Enfish Tracker Pro Readme
Version 1.2 provides significant performance and feature enhancements as described below:
╖ Performance enhancements. Enfish Tracker Pro now locates your information more
than 100% faster than previous versions.
╖ Additional Web search locations. We've added over a dozen new ones in addition
to Yahoo!, AltaVista, Excite, and InfoSeek
╖ Share Trackers. This feature allows you to select a Tracker and its associated
results and share them with other Enfish Tracker Pro users.
╖ New Overview and Tutorial helps you get most out of Enfish Tracker Pro, quickly.
We invite you to take a few minutes to view these. (If you choose to view them
later, you can access them by opening up the Help menu and selecting Getting Started.)
╖ Stopping a query before it completes can now be accomplished by pressing the ESC key.
╖ Other improvements and enhancements, described in detail below, include
╖ Expanded Email support
╖ More streamlined approach to tracking various types of files
╖ Newly designed QuickNotes
╖ Enhanced Internet accessibility and functionality
╖ Installation functionality has been enhanced
╖ Various known problems have been fixed
╖ Uninstall problems have been identified and noted below
╖ Technical support information has been changed slightly and is noted below
Email
Our email support now includes the following enhancements:
╖ HTML-based email has been fully integrated.
╖ All sub-folders in mail applications are now fully tracked.
╖ All email attachments are properly identified by type.
╖ Errors viewing Eudora mail messages have been corrected.
╖ Lotus Notes email is now being fully tracked.
╖ MAPI email has been refined to return more accurate results.
In addition, the following paragraphs describe other refinements that were
made to email support:
Lotus Notes email password procedures
In order for Enfish Tracker Pro to properly track Lotus Notes email, you must provide
your Lotus Notes password to Enfish Tracker Pro. If you choose Lotus email as your
primary email program at installation time, the installer will automatically ask for
your password and Lotus email information will be tracked during the initial analysis
of your machine's data. This is the preferred method for entering your Lotus Notes
password. If you choose a different primary email package during installation, and
you still wish to track your Lotus email, you will need to enter your Lotus Notes
password in Enfish Tracker Pro's Options dialog. Here are the steps:
1. Select "Options..." from the "Tools" menu in Enfish Tracker Pro.
2. Click on the "Lotus Email" item under the "Email" section of "My Tracked Information."
3. Check the box next to your mail account name and enter your password in the edit box
labeled "Password."
4. Click the "Apply" button. Lotus email will now be tracked, assuming the correct
password was entered. (Note that if you accidentally entered the wrong Lotus Notes
password during installation, you will need to perform the above steps to enter
the correct password.)
Tracking MAPI email
If you have a supported MAPI email program (such as Outlook 97, Outlook 98, or CCMail)
and you do not select it as your primary email program during installation, Enfish
Tracker Pro will not track it. Many computers have old, unknown or never used MAPI
email profiles configured in Windows. To prevent Enfish Tracker Pro from accidentally
attempting to track something that you don't want to have tracked, Enfish Tracker Pro
will ignore that information unless you instruct us that it is your primary email
during installation. If you selected the incorrect email package during installation,
select the Options item under the Tools menu in Enfish Tracker Pro and select the
correct email packages to track.
Password procedures for Lotus cc:Mail
If you include the information service for Lotus cc:Mail in your mail profile, you must
check the "Remember password" checkbox on the service's property page or unpredictable
behavior may result. Here are the steps:
1. Go to Windows Control Panel and open the Mail control panel (sometimes called
"Mail and Fax")
2. Highlight the Lotus cc:Mail information service and click "Properties."
3. If the "Remember password" checkbox is not checked, check it and click "OK"
4. Enter your cc:Mail password if prompted to do so.
Netscape version 4.5
We have included support for Netscape Communicator 4.5 in version 1.11 and greater.
We now track all Netscape Bookmarks and mail (including multiple Netscape mail accounts)
Tracking File Types
In versions prior to 1.1 of Enfish Tracker Pro, all file types were dealt with on
an exclude basis. That is, unless you specifically requested us not to find a file type,
Enfish Tracker Pro would track it. In order to improve performance, our 1.1 and later
releases work by specifying which file types to include. A list of these included files
types can be seen by going to the Tools menu, selecting Options, then Files,
then Tracked File Types.
New design of Quick Notes
We have developed a new look and feel to our popular QuickNote application. Designed to
enable you to jot down notes and link your information 'on the fly,' QuickNotes
retain their auto-naming and auto-saving features, and present a friendlier look.
Enhanced Internet functionality
America OnLine
We have expanded our compatibility to include support for AOL Favorite Places.
We support AOL version 3.0 for Windows 95 or greater.
Internet Explorer 5 Beta
Internet Explorer 5.0 Beta is now fully supported in version 1.10 and greater.
All IE5 Favorites are fully tracked and IE5 can be used to view all .htm and .html
files as well as Web pages in the viewer.
Netscape version 4.5
We have included support for Netscape Communicator 4.5 in version 1.11 and greater.
