I am, however,  a devoted Quicken user, and I can tell you how to set up the weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly transactions.  First use the Memorize feature (CTRL-M) to record the recurring transactions.  Next, define a transaction group which uses these memorized transactions and specify the frequency that it should be used (i.e. monthly).  Quicken will/can not automatically make the transactions for you, but now all you do is recall the group and all of the individual transactions will be entered at once.  Additionally if you are using the Bill Minder, it will remind you when each transaction group is due.  For example, you could have three transaction groups.  One for payments at the beginning of the month, middle of the month, and one for quarterly payments.  I hope this helps.

In fact, I'm looking for a possibility to connect different peaces of information (like in the windows help system).   And no, I don't want to program such a system by myself. The necessary effort and afford should be as small as possible.
Surely some one of you is familiar with what a mail-order company goes through. This company has only a few products, but thousands of clients. I need a Sales, Billing, and Receivables program to handle the thing, but I need to be able to customize it myself, own the source, etc. Anyone willing to sell me the basic stuff (in ANY development language) I'll be willing to pay about $1,000 to.   It has to be ready now. I need this sort of solution immediately. With more time I'll just develop one myself. If you can have me a prototype in two weeks, you can make some quick cash.

Especially with these >better printer technologies ... and TT?  ATM will do nothing for your TrueType fonts.  If your TrueType fonts are sufficient for your needs, don't run ATM.  I have a lot of fonts that I can install either as Type-1 PostScript (under ATM) or as TrueType.  I have noticed that:      1.	TrueType font files are at least 1/3 larger than their Type-1 	equivalents.  If you are using a disk compressor, though, be aware 	that TrueType fonts will compress, whereas Type-1 fonts will not 	(they are encrypted).      2.	With a 300 dpi laser printer, the "artificial bold" version of a 	TrueType font is indistingishable from the original, forcing me to 	install the actual bold (and bold-italic, etc.) variants if I want 	to use them.  Type-1 PostScript fonts under ATM generate a visually 	distinct bold variant from the base font.  I realize that the 	artificial bold font that ATM generates is aesthetically inferior 	to the hand-generated bold TrueType variant, but it is sufficient 	for my needs, and not having to install bold variants saves me 50% 	on disk space (uncompressed).
I am setting up my DOS/UNIX box on a 116M IDE and a 412M SCSI drive and was wondering about the use of the (MS-DOS 5.0) JOIN command.  I like the way it sets things up since I won't have to stick with the C: D: & E: (crap) that DOS enforces.  I like how it would mimic mount points of UNIX filesystems.  I have heard that there were problems with using it, or at least under older versions of DOS.  Please tell!

(NOTE: The followups are set to comp.os.os2.misc.  DMQS files describe monitors and valid modes to be used by the XGA-2 under both Windows and OS/2.)  THESE FILES ARE UNSUPPORTED!  IBM has nothing to do with these files or this post.  It's personal this time (and every time I post -- see the signature).  Due to demand and requests, here are some additional DMQS files I've collected for the XGA-2.  These files function with the latest revision of the drivers for the XGA-2.  Not all these files will work under Windows with the drivers available to the general public at this time.  All files will function under the most recent OS/2 2.1 beta and those I've tried have worked under OS/2 2.0+SP.  Not all files have been fully tested.  THESE FILES ARE UNSUPPORTED!  They represent a personal collection, not anything resembling an officially supported set.  As a standard disclaimer I would like to point out the following facts: 1) Some of these files may run your adapter out of spec.  Doing so can    stress the ICs on the card and may result in incorrect operation or in    shorter life (how short depends on how much out of spec [boom!] :-). 2) Some of these files may run your adapter in a region that is out of    spec for your monitor, resulting in damage to your monitor. 3) You should be knowledgable about your monitor and adapter's ability    to use the mode you select.  Using these files represents hacking    in a very true sense, so practice safe computing and don't play    around too much if you don't like the risks and aren't knowledgable    about what you're doing. 4) If you feel uncomfortable with all the warnings, use the DMQS files    you have or wait until IBM releases official, tested DMQS files.    Although you should be aware of warning 2) even with the IBM files.  THESE FILES ARE UNSUPPORTED!  By using them you may invalidate your warrenty.  Not all have been fully tested -- I don't have that many monitors.  Installation: unpack in your DMQSPATH environment variable, usually c:\xga$dmqs.  Then use the methods described in your XGA-2 installation diskette to change your adapter or settings.  Packing: these files have been packed with the latest INFOZIP utility.   You will need PKZip 2.x if you don't have the INFOZIP utilities.  Submitting:  feel free to send me uuencoded versions of your favorite DMQS files for your favorite monitors.  I'm always interested in collecting more.  Archive:  these files have been uploaded to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/uploads/xga2dmqs.zip.

