- RELISH(r) 32-Bit Desktop Time and Information Organizer
- Release Notes (README.NOW) for Working Model Version 2.12
- July 1993
-
-
- Thank you for trying the Relish 32-Bit Working Model for OS/2 2.0
- and higher. This file contains information which became available
- after the printed materials went to press.
-
- To install the Relish 32-Bit Working Model, follow the instructions
- which are contained in the printed Introduction accompanying this
- disk or in the INTRO.TXT file on the disk itself.
-
-
-
- Relationship of Relish (16-Bit) and Relish 32-Bit
-
- Relish 32-Bit is a superset of Relish -- everything you can do with
- Relish, you can do with Relish 32-Bit. But the 32-bit version
- includes additional features as well as specific support for use with
- the Workplace Shell of OS/2 Version 2. Consult the User's Guide
- Supplement for details on what's new in the 32-Bit version.
-
-
- Relationship of Relish and Relish Net
-
- From the user's point of view, Relish Net is a functional superset of
- Relish -- everything you can do with Relish, you can do with Relish
- Net. But with Relish Net, you gain the ability to interact with other
- Relish users connected on the same LAN. Relish Net provides both
- personal and group calendaring in one integrated package. Should the
- need arise, you can upgrade your copy of Relish into that for a Relish
- Net workstation. Contact Sundial Systems for details on either the
- 16- or 32-Bit versions of Relish Net.
-
-
- OS/2, Presentation Manager, and Workplace Shell Compatibility:
-
- Relish 32-Bit is designed specifically for use with OS/2 Version 2
- and the Workplace Shell. This includes OS/2 2.1 as well as the OS/2
- 2.0 "General Availability," "Preload" (2.00.1), and "Service Pack"
- (CSD 6055) releases.
-
- If you have questions regarding Relish and your particular release of
- OS/2, please contact Sundial Systems Support Services. Let us know
- the OS/2 version number, date or code number of any OS/2 correction
- or service pack disks, and any specific correction files which have
- been applied.
-
-
- Colors and Fonts
-
- You can change almost all of the fonts and colors used in Relish by
- dragging and dropping a new font or color from the OS/2 Color or Font
- Palettes. When you drop a color, the background of the area you drop
- on is changed by default. To change the foreground color (e.g., the
- color of the text) for any given area, hold down the CTRL key while
- you drop.
-
- You can also switch between two sets of colors based on the setting
- of the Program Colors checkbox in the Setup Desktop dialog. By
- default, Program Colors are turned on and the Relish specific colors
- are used. When Program Colors are turned off, the colors used by
- Relish correspond to those set for your entire desktop -- and any
- changes you make to your desktop colors will be reflected within
- Relish. If, however, you drag-and-drop other colors onto Relish when
- Program Colors are turned off, the areas on which you drop the colors
- will no longer reflect any changes you make to your system-wide
- desktop colors.
-
-
- Printing
-
- While the Working Model does not allow you to print information, we
- will be happy to supply you with sample prints of the various formats.
- If you did not receive any samples with this disk, just give us a call
- and we will send some out to you right away!
-
-
- Limitations
-
- There are a small number of limitations in this version of the
- program. Most are related to underlying limitations or problems in
- the OS/2 Presentation Manager or Workplace Shell for which we have
- not yet found a practical workaround.
-
- Limitations under both OS/2 2.1 and 2.0:
-
- * If you request help (by pressing the F1 key) while dragging across
- the Note Palette, the program will exit ungracefully.
-
- * If you change the shape of the Note Palette to tall and narrow, you
- cannot make it as narrow as you might like.
-
- * If you change the highlighting color of the currently selected note
- in the main window's summary box (by dragging a color from the OS/2
- Color Palette), the resulting color may not match the color you
- selected. In general, only the 16 basic colors supported by a VGA
- display can be used for the background of the highlighting bar;
- the color you select will be mapped to the closest such color (which
- is light grey for many of the pastel colors in the Color Palette).
-
- * Colors and fonts dropped on title bars, menus, and dialogs are
- neither saved nor restored.
-
- * To print to other than the default OS/2 printer, you must enter the
- name of the printer queue (not the printer itself) in the Other
- Printer Name field of the Setup Printer dialog. (This applies only
- if you print using the Relish menu options, not if you drag
- information from Relish to a Workplace Shell printer.)
-
- * If you drag an item from Relish onto the Workplace Shell icon for
- a program (such as the icon for an editor), the program will not be
- executed. (As a workaround, drag the item onto the desktop, then
- drag the resulting text file icon onto the program icon.)
-
- Limitations under OS/2 2.0 (not applicable under OS/2 2.1):
-
- * The program will exit ungracefully if you drop a scheme from the
- scheme palette on the program's main window.
-
- * If you use the OS/2 System Setup to change the "dragging objects"
- mouse button from Button 2 to Button 1, you will not be able to
- drag note type icons from the Note Palette.
-
- * As you drag objects from Relish across objects on the desktop,
- partial outlines may be left around the desktop objects. (This
- problem is corrected by the OS/2 2.0 6055 CSD.)
-
- * Dragging information from Relish and dropping it onto the desktop
- (or into a folder) does not always produce the desired result.
- (This problem was introduced by the OS/2 2.0 6055 CSD.)
-
-
- Features Not Discussed Elsewhere
-
- The following features may not be discussed in the printed
- documentation nor in the on-line help information.
-
- Additional Drag and Drop Support
-
- * If you drag from the system menu icon (in the upper left corner) of
- the main Relish window, you can print whatever is currently in view
- by dropping on any Workplace Shell printer icon.
-
- * If you drag from the system menu icon (in the upper left corner) of
- the calendar window, you can print that month's calendar by dropping
- on any Workplace Shell printer icon.
-
- CID Enablement
-
- The Relish INSTALL program now supports IBM's CID (Configuration,
- Installation, Distribution) standard for remotely installing software
- over a LAN. A sample CID response file, RELISH.RSP, is included on
- the distribution disk. The response file also documents the command
- line arguments supported by the installation program. For more
- information about CID, contact your IBM representative or consult the
- "IBM Network Transport Services/2 Redirected Installation and
- Configuration Guide" (S96F-8488-00).
-
- BocaSoft System Sounds
-
- If you have purchased and installed BocaSoft System Sounds, you can
- have Relish use those sounds instead of its normal chime tones. Thus,
- for instance, you can play a standard WAV file, or your own recorded
- sounds, whenever a Relish reminder appears.
-
- * To change any of the default chime tones, use the Setup Chime Tones
- dialog. Where the text of the chime tone definition would normally
- be entered, type:
-
- @SSND:xx
-
- where xx is the BocaSoft 'event index' number (such as 45). (You
- may also use @BOCA: or @BOCASOFT: in place of @SSND:.)
-
- * To change the chime tone for a specific note, use the Features
- Reminder dialog (while adding or revising the note) and enter the
- @SSND:xx string in the Special Chime Tone field.
-
- Note that BocaSoft's 'User Events' (45 through 49) are intended to be
- used for this type of purpose, but you can use any event index you
- wish -- just be sure the event is not disabled. Also note that no
- sound will be generated unless BocaSoft System Sounds is running at
- the time of the reminder, etc.
-
- For further information on BocaSoft System Sounds, contact your
- favorite OS/2 software product reseller or call BocaSoft directly at
- (407) 392-7743.
