I recently purchased a Diamond Stealth 24 Video card and received the wrong drivers.  Does anyone know where I can ftp the windows video drivers for the Stealth 24. I tried the drivers at cica and they don't work. The right drivers are on the Diamond BBS but the file is almost 1 meg and it would take a while to download them at 2400 baud.  Any information would be appreciated.  Please contact me at doug@sun.sws.uiuc.edu  Thank you

Click on the Change Icon box and tell it the icon filename.

I am looking for a WIN31 driver (or set) for my Diamond  Speedstar 1MB video card. Does anybody know of an archive site that has these? I looked at CICA and it had drivers for the Stealth card and for Generic ET4000 cards but not one  specifically for the Speedstar. Is there one? Or has Diamond dropped the Speedstar out of the driver development loop.  Thanks for any info,  Rob --

You're right.  You cannot read or write a Mac or Apple II 800K 3.5" disk or Apple II 5.25" disk without extra hardware. However, Mac 1.44MB disks can be read and written in a PC 3.5" HD drive with software only.
I am running Windows 3.1, Windows for Work Groups and just loaded Dos 6.  What`s happening appears as a graphics problem with File Manager.  I've added some menubar buttons but there appears to be a gray boxed region that covers the top 2/3'rds of the button row.    These buttons are in a row below the pulldown menus.  the pulldown menus look fine, and the disk label region looks fine, but you only see the bottom few pixels of the task buttons.  Anyone else experience this?  Thanks.

And as for fonts with thousands of glyphs, right know these are a liabiliaty rather than a great new thing.  Reason is that a font with 3000 characters is very large, and if you can only access 224 of them you are paying a heavy price in downloading time and printer storage.  (And at the moment there is only one program of that uses `partial font downloading')  	For instance, all or our fontpack 2 TT fonts have the Mac/Windows 	char set in them. The metrics of the fonts are such that if the font 	is brought over to the mac the user will have access to the full mac 	char set. 	  Yes and T1 text fonts all have the `ISO Adobe' character set, which is a superset of Windows ANSI and Macintosh standard roman enocding.  The question is whether you can get at the glyphs.  In Windows, for example, you cannot get at the ligatures `fi' anfd `fl' (both T1 and TT)even though a font may very well have them.  ANd, while it is somewhat painful to reencode a Type 1 font and to create a new Windows metric file (PFM) for it, there are utilities out there to allow you do this.  How do I reencode a TrueType font?  How can I get at the `fi' and `fl' ligatures in Windows (or on the Mac)?

I have just upgraded from a Trident TVGA9000 to an ATI Graphics Ultra (the old mach8 chip).  I am quite pleased with the performance so far, but have one problem.  When using windows in 800x600, I have noticed that the  tile bars and scroll bars are significantly larger than they were when I was using the Trident card.  Is there a setting in my .ini files that I can change to make these smaller ?  I could not find the FAQ for this list...  		--Mike

It has been reported previously and there is a fix.  Apparantly the problem only occurs when TAB characters are used immediately preceding the equation frame.  The work around when equations are expected to touch the right margin is to delete at least one preceding TAB and use SPACE to align the frame (or use set frame where placed w/no text wrap around).  Unforutnately, once the page run-on has occured you are hosed. So the moral of the story is use only SPACE characters to align equation frames.  Hope this helps the rest of you who have already contacted me with this  problem.

Walther, I'd have a look at the maximum resolution the combination of the video card and screen would have without flickering. I'd only suggest using the color screen if it does 800*600 without flickering. If this is not too small for your tastes at a 14".... Personally I'd prefer the mono-screen as I always have quite a few windows open. If you only run one program at a time or rarely switch maybe the color 'surplus' is worth trading in  the smaller size. If you want to develop programs you will always have to check the colors. I used a 14" mono screen (worst of both worlds) and was surprised how the colors looked I choose on a color screen.
Has anyone else observed this behaviour and if so, what have you done to cure it?  One workstation in a WfW network goes deaf to any form of communication from other workstations until it goes out on the network itself. From then on other workstatons can interact with it until some time later when it goes deaf  again.
I've got a probelm with printing envelops on my deskjet 550C from Word for Windows.  History: when I had a Deskjet 500, I had to modify the macro so that it would disable reverse printing since there seemed to be a bug that interferred with printing envelops.  That bug is still present, however...  Now: the problem I have is that my DeskJet 550 print driver (came with the printer I bought in December) still wants to print the envelops in PORTRAIT mode.  However, the DeskJet 550 feeds envelops the from the narrow end (i.e. landscape mode).  How do I get the printer to print the envelops in the correct orientation?  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not post this to the net since:     (a) due to end of the semester cruch, I can't keep up on these groups, and (b) I will summarize the best answer(s) to the net anyhow!

I just hope MS keeps doing > what they do best getting usable productive software to the masses.  Personally, I'll be blasphemous and say that if Microsoft keeps doing what it does so well, I hope to see much harsher/stricter copyright and patent laws for computer algorithms, concepts, interfaces, and other intellectual properties to protect real innovators. I'd hate to be one who actually does innovate, and then have Microsoft come in like a huge vulture and use their brute mass (development staff, marketing, etc) to get fat off of my innovation. I don't have all that much sympathy for Apple's complaint against Microsoft, since they just took the ideas from Xerox's PA Research Center when the Federal government forced Xerox to disclose their patents over antitrust fears. However, for other companies and individuals who have a great idea, yet get it "borrowed" by larger corporations who can afford to quickly bring it to market, without any licensing from the original innovator, I feel much sympathy.
