SCBATRAK HISTORY
====================
REGISTERED USERS NOTE: To upgrade your current copy of the program, you only
need to copy the new SCBATRAK.EXE file into your SCBATRAK directory.
*** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF DOS 6.0 WITH THE EMM386 MEMORY MANAGER ***
It is possible to configure the EMM386 memory manager so it causes
SCBATRAK to crash! MS allowed conflicting parameters to be specified
on the command line that results in either no expanded memory
being available (while reporting to SCBATRAK that it is available) or
makes EMS available without a "page frame." If you are experiencing
lock ups at program startup or shortly thereafter, you have two options:
1. add the command NOVCPI to the EMM386 command line and reboot or ;
2. start SCBATRAK with the command SCBATRAK //E:0
The //E:0 switch tells SCBATRAK to ignore any expanded memory. This may
cause the program to run a bit slower. The manufacturer of the language
product that SCBATRAK is written in is supposed to have a fix available
soon. I expect version 2.1 to have the fix (whenever and whatever that
is/will be.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.01 Feb. 22, 1993
------------ -------------
1. Changed the automatic data file conversion function (applicable only
to registered users who were using my previous program SCBABOTL) to
insure proper conversion in certain network configurations. Users of
SCBATRAK v2.00 will get the "data files need conversion" message the
first time they run this version.
2. Added a new key combination option, Alt+O, which allows registered
users to print out an order form for someone else to use. This key
combination only works from the main menu.
3. Eliminated the references to the old NFPA 1500 "three month rule",
which required air cylinders to be refilled at least once every three
months, since this requirement has been removed. The reports still
remain in case anyone is using them.
4. Corrected the problem where the second and subsequent pages of a few
of the multi-page reports only had one item printed on them. (v2.01a)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.0 Feb. 22, 1993
----------- -------------
SCBATRAK (tm) is a complete rewrite of my previous program, SCBABOTL,
which tracked air bottles and PASS units. A completely new user interface
has been added, as well as new modules for tracking back packs and masks.
Error handling and speed have been greatly improved. Since the program
now handles much more than just the air bottles, I changed the name also.
If you are now using my SCBABOTL program, your current data files can be
used by SCBATRAK, but need conversion to the new format. If you are a
registered user of SCBABOTL, your data files will be converted the first
time you run this program (if you give the program your approval).
Conversion of data files is NOT available to unregistered users of
SCBABOTL. In either case, I suggest you read the manual completely
as there have been significant changes and additions since the release
of SCBABOTL version 1.42.
Registered users of SCBABOTL are automatically registered users of
SCBATRAK. You can use the same instructions I gave you with your
SCBABOTL registration to turn off the SCBATRAK commercial.
