Well, if it is one of those that comes with windows, just highlight the  item by clicking once on it, click on 'File' and then on 'Properties'. You should see a box which says 'Change icon'. Click on it. You are going to be presented with some icons (sometimes just one). If you don't like any of those presented, click on the 'browse' box, and look for the file 'moricons.dll' Select it. Browse through the icons presented, and just double click on your desired icon.  If you want to replace it with an icon from some other icon manager, say iconPower for instance, open the icon manager at the bottom of your screen, where it will not block the application icon you wish to replace. When you have found your desired icon, click on it once, and while holding the mouse button down, pull this icon over the one you wish to change. And thats it!  regards  ___________________________________________________________________________ | Kan Mongwa            \ mongwa@acsu.buffalo.edu   \                     / | State Univeristy       \  BITNET   v143wxkp@ubvms  \   HUMPTY DUMPTY   / | of New York @ Buffalo   \            c143wxkp@ubvm  \                 /

I have a modest system of aliases/macros that enables me to download mail from a public access UNIX system to my MS-DOS box. I read and reply to the mail with a MS Windows 3.1 based editor.  Everything works peachey keen as long as the author of the message has maintained his text at 80 col. max. width. Sometimes I get slightly wider messages that run off-screen, so I have to use the cursor/slider to read the whole thing.  I'm using NDW Deskedit mainly, but I've experienced the same prob with all other MS WIndows editors. I've fiddled with word wrap settings in the various editors, but to no avail. I know I'm missing something very basic in editor setup, but what is it?  Oh yeah, MS Word for Windows converts everything flawlessly but for what I'm looking for that's like using a tank to crack walnuts.  I'd really like to have an editor setup that would display all incoming ASCII files in a readable format to my screen.  Thanks in advance,

Time for a new discussion, maybe ? I asked in these groups some time ago what about the TC++/VE, and got no answers, so I decided to try. My brother who lives in the US bought and sent it to me, and I'm still trying to get used to it.  Before I put my good/bad points list, consider I am a Turbo Pascal/DOS programmer, and sometimes try to make something in Unix with C (just some exercises from university). I used to make some programs in Microsoft C version 5 (!!) because we used some third-party libraries that required that.  - I like Borland. It seems to me much more easier to use than Microsoft,   specially the debugger. I tried to learn Codeview sometimes, but never   felt confortable with it. - TC++ V/E seems very nice to create simple apps, like the examples on the   ObjectWindows book. So far, no problems. Lets see next week or so, when I   will try something more complex. - It works nice even in my "weak" machine 386/16Mhz, 6 Mb Ram.   But.....  - The manual for the Resource Workshop seems to be from a different version    from the Workshop itself. Some of the windows that appear on the manual   have more itens than in the manual. - I think I will run into trouble since I got this TC++/VE from my brother   as a present. I didnt wanted to buy the Japanese version because 1) I    suspect that the manuals will be in Japanese :-( and 2) I believe it   will be far more expensive here. So he bought it as a present and sent to   me, I send the registration card to the Japanese branch of Borland, but...   who knows.  So, I'd like to ask some questions for you all;  - I know that there are some Microsoft guys around here in this group. Is   there anybody from Borland ? Is there any e-mail address that we can    contact the technical support ? Not for stupid questions, but to ask   for example, why the RW manual seems to be different from the RW itself ? - Is there anybody else using it around here ? - Will the book of Petzold be useful for me ? I intend to use RW and ProtoGen   to make the interfaces and then work on the code itself.   Answers to my e-mail or comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools, please.  Thanks in advance,

