WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF PROBLEMS
------------------------------
1) FIRST OF ALL: RELAX!
2) IF YOU CAN'T INSTALL OR START ZOC
* Please try installation into a fresh directory on your boot drive.
Do not convert files from an existing version.
* Try to start ZOC from the command line instead of using the WPS icon,
eg. CD ZOC ┘
ZOC ┘
* If you want to start ZOC from another working directory, you must
add your ZOC directory to the LIBPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS!
* It is possible to unpack the INSTALL.FIL file with a standard UNZIP
program. However, this is only an emergency method.
3) IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE USING ZOC
* Please check the common problems section in the help menu
* Contact your dealer or Markus Schmidt (see README.DOC for address).
4) KNOWN PROBLEMS
* Underlined characters appear in odd places under OS/2 Warp 3 when
using Cirrus CL5426 video drivers.
Solutions:
* Start ZOC with the /CIRRUS option (this is just a workaround,
not a total fix)
* Use the new CL54xx drivers (CIRRUS.ZIP) from CompuServe's
OS2SUPPORT forum (lib 23), ZOC support bbs or ftp.teamos2.org
* Lost characters with ET4000W32 video boards and Warp
The Warp ET4000W32 drivers seem to cause lost characters in
the serial device.
Solutions:
* Use the plain ET4000 drivers that come with Warp
* Use an earlier version (eg. 1.03) of the ET4000W32 drivers
* Set Options->Window->Page 2->Scroll-Jump to None
* We heard that there are newer drivers available, which fixed
the problem at least for some users.
* Program aborts with Trident 9440A video boards
Cause unknown (so far).
Please try to unpack INSTALL.FIL manually (unzip INSTALL.FIL).
There seems to be an updated driver floating around under the name
TA1303.ZIP (eg. on CompuServe OS2HW forum).
* Several problems were reported with ATI video drivers, especially
with 16.7 mio colors. Please try to use the 65536 colors mode.
* Sometimes strange things happen with Warp's COM.SYS.
There is a replacement COM.SYS driver from IBM. It is available
on CompuServe's OS2SUPPORT forum (lib 23, WFP_03.ZIP), on
ftp01.ny.us.ibm.net (/pub/warpcom/WRPCOM.ZIP) and on the ZOC
Support BBS.
As far as we can tell, all these problems are due to OS/2 and not
due to ZOC.
