Announcing v4.02 of Time & Chaos Professional Highlights of What's New in 4.02 ... Selective resizing of main screen sections (appts,todo's,etc.) Usage of a new screen control provides the vehicle for resizing each section of the main screen. Your sizing and screen position can be saved for use in each startup of Time & Chaos. Logical subdivision of phone books on main screen. There is a new button on the main screen under the phone book list box that will pop up the categories selection list. By clicking the desired categories and selecting [OK] you can subdivide the present phone book based on the categories chosen. The list box background will change to blue and the list box will contain only those entries selected. Clicking again on this new button will return the phone book list box to its previous full view. Custom Report Generation. The Report Menu item on the main screen's menu bar now provides for the definition, storing and printing of custom reports. Go to the Report area and click on the Format Menu item, Click on the Custom option .... and knock yourself out. Group Scheduling of Appointments. In the TIMEBAR area of Time & Chaos you can super- impose several/many calendar sets to get a composite view of the schedules for several/many people. Once an acceptable group appointment time is chosen you will now be able to place this appointment on everyone's calendar across the network. ToDo List Performance. We have utilized some new techniques to significantly increase the performance of the ToDo. The first time you start this new version it will automatically optimize your todo list to the new format. * Ability to MOVE or COPY todo's and appointments by dragging to the month calendar * Ability to set the appointment start time & end time with keyboard cursor keys * Ability to completely disable appointment alarms * The Month View! can be changed to Week View! as a default ...........plus lots of minor little improvements and fixes! Special WinFaxPro 3.0 format added to the EXPORT Utility. One of the programs on our optional ($15.95) utitlities disc is EXPORT. This program exports Time & Chaos data to standard dBase formatted files. A new format option has been added to EXPORT so that it creates dBase files compatable with WinFaxPro 3.0. This allows T&C users to output their white/yellow pages in a format acceptable to WinFaxPro 3.0. These files can be added to WinFaxPro's list of phonebooks. Thus Time and Chaos could be the single source of your contact phone numbers. To INSTALL Version 4.02: Run the INSTALL.EXE utility included with this diskette. From the Windows Program Manager or File Manager, use the File Menu to get to the Run Command. By default, a new subdirectory will be suggested called C:\chaos40 and all of the appropriate files will be copied there. You can change this to a subdirectory of your choice. The install utility will also create a new Program Manager Group and ICONS for you. After Installation you can run the program, by just double clicking on the Time & Chaos ICON, as you would with any windows program. UPGRADING INFORMATION: A. If you are upgrading from a 4.x version of Time & Chaos it is important that you understand the following points: You should use the INSTALL utility since there are many files that must be added to your existing Time & Chaos files. Instruct the install utility to put the new files in the DOS subdirectory where your current version of Time & Chaos is installed. B. If you are upgrading from a 3.x version of Time & Chaos it is important that you understand the following points: Time & Chaos should be installed to a different subdirectory than before. As such, your datafiles will need to be COPIED to the new subdirectory. You can do this by copying your old datafiles to the new subdirectory. You must copy: Appt.isd Appt.isf Appt.ism Appt.isp (only if you have one) ToDoList.isd ToDoList.isf ToDoList.ism PhoneBk.isd PhoneBk.isf PhoneBk.ism YPhoneBk.isd YPhoneBk.isf YPhoneBk.ism OR.... A simple DOS command: COPY C:\CHAOS\*.IS* C:\CHAOS40 will take care of this for you. OR ... Copy {drive}:\{path}\*.IS* {drive}:\{path} for the general case. SPECIAL NOTE FOR Version 3.x Upgrade Users: The first time that you start the new version. It will ask you if it is OK to convert your datafiles to the new format. Once, you convert these files they may NOT be used with a previous version of Time & Chaos, so DO NOT DELETE your old datafiles until you are sure that you love the new version.
