WinNAV - Windows Navigator Update 3.00.61 (June 8, 1991)
=====================================================
******************************************************
If you already have NAV060.EXE, you need the NAV!60.EXE update,
otherwise you only need the archive NAV061.EXE.
******************************************************
A Problem
---------
As luck would have it, within two days of the release of WinNAV 3.00.60,
a rather embarrassing bug was reported.
It appears that when an error occurred the internal error message box
would be called, but, instead of displaying an error message, it created
a bigger error which in turn crashed WinNAV on some systems. However, if
you were one of those gifted individuals who never mis-typed a directory
or file name, you could have gone for ever and never experienced this
particular bug.
There also was a problem in the print selected file function (File/Print
popup menu) which is fixed by this update.
A Solution
----------
WinNAV 3.00.61 was not expected to be released until several significant
enhancements were added, which would have been several months down the
road; however, the needed fix needed to get out before then. Thus, the
release 3.00.61 is now the bug fix, and the enhancements will appear in
release 3.00.62 instead.
The following distribution files constitute the full WinNAV 3.00.61 bug
fix release. The following distribution (self-extracting archive) files,
when combined:
NAV060.EXE The original 3.00.60 distribution files
NAV!60.EXE The bug fix release of (WINNAV.EXE); this
contains a replacement for the WINNAV.EXE
file contained in the NAV060.EXE archive
Or, the self extracting archive file NAV061.EXE, which contains all
files from the two aforementioned distribution archives.
We elected to distribute the fix and update in this fashion, so that
those who previously acquired the NAV060.EXE archive would not again have
to download all the duplicate file from services such as CompuServe.
Therefore, if you already have NAV060.EXE, you need NAV!60.EXE, otherwise
you only need NAV061.EXE.
Additional Features
-------------------
WinNAV 3.00.61 does have at least a few minor enhancements. If the user
wishes to invoke a different Editor (invoked from the Action/Editor popup
menu) or a different Print utility (invoked by the File/Print popup menu)
the following keywords and application strings may be added to the
WINNAV.INI file [WinNAV] section:
Editor=C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE
Print=C:\WINDOWS\WINQPRT.EXE
The application drive, path and names can be changed as needed by the user,
thus
Editor=WRITE.EXE
will load Microsoft Windows Write as the Action Editor.
Conclusion
----------
We appologize to those users who have downloaded the problem files, and
hope our prompt response in distributing the bug fix will show our
strong desire to maintain and support what we consider to be one of the
superior Windows application interfaces.
