SUMMARY
Digital Communications Associates (DCA) IRMA 3270 Workstation for Windows version 1.1 generates a general protection (GP) fault when running under Microsoft Windows version 3.1 if any of the following conditions are true:


 * TTOnly=1 is in the [TrueType] section of the WIN.INI file.
 * You are using an IRMA 3270 Workstation for Windows version earlier than 1.1 revision D.
 * You are using DCA IRMA Workstation for Windows QuickPad.

TTOnly=1 Is in the [TrueType] Section of WIN.INI
If TTOnly=1 is in the [TrueType] section of the WIN.INI file, a general protection (GP) fault occurs. This entry causes Windows to use only TrueType fonts in Windows-based applications. IRMA 3270 Workstation for Windows, like many other Windows-based 3270 programs, requires that its own fonts be used because of its ability to scale multiple displayed sessions.

To correct this problem:


 * 1) Run Control Panel and choose the Fonts icon.
 * 2) Choose the TrueType button.
 * 3) Clear the Show Only TrueType Fonts In Applications check box.

Using IRMA 3270 Workstation for Windows Earlier than 1.1 Revision D
A GP fault occurs if you install a version of IRMA 3270 Workstation for Windows earlier than 1.1 revision D and install Windows with the SETUP /N command.

This behavior occurs because IRMA automatically installs its fonts into the SYSTEM subdirectory, which does not exist in a network installation of Windows. Windows tries to load those fonts, and can't find them, causing the GP fault.

This is corrected in version 1.1 revision D of IRMA. A workaround is to copy the fonts needed into the shared WINDOWS directory.

Using DCA IRMA Workstation for Windows QuickPad
There is a problem in the DCA Workstation for Windows QuickPad application that results in a GP fault in Windows 3.1 and an Unrecoverable Application Error (UAE) in Windows 3.0.

Contact DCA for information on the availability of upgrades for this program.
