Murph'
Murph, No it doesn't include the WinNT resource kit, however it does include the Win95 Resource kit. If you need something specific I'd be glad to help you out. Fred
Murph, If you have the Win95 CD you can search in the manual for NT and get a whole lot of info. The bit about dual boot and loading with NT is covered in the section on setup. I don't remember the exact pages but search is how I found…
Martin, Let me add my Congrats. Fred
There is a news group "alt.3d" where 3DS is often mentioned, albeit in a "cracked" reference. There is also supposed to be an "alt.3ds" newsgroup but I haven't seen it yet.
Truevision Survey
Message #155509
I just saw a survey on the truevision forum. Chuck Mitchell – Truevision Tech Support posted it. Please go over there and take the survey. I also suggested to him he should cross post to here. Hopefully he will.

Bradley, Currently I'm using Stacker, but whatever is supported will do fine. My only thought was the added capability. Never got this one, the other was setting on my desk, so I offered. Fred

Jack, I uploaded it yesterday. It will appear in HWare/OsSys/Video as NTHELP.ZIP. Search word are NT, OS. I hope it helps. It is a rather large file, 1.3 megs approximately 16 minutes at 9,600. Fred
John, Sounds great. Lets take this to e-mail. Fred

Jack,
John, I second your vote. Where are we writing? I just wonder what D/Vision is going to run with? The 2000? If so I hope they hurry with the PCI version, I thought it odd to release a new product that required an EISA bus. And even if it is…
Bill, I second John's vote. Where are you writing? From what I read in their forum, they are only supporting the 2000 and only through reseller and developers, not from Truevision direct. Fred

Brian, Have you tried to run Ani-Pro under NT. I recall that I got it to run under NT 3.1 and used it for a fairly long session, but the next time I opened it I got an abnormal program termination. From there I started to notice messages about a…

John, I'm running NT with five apps open right now and I have only 16 megs of ram. NT runs comfortably in 12 megs. I don't know what will happen when you open 3DS NT and what kind of memory you will need, but right now if you are running…

Jeffery, Again, I won't go into speed related issues, but all of my apps run just fine. When I first loaded WinNT 3.1 I did have some speed problems and some driver problems, but I worked around them. With WinNT 3.5, Most of these have cleared up. It is true…

James, My original reply had the tri-boot scenario, but I figured I would give you some final ammo for OS/2. If you have the room, why not. Good Luck Fred

James, Your right, 3DS doesn't run under NT. You can however, dual boot your machine. You can have one boot for plain old DOS, one for WinNT. Not a perfect world, Yet. 🙂 Fred

Dennis, I'd be more than happy. First off I won't address speed issues. I have a hard enough time trying to keep the beat to the music let alone trying to see if this program runs faster in NT as opposed to OS/2. After all what is a nano second…

From someone who has been using WinNT for about 18 months, I'll add that everyone should make the switch now, it certainly is worth it. I have a real problem switching back to a machine running WFWG. You get used to doing several things at once. Now all I have…

