I am starting to work on a project using DDE to transfer data.  The  application came with an Excel macro which can transfer the data. I need to 'port' it to 1-2-3W.  1-2-3W uses a very different setup for DDE macros.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to good references?  I have  downloaded "WW01117:  Windows Dynamic Exchange (DDE)" [the MS Application Note].  Any books worth getting?  The specifics are:  Server application:  Dionex AI-450 Chromatography Data System Client application:  1-2-3 for Windows V1.1  Except for the macro, Dionex did not provide any documentation for DDE.  Also, I am having problems because I am trying to develop the application on my PC, but to actually get data, you need to be connect to the instrument.  Any help here would be appreciated, too.  Thanks, --
Though I downloaded some of the posted bitmaps myself, the original poster is quite right... As an alternative, try posting them at comp.binaries.ms-windows, and just letting us know.  A good idea is to post the article number here.  peace, Micke

Call their Developer Support Services number (sorry, don't have it handy) and ask for the Word for Windows binary file format spec.  Warning:  It is not terribly useful, and you will need to do a *lot* of looking before you can figure out how the stuff is stored.  General primer:  Word for Windows stores its data in two chunks.  The first chunk is the actual text in the file.  This is all stored together and has nothing but text and graphics.  The second chunk is the formatting information.  For general use, to read a Word for Windows file, skip the first 384 bytes of the file (its a general header).  Then read the remaining text until you hit binary data.

If you're still on 3.0, 3.1 devotes about twice as much memory to these and runs out much less frequently. If 3.1, you might use one of the resource monitors (such as the one that comes with the Windows 3.1 Resource Kit or one of the many shareware ones available) to see which programs are hogging the resources (every icon, internal graphics brush, etc. in every program running uses a certain amount of this limited memory area. Also, some don't give it back when they're finished).

One of our users is having an unusual problem.  If she does an Alt/Tab to a full-screen DOS program, when she goes back to Windows her desktop fonts have changed.  If she goes back to a full-screen DOS program and then goes back to Windows, the font has changed back to its default font.  It's not a major problem (everything works and the font is legible), but it is annoying.  Does anyone have any idea why this happens.  By the way, she has a DEC 486D2LP machine.
Has anyone else been playing with that wincmd utility from PC Magazine? If so, I am having trouble concatenating string variables together and need your help.  For example: temp = "path" temp2 = "file.ext" fullpath = temp+"/" say fullpath			// output = 'th/' fullpath = fullpath+temp2 say fullpath			// output = 'h/file.ext'  So, it seems to be dropping the first few characters with each concatenations.  Is it that I am out of memory -- I only have maybe 20 variables total -- the article didn't mention memory limits.   email me if you have an idea or would like to see the actual source and output.  Thanks for your help. 		-Bo

I posted a message here some time ago asking why my mouse was so jumpy.   Well, I think I know why, and it doesn't have anything to do with the  mouse.  It seems to be the video driver!  Here's why I think that:  A few weeks ago I helped a guy install the driver for his S3 video card for  windows.  He had been using the normal Windows default VGA driver.  We don't  have the same kind of mouse (mine is microsoft serial and his is an off- brand serial mouse).  His mouse worked fine until I installed the S3 (v1.4)  driver on his system, then his mouse became really jumpy too!  Is there anything I can do?  I need high resolution since I display LOTS of  stuff on my screen (AMI Pro, Pegasus Mail for Windows, WP Office 4.0 --  sorry, nondisclosure!, and alot more).  I noticed there are S3 drivers on  ftp.cica, but they are the same version that I already have and they are no  help (I already tried!).  --- Sean Eckton Computer Support Representative College of Fine Arts and Communications  D-406 HFAC Brigham Young University Provo, UT  84602 (801)378-3292
Hi all,  has anybody tried to compile CTRLTEST from the MFC/SAMPLES directory, after compiling the MFC-libs with BWC ?  Seems to me, that BWC isn't able to distinguish pointers to overloaded functions. For example, imagine the following 2 (overloaded) functions: void same_name ( void )  void same_name ( int )   After trying the whole day, I think, with BWC its impossible to take the adress of one of the above two functions and assign it to a properly defined function pointer.  Am I right ? Has anybody else had this problem ?
In the newer versions of Norton Backup for Windows (2.0 at least) there is an "emergency" disk, which will allow you to restore from tape without reinstalling DOS/Windows (I understand it's sort of cumbersome to use, but not nearly as much as reinstalling everything!)
This is an official RFD for the creation of a new newsgroup for the general discussion of the Microsoft Access RDMS.  NAME: COMP.DATABASES.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.

Is anyone out there running a MS-DOS system with a LocalTalk board? I am on an Appletalk network, hooked up with a DayStar Digital LT200 MC LocalTalk Interface Board, running on a PS/2 Model 70. I'm using the AppleShare PC software for file server and network access. It works fine under DOS or the Window or OS/2 DOS box. But when I try to load it *before* Windows, so that every application I run could get access to it, the machine crashes hard as soon as I start up an application. And of course, things look pretty hopeless for OS/2 (but who knows).   So, does anyone have experience with this bizarre and obsolete setup?

While working on my shareware toolbar, I found myself 'eating' resources, and a very wise person pointed me to the SDK, and specifically the debug kernel. Once you have all the SDK stuff installed, (this also comes with VC++), you run 'n2d' which does a 'normal-to-debug' swap. The debug kernel runs C O N S I D E R A B L Y slower, but you then execute the command DBWIN, and let it report to you what is going on. You are going to find out a lot more about your Apps than you cared to, and possibly about other peoples Apps (is that OPA?..I'm sorry).

This is crazy!  I have  >never had so much trouble with a mouse before.  Anyone have any solutions?    Try this:  flip your mouse over, and open up the cover that holds the mouse ball in place.  Remove the ball, and inside you should see (probably) 3 rollers.  If any of the rollers have a tiny layer of caked-on dirt, dust, or otherwise unidentifiable scum on them, carefully scrape it off with a small knife (Xacto works great).  *Be Careful* You do not want to gauge the rollers, just clean off the dirt. Put the ball back in, put the cover on, and there you are.    I clean a couple of dozen of these every month here.  Another symptom is that when you move the mouse, it seems to "click" along.  If this doesn't solve your problem, at least you have a clean mouse.  I highly recommend using a proper _soft_ mouse pad, and if you are a clean freak, place it in your drawer every night or when you don't use it to keep the dust off.  Personally I prefer track balls.  Oh, which brings me to another point: if your mouse or trackball tracks optically, and the sunlight is  streaming through the window onto your mouse/trackball, you may notice that it will stop working.  If this happens to you, close the curtains or blinds, or simply shade your pointing device, and see if that helps.

I recently set Windows 3.1 up on my 486DX-33 VLB system, and I didn't notice until last night that I don't have the 386 icon in my control panel.  I don't remember Windows setup asking me about 386 enhanced mode (whether I wanted it or not).  Now I've got a program that I  just bought (Aldus Freehand 3.1) that is telling me that I should be running Windows in enhanced mode (looks like I'm running in standard mode).  How can switch to enhanced mode without the little icon thingie?  Are there some issues involved with VESA LB systems which cause Windows to not want to give you enhanced mode?   Thanks for any help!!
