I am having something very unusual happen.  First  some background on my system.  I have a Mitsubishi 63 meg Hard Drive,  and am running Smartdrv (the version that comes with Windows 3.1) on  it.  I rarely use Windows.  I use a program called Disk Technician  Gold v1.14 to do diagnostics live time on my hard drive.  It works by  having a device driver detect whenever more than one read is  necessary for a file, or if there is anything else is wrong with it,  and minor problems are fully checked out upon rebooting.  My hard  drive is notorious for bad sectors.  I usually end up with 8 new bad  sectors a week.           Here's what happened:  I ran a program, and DTG broke in with  an Emergency Warning and recommended I reboot.  It gave me this  message twice before the program was fully loaded.  I exited the program  and did just this.  DTG went through its bootup process, examining  for new errors etc., and a screen popped up and said something about  sectors for a brief period of time.           I then went back to the program, executed it again, and the  exact same error was detected.  I rebooted and tried again, and the  same error happened again.  So, I removed DTG from memory, and went  to the program to see if I could detect anything wrong.  Sure enough  there was a number of read attempts.  So I rebooted and reloaded DTG,  but removed the cache.  I executed the program.  No read errors,  either audible or detected by DTG.  I quit the program, loaded the  cache, and ran the program again.  The errors were detected.           Ok, so the errors are there, and DTG detects but doesn't fix  them, when the cache is loaded.  When the cache is not loaded there are  no errors.  So, to see if the cache was interfering with any other  files, I went into xtree gold and tagged all files, and searched them  for a random string (in other words, I wanted the program to  completely read every file on my hard drive).  Before I got through  the c's DTG had detected at least six errors and recommended I reboot.           Does anybody, have any idea why Smartdrv is causing misreads on  my hard drive?  Oh, there are exactly two misreads per file, and 1 in  about every 100 files are affected.             I originally posted this message to Disk Technician Corp.'s  system, but I figured someone out in netland may know enough about  smartdrv to help me out.
Here is an annoying problem. Whenever I save an icon which contains dark colors like dark red or dark purple, these colors are converted to the bright colors. This happens with every icon editor including the image editor that came with SDK. I don't have this problem with .BMP files either; only with .ICO files or icon libraries. The problem is with the icon colormap field in the icon file header. Checking the file with a binary editor, I can see that the masks are OK. By editing the colormap manually (copying from another icon that I didn't edit) I can fix the colors. Does anybody know what may be causing this problem?   Thanks.

What exactly does the windows bitmap format look like? I mean, how is the data stored: width, height, no. of colours, bitmap data? I couldn't find anything in ths user manual, is there any other reference material which would give me this information?

What version of WinFAX do you have?  The newest version (3.0) has an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) built in... what this means is that it can take a fax (ie, a letter) and convert it into ASCII so that one can edit the document w/o re-typing it... However, I found that the OCR that comes packaged with WINFAX does not work as well as OMNIpage Professional (also by Delrina software)... So, once again, WinFAX ver. 3.0 has what you are looking for... Good luck!  >Regards,
I had a similar problem - try changing the netmask to 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.254.0

Diamond's BBS is 1-408-730-1100 - according to the manual I got with my Stealth-24.

By night I'm an Amiga user. By day I work with windows. I'd be much more  comfortable in windows if I had Two things.  1. A good Personal information manager. You know- a calendar, address book, reminder list etc... rolled into one clean interface.  2. A good file manager. Microsofts is very poor by my standards. How about one that has a left and right window and allows file operations  between them. being able to launch programs from the same interface would be nice. as well as text reading and graphics viewing. Those who are familiar with Directory Opus on the Amiga know what I'm looking for.  If anyone can steer me towards an FTP sight with these programs it would make my transition to windows a lot easier.

If a win app locks up for some reason,  ctrl-alt-del may be the only way to kill the app and get back to Windows.   Granted it doesn't work all that often but it has come in handy on occasion. I consider it pretty carefully before I disabled that keystroke.  Just a  thought.
Are there any X window servers that can run under MS-Windows??  I only know of Deskview but have not seen it in action.  Are there any others??  Thanks in advance.

PC Week recently printed a rumor that Microsoft's Excel development group does its development under OS/2.  Another trade rag did an article recently about a group doing Windows development on Sun SPARCstations with SoftPC to test out their work.  SCO Unix is and has been a reasonably popular development platform for DOS, Windows, and even OS/2 apps.  DOS and Windows are simply not robust or stable enough for development work, IMHO, and apparently others agree.
This may be a simple question but:  We have a number of PC's which we use to link to a mainframe using  Novell LAN WorkPlace for DOS (via WIndows 3.1).  Now, to make life easier for us we are thinking of using Windows for Workgroups to allow file sharing across our PC network.   Now does anyone know if it is possible to use W4WG and Lan Workplace for DOS at the same time.   ie Can I access a file on another PC while being logged on to the mainframe at the same time, simultaneously.  Any help well appreciated.

I assumed he was referring to OS/2's 32-bit flat model addressing while DOS (and therefore Windows) use 20-bit segmented addressing.  As a programmer, I agree that segmentation unnecessarily complicates things.  It's annoying, too. But when just a Windows user, I don't think about it much.  And, I doubt many other people think about it (or even care) when just writing a document, calcing a spreadsheet, etc...It works and they get their work done.  Just a neutral comment: It's funny, I think, how arguments about Windows vs OS/2 sound so very similar to arguments about Atheism vs Christianity or something like that. It's somehow very personal to people.  Convictions are irrational and there's nothing wrong with that--it's just...interesting.

Hello all:  I was wondering, is the "Kermit" package (the actual package, not a different program with Kermit file transfers) available for Microsoft Windows 3.0/3.1?  Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail or post.  Thanks in advance!
Suppose you want to change the particular icon for a program in windows such as the MS-DOS one.  Would someone let me know how you can do this?  Thanks a million.

PhaNG, the Philadelphia Area NEXTSTEP User Group, will be holding a public   sneak preview of NEXTSTEP for Intel Processors.  Where: David Rittenhouse Labs Room A1        33rd And Walnut, southeast corner, Philadelphia PA When:  Wednesday, May 5th        7 pm to 9 pm 			  			  NEXTSTEP is the 32 bit UNIX based operating environment which has, until now, only been available on Motorola-based NeXT computers. In the May 11th issue of PC Magazine called NEXTSTEP a "Hot Prospect". Now, NeXT is nearing release of a version of NEXTSTEP which will run on 486-based PC's, yet is identical to the 68040 version. In fact, NEXTSTEP 3.1 includes the ability to easily  compile a program into a single binary which will run on both Intel and Motorola hardware.  NEXTSTEP 3.1 for Intel Processors will be demonstrated on an Epson Progression 486 computer. NEXTSTEP is scheduled for release on May 25 at NeXTWorld Expo in San Francisco.  The demonstration will be open to the public. Come one come all! If you are   interested in seeing the most advanced PC operating system around, come on by!  For a brief summary of what NEXTSTEP offers, see the May 11th issue of  PC Magazine, page 66.
