                    Windows 1.03


The primary differences between Windows version
1.01 and Windows version 1.03 are:

     - Version 1.03 of Windows now supports the
AT&T 6300 and 6300 Plus.

     - A number of additional device drivers
have been added, and some of the drivers shipped
in 1.01 have been enhanced.  Users who have
installed printer drivers shipped in the 1.01
release should replace them with the 1.03
drivers included on the Utility disk (the Setup
program does not automatically install updated
printer drivers).

     - 14, 18, and 24 point sizes have been
added to the Tms Rmn and Helv fonts.

     - Several PIF files have been changed to
correspond to the latest releases of the
applications.

     - MS-DOS Version 3.20 is now completely
supported.  This includes support for the IBM
4865 Personal Computer 3.5" External Diskette
Drive.

     - The new features of the IBM keyboard
shipped with the IBM Personal Computer XT 5160
Models 268, 278, and 089, and the IBM Personal
Computer AT 5170 Model 339 are supported.

     - Version 1.03 of Windows supports all of
the features of and replaces both the 1.01
version of Windows shipped in the US, and the
1.02 version shipped in Europe.

Location of PIF files:

The PIF files (files containing information used
in running standard applications under Windows)
are now located on the Write disk.  For users
setting up on a hard disk, the Setup program
will automatically copy the PIF files to a 'PIF'
sub-directory of the directory that you have
selected for the Windows program.  Users setting
up Windows on a dual-floppy system should
consult the Windows Users Guide for information
on using PIF files.

Running Windows Applications that create
temporary files:

While you are running a Windows application that
creates a temporary file (see the Windows Update
for additional information), do not delete the
temporary file.  Deleting temporary files can
cause Windows applications to behave erratically
and potentially halt the system.  The same
restriction applies to files that you are
editting with Windows application - do not
delete a datafile while you are using a Windows
application to edit it.

Erratum for the Write Update:

Under the section "Backing Up a Microsoft Word
Document", the filename extension of the backup
in the second case in incorrect.  If you open a
Word document with Windows Write, and then save
it with using the Windows Write format rather
than as a Word document, the backup file will
have the extension .BAK, not .BKP.

Saving Windows Write documents with pictures as
Word documents:

If you have created a Windows Write document
with pictures in it, and you save this document
with the Microsoft Word format option, the
pictures will not be saved as part of the
document.

Printing from Windows to the Apple LaserWriter:

There are a number of important features to
understand when printing from Windows to the
Apple Laserwriter.

     - When printing to an Apple LaserWriter,
both the printer and your computer should be set
to operate at 9600 baud.  Use the
"Communications Port ..." command in the Setup
menu of the Control Panel to set the baud rate
on the appropriate serial port on your computer,
and consult your Apple LaserWriter Users Guide
to set the baud rate on your printer.

     - When printing to an Apple LaserWriter,
the win.ini entry for "spooler=" should be set
to "yes".  This is the default win.ini setting.
Printing with this set to "no" may cause print
jobs to be unnecessarily terminated while the
printer is processing your document.

     - The LaserWriter Plus font ITC Zapf
Dingbats can be selected in Windows
applications, but it will be displayed on the
screen as normal ANSI characters rather than the
shapes that actually compose the font (since
these shapes are not part of the standard
Windows character set).  Printed output to the
LaserWriter Plus will not be affected.

     - Certain very complicated print jobs may
cause the printer to spend extended amounts of
time "computing" the image.  This will
occasionally cause the spooler to put up an
alert indicating that the printer is not
responding.  When this occurs, you should click
the "RETRY" button and the print job will
continue normally.

     - LaserWriters with PostScript version 2.0
or higher can be configured to use either
software or hardware handshaking.  Version 2.0
of PostScript was released in March of 1986, and
is shipped on all LaserWriter Plus printers.  If
you have any questions about which version of
PostScript is included in your printer, or if
you have questions about upgrading to the latest
version of Postscript, contact your dealer.  To
configure the LaserWriter's handshaking mode,
copy either the "lasrhard.txt" or "lasrsoft.txt"
file (both of these files are located on the
Setup disk) to the printer port of your computer
that is connected to the LaserWriter.  For
example, if your Apple LaserWriter is connected
to your COM1: serial port, and you want to use
software handshaking, you would type "copy
lasrsoft.txt com1:" in DOS prior to running
Windows and printing to the LaserWriter.

     Note1:  Configuring the handshaking of your
Apple LaserWriter needs only to be done
once.  The information is then permanently
recorded in the LaserWriter, and is
maintained even when the printer is turned
off.

     Note2:  Most MS-DOS network print servers
use hardware handshaking.  If you intend to
print to your LaserWriter across a network,
you will have to configure your printer for
hardware handshaking.

