Thumbs Up, Adaptec! for Windows
Changes from Previous Versions
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Quick Note
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If you have previously installed Thumbs Up for Windows, you will see two
sets of icons for Thumbs Up, for Readme, and for Thumbs Up Lite Source.
Highlight the original icons, then select File, Delete to delete the
extra icons (using the original icons is not a problem, however, and will
still use the newly installed Thumbs Up files).
Thumbs Up for Windows requires CTL3D.DLL. If you don't have this loaded,
do the following steps:
1). Change to the C:\THUMBSUP subdirectory (or where ever you installed
the files)
2). Type the following to rename the file:
REN CTL3D.SAV CTL3D.DLL
3). Thumbs Up for Windows will now run normally. Click on the icon or use
Program Manager to run it.

New Alchemy Windows Search Engine
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The database search engine, Alchemy, has been upgraded to include new
features, such as:
*Right mouse button support
This simplifies moving through the program. Press the right mouse
button to see the available options.
*Ability to display multiple .TIF images
Alchemy can now display more than one page of attached scanned
documents. This has allowed me to include scanned installation guides
for many Adaptec host adapters.

Added DOS Search Engine

The new engine, THUMBDOS.EXE, can be used to view the databases under DOS.

Adaptec host adapters that support a particular feature (e.g. all

adapters, and a description of the changes. This also includes

address, etc.), default settings, jumper and switch information, and
other good stuff.
