I have been using WINQVT 4.30 for a couple of weeks and have found a couple of bugs that I would like to report. I would report them directly to QPC, but they conveniently don't have and E-mail address or a telephone number available to us paying users (I hate US mail because I don't usually get answers when I ask questions, just a note acknowledging they know about it, maybe... I am not saying that QPC is this way, just they way other developers are...). Monitor Saver seems to ignaore input from the comm port for blanking the screen (I would try Screen Peace, but it seems that there are enough problems with it that all of you have posted about it in one way or another). The other, and probably most annoying thing is that when I launch WNQVT from an icon represent a config file, I get that QVT.GLB can't be found (I tried copies of the GLB in both the directory that WINQVT.EXE is in and in the WIN3 directory. Anyone have a suggestion as to what to do about this? I do have some globals that I would like to have initialized when I use QVT, and I think that one of the best part of Windows 3.0 is the ability to launch an application from one of its data files.

I have attempted to perform a KERMIT file transfer with WINQVT over our 9600 baud PBX/IBX dataline. On our mainframe I run KERMIT and initiate a SEND filename command. I then select TRANSFER DOWNLOAD KERMIT RECEIVE from the WINQVT pull down menu (also tried the KERMIT GET option). Regardless of the FLOW CONTROL or PARITY setting the transfer times out. Whether it times out or I select the ABORT option under WINQVT I successfully return to my VT100 terminal session (if I ABORT, the mainframe KERMIT displays the USER ABORT message, indicating that is received a KERMIT FINISH escape sequence). While using MSKERMIT for file transfers I have to set PARITY EVEN (even though to connect I have to SET PARITY NONE). Typically before the file transfer will commence I have to press the ENTER key one to three times after MSKERMIT has displayed its file transfer status screen. The ENTER key increments the RETRY COUNT by one for each time I press it. Usually by the third time MSKERMIT and the mainframe KERMIT begin file transfer. Does anyone have experience transferring files using WINQVT and KERMIT over PBX datalines? How might I send an ENTER key code under WINQVT (sort of a kick in the pants to the mainframe KERMIT)? Is there another solution? barry ps I suspect that the reason WINQVT works over a PBX at all is its support of both SOFTWARE and HARDWARE hangup. HARDWARE hangup entails dropping DTR (which is something MSKERMIT also is capable of doing). Others developing WIN3 communications packages would do well by a somewhat small community of users by including DTR control capabilities (WINCOMM?, WINKER?, etc.).

How do I send a break signal in Winqvt?
Also how do I set my Unix account so that it sends more
than 25 rows and 80 columns? I tried stty rows 30 or
stty columns 100 but it said unknown mode on both counts.
My system is an Encore Multimax running UMAXV
Thanks...

While we're on the subject of WinQVT (and have been through several recent postings), are we certain that with all the griping about version 4.65 (the most recent on cica.cica.indiana.edu [129.79.20.22]), that 4.65 is the *most recent* version QPC Software is putting out? Are registered users using version 5.xx or something? I just hate seeing all this bashing of QPC Software (specifically winQVT) when it may or may not be justified... Just wondering.

As far as the QPC Software bashing goes--I'm not sure it does any good to complain here, as I got the feeling that they aren't connected to the net anyhow (please prove me wrong). There are certainly many things to complain about the software, but it would be more productive to complain to the vendor directly.

However, QPC *does* get wind of many Usenet discussions on their products. I've received mail from Pam Arnold at QPC Software (76676,1420@compuserve.com) who has commented directly to me about things said here regarding winQVT and QVTnet and about the CICA archive generally. -- michael regoli mr@cica.indiana.edu regoli@iubacs.BITNET ..rutgers!iuvax!cica!mr

Which file do I have to edit to make winqvt look to COM2 at startup? I just downloaded winqvt from cica and I have a terminal server plugged into COM2. I don't have any problems getting 'terminal' or 'wn100k' to fire up. -------------------------------------------------------- Bill Eaton Insert Standard Disclaimer Here --------------------------------------------------------
