to JIM SACKETT re: R/INFO ON DTP
|
|
|
|
Your problem is that you're using a "high end" printer (the rented HP)
|
|
with a "low end" publishing package.
|
|
I may be generalizing, but "low end" publishing packages work quite
|
|
hard to do well with inexpensive dot matrix printers, while "high end"
|
|
publishing packages (PageMaker, Ventura) don't "bother" with low-end
|
|
printers, concentrating on using all the features of the "high end"
|
|
printers.
|
|
I use PageMaker and a Deskjet at home and with a PostScript printer
|
|
at work.
|
|
For those times that I need larger fonts (than the 14 point supported
|
|
by the font cartridges) at home, I bought a copy of Corel Draw, which
|
|
has a lot of nice fonts that you export in WMF (Windows Meta File) format
|
|
to PageMaker.
|
|
PageMaker, Windows, Corel Draw, HP Desk Jet, and a couple font carts
|
|
(Times Roman, Helvetica, both in the efficient "ascii" versions) make
|
|
a nice publishing system.
|
|
Ventura has some strengths compared to PM, such as larger doc's,
|
|
lower overhead, etc.
|
|
But (heh heh) if you get PageMaker, you'll find more help here.

|
|
|
|
Sorry, you're out of luck.
|
|
Com1 and com3 use the same interrupt, only the port base changes.
|
|
With Com1 and Com2, the interrupt changes, so it is MUCH more
|
|
complex to patch (I've never been successful, since it becomes
|
|
a need to search for things like various hex bits being put out
|
|
certain ports, etc.

Here in Orange Calif., computer club members were offered
|
|
Prodigy free for 6 months. I tried it and found it so
|
|
poor comapred to the BBS systems I am used to that I
|
|
never used it more than 2 or 3 times. Response time
|
|
was terribly slow, the graphic screens mean the information
|
|
content is tiny compared to the info content on a text
|

screen and the advertisments that keep flashing up are
|
|
a pain in the xxx. I wouldn't recommend it.

Hey that's pretty good, getting to use P-Y [how are we going to abbreviate

going to Sears today to try to get one a regular kit. For E-mail alone

it could revolutionize personal computing. IBM and Sears have probably

hit upon an instant winner. The time is right in terms of people with

computers wanting to inter-communicate across the USA and lets hope the

James, it has occured to me MANY times. I have had this HD for many years,
|
|
and i get the messages once in a while. I have found out that it usually
|
|
happens when I either turn off or Ctrl-Alt-Delete When my HD is STILL
|
|
rotating. When i return to using the comuter, the heads probably need to
|
|
go to their original position or somethand they cannot do it in the
|
|
time need to do the POST. The only way i can fix it is to do a warmboot t
|
|
and then the drive corrects itself. If you need a good book on ERROR MESS
|
|
AGES, contact Peter Norton, or get his book on Errors from a local bookstore
|
|
the book is written in plain English, so if you don't understand COmputer
|
|
Jive, this book w{ll help.

to BILL WOLFF re: R/VM/386
|
|
|
|
thanks for the addnl. info-no need to look up anything. I'm fairly
|
|
familiar w/ the standards problem. My current difficulties stem
|
|
from the fact that 2 prog.s running simultaneously often try to
|
|
grab video memory other prog.s need to be using. The prime offenders
|
|
seem to be wp applications such as wordperfect and m-soft word.
|
|
if either is run in a virtual machine which is linked only to a
|
|
Hercules monitor, they still corrupt VGA address space! IGC says
|
|
the wp prog.s must be trying to use some of it for their graphics
|
|
modes.
|
|
Any ideas on how to tell such a prog to leave certain address
|
|
ranges alone? Any text mode program runs fine on the Hercules, w/o
|
|
corrupting any VGA memory.
|
|
Thanks for the info.

to ALL re: WP AND VIDEO MEMORY ADDRESSES
|
|
|
|
I'm running into an odd (or perhaps not so odd) problem with
|
|
wordperfect and its use of video memory. Here's the situation
|
|
I'm running all my apps under VM/386, which sets up independent
|
|
virtual machines which share a standard DOS file system and i/o
|
|
channels. Each vm runs its own copy of dos, has its own config
|
|
files, etc.
|
|
What's happening is that everything works fine unless I
|
|
try to run WordPerfect (or Microsoft Word, for that matter) in
|
|
a vm which is linked only to the Hercules video (also have
|
|
a VGA video attached to the hardware, but not linked to the WP
|
|
virtual machine). When i start up WP, it somehow appropriates
|
|
some of the video addresses used by the VGA, thus corrupting the
|
|
VGA display. This corruption continues even after WP has been
|
|
exited, and if I attempt to reboot one of the VGA vms, the whole
|
|
system crashes and needs a cold boot!
|
|
Any ideas on how I can get these WP programs to leave
|
|
a specified address range alone? BTW I'm fine for now, running
|
|
WP on VGA and other, text mode programs on the Herc. causes no
|
|
conflicts.
|
|
Any help would bgreatly appreciated!

to RICHARD HINTON re: WP50 AND EXT RAM
|
|
|
|
If you have expanded RAM (in the case of an AT, extended RAM - You'll need
|
|
a LIM 4.0 driver - PC Magazine had a half way decent one a few months
|
|
back), you can specify Word Pe]+~fect with a /R option
|
|
C:\WP50> WP /R - This will load all of Word Perfect into the expanded RAM
|
|
provided that you have enough. One of the management staff at work runs
|
|
a Word Perfect she{ll that will allow him to transfer multiple files
|
|
from expanded RAM to DOS RAM and swap between them. Unfortunately, WP50 is
|
|
larger than what 1 Meg will give you in expanded (WP50 is about 370K), the
|
|
extra 384K is not large enough after the LIM 4.0 driver!. Hope this
|
|
helps.
