- 1- The PERIODS value represents biweekly payment (every other week).
- You need to enter in the number of PAYMENTS if this is selected.
-
- 2- The data in the output window may be scrolled forward and
- backward by holding down the left mouse button on that window.
- Anywhere above the line in the middle scrolls up, below it scrolls
- down. The farther above or below the line you click the faster
- the text scrolls. When you get to the top or bottom the screen
- will flash.
-
- 3- The scrolling text in the output window grabs memory on-the-fly.
- If you list something huge (like 3000 weeks) you may find that you
- can't scroll. This is because you don't have enough memory.
- The Workbench title bar will display:
- "ERROR: Freeing Memory - Please Wait"
- While the program is freeing memory it has already grabbed. In the
- test that I ran this takes about 40 seconds for 3000 weeks. When
- the data continues to display in the window the following message will
- be displayed in the title bar:
- "ERROR: Out Of Memory - Scroll Off"
- Since there wasn't enough memory and the program dumped what it
- did have there's nothing left to scroll. Everything resets when
- you click the OUTPUT gadget again.
-
- 4- Since the program frees memory between each time you click OUTPUT
- there may be a slight delay before the new data appears. This depends
- on how many lines were displayed previously.
-
- 5- This is my first attempt at intuition windows. I can only
- get better.
-
- Things to work on:
-
- 1 - The scrolling speed does not always match the distance from the
- line like I want it to.
-
