- CHANGES IN DOS ASSISTANT VERSION 2.1
-
-
- The interrupt handlers for version 2.2 where rewritten as there was a
- problem when using the program with Keytronic keyboards. Activation of
- the help window is no longer done with "Ctrl" + "Right Shift", but
- defaults to "Alt H". This can be changed if it interferes with other
- program commands by using the configuration program or using the
- /Kxxxx command line switch.
-
- All program options can now be set with command line switches.
-
- The program sometimes would not update the current date after
- midnight. This has been corrected.
-
- When the help window was displayed most concurrent programs such as
- the print spooler PRINT.COM would be temporarily halted. This is
- corrected in version 2.2.
-
- The configuration program was completely rewritten to reduce it's
- size.
-
- Restrictions as to who can use the program have been lifted.
-
- KNOWN INCOMPATIBILITIES
-
- The help window should not be called when using Microsoft Word. Word
- temporarily takes over system interrupt 09h and if the help window is
- displayed at such a time the system will appear to lockup as DOS
- Assistant cannot be exited because it is told no keys are being
- pressed even though some are. It's alright to have DOS Assistant
- resident in your computer, just don't try to activate the window until
- you exit from WORD.
-
- If you find other incompatibilities or information errors please feel
- free to write and let us know about them so that they may be corrected
- in future version of the program. Address any "bug" reports to:
-
- BUGS
- c/o PCM Software
- P.O. Box 1915
- Grafton, VA 23692
-
- I can't offer phone support but I will try to answer any questions
- by mail. If the question is urgent I can be reached evenings at
- (804) 887-0701 after 6:00 pm EST.
