Hallo,

We're evaluating Xwindemo. I have a copy running on an HP-Vectra 486/50
with an HP ultra-VGA board at 1024x768x16c. I have W3.1+Trumpet Winsock
+ PCSA4.0 running along.

Xwindemo is running quite well, EXCEPT that it will fail to cache/handle
small pixmaps/bitmaps, or whatever. The most frequent nuisance is using
a CAD package that has iconic palettes: they come out TRANSPARENT. A quick
way to reproduce this is doing an xsetroot of a small bitmap. I usually get
blank backdrops or random garbage in the root X window. top-level (shell)
window icons appear OK, though, and so do custom cursors, so far.

Has anybody else experienced this? May it be due to lack of memory on
my HP gfx board?

Unfortunately, I can't mount trumpet+xwindemo on other PCs at this moment,
so no, I haven't tried another set-up.

Thanks for any help.

Subject: Trmptel problem again

I recently posted about trmptel not accepting characters on the login/password
prompt.  I've checked it out more carefully, and it turns out that the problem
is specifically ASCII characters 37-40.  Rather than give the normal %, &, ',
and (, trmptel sends ^[[A, ^[[C, ^[[D, and ^[[B, respectively (I believe).  Is
there a way to get around this?

                        Ryan.

Subject: Looking for News reader and POP e_mail client code

Hello,
    Can anyone help me out, I am looking for source code for an NNTP news
reader and a POP e-mail client for a PC running winsock.  I know that there
are things like Eudora and WinVN, etc. available but I really need source code
as I wish to write my own clients that have functionality that is not found in
any of the other clients.
   Any advice/code/FTP sites/etc. appreciated.

Rupert.

FTP to 128.159.4.20 (sorry, I threw away the site name) and look in the directory
/pub/win3/winvn.  That should do it for you.

Subject: Experimental weekend FTP server FAILED AGAIN!

To all you out there who tried out my little ftp server and were successful, I
hope you found something you liked.  To those of you who couldn't get in, sorry.
My experiment failed again this weekend.  So, the bottom line at this point is:

  Don't use NetManage's CHAMELEON 4.0 FTP Server for anything except
  VERY MINOR ftp traffic.  The software just can't handle it.

If you ever want to set up an ftp server on your PC using Windows, Chameleon is
not the right package.  (Sorry NetManage, but it's the truth!)  The weekend
prior to this one, the server itself just stopped accepting logons for no
apparent reason.  This past weekend there was a General Protection-style error--not
actually a GP Fault, but the same kind of message box that required me to close
the application.  That meant I couldn't save the log file with all the names,
addresses, and successful downloads.  I was curious to see what people were
interested in.

For those of you who may have gotten on my machine, had a chance to see what was
there, but couldn't download it, send me a message and I'll probably let you
back in to pick up what you missed.  Otherwise, until I can get some serious
response from NetManage, I consider the experiment a failure, and the server
won't be opened up again.

Thanks to all who helped me out.

I am running WSARCHIE on Trumpet V1 Beta #2 with no problems.  Are you sure
that you have the most recent version of WSARCHIE dated March and not
February?

FTP Software, Inc. is a commercial software vendor. The product being referred
to is PC/TCP, a TCP/IP protocol stack for MS DOS and OS/2. It is definitely
_NOT_ freeware or shareware. If you are still interested, their address is:

If you use version 1 B Beta#2 this problem will be eliminated.  However, this
is a prerelease version and seems to have some glitches.
