Word for Windows lets me designate text as being in a language other than US English.  (Alt-F L, Format | Language, as I recall.)  So I mark it for English (UK), but it still accepts "rumor" and squawks at "rumour".  As far as I can see, Microsoft didn't include the English (UK) dictionary on my disks.  (I don't mean to imply that I was singled out; I assume that nobody in the U.S got them.)  I dialed the Microsoft BBS, but nothing in the Word for Windows section looked helpful.  Can anyone tell me where or how to obtain the UK spelling dictionary for Winword 2.0?  The file name would be SPELL_UK.LEX or something similar.  Email please; I'll post a summary.

Hi there,  We are running a 120 node Token ring with Windows 3.1 and Novell 3.11.  Every once in a while, we run into "The Black Screen of Death", a phrase coined by Robert X. Cringely in a recent InfoWorld column.    Basically, sometimes when you quit Windows, the screen goes black and you get a nice little flashing cursor in the top left corner of your screen.  Also, sometimes when you exit to DOS, the same effect occurs. Cringely hints that Microsoft and/or Novell has a patch for Windows' virtual interrupt controller that  may solve this.  Neither company seems to know what I am talking about when I call them.  Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?    Is there a fix for it?  Any response is welcome.

It sounds like something/one may have set the 1000's separator to "." in Contol Panel (under International).  This makes 23,482 look like 23.482 and File Manager is chopping off what it thinks is the decimal part of the file size. 3,356,345 becomes 3.356.345, and again, File Manager is confused by the decimal points where there should be commas, chopping off everything to the right of the first period.  --  Tony DeBari          FQDN: tonyd@ssc60.sbwk.nj.us     CI$: 73117,452                      UUCP: ...!uunet!ssc60!tonyd      *P*: GHRW14B
Hi,   I have normal procomm plus for dos, but I've been considering buying the windows version....it got really great reviews in computer shopper. I have a friend who connects to the mainframe and unix machines here using it, but the screen seems to have a problem keeping up with the modem....he has a 14,400 modem on a 486 50 Mhz machine.  I can't see it having trouble keeping up.  His pcplus for dos works great, but the windows just seems to always screw up....Is this common and is there a fix?  Or is something just screwed with his machine? 					Kent

I am using DOS Quick C 2.5 in a DOS window under Windows 3.1, and the other day while I was running the compiler, I got a general protection fault immediately followed by a "serious disk error".  When I rebooted, I found that about 15 files had gotten "cross-linked" which is a pretty serious corruption of the hard drive file system.  I am concerned that Quick C in a DOS window has somehow strayed outside its protected mode world and corrupted the smartdrv.exe disk cache and that is what caused the disk problem.  I thought that DOS programs run in DOS windows were pretty well-contained  by Windows.  If that is true, then maybe the Quick C compiler has nothing  to do with it.  Has anybody else had this type of problem?  (I only recently "upgraded" from Quick C 2.0 to 2.5.)  Brad Banko

The one I like is Show Partner/FX. If you want it, I could give a copy to you. I did a lot of advertising with it - it lets you create both graphics (ANY resolution) and text frames, run it all as a "film", you can make choices and include music - I guess that's just what you need.

Since loading Windows, two of my DOS applications have been acting strangely.  It appears that font changes and page orientation changes (so far) are not being recognized in WordPerfect/DOS and QuattroPro/DOS.  Another DOS application does accept font and page orientation changes, so I don't think the problem is with the printer.  I reloaded QuattroPro, and these changes are still not accepted whether launching from Windows or the DOS prompt.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look or how to correct this problem?  I've ordered QuattroPro for Windows, but need a landscape application printed immediately.  Please e-mail.  Thanks in advance!

First of all, I don't have exact figures, and I don't want to disclose how I know this.  However, I will say that Jim Francis from Microsoft just posted a figure of $26 million (payment from IBM to Borland) and that's somewhere in the range that I've heard.

