- Compatibility Statement
- Campbell Services Inc.'s OnTime v2.0 and OnTime for Windows v1.0
- (both network versions) are compatible with LANtastic NOS version
- 4.xx.
-
- Product Overview
- OnTime lets you schedule appointments and maintain the calendar for
- a workgroup. The main screen of OnTime displays a day planner and
- a narrow box that shows at a glance occupied blocks of time during
- the day. Most of the program's functions can be accessed through
- a handful of push-button keys at the bottom of the screen, which
- includes adding and deleting appointments, adding and attaching
- notes, rescheduling appointments, searching for keywords, printing
- a calendar and replacing the day planner with either a week-at-a-
- glance or a month-at-a-glance view. In addition to appointments,
- it also allows you to maintain to-do lists. To-do items can be
- prioritized and set to automatically roll over until marked
- completed.
-
- The network version supports group scheduling (on a group
- calendar), including notification to the individual that an
- appointment has been added to his or her calendar. Each user can
- maintain the access rights of other users to his/her private
- calendar, and s/he can belong to different groups to gain access
- to the group calendars. OnTime produces tri-fold/duplex reports
- that combines different formats and views of the schedule on one
- page.
-
- Product Installation Notes
-
- OnTime comes with a slim manual which covers installation on LANs
- in general, but a document explaining how to set up OnTime on a
- LANtastic network is available on request from Campbell Services'
- Tech. Support. Installation is very automated, and the Windows
- version offers to install OnTime in your list of Windows programs
- loaded at startup and modify your win.ini.
-
- OnTime must be installed onto a drive that can be accessed by all
- users and must have the same drive designator for all users,
- including the server. However, a server with files required to
- initialize or shutdown Windows should not remap any of its local
- drives to network drives, or else Windows will lock up on the logo
- screen during initialization (For details, please refer to Chapter
- 11 Using LANtastic with Microsoft Windows in the LANtastic NOS
- version 4.1 Upgrade Manual). Instead the DOS SUBST command should
- be used, e.g. SUBST d: c:\ontime.
-
- Executable files in the \ONTIME directory must be set to read-only
- by the DOS ATTRIB command. After installation, you will need to
- add users to the system through the SETUPNET(for DOS) or
- WSETUPN(for Windows) utility. Each user's access can be
- password'ed. DOS SHARE is required on the server but not the
- workstations. Memory requirement for OnTime's TSR is 15k when in
- background, 380k when in foreground. It cannot be loaded high
- with the DOS loadhigh command, or with any of the popular memory
- managers.
-
- Product Execution Notes
-
- To invoke OnTime, type ONTIME or OTLOAD for DOS, or click on the
- icon set up to run OTWIN.exe for Windows. It will then prompt you
- for the user name. The loader will swap itself to EMS memory if
- available. It was noticed that the Ontime for Windows' alarm
- tunes may not play to completion when running in Windows. This is
- due to a minor problem with the LANtastic redirector. A
- workaround is also available which needs to turn off network
- bleeping altogether, but in most cases users will not need to
- worry about this cosmetic problem and the impact to the usage of
- the product is minimal.
-
- Printing
-
- The DOS version of OnTime has an Options menu that allows you to
- select a printer port. The Windows version allows changes by
- selecting Files/Printer Setup from the top menu bar. As for all
- Windows applications, since Windows v3.x attempts to optimize LPT1
- ports for local printing, you must connect your local LPT2 or LPT3
- ports to network printers. See Chapter 11 in the LANtastic NOS
- v4.1 Upgrade Manual for details.