James, Here are the RGB and the HSB model numbers for the two colors that you need. I must preface these with the same warnings that Greg gave, these are colors for printing, and as such will not necessarily look the same in video. I am sure that you are…
Nik, Thanks for the tip. I have been having this problem for some time, but never bothered to do much about it. I tryed -maxv 0 and ANI started right up. I hope Gayle gets her problem solved but in the meantime, thanks a million. Fred
#Get rich with 3DS?
Message #115466
Bill, There is a forum on CIS, "Internet Forum?", or something like that. They should have a file or the proper way to get at a list that is kept current that lists all of the public access provider for the US. Good Luck Fred
Greg, Congrats, you seem to be happier for the move so it must be good. Anxious for your return. Fred
U.S News & World Report
Message #99190
Martin, I was glancing through an article, "25 Breakthrough That Are Changing The Way We Live And Work.", in U.S. News & World Report, May 2, 1994 issue, when on the last page (60) I saw a picture of a fair haired gentleman at a computer with his wrong hand…
Digital Video is Video
Message #99189
John, I would imagine that you already know this but I thought it was worth posting. This is a side-bar to an article in AV Video, March 1994, written by Rick Lehtinen. "Digital Video is Video Whether in the ROM chips of a test generator or in the three chips…
No not yet. ):-( Although, you know that NT offers a dual-boot option on start-up. If that is not too much trouble, just boot DOS. FWIW
Why wait? Price aside, it seems to be a more robust Windows in a lot of ways. With the coming of Chicago, there will be more speedy apps to run. And if you join the other seven of us, our collective voices will be heard much better. Fred (I've seen…
The answer to this is to make yourself a "Value Added." 3DS is not a simple program to use or learn, so you have a head start in that department. What I would do is try to sell the service and then in the process of fulfilling the client's needs…
Jonas, How did I know this would be your response? Do they send you to school to learn this response? :-} Fred
John, I see where your coming from, but I don't think NT will ever be the OS loaded on systems from the OEMs. NT is being positioned more as an enterprise system and as such has little appeal to the masses buying a single computer for home or office use.…
John, I'm not sure there is anymore of a learning curve for NT then there is for Windows. In fact MS has been taking it on the chin for using the same UI. I'm torn on this issue. Fred
John, Boy take twenty some hours off the forum and look what happens.
John, I guess the reason I am using NT is because I got it for "free", Great reason. When Microsoft started the "Developers Network," I signed up, because the price was only $69. I do a little programming, but mostly have kept up the products. So when the Win32 SDK…
Daytona
Message #97728
John, I was over on the NT forum and found this, thought you might appreciate the humor. My guess is that it was named after the Daytona because of the Race >> Track there, known for _high_ speed NASCAR races… Gives high speed spectacular crashes too… Cheers Black Peter [UK]…

Message #97727
Bob, Welcome. Are you a friend of Nick Danger? It's right out back. Fred
John, It was an item under the "What's New" sign-on message. Apparently CServe has put together a CD on stuff?? It is not much money and has the obligitory $10.00 usage credit. I forget the go command but it is probably "GO CD" You order it from the CompuStore. Fred
John, Good points, all. I tend to use the "C" (catch-up) key code alot. I find the 'Net' to be rather borish as compared to this cyberspace haven. This forum seems to be alot more focused then the newsgroups. I need only point to the recent message about 3DS bashing.…
John, How many MIPS were the Mainframes running at ten years ago? This industry is unbelieveable. We may be the first generation to see our childhood fantasies come to life. Dick Tracey wristwatches, Lost in Space (that poor cosmonaut), TV Walls, automated kitchens (ala Jetsons) these things are already here…
John, You know I questioned myself on the Gates name for quite a while. I must know a Gary Gates, of course, you are right it is Bill. I must be aging faster then I think. That might be part of the philosophy, but Cairo(?), is that Illinois or Eygpt.…
Jeffrey, Let me add my two cents worth to your already glowing "see ya's" You certainly helped me out with the upgrade problem I was having and I have the utmost respect for you and the job you did, especially since you never once laughed. Best of the best luck…
John, Sorry, the city names are the next names for Windows, Chicago is the next release of Windows, which will not have to be run on DOS. Daytona will be the next release of Windows NT, and should be out soon. Ciaro will be the next generation of Win NT…

DOS Command Line for Win
Message #96668

OpenGL and Windows NT
Message #96667
John, I'm addressing this to you because I believe you have made mention of OpenGl before, stating that you liked the interface. PC Magazine, April 26, 1994, Trends Column: "Pixels, Trexels, And Sprites There are lots of colorful names to describe what you see on a computer screen. You probably…
Ang, I got the files and unpacked them and started to read the docs, and then got sidetracked by Gus's reminder that TCP/IP is included with Windows NT. So I have been following up on that end of things. I have gone over to the Internet forum and looked at…
Greg, Not likely, being you're from Wilkes-Barre. BTW I noticed the "Pyros Corporation" on one of your recent replys, is that new, no more partnership? If so congrads, if not congrads anyway. Fred