As the subjects says, Windows 3.1 keeps crashing (givinh me GPF) on me of   late.  It was never a very stable package, but now it seems to crash every   day.  The worst part about it is that it does not crash consistently: ie I   can't reproduce crashes, and they are not always GPF's in the same   application. Sometimes I can recover by simply closing the application   that caused an error, but other times, windows acts very strange, and I   need to re-boot.  Some background:  I have a Leading Edge 486sx25 with Phoenix BIOS.  When I   first got it it had 4Mg of memory.  It ran windows fine (not too many   GPF's).  Then, a couple of weekends ago, I installed Lotus 123 for windows   (with ATM), a game card and an additional 4  1Mg SIMMS.  The Leading edge   machine is kind of strange, in that it has the IDE controler built into   the motherboard, the CPU is actually on a sparate board that plugs into   the motherboard and the SIMMS it uses are Macintosh SIMMS! Apparently I   was told that the Leading Edge had the parity bit built into the mother   board.  The original 4Mg 80ns SIMMS where of the 2 chip variety from   SAMSUNG, and the ones I installed are 8 chip SIMMS. They are recognized   fine by the BIOS RAM check. The game card is a generic $20 gamecard.  The reason why I mention the hardware like this is that sometimes   rebooting the machine using the reset button or ctl-alt-del still leaves   the machine kind of flaky, but turning it on and off doesn't.   I haven't tried taking out the RAM or the game card, because as I said   these GPF are not reproducible at will.  I have gone through and entire   day using the computer with no problems and then I might get 5 or so GPF's   in the sppace of 20 minutes?  What can I do.  This situation is most annoying... Are there any good   diagnostic tools for hardware? Do you think that this might be a software   problem (ie EMM386 etc.)? If it helps, i have manage to get GPF's on After   Dark, quicken, Paint shop pro. A lot of them have been in user.exe or   gdi.exe.  Any help is truly appreciated.....  -Eric

So, I was >wondering ... has anybody used this and/or have any opinions? > >-- Tom Belmonte  If you are interested in a program which is very easy to use, I strongly  suggest Approach 2.0.  It is extremely easy to use, make reports, etc.  I own both it and Paradox, and I almost never use Paradox.  If you need to  build up a complicated application, then Paradox is the way to go.  I have heard horror stories about the Access programming being extremely cryptic. Since you seem like you will probably be doing fairly small stuff (work/ home use and you have not used a database before), I recommend Approach.  I  have found only one small thing which I would like it to do more easily: I have one database where the order in which the records are entered must  be different than what is the logical ordering.  To permanently reorder (to  use the old DBASE III command) the records requires sorting the records  appropriately (no problem, since I almost always use them in this order) exporting the database to another database (which can still be an Approach  database), and then copying the exported files back to the original  filename.  This is a small weakness, considering the other items I really  like about Approach.  It is also a little slower than Paradox (other than  the loading, Paradox takes forever and a minute to load).  Paradox also  takes a lot of memory (both hard disk (around 12MB) and RAM).

(From the Windows Resource Toolkit (for Win4Workgroups)), add an entry to your "system.ini" file under the [NonWindowsApp] section:      CommandEnvSize=NNNN  "This sets the COMMAND.COM env size, where NNNN must either be 0 or between 160 and 32768.  A value of 0 disables the setting.  If this value is too small or too big, it is rounded up to 160 or down to 32768. If the value is less than the current size of the actual environment, this setting is disabled, as if it were 0.  If you specify the environment size in a PIF file for COMMAND.COM, the PIF setting overrides this setting.  The default is 0 with MSDOS versions earlier than 3.2.  Otherwise, the default value is the /e: option in the SHELL= command in CONFIG.SYS.  To set this value, you must edit your SYSTEM.INI [and reboot]."   I have used this entry, as well as relied on the default /e: from the CONFIG.SYS shell= line, and both give larger environments.  If you don't use one of these, then the environment passed by windows to each new DOS box is just a little bit bigger than the environment _variables_ present when windows was started.  (No matter how big the DOS env was, when windows starts, it truncates all unused space except for a few bytes.)  This should allow your batch file to run, but your mileage may vary.
Has anyone had problems with Ami Pro 3.0 after running PCTools (v7.1) compress?  I have not corrupted data due to having caches other than PC-Cache running, so that is not it.  The first time I try to run Ami Pro after loading windows, it loads, but causes (I think it was a)  segmentation fault in AMIPRO.EXE right before it finishes, with all times after that only managing to get to the logo box that first pops up when it begins loading, and then causes a general protection fault in module AMIPROUI.DLL at 0002:1147.  I have not been able to fix this problem except by reinstalling Ami Pro.  This has happened twice, with both times being after having ran compress on my hard drive.  BTW, I am not running stacker or any other disk compression programs, and if you don't already know, PCTools compress is actually a defragger, despite it's name.  My system is a 386-40MHz, with 16MB of RAM and a NEC (OEM) hard drive, etc, but that shouldn't make a difference.
