Personal Ticker Tape Release Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
01/05/92 PTT 1.14
Before running PTT 1.14 for the first time, do the following
1) Delete PTTSYM.* (if it exists)
2) Go to PTT/SETUP/UPDATE OPTIONS and specify
a) "Maximum Number of Ticker Symbols" appropriately for
your system
b) Rebuild Symbol Index = Y
Hit F1 on each new field if you have questions. Also, if you are upgrading
from a prior release, read the notes below if applicable.
12/29/92 PTT 1.12
This version of PTT implements a new search technique for maintaining
the index and summary files. The new file names for these summaries are
PTTSYM.IX and PTTSYM.DB. The first time you run PTT, it will have to
rebuild these tables. You can remove your old PTTSYM1.IX and PTTSYM1.DB
files, since they will no longer be used.
You will need to go to the MODEM SETUP panel to enter any MODEM
INITIALIZATION commands that were in your Compuserve or GEnie Network
Setup screens. This version of PTT has NO built in MODEM INITIALIZATION
commands, so if you need any for your modem, you will need to put them
into the MODEM SETUP panel. Please use the F1 Help Key to get item
specific help whenever you need it.
There is a new file created by PTT, "PTT.LOG", which contains the
status, error messages, and optional stock split notifications encountered
when running PTT update or report.
11/26/92
If you have a non-downloading version of PTT prior to PTT 1.09, you
will need to obtain a new registration code for PTT 1.09 or later.
This code will allow you to obtain the & symbols from PRODIGY. You can
obtain the new registration code from the FlexSoft BBS for a $10 charge
if paying by credit card.
Alternatively, you can mail $10 to FlexSoft for the new code.
You can tell which version of the registration code you have by looking
at the registration line on the PTT main screen.
The explanation of the levels shown on the Main Screen are:
Level 0
means you are using PTT with a PML registration code, or you
ordered PTT prior to version 1.09. If you do not want to use the PRODIGY
& symbols, you can continue to use this code for PTT. Otherwise, you will
need to obtain a Level 1 registration code.
Level 1
is the new registration code for PTT without the DownLoad
feature.
Level 2
is the full Download registration code with all features
enabled.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are a PML user, and this is your first time using PTT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are registered for Professional Maintenance Loader (PML), follow
the installation procedure for PTT, then copy your PML.CNF file to the
\PTT subdirectory, renaming it PTT.CNF. This will preserve your current
REGISTRATION CODE and allow you to use PTT for the same functions as
PML.
After you do this, you will still need to re-enter your Metastock or
MegaTech directory names.
