I have written a utility for Windows 3.0 called Auto-Raise. It allows you to select the active window simply by pointing to it. You don't have to click in it. Alas I don't have access to an ftp server so I gave a copy of the program to someone to place on cica. Will someone mail me if they see the file up there (or if they don't). The file should be called RAISE103.ZIP. Thank You Robert F. Nee

Robert, Is it possible to write a utility to disable the auto-raise that occurs when you click on a window? I'd sure like to be able to type in a window without having it pop up over all the other windows. Michael B. Williams

Does this work for all programs, and what exactly does it mean to ``encapsulate'' DOS and Windows programs? ________________________________________________________________________ Michael B.
