- WinNAV - Windows Navigator Update 3.00.61 (June 8, 1991)
- =====================================================
-
- ******************************************************
- If you already have NAV060.EXE, you need the NAV!60.EXE update,
- otherwise you only need the archive NAV061.EXE.

-
- A Problem
- ---------
-
- As luck would have it, within two days of the release of WinNAV 3.00.60,
- a rather embarrassing bug was reported.
-
- It appears that when an error occurred the internal error message box
- would be called, but, instead of displaying an error message, it created
- a bigger error which in turn crashed WinNAV on some systems. However, if
- you were one of those gifted individuals who never mis-typed a directory
- or file name, you could have gone for ever and never experienced this
- particular bug.
-
- There also was a problem in the print selected file function (File/Print
- popup menu) which is fixed by this update.
-
- A Solution
- ----------
-
- WinNAV 3.00.61 was not expected to be released until several significant
- enhancements were added, which would have been several months down the
- road; however, the needed fix needed to get out before then. Thus, the
- release 3.00.61 is now the bug fix, and the enhancements will appear in
- release 3.00.62 instead.
-
- The following distribution files constitute the full WinNAV 3.00.61 bug
- fix release. The following distribution (self-extracting archive) files,
- when combined:
-
- NAV060.EXE The original 3.00.60 distribution files
-
- NAV!60.EXE The bug fix release of (WINNAV.EXE); this
- contains a replacement for the WINNAV.EXE
- file contained in the NAV060.EXE archive
-
- Or, the self extracting archive file NAV061.EXE, which contains all
- files from the two aforementioned distribution archives.
-
- We elected to distribute the fix and update in this fashion, so that
- those who previously acquired the NAV060.EXE archive would not again have
- to download all the duplicate file from services such as CompuServe.
-
- Therefore, if you already have NAV060.EXE, you need NAV!60.EXE, otherwise
- you only need NAV061.EXE.
-
-
- Additional Features
- -------------------
-
- WinNAV 3.00.61 does have at least a few minor enhancements. If the user
- wishes to invoke a different Editor (invoked from the Action/Editor popup
- menu) or a different Print utility (invoked by the File/Print popup menu)
- the following keywords and application strings may be added to the
- WINNAV.INI file [WinNAV] section:
-
- Editor=C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE
- Print=C:\WINDOWS\WINQPRT.EXE
-
- The application drive, path and names can be changed as needed by the user,
- thus
-
- Editor=WRITE.EXE
-
- will load Microsoft Windows Write as the Action Editor.
-
-
- Conclusion
- ----------
-
- We appologize to those users who have downloaded the problem files, and
- hope our prompt response in distributing the bug fix will show our
- strong desire to maintain and support what we consider to be one of the
- superior Windows application interfaces.