We now track all Netscape Bookmarks and mail (including multiple Netscape mail accounts)
Web Sites
We have improved our Internet Web Site tracking. In previous versions it is
possible that incoming mail would prevent certain sites from being tracked.
In the 1.20 release, when Web tracking is interrupted by mail, Tracker returns
to the Web Site that was previously being tracked.
Options for Viewing Web Pages
Viewing capabilities of Internet Explorer can be improved by setting an
option to have Web pages handled by IE and utilizing the latest HTML
capabilities (as opposed to using the built-in viewer). To select this
option, open up the "Options..." selection from the "Tools" menu.
Select "Preferences" and then select the tab labeled "Viewer." If it's not
already selected, select the checkbox "Use Microsoft Internet Explorer to
view Web pages." This will not affect your default browser application inside
of Windows. The ability to track and find web pages is not affected by how this
option is set.
Installation improvements
Windows NT
You must have administrator rights to install Enfish Tracker Pro in Windows NT.
Smart Downloads
When installing Enfish Tracker Pro from the Internet, the Smart Download
of the installation files for Enfish Tracker Pro will usually occur in multiple
stages. The initial download will include Enfish Tracker Pro files that are
required by all users of the product. The installer will determine if required
support files provided by Microsoft and INSO are installed in your version of
Windows. If those files are not installed or configured, or if older versions
are detected, the installer will download the necessary files from the Enfish
Web site. If the Enfish Tracker Pro installer requires additional files from
the Enfish web site, you should remain connected to the Internet after you
complete the initial download of the Enfish Tracker Pro installation file
and then immediately install Enfish Tracker Pro.
Installing when you connect to the Internet using a proxy server
If you connect to the Internet through a proxy server, the installer
will not download the required additional installation components if your
proxy is not properly configured in Windows. If you are having difficulty
connecting through your proxy, please contact Technical Support for assistance.
Installing with Windows 95b bug fixed
We have fixed an installation problem related to a specific configuration
of Windows 95b. We are now fully compatible with all versions of
Windows 95, 98 and NT version 4.0 or greater. (NT 5.0 Beta not yet included)
Known Problems
Corrupt CAB file
If you receive an error during installation about a corrupt CAB file,
your download was not completed. Please restart the installation
process and re-download all components.
Sending email from the Help menu
Sending email from the Help/Contact Enfish/Email Technical Support menu
option requires simple MAPI to be configured in Windows. This feature
of the program will use the default MAPI client to send the email,
which may not always be the email client that you actually use.
If you encounter problems doing this, Technical support is available
from the Enfish Website.
Selecting Trackers before a query is complete
When a Tracker is selected in the Trackers list, Enfish Tracker Pro
begins to look for the requested information and a status bar
containing a Stop button appears at the bottom of the Enfish Tracker Pro.
At this point you should refrain from selecting an additional Tracker
until the information has been found or the Stop button is pressed.
You can currently select other Trackers and interrupt the search.
This does not usually cause problems, but if you select enough Trackers
in a very rapid manner it is possible to cause Enfish Tracker Pro to
terminate abnormally.
AOL users having problems tracking Web sites
If you are using America Online as your Internet Service Provider,
Enfish Tracker Pro requires America Online for Windows 95 3.0 or higher.
If you are having trouble performing Internet searches or tracking
Internet sites with your AOL Internet connection, please verify that
you have a supported version of the America Online software.
If you require assistance, please contact Technical Support.
Updating network drives "in real time"
In Options, if you add a network drive to track you will be offered the option
to "Keep this information up to date in real time". This option should
only be available to Fixed Disks.
Tracking network drives
In Options, after adding a network drive to be tracked that drive will
continue to be tracked until you remove it from Options. To do this go
to Tools | Options | Files and highlight the drive you wish to remove.
Select Delete. Note this will not delete the information on the drive.
This will simply not track this information in Enfish Tracker Pro.
Internal Error Value bug
We have solved the Internal Error Value some customers had seen in Release 1.02.
The ability to configure how your information is tracked is now fully functional.
To configure what information you want to track, go to the Tools menu and select Options.
Uninstalling Enfish Tracker Pro
On some occasions some Enfish Tracker Pro files cannot be removed until you
reboot your computer. If the uninstall suggests that you reboot your computer,
please save all work in progress, close all running programs, and restart Windows.
Some problems have been reported when using other uninstall systems such as
CyberMedia Uninstaller or Quarterdeck CleanSweep. Please use the uninstaller
provided with Enfish Tracker Pro should you wish to uninstall the program.
The uninstaller can be run from the Enfish Tracker Pro group on the Start Menu,
or from the Add/Remove programs application in the Windows Control Panel.
Contacting Enfish Technical Support
Should you need to send a problem report to Enfish Technical Support, please go to the
Help menu in Enfish Tracker Pro, select the Contact Enfish option, and then select
the Email Technical Support option. Please complete the form as thoroughly as possible
and click the Send button to email your support request to Enfish. This is the
preferred method of reporting issues to Support Services