If this is true why does windows report the memory is >available to me if it's not going to use it? > >any takers? > >James  Well, someone at Microsoft told you wrong.  Windows will use a swap file larger than the recommended size.  Last summer I went to a Microsoft Windows 3.1 Technical Workshop and they distributed A LOT of information that the general public might not be aware of.  Anyway in the main book they handed out they have a section on "Creating larger than recommended swapfile".  I'll quote the information    If you create a permanent swapfile larger than the recommended size, you   will receive a message telling you that Windows will not use anything   larger than the recommended size.  THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS INCORRECT, we   will allow the use of the larger swapfile, up to four times the amount   of RAM on your machine.  So as you see, Microsoft does know that the information is incorrect.  You probably just ran into some doofball who was new on the job and was only telling you what little he knew.  Be that what it may, I would really suggest to everyone to take the opportunity to go to these Technical Workshops.  They aren't actually incredibly in-depth, but you do get a lot of material about bugs and optimization straight from those in the know.  Besides that they offer you HUGE discounts on software.  If I remember correctly, you could pick up Word 2.0, Excel 4.0, or whatever their presentation program is for $130. That is the full blown version, not an upgrade or educational version.  You could also pick up Microsoft Office for $500 or something like that.  Myself I sprang for Word.  Well, hope that was helpful to someone.  And besides that I hope someone will go to a workshop and save a little money.  And if anyone at Microsoft is reading this -- I really love your products. I need a job once I graduate also, can we work something out?  ;-)
I'm looking for some recommendations for screen capture programs.  A couple of issues ago, PC Mag listed as Editor's Choices both Conversion Artist and Hijaak for Windows.  Anyone have any experience with those or some others?  I'm trying to get an alpha manual in the next few days, and I'm not making much progress with the screen shots.  :^(   I'm currently using DoDot and I'm about to burn it and the disks it rode it on.  It's got a lot of freaky bugs and *oversights* that are driving me crazy.  Tonight it decided that for any graphic it writes out as a TIFF file that's under a certain arbitrary size, it will swap the left and right sides of the picture [!].  Usually it confines itself to not copying things to the clipboard (so I have to save and load pix for editing in paintbrush) or crashing every hour or so.   The one nice thing it has, though, is it's "dither" option.  You'd think that this would turn colors into dots, which it does if you go from, say, 256 colors to 16 colors.  But if you go from 256 or 16 colors to B&W, you can set a threshold level for which colors turn to black and which turn to white.  For me, this is useful because I can turn light grays on buttons to white, and the dark grays to black, and thereby preserve the 3d-effect on buttons and other parts of the window.   If you understood my description :^) can you tell me if another (less buggy!) program can do this as well?   Much thanks for any help.  ---------------------------------Signature--------------------------------- David DelGreco                       | "What lies behind us and what lies Technically a Writer                 | before us are tiny matters compared delgreco@rahul.net                   | to what lies within us."                                      |         - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Don't know on the last one.  And why they are considering using WinBench as a test, they may want to read everything Steve Gibson has said on the subject in his InfoWorld column the past couple of month.  In short, virtually every board manufacturer cheats on the test by writing things in the driver that is there only to make the board appear faster on the WinBench suite.  So the WinBench score has no bearing in reality to how cards stack up on real world tasks.  In the last PC-Magazine they benchmarked some of the new accelerators, and admitted that many of them 'cheated' on WinBench.  Interestingly, they 'allowed' one type of cheating behaviour (caching for bitblt operations, no matter how unreal), yet did not allow a couple of other types of cheating behaviour that some of the cards used.  At least one card was eliminated from the "Editor's Choice" because of cheating on the benchmark.
Hi, folks,  I have a question:          How can I generate a PCX file using Word for Windows (2.0) ?  I know I can select a Postscript printer driver to get a PS file, but how can I generate a PCX file ? Is there a printer capture utility for windows that ever exists ? Or a utility to transfer PS format to PCX format, or TIFF format?  Please reply by E-MAIL, I will give a summary. Thanks.
Hi! I was wondering if anyone out there could help me. I have an error message that goes:    What does it mean?  I am running MS windows 3.1.  Thanks in advance
Greetings!     I've had a bunch of problems with the 24x.  Opening a DOS window on the desktop can occasionally result in the windows "blowing up" into a set of horizontal lines, hashing the entire desktop.  Nothing can recover this  except to completely exit from Windows.  The other irritating problem is that windows that scroll often overwrite lines rather than actually scrolling, as if a CR was printed without an LF.  This seems ONLY to happen to communications programs, but I can't nail it down any further than that. Note, though, that the comms programs don't have to be communicating.  Even just scrolling back through capture buffers or displaying disk files in these programs causes the problem.        Prior to the latest rev of Word Perfect for Windows, WPwin would sometimes blow up, and the error message would cite the video driver as the source of the problem.  I've still seen this, but only once or twice with WPwin 5.2.

