- Release Notes
- =============
- 02/16/91 Version 1.1
- ----------------------
- There have been many enhancements and a few fixes added to this release.
- The enhancements are listed first, followed by fixes.
-
- Enhancements
-
- - Ability to detect if SM is running in another session.
-
- - Added ability to 'G'o to a date from within a day's display.
-
- - When adding/displaying a record the date is shown in the data entry
- window.
-
- - Weekly time graph is available by person (or all).
-
- - When editing a record, the tab key will move between all fields.
-
- - It is now possible to delete records from the search results display.
-
- - Added a record counter to the mass delete function so that you are
- informed of the # of records deleted.
-
- - Added a confirm box to the repeat event function.
-
- - Added note records to the todo report section of the daily report.
-
- - When printing from a daily view the priority is now included in the
- report.
-
- Fixes
-
- - Fixed color problem when clearing screen between pages in the
- enhanced search display.
-
- - Fixed problem that occurred when the data file grew larger than
- 64k.
-
- - Fixed display problem that caused Schedule*Master to crash the system
- when run under Desqview.
-
- - Removed the dynamic memory allocation routines, as they were causing
- problems on IBM 3270 PC's and in the DOS compatibility mode of OS/2.
- Deleted records are now simply 'flagged' as deleted and a separate
- compress utility was added to reduce the size of files with deleted
- records in them. See the documentation file for more details.
-
- Some of the bugs resulted in the files becoming corrputed after a period
- of time. Registered users will receive a fix program that will correct
- these problems.
-
- If you are using any type of task-switching software (such as Software
- Carrousel) or multi-tasking system (such as DESQVIEW or WINDOWS) DO NOT run
- Schedule*Master in two sessions at the same time. This will cause your files
- to become corrupted and will produce intermittant errors. If you do try
- to run Schedule*Master in 2 sessions you will be warned when the second
- session begins to reply Y or N to continue. Replying Y will allow the
- session to run, hoever if you really do have another session going your
- files will be corrupted.
-
- An additional printer driver has been included called SMDRIVER.STR. This
- driver is for the Star NX1000 Multifont printer. To use it :
-
- 1 - Rename SMDRIVER.DAT to SMDRIVER.IBM
- 2 - Rename SMDRIVER.STR to SMDRIVER.DAT
-
- Although the IBM driver will work with the Star printer, it is not as
- efficient as using the Star driver.
-
- If you experience any problems at all, or want to make a suggestion for
- improving Schedule*Master please contact me at the address listed below. I
- will make every effort to eliminate any bugs reported as soon as possible.

- Misc.Notes
- ==========
-
- Documentation is provided on the distribution diskette as files
-
- SMDOC.TXT - Main documentation file in ASCII format.
- Note that the screen image figures are not
- included in the disk-based documentation,
- nor are the sample reports.
-
- README.DOC - Last minute notes
-
- You may view any of these files by typing the following command :
-
- TYPE filename|MORE
-
- Substitue the 'filename' with the name of the documentation file you wish to
- view. The |MORE will cause the display to stop scrolling when the screen
- becomes full and waits for you to press any character. In order for this to
- work properly you must have the file MORE.COM in a directory accessible via a
- PATH statement (see the DOS manual for instructions on the PATH statement).
- You may also enter TYPE FILENAME and simply display the file continuously on the
- screen.
-
- You may print any of the files by typing the following command :
-
- PRINT filename
-
- Again, substitute the 'filename' with the name of the file you wish to print.
- The file PRINT.COM must be in a directory accessible via a PATH statement in
- order for this to work. If you don't have PRINT.COM (??) then try :
-
- COPY filename PRN
-
- Substitute 'filename' with the name of the file you wish to print.
