These laws written for the Israelites, God's chosen people whom God had expressly set apart from the rest of the world.  The Israelites were a direct witness to God's existence.  To disobey God after KNOWing that God is real would be an outright denial of God and therefore immediately punishable. Remember, these laws were written for a different time and applied only to  God's chosen people.  But Jesus has changed all of that.  We are living in the age of grace.  Sin is no longer immediately punishable by death.  There is repentance and there is salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.  And not just for a few chosen people.  Salvation is available to everyone, Jew and Gentile alike.  God be with you,

We are using pkzip V2.04 and I am interested to hear from people who have used one of the many Windows programs that call these.  Which ones are available and does any one stand out amongst the rest?  Is there a full windows version that does not call the DOS  PKZIP/PKUNZIP commands?

It does not, of course. These are expensive add-ons that drive the price WAY beyond $70. ( I don't know if the same applies to OS/2 )  As far as unix is concerned; There is a free unix, linux, that has cc, ~c++, fortran ( f2c ), Xwindows and many other features besides, with a large number of utilities that can be optionally added. And there is also a free 386BSD I believe. Both these unix's are quite robust. You can check out comp.os.linux  If you don't want to "throw our many down the tubes", you've got to break that list down a little more.

Hello,  I'm trying to get a drum program to work that I downloaded from ftp.cica.indiana.edu in the pub/pc/win3/sounds directory.  It's called drum.zip.    I have an ATI Stereo FX card with the latest Windows drivers installed.  When I try to run the drum program, it reports that a MIDI device is not installed, however the drivers utility in the control panel reports that it is installed.    Anyone have any idea how to set up the MIDI device so that the drum program will work with my setup?  What I'm trying to do is use my computer as a metronome.  Someone suggested that I try one of the drum machines that are circulating around out there.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks,  Terry

Hi, everybody:     I guess my subject has said it all.  It is getting boring looking at those same old bmp files that came with Windows.  So, I am wondering if there is any body has some beautiful bmp file I can share.  Or maybe somebody can tell me some ftp site for some bmp files, like some scenery files, some animals files, etc....  I used to have some, unfortunately i delete them all.  Anyway could me give me some help, please???  thanks a lot!
Sorry about that - don't want to alarm anyone...  I don't think there is any correlation between the crashes and PCTools. I reinstalled Ami Pro, and ran compress again, with no problems. I think problems may have been related to filling my disk until it had 0 bytes (!) left while FTPing, although I would think it wouldn't matter since Ami Pro wasn't running at the time, and I made space available immediately anyways. But, whatever, the cause, it is working now.
Hi there,  Could someone please suggest one of the better _shareware_ replacements for Win3.1's Program Manager and File Manager? And which ftp site are they located at?  Thanks in advance for e-mail response.

Make sure that all your drivers (HIMEM, EMM386, SMARTDRV) are being executed from the DOS directory.  Loss of the cache provided by SMARTDRV could be your problem; if not, I don't know what might cause the startup delay.  My testbed for DBLSPACE (which has a *very* minimal amount of data on the disk so that I don't eat up too much time as I install and uninstall DBLSPACE) boots in  about 20 seconds from the "Starting MS-DOS" herald to the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT execution.  I don't have handy a system with a more realistic volume of data to time.

You have to edit the WIN.INI file and add a couple of lines.  I tried it and it works.  I actually made my Title bar and iconized text, and icon text smaller.  On my monitor it works well. You can select a larger font also.  You edit the WIN.INI file with a font name in your system directory.

Yes Russ, there is.  QuinZip is a Windows version but I don't think it handles all the functions available in the DOS version.  Last I looked QuinZip could be found on the Monash University (Australia) mirror site of Cica, so I'd assume it's still on Cica itself and other mirrors.  Have a look in the /util(s?) directory for a file called qzip21.zip.

The condition of the Ctrl key BEFORE you press the mouse button makes no difference whatsoever.  You have to be holding the Ctrl key when you RELEASE the mouse button if you want to force a copy operation.  Here's a simple experiment.  Select a file and begin to drag it (no Ctrl key).  Notice that the file's icon disappears from the listing window.  Now watch what happens to that icon as you press and release the Ctrl key (keeping the mouse button pressed all the while).  In addition, the icon that you are dragging will show a "+" while you are holding the Ctrl key, indicating that the file is being copied rather than moved.
