I would like to change all of the system fonts in windows... I have a  program that will generate system fonts from truetype, but i was  wondering if there is a problem to help you set up all your system fonts.  Also, how do i change the icon text color... all of my icon text is black, and i want to change it... couldn't find any options in control panel or in win.ini  brad  cain brad@bach.udel.edu

Ok, I have a problem that I thought you guys/gals might know about....  I'm running a 286dx-25 with a 85mb hdd.  I also have windows 3.1, but hardly any dos application will run out it.  Also, when I do a "mem" command, it says that I have used up 58kb out of 640kb of conventional memory, zero from upper level memory, and all 385kb of my ems memory. And to top it off, I can't load any device drivers into upper memory. Do I just need more memory?  Also, why would it use up ems memory instead of upper memory?

I've pursued and researched this question over the last month or so because I have the same requirements you do......and the long and short of it is that the windows mouse drivers don't accept mice at any but com1 and com2 using irq4 or irq3 unless you buy special drivers from someone who has them.....I've talked to Mouse Systems who say their driver doesn't support other than com1 and com2 as above , but who claim to be releasing one that will SOON!??.  The other alternative seems to be possible, but in one case prohibitively expensive, i.e. 4 port card for $600??????!!, and in the other, the author(s) of PowerBBS for Windows claim to have a 4 port serial card with buffered 16550 UARTS and drivers for windows to match (i.e. com3 irq5) for $120......  The second paragraph is hearsay, because I haven't checked it out yet.....but intend to as soon as I can free up $120 <g>

What I did: I installed DOS, Windows and CPBackup (functionally the same as your Norton, for the purposes of this discussion), and used the  DOS "backup" command on just that much.  To restore, I boot to the  "system" diskette, and use DOS "restore" to read in that much, then boot to windows and restore my full backups using CPB (Norton, in your case), overwriting what I've just restored.  That allows me to keep this skeletal Windows essentially unchanged, with all my customization on the "real" copy done using the 3rd-party backup utility.  >   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.  Seems possible, if you can put skeletal versions of DOS and your backup utility on a "system" floppy.  Then you could restore it all on one "go".

Please reply via EMail...  When I use the terminal software for Windows such as TERMINAL.EXE or  Crossttalk, it doesn't use the whole window.  I mean, when the software's window size is max, it still scrolls around the 2/3 of window.  It does not use whole window.  I set "stty rows 30", but still the same. Scrolls at 2/3 from the top of the windows.  Could anyone tell me how to setup these software to use whole window?
A couple of weeks ago I posted a question concerning communicating between VB and MSACCESS using DDE. The answers I received at that time allowed me to get a prototype of my project working. However, during this process I have come up with new problems.  1) There seems to be a limit of 255 characters for a DDE Topic string. Is this inherent in all DDE systems or just peculiar to MSACCESS or VB?  2) It is easy to query an Access database from VB using the DDE SQL command, (provided the above limitation is overcome by using short field and table names) but how is one meant to update a database?    a) A DDE SQL UPDATE command does not seem to work.    b) Initiating an Access macro using a DDE Execute command from VB cannot       be used because when the macro requests information from VB using a       second DDE channel the programs dead lock until time- outs occur.       (The VB to Access channel has to close before the Access to VB channel       is initiated, I guess.)    c) Access does not allow VB to DDE POKE the information.      The way I eventually managed to update a database was by sending key-    strokes from VB to Access using the SendKeys command. This technique has    the problem that Access cannot be minimised and it must always be in a    state ready to respond to the sequence of key-strokes VB sends.  Are all the above statements correct or have I made incorrect assumptions? Are there any better work arounds to the above? Are there any signs of an ODBC driver for Access?

Hi all,  I have a DLL in which I Register a class and create a window of that class type.  Both calls require a module instance handle, hInstance.  Petzold's 3.1 book says that it is best to use the module instance handle of the calling program, not the module instance handle of the DLL (page 934).  I have two questions:  1)  Is there a way to find out the module instance handle of a module?  2)  What are the possible problems with using the instance handle of     the DLL?

However, neither company just up and sends consultants to client sites.  Both companies charge very high hourly rates for on-site consulting unless the client has already paid an annual service contract.

Hi Everyone,  I would like to get an example program(source code) to get started with a simple editor (similar to windows dialog editor, but lot simplified) . Can someone point me to a source such as a programming windows book, or example program comes with Windows SDK (from Microsoft or Borland). I would greatly appreciate it.  All I want to do is to be able to place a edit control or combobox or a listbox on a window and be able to drag and resize.  If anyone has written similar program and don't mind sharing code or ideas,  I would appreciate it very much.  Thnx in advance, Manu Das
Hello,  I thought this problem might have something to do with Windows 3.1 SMARTDRV and a VESA video card...any ideas???

Sometimes it is after printing a document, sometimes after using the  mouse, and sometimes just when I am sitting there.  Twice when it happened, the  machine rebooted and sounded seven beeps.  I looked in the documentation and  the seven beep code meant a problem with interrupts.  The machine has the  following configuration and files:  486DX-33 AMI BIOS 5.25 and 3.5 floppies 170 Meg IDE hard drive 256k cache Microsoft compatible mouse on com1 Citizen GSX-145 on lpt1 NI SuperVGA Monitor with VESA Windows Accelerator Card w/ 1Meg Two VESA slots Windows 3.1 DOS 5.0  CONFIG.SYS ========== DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE FILES=20 BUFFERS=20 STACKS=9,128  AUTOEXEC.BAT ============ @ECHO OFF LH C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE 1024 PROMPT $p$g PATH C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\MOUSE LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE SET TEMP=C:\DOS LH C:\DOS\DOSKEY    When the machine freezes, I can't use the mouse or keyboard or use Ctrl-Alt-Del  to reboot.

If you are planning on using this on a regular basis, conncting the printer to file can become bothersome because Windows then asks you for the filename that you want to create. I've found that putting a line in system.ini in the ports section with just a path and filename works. The only problem is that if you send more than one job, the second one deletes the first.

One difference will _probably_ be the same difference as between OS2 and Windows 3.x now--one will likely have a lot of software available for it and one won't (emulation, with the inevitable incompatibilities that crop up in spite of all the contrary claims, just doesn't count when you _have_ to use a certain software package that doesn't quite run properly under the emulation...). Developers want to channel their resources toward a platform that has a large installed base, and in a case like that the platform that is most successfully _marketed_ (regardless of its relative sophistication) will win.
To clarify:    VC++ *is* considered an upgrade for C7.  There will be no product called C 8.0 (although the command-line compiler of VC++ lists its version as 8.00).  C7 is not a "DOS"-only product -- it is a C/C++ compiler capable of producing executables for DOS or Windows, as is VC++ (Pro. Ed.).  The (significant) difference is that VC++ comes with many Windows-hosted tools (ide, etc) which assist developers in creating Windows executables much more quickly (basically by automating the thousands of lines of boilerplate code).  Initial impressions have been very favorable.  Everyone who is a registered user of C7 should have received a considerable amount of info regarding the specifics of C7. If you haven't, call Microsoft and I'm sure they'd be happy to send you some!
