AGENDA ON THE SERIES3a - PROBLEMS WITH ALARMS
On the Series3a there is a problem, which can mean that when large agenda
files are changed or compressed, the alarms do not always ring.
THE PROBLEM
The problem occures, when a large Agenda file (more than around 25k) is in
use, and one of the following occures:
A. The file is compressed, and during the compression the 3a is turned off.
B. An entry with an alarm is entered or changed, and the 3a is turned off
immediately afterwards.
C. An entry with an alarm is entered or changed, the file is compressed,
and the 3a is turned off straight away.
In these cases it can happen, that only the next alarm rings. In some cases
no further alarms will ring.
THE SOLUTION
Quite simply don't turn off during compression, or directly following
entering or changing an entry. To be really safe, check in the 'Time'
application, that the alarm is really set.
Using the supplied program, you can actually prevent the 3a being turned
off at these critical times.
INSTALLATION
Copy SYS$AGNW.OPO into the \OPO\ directory.
Press Sie PSION-CTRL-CALC to move to the RunOpl icon.
Press TAB to start the file selector.
Now move the cursor to SYS$AGNW.OPO, and press ENTER. The program will
start.
The program requires around 2k on the disk, and 11k to run.
DE-INSTALLATION
Simply press CTRL-CALC, then PSION-ESC to stop the program.
