PhoneVu1.1 11/21/92
******Important Notes******
Conversion Utility--A conversion utility has been provided to
allow tranlating data files from earlier versions of PhoneVu to
the 1.1 release. Several fields in each file were enlarged due
to user requests (see bug fixes). You must convert your PhoneVu
1.0 or 1.0a files with this utility in order to correctly provide
read and write access. Read the instructions for the utility's
use carefully in the WRI file before attempting the conversion.
Resolution Problems--The development language used for PhoneVu
is Visual Basic 2.0 from Microsoft. Although very full
featured, theenvironment does not produce applications that are
screen resolution independant. Since I develop these
applications at 1024 x 768 at 256 color resolution, users with
machines running standard VGA (640 x 480) or even SVGA (800 x600)
may have moderate to severe display problems with various window
elements, especially labels. I admit to being somewhat negligent
about testing my applications at the lower resolutions, but have
recently set up a 386SX to test my apps at 800 x 600. Creating
code to maintain relative sizes of text and controls in Windows
thattakes into account screen resolution is very difficult, but I
*am* working on it. Bear with me. If you find some display
problems intolerable, contact me and we'll try to arrange a
satisfactory solution.
Bug Fixes and Enhancements
11/20/92
1. Field size of state and zip code text controls increased to
accomodate Canadian syntax. Call note field size increased 3X.
Phone and fax number field size increased to handle extensions
with 5 digits.
2. The phone call details window gets the phone number appended
to the contact's name to avoid having to backtrack to look up the
number again.
3. The search window now defaults to Pending calls, but will
keep track of which call display filter is active when the
windows is closed (note: the active control is NOT saved when
the application is closed down).
4. Call histories in the Summary List no longer default to all
entries being highlighted. Too many users found this a nuisance.
5. Deleting a name in the phone list used to generate an
error if this was the ONLY name displayed. This has been fixed.
6. A button has been added to access a search facility for the
Phone Book notes field.
7. The look and feel of some windows have been altered for
better feature access.
8. A PHONEVU.INI file is created to store information about EXE
and data file location.
