WELCOME TO OBJECTVISION 2.0
---------------------------------------
Copyright (c) 1991 Borland International
All Rights Reserved
This README file contains important, last-minute information about
ObjectVision 2.0.

1. INSTALLATION
---------------
When using Windows 386 Enhanced Mode, the installation program may
indicate that there is insufficient disk space to install
ObjectVision due to the Windows swap file. Although you may have
sufficient disk space when Windows is not running, Windows allocates
some of this space for its own use. To install ObjectVision in this
situation, you should run Windows in Standard Mode by typing "win /s"
at the DOS prompt.
Do not attempt to run the install program from a network drive. To
install ObjectVision from a network, first copy INSTALL.EXE and
OV2.LZ to a local drive. Start INSTALL on the local drive and then
specify the network drive as the source location for the remaining
files.
2. DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
------------------------
2.1 Errors in the "Getting Started" manual:
- On page 21, the paragraphs at the bottom of the page that
describe Print Form and Print All omitted this sentence:
"When a form contains a table object, the total number of
forms printed depends on the number of values in the link.
Print Form and Print All print the entire contents of a
table object."
- On page 22, the second sentence in the first paragraph should be
deleted. Instead, this sentence should be included:
"You can't use @PRINTLINK with a link to a table object;
those linknames do not appear in the list of links to
print."
- On page 68, Table 4.4 should be moved to page 56, where readers
are instructed to add the other fields to the sample application.
"Sales Order" should be removed from the list in Table 4.4, and
the second line in Table 4.4 should read:
"Contact Name" "Tax Exempt"
- In the paragraph below Table 4.4, the last sentence should read:
"If you've entered any values in the fields, choose
Edit|Clear All to clear them from the form."
2.2 Errors in the "Reference Guide" manual:
- On page 47, the description of a scroll bar on a table is
incomplete. It should read:
"The scroll box in the scroll bar will be in one of
three positions. It is at the top when there is no
linked data above the table. It is at the bottom
when there is no linked data below the table.
Otherwise, it is in the middle."
- On page 141, the description of @LINKVALUE should have only one
argument--"DataField." "LinkName" should be removed from the
argument list, the sentence that describes "LinkName" should be
deleted, and the Examples should have each instance of
"Customers" deleted from the argument list.
- On page 155, the description of @PRINTLINK should include the
sentence:
"You can't use @PRINTLINK with a link to a table object.
The link won't appear in the list of links to print."
- On page 228, the description of the Btrieve DEC field type should
read:
"The number is stored as a packed decimal."
- On page 229, the description of the Btrieve MONEY field type
should read:
"The number is stored as a packed decimal."
3. PRINTER DRIVERS
------------------
If you experience long print times, improved drivers may be available that
reduce print times considerably. If the most recent drivers aren't in
your copy of Windows 3.0, you can order the "Windows 3.0 Supplemental
Driver Library" software from Microsoft for a nominal charge by calling
(800) 426-9400. These drivers are also available on CompuServe. Just type
GO MSCON and scan for the keyword SDL in the Microsoft Software Library.
4. .DLL FILES
-------------
When you install ObjectVision, the .DLL files for the Paradox Engine
and Novell's Btrieve are placed in your ObjectVision directory. However,
.DLL files you get from other sources might be different versions that
are placed in different directories.
Only one .DLL gets loaded into memory. If there are multiple versions
on your disk, the first one loaded is the one that is used. This can
cause problems when an application needs a later version of the .DLL
but an earlier version is already loaded. In a situation like this, the
application won't run properly.
When ObjectVision loads the .DLL, it will look first in its own
directory, then the Windows directory, and then any directory in your
PATH statement.
Use the date stamp on the .DLL file to decide which is most recent
version. If there is an earlier version of the DLL in the Windows
directory, overwrite it. If there is a later version in the Windows
directory, just delete the version in ObjectVision's directory.
If there are copies of the .DLL in other directories, place the most
recent one in the Windows directory.
If you are using Windows 3.1, you should delete the following .DLL
files from your ObjectVision directory:
OLECLI.DLL
SHELL.DLL
5. NON-ASCII SORT ORDER
-----------------------
Before using existing Paradox or Btrieve tables with non-ASCII sort orders,
open the Control Panel's International icon and choose the language and
country settings that match the table's sort order. When you create
Paradox or Btrieve tables with ObjectVision, your current language and
country settings are automatically used.
