-
- This file provides general troubleshooting information and
- technical information about editing the POWERUP.INI file for
- expert computer users. For general information about using the
- program, consult the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar User's
- Guide or supplements (if any).
-
- You can read this file on screen or print it by choosing
- Print from the File menu.
-
- GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
- =======================
- Printing Problems:
-
- If you are experiencing printing problems they may be related
- to one of the following issues:
-
- -3rd party printer drivers (ie. those that came with your
- printer) may cause problems. If you are experiencing
- difficulties, install the corresponding printer driver
- from your Microsoft Windows disk set.
- -The generic HPIII printer driver may not print calendar text
- correctly on some printers. Consult your printer manual for
- emulations, and install the recommended printer driver.
- -Laser printers with less than 1 megabyte of RAM memory may
- experience problems printing multiple month calendars.
- -If calendar output looks poor, try decreasing the number of DPIs
- (dots per inch). Refer to your printer manual and to Sports
- Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar documentation.
-
- General Problems:
-
- If the coloring of the pictures of swimsuit models appears poor, make sure
- that you have a SVGA monitor, video card, and video driver installed that
- handle 256 colors. Refer to your Windows manual or video card
- documentation. Also, be sure that the picture you have chosen corresponds
- to your screen resolution. For example, KATHY01A.BMP should be used if
- you have a 640x480 display. KATHY01B.BMP should be used if you have a
- 800x600 display. See your Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar
- documentation.
-
- If you begin to experience sudden changes in the performance of the
- program such as:
- -missing information in menus or dialog boxes
- -missing events
- -intermittent printing problems
- exit the program, try deleting the file $CCW_D02.CC$ found in C:\WINDOWS\,
- then restart Windows.
-
- If you experience trouble changing fonts via the Font selection of the
- Format pull down menu, try double clicking on the text you wish to modify
- to bring up the Layout options. You can change the fonts from this dialog
- box.
-
- If errors occur when editing an event list that is sorted by date,
- sort the event list by name and try making the same changes.
-
- If you recieve error #90 "Unable to paste event." Try keeping the
- event list open when you execute the Paste command.
-
- If calendars appear distorted when viewing a small calendar, try decreasing
- the Zoom percentage.
-
- If portions of the calendar seem blacked out, try exiting and restarting
- Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar.
-
- POWERUP.INI
- ===========
- There are several options that you can set or add to your
- POWERUP.INI file to optimize the performance of Sports Illustrated
- Swimsuit Calendar. This is recommended for advanced Windows users only.
-
- The POWERUP.INI file is located in your Windows directory. Make
- a backup copy of the file before you start editing it. Use a text
- editor like Notepad to edit the file. (Be sure to save your changes.)
- You must exit Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar and restart it for the
- changes to take effect.
-
- NOTE: The POWERUP.INI file is also used by other SoftKey products,
- such as Express Publisher and PowerAlbum. You should leave
- any entries for those programs alone, or you may affect their
- performance.
-
- The default values and descriptions are listed below. The
- characters in brackets (e.g. [Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar])
- define the section of the POWERUP.INI file where the entries are located.
-
-
- [Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar]
- BackgroundMax=1900
- This sets the maximum size, in dots, for background
- pictures. If you experience problems when printing large
- background pictures, you may want to set this option to a lower
- number. Since the value is in dots, you may get a larger
- background picture on the screen than you do when printing.
- (Min=100, Max=2400)
-
-
- BigPictureBorderMargin=5
- This sets the distance, in 1/100 of an inch, between the edge of
- a big picture and its border on all four sides. (Min=0, Max=100)
-
-
- BigPictureDescMargin=2
- This sets the distance, in 1/100 of an inch, between a
- big picture (or its border, if selected) and a big picture
- title. (Min=0, Max=100)
-
-
- ClipboardFormats=2
- This tells Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar which graphic
- file format to use when you choose Edit | Copy Calendar to place
- a calendar on the Clipboard. Some applications accept pictures pasted
- from the Clipboard better if they are bitmaps, others prefer
- metafiles. Enter 1 for Bitmap, 2 for Metafile, or 3 for both.
-
- If you are using a high resolution, 256-color video driver, you
- may experience problems with the bitmap format. In that
- case, you must use setting 2.
-
-
- ColumnWidthTestString=NNNNNN
- Enter a number of characters to specify how much space must
- exist to the side of small left- or right-justified event
- pictures in order to place the event text next to the
- picture. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar uses the width
- of the group of characters in the event's font and type size
- to calculate the space. If you decrease the number of characters,
- more event names will appear to the side of small graphics, but they are
- likely to be heavily hyphenated. (Min=2 characters, Max=10 characters)
-
-
- EventMarginX=1
- EventMarginY=1
- These control the line space between events and the margins
- between events and the date box boundaries. The numbers are
- in 1/100 of an inch. If you decrease the number, events will
- appear closer together and closer to the date box boundary.
- (Min=1, Max=20)
-
-
- FooterMargin=5
- This sets the distance, in 1/100 of an inch, between the
- bottom of the calendar and the footer. (Min=0, Max=100)
-
-
- HeaderMargin=5
- This sets the distance, in 1/100 of an inch, between the
- bottom of the largest header element (either title, subtitle,
- title picture, or small calendar) and the top of the calendar.
- (Min=0, Max=100)
-
-
- Hebrew=Yes
- Set this to No to turn off the display of the Hebrew &fields in
- the &field dialog, and the Repeat Every Hebrew anniversary rules
- on the Repeat dialog. This does not affect the translation or use
- of Hebrew &fields and repeat rules that already exist in event
- lists or workspaces.
