[comp.windows.ms] Renaming clock.spx to something else

hjp@usenet.umr.edu (Hardy Pottinger) (07/11/90)

  This is an interesting solution to the problem with clock.spx.  The
only question I have is 'why does clock work on my PS2/50 (286) and
not on my DTK 386?'.  I'm running clock.exe as an icon on both
machines.  Clock.spx gets corrupted on the 386 and corrupts several
other spx files and generally results in rather flakey behavior.  On
the 286, all is fine!  Hmm... I may have just answered my own
question.  My windows dir is not in my path on the 286 but is on the
386.  Oh well.
  Another question... I've looked and looked in both Rev 2 SDK manuals
and Rev 3 users manual for info on WIN.INI.  Is this something one is
just born with or is there a reference somewhere that I'm missing?  (I
don't have the SDK3 yet... not one of the priveleged few.)
