Does anyone out there have any info on the up and coming fall comdex '93? I was asked by one of my peers to get any info that might be available.  Or, could anyone point me in the right direction?  Any help would be appreciated.
Dear friend,   The RISC means "reduced instruction set computer". The RISC usually has  small instruction set so as to reduce the circuit complex and can increase  the clock rate to have a high performance. You can read some books about computer architecture for more information about RISC.

If you install the Soundblaster windows drivers correctly, and have the latest drivers, the media player should be setup to play files authored to Microsoft's Multimedia midi authoring standard (General Midi), see the section in the back of the Voyetra manual in the Soundblaster midi upgrade kit. You'll find that midi files exist with all kinds of different mappings, so don't expect them to always sound correct without using some kind of midi file editor, such as Voyetra's Sequencer Plus.

On 800k Mac disk drives, the spin rate of the disk is varied so  that the tracks pass under the head at a constant speed; a slower rotation for the outer tracks, and a faster rotation for the inner tracks.  A PC needs special controller hardware to make this happen.

Seen from a typographically point of view, ATM using PostScript fonts is better than TrueType; the hinting mechanism incorporated in PS is gorgeous. Multilingual users may see the limit of possible different characters in a PS font as problematically; they may have better use of the Unicode features of TT fonts (in Windows NT).  I've seen *lots* of really beautiful and printable-in-small-size PS fonts; I haven't seen those as TT fonts. Most of them are rendering quite inaccurate (in small sizes, esp. as screen fonts). Simply compare TimesNewRoman as a PS font with the TT font; the first looks better.  I am hoping that there will be ATM/NT !
I just moved from Borland C++ 3.0 to Visual C++ today. When I tried to compile my C++ program, it complained a function prototype problem.

An RLE file is just a specially compressed BMP file.  Hope this helps
The Microsoft Windows Device Driver Kit (DDK) documentation (blurb) states that the user must separately acquire the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK), which contains the Windows tools to build the drivers. If we are using Borland C++ with Application Frameworks, is this necessary? We also have a copy of the Microsoft Press Programmer's Reference Library (books) which normally comes with the SDK, and Microsoft Macro Assembler 6.0. Why is the SDK neccessary for development of Virtual Device Drivers?

Please Help if you can.

From what I've heard (pure hearsay) the results of outputting TT fonts as Type 1 is _not_ as good as using high-quality Type 1 fonts in the first place.
Hi.  I am having some interesting problems with my Boca graphics card, which  is based on the Cirrus Logic chipset (I am not sure exactly which one).  The problem is as follows:  If I use any Windows driver at 800x600 except for the 64K-colour driver (ie 16 colour or 256 colour), the image on screen becomes too tall - no amount of resizing on the monitor will make it fit.  And if I use Excel with the 64K- colour driver, it hangs as soon as it loads.  Anyone out there used this card/experienced anything similar.  Please reply by mail, and I will post any solutions here.  Regards    - Simon   --

I'm very pleased with the output (remember that I'm used to imagens, laser and postscript printers at school -- looks very good.  You have to be careful to let it dry before touching it, as it will smudge.  The deskjet is SLOW.  This is in comparison to the other printers I mentioned.

Hi I'm having a problem with TrueType fonts in WIndows 3.1. I have installed the Cyrillic fonts I found on CICA and now a strange thing happens: Sometimes windows uses Cyrillic when its supposed to use Times Roman. Examples: The PC-Tools Backup (version 7.1) has one line of Cyrillic text in its opening banner, the next to last line. Importing a Word for Windows text written in Times into WP5.2 also results in Cyrillic. Does anyone have an idea where to look for the problem? Thanks

It can handle TIFF, GIF, BMP, PCX, and many other formats, displaying them and converting between them.  There is a shareware version of the program; I assume it's available in the Windows areas of the standard anonymous FTP locations (I'd try ftp.cica.indiana.edu).  Log in as ftp, use your username as a password, and look for a program called PSP101.exe or something like that.  I have the registered version, and the only major difference I can detect is that the unregistered version pops up a message when you start the program asking you to please register it.

First off, I haven't used W4WG (but I think that's about to change!).  The problem is the LASTDRIVE command and the way NetWare in general (and in this case NETX in particular) adds drives to the device chain.  Setting LASTDRIVE=Z means there are no "unassigned" (as opposed to "unused") drive letters for NetWare to use, as it tacks its drive mappings -onto the end- of the existing list of drives.  W4WG obviously attaches its network drives to "existing, unused" drive letters.  I'd guess the next thing I'd try is something like LASTDRIVE=M, which on most machines will leave a fair swathe of drives for W4WG and still allow up to 13 NetWare drive mappings as well.
Has anyone had any experience with a replacement comm driver for windows called TurboComm.  I read about it in PCMag Apr 23 1993 and am interested but not willing to shell out the 45 bucks the company wants just to try it out.  It supposedly eleminates the problems that occur during a high speed file transfer and a disk access made by another program running at the same time.  If anyone has any pro/cons about this product, i would be very inter ested to hear them.  Please Email at the address give below.  THANKS.
