I thought it     uses NDIS.

There is no Open entry on the File menu. You can only edit these four files. If you need to edit some other program's .ini file, use Notepad or some other ASCII editor.  I wonder whether Microsoft intended for sysedit to be used, or if it was just a holdover from the testing period and they forgot to take it out. The reason I think this is because there is absolutely no mention in the manuals about this program, and there is no online help for it (just an About entry under the File menu). The program looks like something that was intended for internal use only. It's kind of a shame, though. It would have made a nice multi-file replacement for Notepad.

Hello,  I want a little network for 3 users. All users want to run Windows. The most important things I want for the network are: file-sharing, mail utility, two printers on one of the computers and a fax/modem card on one of the computers. We all want to use each others harddisk.  My idea was to buy three computers (one 486DX and two 386DX). All three have a 40Mb local harddisk, the 486 also has a very large harddisk. All three also have a network card. The 486 is connected to the printers and contains the fax/modem card. And last but not least: Workgroups for Windows.  My questions: - Is this possible? - What exactly are the possibilities and advantages of Workgroups   for Windows? - Will all the computers be fast enough? Behind all three, someone   is working.
I'm attempting to transfer files from my home computer running Windows 3.1 Terminal to a workstation at school.  The file transfer protocol at home is Kermit for binary files.  I'm running Kermit on the workstation at school and setting the file transfer protocol to binary.  I am unable to upload files to school but can download files from school to home.  During download, Terminal displays ther retrying message several times then the message ' Verify you're using the correct protocol'.   	Anyone have any ideas on how to fix?  Either e-mail or post to this group.   Thanks, in advance,

I just got Mathcad 4.0, and the manual is not clear on the matter.  On page 8:  	: 	:  * At least 4 megabytes of memory.

Are there any Workspace Managers out there for Windows 3.1 ? By a Workspace Manager, I mean something like the HP APOLLO Workstations have - multiple workspaces under X.  There is a window at the bottom of the screen which allows you to select different workspaces. It overcomes the problem of having stacks of windows open on the one screen.  Instead, you can spread them amongst different workspaces which act like independent screens, and you can flick between them. Thanks in advance.
I have an Okidata 2410 printer for which I would like to have a printer driver. Has anyone seen such a thing?  There is not one on the Microsoft BBS.

Is there a hot-key for the Windows 3.1 screen saver utility?  If not, is there an easy way to create one?  The reason that I need one is that my dad's company is anal retentive about leaving a computer while the information can be accessed so the employees are not allowed to walk away from the computer until the screen saver kicks in (as if that is terribly secure).  Also, the system manager won't let any software be added so  another program such as LOCK32.ZIP from cica or a different screen saver is out.  Thanks for any and all help.

Since running any GUI over a network is going to slow it down by a fair amount, I expect Windows NT will be multiuser only in the sense of sharing filesystems. Someone will likely write a telnetd for it so one could run character-based apps, but graphics-based apps will have to be shared by running the executables on the local CPU. This is how things are shaping up everywhere: client-server architectures are taking over from the old cpu-terminal setups.   Note that the NeXT does this: you can always telnet into a NeXT and run character-based apps but you can't run the GUI.

Has anyone else experienced problems with windows hanging after the installation of DOS 6?  I have narrowed the problem down to EMM386.  If if remove (or disable) EMM386, windows is ok.  If EMM386 is active, with NOEMS, windows hangs.  If I use AUTO with EMM386, the system hangs on bootup.

I am not sure whether I am here in the right area, but does  anybody here know whether Windows NT does/will include a X  Windows server so that it can run X Window applications  remotely? This is because we are considering at our university  to use PC's for word processing and program development,  whereas the bigger jobs are to be run either on SUN  workstations or on Fujitsu super computers.   Thank you very much in advance, Hein.

I've been reading, with much confusion, about whether or not to use ATManager. Lately, all the packages I've been buying have all included ATManager as a "bonus" I do some desktop publishing using PageMaker and Coreldraw. Coreldraw comes with a nifty laser disk that contains over 200 diff types. Add that to the TTfonts that come with win31 and you have a decent amount of fonts. I print my creations out on an HP4 Postcript, at 600 dpi resolution with the "Resolution Enhancement  Technology" and ..  well ... I get some darn good copies.  So good that there isn't any diff whether or not ATManager is turned on or not. Is it worth it to run ATM at all? Especially with these better printer technologies ... and TT?

This may be an FAQ (if so, please direct me to the known answer) but I     am getting frustrated and looking for help.      I am running Win 3.1 with NDW 2.2 on a 486sx with 8 meg of memory and a     6 meg perm swap file and am getting exceedingly frustrated that my     applications are not giving back system resources when I close them.      When I load windows I start with about 83% resources available but many     of the application programs I run regularly (WPWIN 5.2, VB 2.0, WINQVT     2.8, Lotus Organizer, etc.) seem to not return all their resources when     I exit them.  After a day or two of work I often find myself down under     50% of available resources even when I have no applications other than     my shell running.      I am aware this is a known problem; what I am looking for are some     suggestions of what I might do to mitigate it.        1. What software is the culprit?  Win 3.1, NDW, my applications?  Are     some modes of Win 3.1 (standard, real, enhanced) better than others at     plugging this leak?      2. Are their system.ini switches i can set to help plug this leak?      3. Do people know of patches or third party software that help with     this?  Seems like increasing or better managing system resources is a     great market for a third party memory company like QEMM.      4. If I run Progman instead of NDW will the leak subside?  (I was     hoping that NDW 2.2 would have plugged this, but it seems no different     than 2.0 in how it deals with memory and resources.)      5. When I am writing VB code are there things I can do to make it less     likely my code will eat resources?      6. Any other suggestions that I don't know enough to ask for     specifically?      Thanks for your help.  As this is a common problem and I have seen only     a little discussion of it on the net there are probably others who     would like to read answers so please publish here rather than sending     me email.