-
-
- HyphenZone=30
- This is the size, in 1/100 of an inch, that the program leaves
- at the end of a line without trying to hyphenate words to fit
- in the space. If you decrease this number, Calendar Creator
- Plus will hyphenate more words. (Min=10, Max=100)
-
-
- ImportExportDelimiter=,
- This sets the delimiter used when importing or saving to comma
- delimited files (CSV). You can set this to another character
- (like a hyphen [-] or a period), if desired.
-
-
- MidPointMargin=15
- Used only for layouts with Big Picture on Top.
- Specify in 1/100 of an inch how much margin to leave in the
- middle of the page, below the big picture and above the
- calendar. This affects how far down the calendar will appear
- on the bottom half of the page, and how far up the big picture
- and its title (if any) will appear on the top half of the page.
- (Min=0, Max=100)
-
-
- MinColumnWidth=100
- This sets the minimum width, in 1/100 of an inch, of event columns
- specified in the Layout Options/Event Display dialog. When using
- either automatic mode or a user-specified number of columns, the
- program will not make any columns smaller than this width.
-
- NOTE: This may result in the number of actual columns displayed
- being different from the number specified. (Min=0, Max=999)
-
-
- MinDiskSpace=512
- This sets the minimum disk space, in kilobytes, needed in your
- Temp drive before Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar will start.
- (Min=0, Max=64000)
-
- MinFreeSpace=1024
- This sets the minimum free memory, in kilobytes, needed before
- Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar will start. (Min=0, Max=64000)
-
-
- MinNoteHeight=14
- This sets the minimum distance, in 1/100 of an inch, between
- lines in the ToDo areas of the two-page month, week schedule, and
- day layouts. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar adjusts the
- distance based on form size, but the distance will get no smaller
- than this value. (Min=0, Max=99)
-
-
- MinResourceSpace=5
- This sets the minimum amount, expressed as a percentage, of
- system resources that must be available before Sports Illustrated
- Swimsuit Calendar will start. (Min=0, Max=99)
-
-
- MinWordLength=7
- This is the minimum word length required under normal
- circumstances to have Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar
- hyphenate a word that does not fit on a line. If you decrease
- the number, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar will hyphenate
- shorter words. (Min=3, Max=10)
-
-
- NoteLines=40
- This option determines the number of dashed lines to print
- in the To Do areas of the 2-page month, work schedule, and
- day layouts. The total available area is divided by this
- number to yield the number of dashed lines. The distance
- between lines can be no smaller than the MinNoteHeight.
-
-
- PictureBorder=4
- This sets the distance, in 1/100 of an inch, between event
- pictures and the cell borders or adjacent event text.
- (Min=0, Max=30)
-
-
- PrintFontsInBlack=Yes
- For black and white (non-color) printers only.
- This option controls how colored fonts print on black and white
- printers when the Print In Black And White checkbox in the
- Print dialog box is turned OFF (blank).
-
- If this option is set to Yes, all nonwhite fonts will print
- in black. If the option is set to No, then nonwhite fonts
- will be dithered by the printer driver which may result in their
- appearing very light or disappearing.
-
-
- PrintPreview=0
- This controls the display of text in the small print preview
- calendars that appear in the Printing dialog box. The default
- setting of 0 turns off the display of text, showing only
- pictures and lines. A setting of 1 displays the text along with
- the pictures and lines. If you are using video drivers that were
- not supplied with Windows, you should leave this setting at 0 to
- avoid possible problems. Otherwise, you can use a setting of 1
- to display the text.
-
-
- SecondLineIndentPercent=8
- This tells the program to indent the second and subsequent lines
- of event names by the specified percentage of the column width.
- Decrease the number to leave a smaller indent. (Min=0, Max=50)
-
-
- SecondLineIndentMax=15
- This sets the maximum distance, in 1/100 of an inch, that the
- program can indent second and subsequent lines of event names.
- The indent is controlled by the SecondLineIndentPercent discussed
- above. (Min=0, Max=50)
-
-
- [Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar Print Options]
- FudgeX=0
- FudgeY=0
- These adjust the printed output on each page to allow for minor
- printer adjustments and form alignment. You can enter a positive
- or negative integer to move the output in the X and/or Y
- direction in 1/100 of an inch. FudgeX moves the output left and
- right across the page; FudgeY moves the output up and down the
- page. Note that the paper width is defined on the Page Setup
- dialog box in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar. (Min=-100, Max=100)
-
-
- [SHOWPICT]
- KodakPCDSizes=192,128,384,256,20000,20000,1536,1024,3072,2048
- You normally should never have to change this setting.
- Kodak CD's contain each image in five different resolutions.
- Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar uses this INI setting to
- determine which resolution to use. This depends on the picture
- size needed on the calendar, and the resolution of your screen or
- printer.
-
- The numbers are pairs of x and y sizes (in pixels) that define
- the boundaries of each resolution. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar
- uses the pair that is one size larger than the image requires. For
- example, if an image were 180 pixels across by 100 pixels down,
- the program would use resolution pair number 1 (192, 128).
-
-
- BigTif=No
- This option limits the size of the TIFF files that can be
- displayed or printed in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar. If
- the setting is No, you cannot read in TIFF files larger than 1 Mb.
- Changing the setting to Yes allows you to read in larger TIFF files,
- but it may cause problems with some video drivers. If you want to use
- larger TIFFs and experience problems, try rerunning Windows Setup
- and choosing a lower resolution setting for Display.
-
-
- [Aliases]
- Roman=TimesNewRomanPS
- Modern=Arial MT
- These aliases are used to assign the fonts when you choose
- Workspace/New or open one of the event lists that ships with
- Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar. The aliases are only
- used when the program cannot find an alias for the Roman or
- Modern fonts in WIN.INI (when using TrueType) or ATM.INI (when using ATM).
