If you happen to be running the new msdos 6, you could use multi- setup to provide a menu with a menu choice for each person using the machine ... power up, select your name,  the menu will use your personal sections of config.sys and autoexec.bat thus setting up the path, then running your windows copy!

I installed Windows for Workgroups on my network and I'm having problems  mapping drives in the file-manager.  Situation: If I put LASTDRIVE = Z in my config.sys, NETX will run but I can't access drive f: to log in to Novell.   If I don't put LASTDRIVE = Z in my config.sys I can't access other W4WG  drives from the file-manager.  It seems that there should be a way to make NETX work with the LASTDRIVE =  statement in my Config.Sys.  I would appreciate any help.  It's probably an easy problem that all you  Windows guru's solved many many moons ago...  Thanks, Tom Bilan
I would like to prevent our Windows users from using ctl-alt-del from within windows. I know there must be a way to do it. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, Mike Glynn mike.glynn@business.gatech.edu
I have several people sharing my machine and would like to set up separate environments under Windows for each of them.  Is there some way of setting things up separate desktops/directories for each of them?  Ideally, I'd like totally separate virtual machines.  I'd be willing to settle for less, and may end up having batch files that copy .ini files around depending on who wants to use the machine.

You can set up different config.sys and autoexec.bat commands for each user, and they just have to select their menu option on bootup.  Then you can have the autoexec.bat copy the win.ini and system.ini files and change directories for them.  When they exit windows, it can copy back generic .ini files if you want.  This is the only way I can think of.  There may be some programs somewhere that allow you to do this better, though using DOS 6 allows each person to have a custom config.sys and autoexec.bat.

Using Amish Launch as your shell, you can reduce GDI memory usage by as much as 15% over Progman, NDW 2, DAshboard, and other graphical type icon based and other shells.  Also, nesting, and full hot-key global support is offered, something no other shells have at this time.   Ted Matsumura, President Amish Software, Inc.

But here's the low-down:  WINZIP is a *great* progra, *as long as you only unzip*.  It lets you vew files, unzip only selected files, and even puts the files in a /checkout directory, and creates a "checkout" .grp and group if you want to check the program out.  It even prompts for deletion of these on exit, if you didn;t like the program.  *HOWEVER* (big however over here).  I have problems zipping.  I don't konw specifics on this, or ammount of consistency, but sometimes when I "zip" a few files, or add a file to a .zip, dos will violate something or other, and I'll be asked (in a kind, micro$oft kind of way) to quit all applications, quit windows, and restart my computer.  I don't know (as I said) how consistent this is, as I jdont' zip much (and when I do, now I just go to dos and use it from there, or just use the "run" cmd) but I *do* know it's happened when I added files to an existing .zip file, *and* when I created a new .zip file, using selected files only. I don't know if it's happened when I zip an entire dir.  Still, it has a rather nice interface, and quite useful "unzip"ing functions.  If the above is fixed, I'll be the first to register the new ver.  (as for now, a good old, "run-->unzip *.zip" will work.

Is there a 768x1024 Trident driver for windows anywere.   This mode is supported by the drivers fo OS/2 but I have not been able to find it for Windows.  (768x1024 means 768 wide and 1024 high as opposed to 1024x768)  Any help is appreciated.
Word 2.0c doesn't show the period-centred character to indicate spaces if I use the TTFonts from CorelDraw.  Our editors need to be able to see how many spaces are in text but the character  displayed is a large hollow box.  They overlap each other and characters on each side, which is useless.  I believe the character used by W4W is the period-centred (0183). This character shows up with the windows Charmap display as the hollow box which tends to confirm this.  I have edited the corel font with Fontmonger and changing the font graphics for the 0183 character makes no difference to the font output in Charmap or W4W. Altering the paragraph (0182) or cedilla (0184) does alter their font graphics displayed however!!  Is the W4W character used to indicate spaces the period-centred character?   Has anyone been able to get this character displayed from a CorelDraw TTF?

It is its own OS, with (Billy Gates assures us) true  multi-tasking/multithreading, meets DOD security specs, will run win3.1  programs as well as DOS programs, has multi-processor support, and is primarily a Server program.  It's overhead is too high for it to be economical for most users. 	Speaking of overhead, it requires at least a 386 with 16 megs of RAM.   It iwll run with 12, but that's like running OS/2 2.0 with 4 megs.  And that's  just to run it.  Also, I have heard that the system files take up 30-50 Megs,  and it is recommended that your drive be a half gig!  The SKD is distributed  on CD-ROM.  Chicogo is what I want to use.  It is, like NT, a true OS with thrue  multitasking and multithreading, but has much smaller hardware requirements,  and does not meet DOD security specs (but that's okay since it will probably  be more of a client OS).  there are a few otehr differences, but those are the  main ones.  There was an article about Chicogo in PC Week last August. 	The Chicogo and NT development groups at Micro$oft are in intense  competition, so it is said.  However, I think a different relationship will  arise: NT will be the server (*N*etowrk *T*echonology), Chicogo will be the  client machine.  It is entirely possible for different OS's to work together,  partly because Chicogo is just a small NT (think of it that way, anyway).   (Novell Netware creates an OS on the server that is truly not DOS, so don't scorn the concept.) 	Anyway, don't expect it soon.  Windows 4 and DOS 7 are supposed to be  released next year (read: see it in 95), so I expect that Chicogo won't be out  til '96. 	With luck, I'll be proven wrong! =)  Rob

We are searching for one or two instructors for tutorials on advanced Windows programming under NT.  If anyone has attended a course that was very good, we would really appreciate recommendations.  Please email me directly at paller@fedunix.org; I don't get to see these newsgroups often enough.  Thanks in advance for any help.
I would be very appreciative if someone would answer a few  questions about Windows for Workgroups.  I currently have Novell Netware Lite which does not work with Windows very well and is a conventional memory hog (ver. 1.1). I am considering moving all our machines to W4WG.  Q1:  How much conventional ram does W4WG use over and above the      driver for the network card?  Q2:  If I have a Novell NE2000 card, are the LSL and IPX drivers      still needed?  Q3:  Does W4WG do a license check over the network to ensure each      machine is running its own licenced copy of W4WG? (Note: I do      not want to break the license agreement and I will buy a copy      of W4WG for each of our machines, it is just that I would like      to try it out first to see if it meets our needs. Returning one      opened copy is much easier than returning N opened copies.)  Q4:  If you buy the upgrade to Windows 3.1 for W4WG does it replace      all of Win 3.1 as you install it or does it depend on current      Win 3.1 files?  Q5:  If I install Windows NT on my server when it comes out, will I have      any troubles with the W4WG machines?  When I started this message, I was going to ask only 2 questions but I got carried away. I'll stop now ;-).  I look forward to your replies.  Al

We here on the net are not mainstream computer users.  A decent GUI for all variations of Unix? Lessee... what about Motif? Or the stuff from MIT? (twm comes to mind...) those are pretty standard. Heck, an xwindows program runs like it likes to -- all the end user has to really know is how to manipulate the actual windows with the mouse, and since it is a GUI, it's *graphical* and a bit easier to figure out. (Something the windows people have been pressing down our throats for some time now...)  The thing I fear is that there will be a gap between the normal users running windows (all flavors) and the other "power" users running Unix and other more advanced OSes. At least right now, DOS is still pretty much king. I can bring a copy of my latest whiz-bang programming demo over to my friends house, and since we both run DOS, he can enjoy it too.
