- Time & Chaos Info
- Announcing v4.02 of Time & Chaos Professional
-
- Highlights of What's New in 4.02 ...
-
- Selective resizing of main screen sections (appts,todo's,etc.)
-
- Usage of a new screen control provides the vehicle
- for resizing each section of the main screen. Your
- sizing and screen position can be saved for use in
- each startup of Time & Chaos.
-
- Logical subdivision of phone books on main screen.
-
- There is a new button on the main screen under the
- phone book list box that will pop up the categories
- selection list. By clicking the desired categories
- and selecting [OK] you can subdivide the present
- phone book based on the categories chosen. The list
- box background will change to blue and the list box
- will contain only those entries selected.
-
- Clicking again on this new button will return the
- phone book list box to its previous full view.
-
- Custom Report Generation.
-
- The Report Menu item on the main screen's menu bar
- now provides for the definition, storing and printing
- of custom reports. Go to the Report area and click
- on the Format Menu item, Click on the Custom option ....
- and knock yourself out.
-
- Group Scheduling of Appointments.
-
- In the TIMEBAR area of Time & Chaos you can super-
- impose several/many calendar sets to get a composite
- view of the schedules for several/many people. Once
- an acceptable group appointment time is chosen you
- will now be able to place this appointment on everyone's
- calendar across the network.
-
- ToDo List Performance.
-
- We have utilized some new techniques to significantly
- increase the performance of the ToDo. The first time you
- start this new version it will automatically optimize your
- todo list to the new format.
-
- * Ability to MOVE or COPY todo's and appointments by dragging to the month calendar
- * Ability to set the appointment start time & end time with keyboard cursor keys
- * Ability to completely disable appointment alarms
- * The Month View! can be changed to Week View! as a default
-
- ...........plus lots of minor little improvements and fixes!
-
-
-
- Special WinFaxPro 3.0 format added to the EXPORT Utility.
-
- One of the programs on our optional ($15.95) utitlities
- disc is EXPORT. This program exports Time & Chaos data to
- standard dBase formatted files. A new format option has
- been added to EXPORT so that it creates dBase files
- compatable with WinFaxPro 3.0. This allows T&C users to
- output their white/yellow pages in a format acceptable
- to WinFaxPro 3.0. These files can be added to WinFaxPro's
- list of phonebooks.
-
- Thus Time and Chaos could be the single source of your
- contact phone numbers.
-
-
-
-
- To INSTALL Version 4.02:
-
- Run the INSTALL.EXE utility included with this diskette.
- From the Windows Program Manager or File Manager, use the
- File Menu to get to the Run Command.
-
- By default, a new subdirectory will be suggested called C:\chaos40
- and all of the appropriate files will be copied there. You can
- change this to a subdirectory of your choice.
-
- The install utility will also create a new Program Manager Group
- and ICONS for you.
-
- After Installation you can run the program, by just double clicking on the
- Time & Chaos ICON, as you would with any windows program.
-
-
- UPGRADING INFORMATION:
-
- A. If you are upgrading from a 4.x version of Time & Chaos it is
- important that you understand the following points:
-
- You should use the INSTALL utility since there are many files
- that must be added to your existing Time & Chaos files.
-
- Instruct the install utility to put the new files in the DOS
- subdirectory where your current version of Time & Chaos is installed.
-
-
- B. If you are upgrading from a 3.x version of Time & Chaos it is
- important that you understand the following points:
-
- Time & Chaos should be installed to a different subdirectory
- than before.
-
- As such, your datafiles will need to be COPIED to the new
- subdirectory. You can do this by copying your old datafiles
- to the new subdirectory.
-
- You must copy:
-
- Appt.isd
- Appt.isf
- Appt.ism
- Appt.isp (only if you have one)
-
- ToDoList.isd
- ToDoList.isf
- ToDoList.ism
-
- PhoneBk.isd
- PhoneBk.isf
- PhoneBk.ism
-
- YPhoneBk.isd
- YPhoneBk.isf
- YPhoneBk.ism
-
- OR.... A simple DOS command: COPY C:\CHAOS\*.IS* C:\CHAOS40
- will take care of this for you.
-
- OR ... Copy {drive}:\{path}\*.IS* {drive}:\{path} for the
- general case.
-
-
- SPECIAL NOTE FOR Version 3.x Upgrade Users:
-
- The first time that you start the new version. It will ask you if it is OK to
- convert your datafiles to the new format. Once, you convert these files they
- may NOT be used with a previous version of Time & Chaos, so DO NOT DELETE your
- old datafiles until you are sure that you love the new version.
