SoftSolutions 4.1 Support Bulletin
October 5, 1995
RDS Document 507
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide SoftSolutions users/resellers
a comprehensive listing of software updates and alert them of important
issues which may be encountered. Depending on the usefulness of this
bulletin, content and purpose may change over time. Please provide any
feedback you may have directly to SoftSolutions Technical Support or through
the SOFTSOL forum on CompuServe.
The last portion of this bulletin lists the online services where support
and product updates are available.
SoftSolutions Patches for 4.1
1. Filename: 41RDS.EXE Contains: remote.wcm
Problem: If a user imports a document with Private Security through the
Remote Document Server using remote.wcm, the document was
being imported with Public Security.
Install: Replace remote.wcm in the SoftSolutions programs directory.
2. Filename: 41IMPD.EXE Contains: swimpdir.exe
Problem: If user runs swimpdir.exe (4.1 version from the CD), the
utility will GPF.
Install: Replace swimpdir.exe in the SoftSolutions UTIL subdirectory.
3. Filename: 41WRD6.EXE Contains: ssnorm.dot
Problem: Fixes printing selected text, when visiting print preview
screen user will no longer receive a 509 error when exiting
Word, and possibly fixes inserting graphic files in Word.
Install: Replace ssnorm.dot in Word 6.0 startup directory and the
SoftSolutions INT subdirectory.
4. Filename: 41VRDS.EXE Contains: ssvimusr.exe
Problem: Fixes a display problem which will cause one of its status
messages to appear line after line until it fills the whole
screen. The problem is only visible on the RDS main screen
which the system administrator deals with. Users are not
affected.
Install: Replace ssvimusr.exe in the SoftSolutions programs directory.
Current Issues
Bug 19190 - DOS previewer issue: Users cannot preview an open document with
the DOS previewer. This is a problem caused by the process by
which SCC opens the document. The SSVIEWER.BAT file can be
modified to copy the file to a temporary location and then
delete the document after the preview has been completed.
Windows 95 Issues:
1. Problem: SoftSolutions issues a 730 error stating that the document is
still open although it has been closed at the application
screen. With the final release of Win95, this problem doesn't
appear as much and seems to be limited to documents which have
been previewed or launched.
Solution: In order to exit SoftSolutions if a 730 error is shown, press
the <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Del> keys simultaneously and select
the SoftSolutions application from the list and click on the
End Task button.
2. Problem: A user running Windows 95 could not access a Dataset via the
SEM. The user would get error: "574: unknown host or
server[8917]".
Solution: It appears that Windows 95, on a new installation, does not
load "Netware.drv" in the system directory. Therefore, if
a user installs Windows 95 on a PC that does not have a
previous version of Windows 3.1, they will not be able to
access a Dataset via a SEM. Solution is to copy in
"Netware.drv" into the system directory.
3. Problem: During SoftSolutions Custom Installation procedure, the
Browse button works but doesn't reliably echo the directory
structure into the input field.
Solution: Verify that the path inserted by the Browse feature is
accurate before proceeding with the installation.
4. Problem: Currently, SoftSolutions does not work well with long file
names.
Solution: The only way (thus far) to get SoftSolutions to see a Long
File Name directory is to first truncate the directory name
to six characters and then append two tildes followed by the
occurrence number of the name in the current directory. E.g.
the following command line should start wordpad.exe from a
SoftSolutions application command line:
c:\progra~~1\access~~1\wordpad.exe
Additionally, application record creation templates do not
work. Adding two "^" doesn't help, it just inserts the file
name preceded by a "^".
5. Problem: The selection buttons (quick keys) do not function with the
keyboard when opening a new document from within an integrated
application.
Solution: Make selection with the mouse instead of with the quick keys.
6. Problem: Opening a document from SoftSolutions 4.1 into Word 6 does not
open the document into Word.
Solution: Once in Word, do File|Open. The document will then appear.
7. Problem: If all documents are closed inside Word6 and Word 6 is open,
File|Exit will not shut down Word.
Solution: Alt F4 will shut down Word.
