- LATE-BREAKING NEWS:
-
- None at this time.
-
-
- CHANGES TO THE MANUAL:
-
- Chapter 4.1
- /X Ignore XMS memory. Similar to the /E option, but it tells PCFDial to
- specifically ignore XMS memory if present.
-
- /X1 Single swap file. PCFDial temporarily allocates a second memory swap
- file when it swaps out to disk, or it permanently allocates 360k of
- XMS memory when it swaps to XMS. (It always allocates the minimum
- memory if it swaps to EMS.) The /X1 option tells PCFDial to use a
- single disk-based swap file, or half as much room in XMS memory as
- it normally uses. This can prove beneficial to people running low on
- disk space or who can't spare much XMS memory. NOTE: this forces
- PCFDial to occupy about 10k of regular memory instead of just 7k. It
- also increases the time it takes for the program to swap back into
- memory when you press the hotkey.
-
- /XX Use XMS over EMS. Some people have both EMS and XMS memory. When
- given a choice, PCFDial chooses EMS. However, this switch makes the
- program choose XMS for its memory swap file. Note: PCFDial will
- still look for EMS to hold its "overlay" file unless you specify the
- /E option. You should use /E instead of /XX if you want the program
- to totally ignore EMS.
-
- /_ Assume call connected. Some people want to keep a log of calls but
- don't want to bother with the "Did the call connect?" query. This
- option overrides the connect question and assumes you got through to
- the other person.
-
- Chapter 4.3.2
- Starting with version 1.01, PCFDial recognizes XMS as well as EMS memory.
- This means you may not have to establish a RAMdisk just so the program can
- store its memory swap files in high memory.
-
- PCFDial's swapping process speeds up if it uses EMS or XMS memory or a
- RAMdisk. It also uses less regular memory and swaps faster if you avoid
- the /X1 command line option.
-
- Chapter 5.1
- Starting with version 1.02, PCFDial lets you edit phone numbers before it
- dials them. Press ALT-E rather than ENTER after selecting a phone number
- from the screen.
-
- Table 5.1
- ALT-E edit the phone number before dialing it (a new option starting
- with version 1.02)
-
-
- MANUAL ERRATA:
-
- Chapter 4.1
- If you use the /D option and specify "!" as the support drive, PCFDial
- will load all 180k of itself into regular memory. You can also enter a
- "!" in the "TSR disk default" field of a configuration file to achieve
- the same effect. NOTE: this occurs automatically in certain cases.
-
- Chapter 4.3.2
- You must have 360k free on your hard disk or RAMdisk to successfully load
- PCFDial -- but you only need 180k if use the /X1 command line option (see
- above).
