Termite V1.00 (c) 1994 Oregon Research Release Date 11/16/94 Thank you for purchasing Termite. Please take the time to read the information in this file. It contains important information inadvertantly omitted from or added after the manual was printed. To get the most out of Termite, it is very important you read the entire manual. Remember to send in your registration card. Registration is required to receive technical support and is also very important so that we may notify you of enhancements to Termite. *********************************************************************** asl Library version ------------------- If Termite says you need asl.library V38, it can be found on the Termite master disk in the "libs" directory. Just copy or drag the file from there to your Workbench "libs" directory. New Button Bar Functions ------------------------ Two new functions have been added to the Button Bar. The first one: Upload From List will begin a multiple file transfer of files currently in the upload list. The second one: Dial will dial a Phone Book entry specified in the option field. The place the name of the system you want to dial in the option field exactly as it appears in the phonebook. When selected the system will be called through the dialer just as if you have dialed it through the phonebook. amigaguide.library ------------------ The amigaguide.library is also available in the "libs" directrory of the master disk, should you need it. It is archived in LHA format. If you do not have access to a LHA dearchiver, they are widely available for downloading. If you cannot locate one, please notify us and we will be happy to send you an uncompressed version. Terminal Settings Change ------------------------ The terminal settings requester has changed slightly from what appaers in the manual. Now, to select an XEM library, click on the "Emulation" button so that it changes from "ANSI" to "External", and a file requester will appear at that time. The box underneath that button will tell you which terminal emulation you have currently selected. Rexx Note --------- sys:rexxc/rx is no longer required to run ARexx scripts from within Termite. Zmodem Frame Size ----------------- If you get a lot of "Resending from...." errors when doing a ZMODEM upload, go to Transfer Settings, click on "XPR Settings" and edit the "Frame Size" value. Try setting it to "8192" and if you still get "resending" errors, lower it until they stop. However, if you get no errors with 8192, you can increase it to boost performance. Phonebook shortcuts ------------------- In the phonebook or phonebook editor, you can hit the tab key, and the currently highlighted system or line will be updated to reflect all of your current settings. Serial Settings Changes ----------------------- The serial settings "Shared", "Quiet", and "High Speed Device" were apparently omitted from the documentation, and are now included in termite.guide. "Shared" makes Termite share the serial device with other programs that ask to use it. "Quiet" causes Termite to not open the serial device at all. "High Speed Device" bypasses error checking in the serial device for the sake of speed. Be sure to read the full explanations and cautionary notes in the help file before using any of these options. Auto Load macros ---------------- Termite will attempt to load a macro file called "termite.macros" upon program startup. If it is present, it will be loaded as the default macro set. This is not mentioned in the manual. Script Recording change ----------------------- There are now two menu options for recording scripts, where only one is mentioned in the manual. "Record Logon Script..." is identical to "Record..." in the manual. "Record Script...", on the other hand, should be used if you are recording a script that you intend to run at any time other than at logon. RIP XEM available on request ---------------------------- RIP graphical emulation is available in the form of an XEM library. If you would like a copy of this public domain library, write or call us and we will send it to you. ********************************************* In North America contact: Oregon Research Attn: Steven Frank 16200 SW Pacific Hwy, Suite 162 Tigard, OR 97224 Phone: 503-620-4919 Fax: 503-624-2940 Email: orres@teleport.com (Internet) ORA (GEnie) 71333,2655 (CompuServe) In Europe contact: HiSoft The Old School Greenfield Bedford MK45 5DE U.K. Phone: +44 (0)525 718181 Fax: +44 (0)525 713716 Email: hisoft@cix.compulink.co.uk ******************************************** Are you in possession of stolen merchandise? -------------------------------------------- Termite is copyrighted commercial software.