Hi,  sometime ago there are some discussions on gaining CompuServe access thru the Internet. But I seem to misplace those articles. Can someone please refresh me where (which site) I can telnet to to gain access.  Hopefully I can download files as well.   Thanks,
[ Lots of stuff deleted because I felt like it ]  This MS bashing has definitely lost all its humor value.  I think most of the people posting are forgetting that most users of MS products do not even know about internet, and Unix is that very unfriendly place where bizzare abreviations replace the rather comfortable abreviations they know. And the abreviations have subtle differences between the different vendors. While PC users tend to customize any windowing setup, they can not do much with their  command line.  So to most of the computer users in the world MS product symbolize quality. MS has made their life easier, and more productive and to them that is quality. They do not care about what innovative things MS has done, other than to make their life with a computer one heck of a lot easier. You may know better than most computer users in this world but that will not change their perception.  Face it until Unix come up with a decent GUI that is available to all variations of Unix it just will not catch on with the mainstream of computer users. We here on the net are not mainstream computer users.   Brian --   Disclaimer: The opinions expressed are mine not those of BNR.

While the 64K limit may not be _necessary_ limitation, they probably fall within the category of 'reasonable' limitations.  If you find yourself trying to allocate an edit control for more than 64K of text, it's probably time take a good look at your program's design.  >Why is there such a small limit to the number of global memory >handles allowed?  In what way is 8192 a 'small' number?  It seems to me that you'd hit the wall in many other ways before you'd hit the systemwide limit on global handles, unless, of course, you're abusing GlobalAlloc.   And _please_ don't try to tell me that it's impossible to abuse the resources available under other operating systems.  All systems have limits.  The question is whether or not the limits are _reasonable_.  So far, you haven't offered a single argument which suggests that Windows' limits are any less reasonable than limits in other systems.   --  Rick Schaut UUCP:...{uunet | uw-beaver}!microsoft!richs

Answer: The EISA bus does move 32 bits rather than ISA's 8/(16?)         But it still moves it at about the speed as the ISA bus.         I think that's either 8 or 10 mhz.         The local bus designs also move 32 bits like the EISA, but         they move the data at the cpu speed, up to 40 mhz.         So, on a 33mhz cpu, the local bus is moving 32bit data at         33 mhz, and the EISA is moving 32bit data at 8 or 10 mhz.         So the local bus should be 3 to 4 times faster than EISA on         a 33 mhz cpu.  EISA should be about two (maybe 3) times as         fast as ISA.  > Since they are not, why would anyone (me included) pay a higher > cost for a EISA video card when its performance is no better than > and often worse that a much cheaper ISA video board, such as a > Diamond SpeedStar 24X?

The EISA bus does have more advantages over the ISA bus than just it's width.  For example: more/better  interrupts and bus mastering.  But these other factors do not impact  a video card very much.  They have more impact on file servers with  multiple hard drives, full-throttle network cards, cd-roms, etc.

Ms-windows confuses many people. Microsoft  [Common complaints about MS Windows deleted...]  >Jesse >e-mail:cyen@cs.unt.edu/ic43@sol.acs.unt.edu  	Hmmmm, why do I get the feeling that this is gonna start one of those endless threads 'Mac Vs Win" and might even end up as "OS/2 Vs Win". Well, I dont know if Windows is a mature OS, if I have seen one (in which case that has to be X-Windows :) ), but dont be so quick to judge...  First of all to try to use plain vanilla Windows is as courageous as to try to use plain vanilla DOS. There are _lots_ of very nice commercial and shareware packages/utilities that will boost up Windows past what MS itself thought possible :)... For example, Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0 (a replace- ment for ProgMan) will give you group-within-a-group capability and will even change group icons, it will launch progs by association (well, FileMan does that too) or by dragging the file in the apps icon (now Mac doesnt do that, huh? :) )... And the list goes on and on... Now, Windows _is_ kinda hard to finetune, boost and configure, but thats trhe price to pay for not paying $$$ to get a Mac or an OS/2 capable machine (an entirely differet story ...)... On the other hand if you dont like the idea of PM's icons not correspnding to the files themselves, well they are not supposed to :).. PM is a Program _Launching_ utility not a file manager... Modify your  settings to have FM as your shell and not PM, or get a couple of utilities from cica that supposedly give you a 'Mac feel'... I dont wanna get in the discussion which is a better system: Mac's are good in their own way -- they are _different_ not better or worse than Win PCs-- (actually I am writing this from a Mac lab as a user assistant - so dont think I am partial to Win:) ) By all means check out the stuff in cica (ftp to ftp.cica.indiana.edu under the pub/pc/win3 subdir user: anonymous), or wait for StarTrek (Mac's OS on a PC !!! -- the threads we are gonna have then !!! :) )... Just trying to avoid another Mac-Win war...
