RELISH(r) 32-Bit Desktop Time and Information Organizer
Release Notes (README.NOW) for Working Model Version 2.12
July 1993
Thank you for trying the Relish 32-Bit Working Model for OS/2 2.0
and higher. This file contains information which became available
after the printed materials went to press.
To install the Relish 32-Bit Working Model, follow the instructions
which are contained in the printed Introduction accompanying this
disk or in the INTRO.TXT file on the disk itself.
Relationship of Relish (16-Bit) and Relish 32-Bit
Relish 32-Bit is a superset of Relish -- everything you can do with
Relish, you can do with Relish 32-Bit. But the 32-bit version
includes additional features as well as specific support for use with
the Workplace Shell of OS/2 Version 2. Consult the User's Guide
Supplement for details on what's new in the 32-Bit version.
Relationship of Relish and Relish Net
From the user's point of view, Relish Net is a functional superset of
Relish -- everything you can do with Relish, you can do with Relish
Net. But with Relish Net, you gain the ability to interact with other
Relish users connected on the same LAN. Relish Net provides both
personal and group calendaring in one integrated package. Should the
need arise, you can upgrade your copy of Relish into that for a Relish
Net workstation. Contact Sundial Systems for details on either the
16- or 32-Bit versions of Relish Net.
OS/2, Presentation Manager, and Workplace Shell Compatibility:
Relish 32-Bit is designed specifically for use with OS/2 Version 2
and the Workplace Shell. This includes OS/2 2.1 as well as the OS/2
2.0 "General Availability," "Preload" (2.00.1), and "Service Pack"
(CSD 6055) releases.
If you have questions regarding Relish and your particular release of
OS/2, please contact Sundial Systems Support Services. Let us know
the OS/2 version number, date or code number of any OS/2 correction
or service pack disks, and any specific correction files which have
been applied.
Colors and Fonts
You can change almost all of the fonts and colors used in Relish by
dragging and dropping a new font or color from the OS/2 Color or Font
Palettes. When you drop a color, the background of the area you drop
on is changed by default. To change the foreground color (e.g., the
color of the text) for any given area, hold down the CTRL key while
you drop.
You can also switch between two sets of colors based on the setting
of the Program Colors checkbox in the Setup Desktop dialog. By
default, Program Colors are turned on and the Relish specific colors
are used. When Program Colors are turned off, the colors used by
Relish correspond to those set for your entire desktop -- and any
changes you make to your desktop colors will be reflected within
Relish. If, however, you drag-and-drop other colors onto Relish when
Program Colors are turned off, the areas on which you drop the colors
will no longer reflect any changes you make to your system-wide
desktop colors.
Printing
While the Working Model does not allow you to print information, we
will be happy to supply you with sample prints of the various formats.
If you did not receive any samples with this disk, just give us a call
and we will send some out to you right away!
Limitations
There are a small number of limitations in this version of the
program. Most are related to underlying limitations or problems in
the OS/2 Presentation Manager or Workplace Shell for which we have
not yet found a practical workaround.
Limitations under both OS/2 2.1 and 2.0:
* If you request help (by pressing the F1 key) while dragging across
the Note Palette, the program will exit ungracefully.
* If you change the shape of the Note Palette to tall and narrow, you
cannot make it as narrow as you might like.
* If you change the highlighting color of the currently selected note
in the main window's summary box (by dragging a color from the OS/2
Color Palette), the resulting color may not match the color you
selected. In general, only the 16 basic colors supported by a VGA
display can be used for the background of the highlighting bar;
the color you select will be mapped to the closest such color (which
is light grey for many of the pastel colors in the Color Palette).
* Colors and fonts dropped on title bars, menus, and dialogs are
neither saved nor restored.
* To print to other than the default OS/2 printer, you must enter the
name of the printer queue (not the printer itself) in the Other
Printer Name field of the Setup Printer dialog. (This applies only
if you print using the Relish menu options, not if you drag
information from Relish to a Workplace Shell printer.)
* If you drag an item from Relish onto the Workplace Shell icon for
a program (such as the icon for an editor), the program will not be
executed. (As a workaround, drag the item onto the desktop, then
drag the resulting text file icon onto the program icon.)
Limitations under OS/2 2.0 (not applicable under OS/2 2.1):
* The program will exit ungracefully if you drop a scheme from the
scheme palette on the program's main window.
* If you use the OS/2 System Setup to change the "dragging objects"
mouse button from Button 2 to Button 1, you will not be able to
drag note type icons from the Note Palette.
* As you drag objects from Relish across objects on the desktop,
partial outlines may be left around the desktop objects. (This
problem is corrected by the OS/2 2.0 6055 CSD.)
* Dragging information from Relish and dropping it onto the desktop
(or into a folder) does not always produce the desired result.
(This problem was introduced by the OS/2 2.0 6055 CSD.)
Features Not Discussed Elsewhere
The following features may not be discussed in the printed
documentation nor in the on-line help information.
Additional Drag and Drop Support
* If you drag from the system menu icon (in the upper left corner) of
the main Relish window, you can print whatever is currently in view
by dropping on any Workplace Shell printer icon.
* If you drag from the system menu icon (in the upper left corner) of
the calendar window, you can print that month's calendar by dropping
on any Workplace Shell printer icon.
CID Enablement
The Relish INSTALL program now supports IBM's CID (Configuration,
Installation, Distribution) standard for remotely installing software
over a LAN. A sample CID response file, RELISH.RSP, is included on
the distribution disk. The response file also documents the command
line arguments supported by the installation program. For more
information about CID, contact your IBM representative or consult the
"IBM Network Transport Services/2 Redirected Installation and
Configuration Guide" (S96F-8488-00).
BocaSoft System Sounds
If you have purchased and installed BocaSoft System Sounds, you can
have Relish use those sounds instead of its normal chime tones. Thus,
for instance, you can play a standard WAV file, or your own recorded
sounds, whenever a Relish reminder appears.
* To change any of the default chime tones, use the Setup Chime Tones
dialog. Where the text of the chime tone definition would normally
be entered, type:
@SSND:xx
where xx is the BocaSoft 'event index' number (such as 45). (You
may also use @BOCA: or @BOCASOFT: in place of @SSND:.)
* To change the chime tone for a specific note, use the Features
Reminder dialog (while adding or revising the note) and enter the
@SSND:xx string in the Special Chime Tone field.
Note that BocaSoft's 'User Events' (45 through 49) are intended to be
used for this type of purpose, but you can use any event index you
wish -- just be sure the event is not disabled. Also note that no
sound will be generated unless BocaSoft System Sounds is running at
the time of the reminder, etc.
For further information on BocaSoft System Sounds, contact your
favorite OS/2 software product reseller or call BocaSoft directly at
(407) 392-7743.
