Hi,    I recently bought an Orchid Fahrenheit 1280+. It's a real nice card, but I'm having very big problems with it.    The basic problem is that vertical lines are missing from the display in windows. Something like every other line or so. Also, when I use a DOS gif viewer, namely vpic 6.0c, in Fahrenheit 1280 mode, vertical lines are swapped. It's very strange looking. If it uses VESA standards, however, it works great! only it thinks there's only 512K on the card. (There's 1MB on there).    I have contacted Orchid support, and they tried to be helpful, but didn't have the answer. I don't think the card is the problem, since it works great on my friend's computer.    Here is my setup: Fahrenheit 1280+, 1MB, bios 1.1 386-25, Opti-chipset2, AMI bios 1990, 5MB ram. Maxtor 120MB harddrive, (slave) Maxtor 40Mb harddrive (master) Panasonic c1381 monitor, version 4.6 windows drivers. windows 3.1 I tried taking all memory managers, etc off, and took all other cards (besides disk controller) off.    My friend's setup is 386sx-16, shamrock monitor.  If anyone has seen anything like this, or can otherwise help, I will be very greatful.  Please send e-mail to tdarugar@tartarus.ucsd.edu or 			tdarugar@ebon.ucsd.edu

You have a lot more problems keeping up with hardware interrupts in Windows than in DOS - regardless of what communication software you are using.  Try the following:    1) Turn off disk write cache for the disk you are downloading to.  The        cache will save up so much that when it grabs control of the machine        it takes too long to write to disk and you loose characters.     2) Use a different UART for your serial line.  The old UART's (8250 or 16450)        can only buffer one character internally.  The new UART's (16550) can        buffer 16, which should be plenty for most situations.  You can run        \windows\msd.exe to find out what UART is on the machine.
Preface: I am a novice user at best to the Windows environment.  I am trying to execute a MS C++ 7.0 executable program which accesses a Btrieve database to build an ASCII file.    When I execute it under windows the screen goes blank and my PC locks up.  The only way for me to return is to reset the machine.  Does anyone have any insight on what I may have to do in order for the program to correctly under windows?  (By the way it runs fine in DOS 5.0)  System:  Gateway 486/DX250  	 ATI Graphics Ultra Card 640x480  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Internal DOS commands (certainly 3.3 and before) do not set the exit code. This is a royal pain if you want to do anything which checks for successful deletions etc. The best suggestion is to use 4dos which does return you exit codes. It also has move command,  	Simon.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simon Rowe,                                   srowe@fulcrum.co.uk Fulcrum Communications Ltd, Birmingham,			         Condition "BRAIN_OVERLOAD$" raised at ENGLAND.				 5412(0)/12234

I solved my problem.  I still do not understand why it happens ths way; perhaps some of you C++ gurus can explain this to all of us!  For some reason when I define the following functins in the class definition (in the .h file) the compiler thinks some pure virtual functions are not defined.  When I placed these two in a separate source file and compiled them, the problem went away.  Any ideas what happen?  Are the functions that are defined in the class construct all inline ?  Is this the problem?  virtual int            isEqual (const Object _FAR &obj) const { return this == &(HashEntry&) obj; }  virtual void           printOn( Rostream os) const {  os << "[ HWindow is " << (void _FAR *) hWindow << " ]\n";  } --

Yet, Write does >display the font correctly on the screen.  This is a common problem with highly complex TrueType fonts.  Microsoft admits to a problem with older versions of the PostScript printer driver, but I've found it to be pretty generic.  You can get around the problem by adjusting the parameter OutlineThreshold in the [TrueType] section of WIN.INI.  This entry specifies the number of pels-per-em at which Windows will render TrueType fonts as outline fonts instead of as bitmap fonts.  The default is 256.  I've generally been able to get fonts to work by setting OutlineThreshold=160.  Depending on your printer resolution and the point size you are using, you may need a different value.  The Windows Resource Kit warns against going above 300.  Presumably, that might cause fonts to print as square boxes or something.  :-|  (I'm not smiling.)

We have a LAN where we are doing development on product for multiple platforms.  For the moment we are only working on MAC and DOS/Windows. The department has    always used sneaker net to transport files to the MAC, since it requires a       filter to strip out the <LF> characters.                                          Until recently no one concidered using any version control to mediate, and as    a result, the 5 programmers spent a great deal of time merging files together    at the end of each week so that a new system could be build. We are now trying   to streamline this process, but are hampered by the lack of software that will   allow us to share files across PC and MAC platforms.                              I understand that PVCS used to do this, but that they no longer support the MAC  product (anyone know why ??  Polytron ?).                                         I have seen people ask about development in multiple platforms, so I assume that ours is not a new problem.  Who has had to deal with it ?  What solutions have   you come up with?                                                                 thanks in advance for any and all suggestions via posting or EMAIL. If there are enough EMAIL responses then I will post a synopsis of the knowledge.              -Charles Emmons
Has anyone experienced problems formatting a system floppy in the File Manager under DOS 6?  I get a formatted disk but when I boot with it, my hard drive isn't recognized.

It's been dropped, along with BACKUP, JOIN, EDLIN    and a couple other crummy old DOS commands.

I have used Glockenspeil commonview under Motif and OS2.  I wrote a resource converter from OS2 to Motif, but it really wasn't too easy, especially the naming scheme. In Motif you cannot rename controls/widgets. With windows you can call the OK button ID_OK in every instance, this doesn't work for Motif, you'd have to call it Dialog1_OK, and Motif expects a text string rather than a number.  So  your constructor should know how to convert a #define into the proper resource identifier. I'd check on how the toolkit expects names, and that if it does use resources, that is uses resources for all platforms you intend to port to. ( By the way, I would never use CommonView or Glockenspiel for anything )     Alex.

And/or taking the rubber ball out of the mouse (should be directions in the manual or on the bottom of the mouse) and cleaning it with alcohol (isopropyl, I believe - the same alcohol as used for cleaning your cassette deck).  This is good to do every so often, even if you have a mouse pad.  Dust still gets caught in the mouse and on the rubber ball.  As well, lint and other garbage may find it's way onto the rubber ball and get into the mouse damaging the horizontal and vertical sensors.  Hope this helps.

Using a Windows 3.1 printer driver, I would like to "print to a file", with output as a Postscript file.  Later, I would like to take this Postscript file to a machine with an attached Hewlett Packard 4M laser printer, and print the document at 600 dots per inch resolution.  I would like to use this method to print from WordPerfect For Windows, and from an image processing program that can output images in Postscript.  Here's the problem:  the Windows Postscript printer driver (pscript.drv) doesn't allow me to specify 600 dpi.  In fact, the setup dialog for this driver does have a pull-down menu for "resolution", but the only choice given in the menu is 300!  Not a really useful menu.  Any ideas?
