I recently received my registered copy of WinQVT (4.66) and had noted some of the problems of the original poster. Specifically: WinQVT used EGA fonts on my VGA when I'd installed the vga fonts into \windows\system\vt220.fon. This happened in all windows modes. Curiously, my 286 with VGA worked properly. I fixed my problem by running WinQVT by calling up the ".VT" file; you'll need to put the line "vt=winqvt.exe ^.vt" in the proper place in your WIN.INI file, then change the properties of the WinQVT icon to reference the .vt file (you'll probably want to use WinQVT's icon too). Also, when a partial screen redraw was done from our host word processor garbage text is left on the screen. Sorry, but I've got no fix for this one. I did report both problems to the company; they are responsive. Other problems I found include: - using "load=" the WinQVT icon is not displayed. The program is there, and is running, and the icon text is there, but there is NO ICON. - Exiting WinQVT hangs up my modem. The initial version I used didn't, at least I don't recall it doing so. - Kermit file transfer only works when the host has a really GOOD version of kermit. Unix hosts work well. IBM and Prime....forget it. Hope this helps a little. Jeff Price "jprice@prime.cob.ohio-state.edu"
