From: Syndesis Forum: Windows Sources Forum May 20, 1994 9:05 AM
Yes, my company has had a product called "InterChange" on the market since 1987. We announced the Windows version last summer, and I think several Z-D magazines printed the press release. And their lawyers called several months ago, asking for a pay-off to use the name. I told them to…

I would recommend speaking to Lisa Landa at Ziff-Davis Interactive. Call 617-252-5000. Have you seen the name "Interchange" used somewhere else? – Paul

#9653-WINDOWS 3.11 Message #9654
From: Paul Friedman [ZiffNet] Forum: Windows Sources Forum May 18, 1994 12:27 AM
Microsoft's numbering is rather confusing. Windows 3.11 is simply a bug-fix type interim release. My suggestion (others might differ, of course) is that if your current Windows setup ain't causing you trouble, simply ignore it.

As you probably have noticed, we publish a "What's In" and What's Out" list each month in the update section. Since our readers are not short on opinions, we'd like to know what technologies, companies, and products are either making their move toward technical immortality or sliding into well-deserved oblivion.…

I am curious to know whether the following is normal when utilizing Windows… When I boot my sys. into Windows I will have, just for example, 75% free resources & 8200 free memory available. As I load, use and exit out of various programs the available resources & memory diminishes…

Keith, Have you considered trying Microsoft's 32bit Vxd based TCPIP stack for WFW instead of Lan Workplace? It's still in beta (the beta is public), but I've been using it for the past few weeks without any problems. Thanks, Ron

We are having difficulties with our DOS apps running under Windows for Workgroups 3.11. The basic environment is : Netware 3.11, WFW 3.11, NDIS drivers disabled under WFW. We are not using any of the Microsoft Windows network features due to an incompatability with Novell's NACs. The NDIS and SPX…

Doug, No matter what development tool you're using, the process of calling a custom help file is fairly similar. Your applications responds to a user request for Help (clicking a Help button, pressing F1, or whatever) by calling WinHelp and instructing it to open a specific compiled Help file. In…

One of the best books I've seen on the subject is "Developing Online Help for Windows" from SAMS Publishing. Of course, nothing beats the "HAG" the Microsoft Help Authoring Guide. It's available as (what else?) a Windows Help file. Download HAG.ZIP from the Trends library in the PC Magazine EDITORIAL…
