled via SCSI?  How about a 250MB tape drive on SCSI?

It's relatively easy to learn, very easy to use and somewhat easy to program.  I highly recomend it, particularly at $99.00!  I have not used Paradox for Windows, but I don't expect it to be $30.00 better than Access (IMHO).

I am running windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode.  The sound card I have is the ATI Stereo F/X-CD sound card which claims Adlib and Soundblaster compatibility.  Using Windows MediaPlayer, I can play the midi files that came with my sound card.  However, I can't play any of the midi files that belong to the WinJammer midi editor that I ftp'd from cica.  I also can't play any midi files I generate with muzika (also from cica).  When I try to play the files, a dialog box pops up saying that the music may not play right, and it has a checkbox asking me if i wish to disable this message in the future.  Is this normal, or do I have something set wrong?  I would really like to be able to write music on muzika and have my computer play it.  I also ftp'd the game dare2dream for windows (from cica) and its music won't play either - I get the same dialog box.  The MIDI Mappers that I have are ATI Ext MIDI, ATI OPL3 MIDI, and Vanilla. I have tried using all three.  Any help, suggestions, shoulders to cry on, etc. would be appreciated very much.  John P.