Running Windows on the AT&T 6300:

To run Windows on the AT&T 6300 and 6300 Plus, a
user should select the appropriate AT&T display,
pointing device and keyboard options when
running the Setup program.

In order to support the various memory
configurations available on the AT&T 6300 and
6300 Plus, an additonal optional parameter has
been added fo the ramdrive entry for the
config.sys file.  The following is the enhanced
syntax for the config.sys entry, and also an
explanation of the new /U parameter.

DEVICE=[d:][path]RAMDRIVE.SYS [size] [sectors]
[entries] [/E or /A or /U]

/U    Specifies that upper extended memory is to
be used. It is an error to use this switch if
the machine is other than a PC6300+. The error
message issued is "RAMDrive: Invalid parameter".
No more than 384Kb of RAM disk size can be
specified and information will be lost on a
system re-boot (warm or cold). As for the /E
case, 1Kb is devoted to system overhead
regardless of the number of such disks
installed.

Other parameters are unchanged (see "How to Set
Up RAMDrive" in the Windows User's Guide).

The following AT&T printers are compatible with
printers that are supported by drivers already
included in the Windows package.

     - The AT&T Model 470 and Model 475 printers
are compatible with the C- Itoh 8510 printer.

     - The AT&T Model 473 and 478 printers are
compatible with the IBM Graphics printer.

     - The AT&T Model 435 plotter is compatible
with the Hewlett Packard HP 7475 plotter.

To use the Display Enhancement Board with
Windows you must install the device driver
DEDRIVER.DEV.  This software can be found on the
disk accompanying the DEB hardware.  Place the
file in your root directory, add the entry
'device=dedriver.dev' to your config.sys file,
and reboot.

On the AT&T 6300 and 6300 PLUS machines, it may
be necessary to force a graphics screen grab to
achieve a proper capture of graphics data from a
standard application such as Lotus 1A. In such a
case, use the command Shift-Alt-PrtSc in place
of Alt-PrtSc.

Certain configurations of the AT&T 6300 PLUS may
require modifications to use RAMDRIVE.SYS with
the Intel Above Board. If you experience a
problem, contact the AT&T hotline at 800-922-
0354 for help.

If you selected the AT&T 6300 keyboard mouse
during setup and you decide later not to use it,
you may remove the mouse pointer from the screen
by making the following entry in your WIN.INI
file:
[Mouse6300]
    use=?
To restore the mouse pointer, change the value
to use=1.

If you have the AT&T standard (indigenous)
display board in your machine and a color
monitor, you may select a number of possible
background colors.  You may also make this same
selection if you do not have a color monitor,
but the effect is to produce a different shade
of green in the Windows background.  The color
numbers are:

0 - black     1 - blue     2 - green     3 - cyan
4 - red     5 - magenta     6 - brown     7 - white
8 - grey     9 - light blue     10 - light green     11 - light cyan
12 - light red     13 - light magenta     14 - yellow     15 - bright
white

To select a color, make the following entry in
your WIN.INI file
[INDBoard]
   background=7
replacing the default value of 7 (white) by one
of the numbers given above (except black).

If you have the AT&T Display Enhancement Board
(DEB) in your machine and during setup you chose
the standard monochrome display (which might be
desirable for operations requiring very fast
screen updates), you can still have foreground
and background colors if you have a color
monitor.     Use the color chart above along
with the entry given below in your WIN.INI file.
If you have only the standard monochrome monitor
connected to the DEB, the effect will be to give
various shades of green to the foreground and
background.     Note that you must have already
loaded the DEB driver software (see the
documentation for the DEB board).  Also note
that equal values of foreground and background
colors are not permitted.  In this case, the
software will choose the selected foreground
color and its complementary background color.
The default colors are black foreground against
a white background.
[DEBBoard]
    foreground=0
    background=7

If you are using the DEB board in full color
(you chose the Display Enhancement Board option
during setup), you may set the mouse cursor
color against its background color.   The
following sample WIN.INI entry will select a
blue cursor against white or black and the
default values against any other color.
[DEBCursor]

CCBlack=1     ; cursor is blue against black
CCRed=11     ; cursor is light cyan against red
CCGreen=13     ; cursor is light magenta against green
CCYellow=9     ; cursor is light blue against yellow
CCBlue=14     ; cursor is yellow against light blue
CCMagenta=10     ; cursor is light green against magenta
CCCyan=12     ; cursor is light red against cyan
CCWhite=1     ; cusors is blue against white


Using the Text Only (TTY) printer driver for
daisy wheel printers:

If you have a daisywheel printer or other text-
only printer, or a graphics printer that is not
supported with a specific printer driver, use
the Generic/Text Only printer driver.  This
driver can be selected either in the Setup
program, or by using the "Add Printer ..."
command in the Installation menu of the Control
Panel.
