PFLs are released by Alaska Software on an irregular basis, depending on the current demand of single or multiple customers or a particular 3rd party vendor. PFLs do contain special corrections or bug fixes. PFLs are dedicated to a specific or a group of specific issues. All changes provided with a PFL will be included in the next release of its corresponding base-product. Please note, a PFL updates only single components of a product. ________________ 2.0 Installation Before you install a PFL we strongly recommend to make backup copies of all components going to be replaced by the PFL. Otherwise you would not be able to restore the pre-PFL state at a later point in time. You should install the PFL only when you want to resolve one of the problems listed under #4.0. If you install the PFL you must replace all components included in the PFL. For installation, proceed as follows: A.) Make sure that no Xbase++ application is running and no component of the development package is active. B.) Make backup copies of all files listed under #3.0 C.) If the PFL is shipped as a zipped archive, unpack the ZIP archive in the installation root directory. Depending on the UNZIP utility it might be necessary to unpack the archive with a parameter to extract the files into the directories. Please refer to the documentaion of the UNZIP utility used. I.e. using the UNZIP utility which ships with the Developer Subscription CD (:\UNZIP) there is no additional parameter required and the call looks like UNZIP PFLxxxxxx.ZIP within the root directory of the Xbase++ and/or XbTools III installation. D.) If the PFL comes as a self-extracting EXE file, copy the file into the installaton root directory of the corresponding base product (e.g. D:\ALASKA\XPP32\ and/or D:\ALASKA\XBTW32\) and execute it. ____________ 3.0 Contents This PFL replaces the following components of your Xbase++ installation: List of Files: XPPRT1.DLL (Default directory is: \XPP32\LIB and \XPPW32\RUNTIME) Xbase++ Runtime Library 1.82.294 XPPUI1.DLL (Default directory is: \XPP32\LIB and \XPPW32\RUNTIME) Xbase++ Runtime Library 1.83.294 XPPUI3.DLL (Default directory is: \XPP32\LIB and \XPPW32\RUNTIME) Xbase++ Runtime Library 1.83.294 XBTBASE1.DLL (Default directory is: \XBTW32\LIB) XbToolsIII Runtime Library 1.83.294 ________________ 4.0 Related PDRs XPPRT1.DLL PDRID: 5256 SYMPTOM: MemoEdit does not WordWrap correctly PDRID: 5242 SYMPTOM: MemoEdit hangs, inserting a space + character at EOL XPPUI1.DLL PDRID: 5284 SYMPTOM: oXbpMultiCellGroup:SetCell() handles date value incorrect XPPUI3.DLL PDRID: 5291 SYMPTOM: XbpOCX does not support WRITEONLY properties XBTBASE1.DLL PDRID: 209-225 SYMPTOM: Token behaves different to CA Tools PDRID: 209-226 SYMPTOM: Wrong return value of TokenSep() PDRID: 209-227 SYMPTOM: AtToken() returns wrong values PDRID: 209-229 SYMPTOM: WOM() returns wrong values PDRID: 209-230 SYMPTOM: WoM() returns wrong values PDRID: 209-231 SYMPTOM: NumToken() returns wrong values if one uses 3th parameter _______________________ 5.0 Technical Support 5.1 How to contact Alaska You can use either of the following possibilities: E-Mail address for customers in Europe, Middle East, Africa: support@alaska-software.com E-Mail address for customers in America, Asia, Pacific, Australia: support@alaska-software.com FAX: (+49) 6196 / 779999-51 Phone: (+49) 6196 / 779999-23 Mail: Alaska Software Inc., Germany Hauptstrasse 223 65760 Eschborn Germany 5.2 News groups The Alaska Software news server address is: news.alaska-software.com A variety of Xbase++ related news groups are hosted by Alaska Software on this server and you are invited to visit our news groups regularly.