I'm waiting for June first to roll around when I can then get my  hands on PC-Solaris...Unix for the Intel chip!  I know that there are many of other unix possibilities out there, but this includes the Wabi (Windows API Binary Interface...I think) technology that wil run Windows apps straight outta da box.  If this flies in enhanced mode, then here's another contender to look out for in the corporate/education market.  Too big and complex for the home front...Windows 4/Mac Sys7 will take those while Win4Wkgrps - NT - OS/2 will fight it out for the small-to-mid businesses.  However, once the PowerPC becomes available (especially in laptop/notebook form) then these will migrate into all markets....the ability to connect up to a unix machine at work and yet still run Windows/Mac apps at home is going to be real attractive to alot of people!!!  Just my predictions.  Mike

I have (had) several problems with the card. - Applications crashed when moving the mouse (VGA mode). Fixed by removing   the line STACKS=0,0 from config.sys. The default value STACKS=9,256   does just fine. - Random white pixels all over the screen when moving the mouse, in a   256 color graphical mode (the hardware cursor modes). Fixed by turning   off the hardware scroll ("24xmode scrolloff") before entering the graphics   mode. This also fixed the problem of the windowed DOS boxes under windows.   With the hardware scroll enabled, applications write garbage outside the   window. - The screensavers do not remove the cursor in 256 color modes (hardware   cursor). I don't know if this is a windows problem or a driver problem.   Clearly there should be two types of cursor removing functions: a remove-   for-draw, which can be ignored for hardware cursors and a remove-   unconditionally. Do other cards with hardware cursors have the same problem? - The VESA driver does not support the 640x480x16M TrueColor mode. (Universal   VESA drivers do not run at all).
I have a problem with the wallpaper on my desktop, in 1024x768x256 mode.   For bitmap files bigger than about 512k (slightly less sometimes depending  on the exact dimensions), the wallpaper display is badly corrupted.  The  rest of the desktop is fine.  For wallpaper bitmaps smaller than this, I  have no problem.  I have a friend who has an 800k bitmap which he has no  problems with, so it is possible.  It is also possible to display these bitmaps using CShow in 1024x768x256 mode with no problem, so the video  card is not at fault.  How can I remedy this?  My system:       386DX40, 4Mb ram.      DOS 6.0, Windows 3.1.      Oak 1Mb 077 Video card, 1024x768x256 mode, using supplied drivers.      Windows has a permanent 11,288kb swap file.

When you need more dynamic memory you can allocate data on the global heap.  You can forget most of what was written about memory management. Under 3.1 you have paged virtual memory. You can lock every block without hampering the memory manager. You can use far pointer everytime without always Lock/ Unlocking the memory block.  An besides: DLL's are mostly just disguised EXE's, that happen to be called by another task.   Karl.
Hello, 	I'm having problems printing SPANISH characters with WFW2.  I was using the Celtic True type which has the accented characters, and used insert symbol to put in in the document.  However, when I put it in the doc, I get a big square character, and then it prints out just the same (to my dismay, thinking that was just the way it worked). Can anyone tell me if and how they have printed Spanish characters?  I know WP 5.1 has this built-in, but I do not recall ever seeing this option on WFW2.
