Compatibility Statement
Campbell Services Inc.'s OnTime v2.22 and OnTime for Windows v1.25 (both
network versions) are compatible with LANtastic NOS version 4.xx and 5.xx.
Product Overview
OnTime lets you schedule appointments and maintain the calendar for a
workgroup. The main screen of OnTime displays a day planner and a narrow box
that shows at a glance occupied blocks of time during the day. Most of the
program's functions can be accessed through a handful of push-button keys at
the bottom of the screen, which includes adding and deleting appointments,
adding and attaching notes, rescheduling appointments, searching for
keywords, printing a calendar and replacing the day planner with either a
week-at-a-glance or a month-at-a-glance view. In addition to appointments,
it also allows you to maintain to-do lists. To-do items can be prioritized
and set to automatically roll over until marked completed.
The network version supports group scheduling (on a group calendar),
including notification to the individual that an appointment has been added
to his or her calendar. Each user can maintain the access rights of other
users to his/her private calendar, and s/he can belong to different groups to
gain access to the group calendars. OnTime produces tri-fold/duplex reports
that combines different formats and views of the schedule on one page.
Product Installation Notes
OnTime comes with a slim manual which covers installation on LANs in general,
but a document explaining how to set up OnTime on a LANtastic network is
available on request from Campbell Services' Tech. Support. Installation is
very automated, and the Windows version offers to install OnTime in your list
of Windows programs loaded at startup and modify your win.ini.
OnTime must be installed onto a drive that can be accessed by all users and
must have the same drive designator for all users, including the server.
However, a server with files required to initialize or shutdown Windows
should not remap any of its local drives to network drives, or else Windows
will lock up on the logo screen during initialization. Instead the DOS SUBST
command should be used, e.g. SUBST d: c:\ontime.
Executable files in the \ONTIME directory must be set to read-only by the DOS
ATTRIB command. After installation, you will need to add users to the system
through the SETUPNET(for DOS) or WSETUPN(for Windows) utility. Each user's
access can be password'ed. DOS SHARE is required on the server but not the
workstations.
Memory requirement for OnTime's TSR, OTLOAD, is 15k when in background, 380k
when in foreground. It cannot be loaded high with the DOS loadhigh command,
or with any of the popular memory managers.
Product Execution Notes
To invoke OnTime, type ONTIME or OTLOAD for DOS, or click on the icon set up
to run OTWIN.exe for Windows. It will then prompt you for the user name.
The loader will swap itself to EMS memory if available. It was noticed that
OnTime for Windows' alarm tunes may not play to completion when running in
Windows. This is due to a minor problem with the LANtastic redirector. A
workaround is also available which needs to turn off network bleeping
altogether, but in most cases users will not need to worry about this
cosmetic problem and the impact to the usage of the product is minimal.
There is a known problem for OnTime for Windows running on a LANtastic
network (internal tracking number T01870). When running OnTime for Windows
on a workstation and the server unexpectedly goes down (due to power outage,
rebooting, etc.), the workstation returns Windows' "The network has become
unstable" screen. It may also be locked up as a result. Campbell Services
and Artisoft are still investigating the problem.
