OFFICIAL BUG FIX
To all users of the Night Owl's Shareware CD Rom volume #8 (NOPV8).
TO SAVE YOURSELF TIME, PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE TEXT BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
It has come to our attention that due to a production error, there
is a minor annoyance (BUG) on our recently released NOPV8 CD Rom.
The bug shows when trying to access files from directory #59
"Windows BMP/ICO/WAV" while using the NIGHT file retrieval tools.
You will be told that the file or files cannot be found. The
problem is caused by a spelling mistake in the text listing for
that directory.
** UNDER TESTING, WE HAVE NOT FOUND THIS BUG TO AFFECT FILE RETRIEVAL
DURING OPERATION OF THIS CD IN A BULLETIN BOARD INSTALLATION. **
The cure is rather simple, for those of you that answered YES when
asked if you wanted the directories copied to your hard drive for
faster access, you need only to edit the text file "DIR59" found
on your hard drive in the NIGHT\TEXT directory. The word "Loacation"
at the beginning of the second line of the text file is
mis-spelled. The line should read "Location of files 059A" . Note
the placement of the letter (a) in the original.
***NOTE*** YOU WILL HAVE TO CLEAR THE READ ONLY ATTRIBUTE OF THIS
FILE BEFORE YOU CAN EDIT IT. ***ALSO NOTE*** THE LINE YOU ARE
EDITING IS CASE SENSITIVE AND SHOULD BE COPIED AS SHOWN IN THE
ABOVE TEXT WITHOUT THE QUOTATION MARKS.
For those of you that answered NO to this question, you will need
to erase the file NIGHT.CFG from the NIGHT directory created on
your hard drive during the original installation and reinstall the
NIGHT retrieval program. This time answer YES to the question of
copying the text files to your hard drive, then edit the file as
stated above.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused any of
our valued customers.
