Organizer 2.0 FAQ (12/14/94)



This FAQ (frequently asked question) covers issues regarding
Organizer 2.0. This document is an unofficial listing of what seems to
be the hot issues reported by Organizer 2.0 customers so far.

This FAQ is a draft work in progress and will be updated as more info becomes
available.

Its intent is to keep our customers as informed as possible to questions
regarding Organizer 2.0


1. Organizer 2.0 seems to have trouble with some SVGA and XGA
drivers. 



This was the case for any customer who received the product by
downloading it via Ziffnet, and a limited amount of customers
who purchased the full product at a retail store.

Lotus has updated the Ziffnet download to correct this issue for
future downloads and also will be posting an update that Ziffnet
customers can download and apply to their already existing
version.


For customers who have purchased the product at a retail store
and are experiencing these problems,customers should obtain the Organizer
2.0 update. This update will be available on CompuServe as well
as the Lotus BBS. 

TO OBTAIN THE UPDATE FROM COMPUSERVE:

converted: (from page 1-11 of the Exploring Organizer guide)

The layout that gives weekly prints is the WEEKLY TIMELINE. This
gives a visual of what time is booked vs. available for the week.
