Welcome to Floppyshop's FALCON Public Domain & Shareware Catalogue as
presented by the Floppyshop Document Displayer.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1) If you find that your Falcon freezes when you exit FLOPSHOP.PRG it's
because you have MACCEL3.PRG in your Auto folder. Although this program
speeds up your mouse, it conflicts with several other programs (our
catalogue included) and will frequently cause your computer to lock up if it
doesn't like a program! The remedy is of course to delete MACCEL3.PRG and
its associated CPX configuration utility.
2) The catalogue does not run in 40 column modes. This is not a major
problem since you can easily switch to an 80 column mode.
3) The catalogue headings are all displayed using 'funny' characters! Set
the font to 'IBM' and everything will look correct. Now re-save your
preferences to ensure that this font is always used. However there is a
little bug in the preferences, so please check out 4 below, first.
4) The catalogue may say that it requires a minimum resolution of 640x200
when you already in such a mode. Delete the file FLOPSHOP.INF and try again.
The catalogue displayer will now load but you will have to be aware of a few
things before you save your settings again.
If you save your preferences from within the displayer whilst in an
interlace ON mode (RGB) or double line OFF mode (VGA), it will not recognise
interlace OFF mode (RGB) or double line ON mode (VGA) as being legal modes
if you have changed the text size to large. This is a bug within the
program. You have two choices, save your setup with small text selected if
you want to use the displayer in all 80 column modes. However, if you only
ever use interlace ON (RGB) or double line OFF (VGA) modes, you can save
your preferences with the large text selected. The only restriction is that
it won't work if interlace is ever switched OFF (RGB) or double line
switched ON (VGA).
Thank you for purchasing your software from Floppyshop.
