- This file is a potpourri of hints, tips, work-arounds, conflicts, etc., in no
- particular order. I'll add more as they're reported.
-
- ANSI.MOD is a replacement for ANSI.SYS, NANSI.SYS, ANSI.COM, FANSI, etc. Don't
- load these other programs with POWERKIT II (remove the line, DEVICE=ANSI.SYS,
- or whatever, from your CONFIG.SYS file).
-
- Inside 1-2-3, use run-on strategy "B" with the # of "lies" set to 4, to cure
- the worst case of the run-ons in all of Christendom.
-
- KYBD.BUF's keystroke buffer won't work with XyWrite. Disable KYBD.BUF'S buffer
- by editing KYBD.BUF's line in CONFIG.SYS to read: DEVICE=KYBD.BUF /B15
-
- Load POWERKIT II after NEWKEY. KYBD.BUF and NEWKEY's extended keystroke buffer
- don't get along, so disable one or the other buffer.
-
- Load DOS's "APPEND /X " command AFTER loading POWERKIT II modules.
-
- Set Qmodem v4.0's /NOINT16 switch.
-
- Inside PC-Write v3.02, turn both of PKII.MOD's run-on strategies OFF.
-
- POWERKIT II won't work inside DEC's WPS (nor will any other non-DEC TSR, as
- you WPS users well know. WPS is one of the few programs where HOOK doesn't
- even help). There IS a fix for this (a dedicated version of HOOK). If there
- is enough interest shown, I'll make it available.
-
- POWERKIT II has trouble with some (but not all) programs compiled using the
- QuickBASIC 3.0 or 2.0 compiler. The problem probably is related to a certain
- BASIC command, and when I find that command, I'll find a fix.
-
- POWERKIT II will crash some Compaq computers. I don't know why, but my hunch
- is -- the problem is caused by the non-standard way some Compaq computers
- handle video. I would welcome bug reports, or any other info on this subject.
