Who Needs This WinComm PRO 1.1 Patch =============================================================== This update corrects issues that were found in copies of WinComm PRO 1.1 (dated earlier than March 24, 1995), and Internet Messenger 1.1. Secondly, this update will add network support (NASI/NCSI) and Winsock support. For more information on using these new features, please consult the file UPDATE.WRI, which can be found in your WinComm PRO directory AFTER executing the patch. The fixes include: WinComm PRO =========== 1) Color properties defined in the New Session Defaults are now retained (and saved) in newly created sessions. 2) Problems resizing terminal rows and columns have been corrected. 3) The modem database has been updated. WinComm now provides support for approximately 550 different modem types. 4) The Delrina WinComm PRO HOST Monitor has been modified to include a minimize toggle. IMPORTANT: Since the WinComm modems list is being updated and modified, you may need to reselect your modem type from the list. If you find that your modem is no longer appearing within the "Modem:" field in the Settings dialog for your existing sessions, perform the following steps: 1) Close all sessions and return to the main phonebook view. 2) From the Setup menu, select Global Defaults or click the Defaults button. 3) Select ALL when asked which entries you want to modify within your phonebook. 4) Select Connection (port and modem) and click OK. 5) Reselect your modem from the "Modem" drop down field. 6) Click OK. 7) All sessions should be updated accordingly. NOTE: You will only need to perform this operation ONCE. Also note that the WinComm PRO HOST now requires the file VBRUN300.DLL (in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory) in order to properly execute the Delrina WinComm HOST session. If you do not have this file, you may download it from either our BBS or CompuServe under the filename VBRUN300.EXE (a self-extracting .zip). Internet Messenger ================== 1) Support for additional service providers, including: - Carleton University - US Internett - NetAccess - EUnet UK (modified) - NetComm (modified) - Spacenet Germany 2) Updated online help file for Internet Messenger. 3) Corrects the program abort error encountered with e-mail containing corrupt headers and/or MIME attachments. B. Upgrading WinComm PRO v1.1 to 1.1 (05/18/95) via Windows 3.x =============================================================== 1. Store the upgrade files on a diskette or on your hard disk. Note: The patch files *must* be run from a NON write-protected diskette. If you are running the patch from a network, be sure that you have write access to the directory in which the patch files are stored. Contact your network administrator if you are unsure or copy the files to your local hard drive or a writeable diskette. 2. Start Windows. 3. If you have the files on a diskette, insert the diskette into the "A" drive. (If the external drive you are using is a letter other than "A", substitute that letter for "A".) 4. From the Program Manager File menu, select Run. 5. In the Run dialog, type the following command line reflecting the location where you stored the upgrade files, for example ... A:\UPGRADE ... then click OK (or press Enter) 6. Click the "Upgrade to 1.1" button in the dialog that appears to continue. Your software is automatically updated to version 1.1 over the next few minutes. C. Upgrading WinComm PRO v1.1 to 1.1 (05/18/95) via MSDOS or OS/2 ================================================================= ** Be sure to EXIT completely from Windows before running the patch files. DO NOT run the patch under a DOS session. ** 1. Store the upgrade files on a diskette or on your hard disk, preferably in a separate directory. Note: The patch files *must* be run from a NON write-protected diskette. If you are running the patch from a network, be sure that you have write access to the directory in which the patch files are stored. Contact your network administrator if you are unsure or copy the files to your local hard drive or a writeable diskette. 2) From the directory where the patch files are stored, type: DOSUP { Your WinComm PRO directory } For example, if your WinComm PRO directory is located in C:\WINCOMM, you would type: DOSUP C:\WINCOMM WinComm will be upgraded and ready to use. Once each of the four patches has been successfully added, you may reload Windows and access WinComm PRO. To ensure that WinComm was successfully patched, select About from the Help menu. The date listed in the Help/About dialog should read May 18, 1995. The Help/About under Internet Messenger should read February 20, 1995. D.
