John, Windows NT is not a priority. We are planning to be compatible with Win 95. Dean Okna Tech

#72565-Import broken
Message #72690
John, Development did not intentionally design DTS NOT to work with NT. It was designed specifically for standard windows. We intend to be compatible with Win95(?). Dean Okna Tech

The product was not designed for NT. It's a choice that development has made. Dean Okna Tech

#71993-Import broken
Message #72095
John, It sounds like you may have found a temporary work-around. Try breaking the database up into smaller files. Most people generally have problems when importing more than 2000 records. Regarding networking. This version will allow you to read and write to other calendars and address books across the network…

#71791-Import broken
Message #71993
I tried a few more things with Import. I found that if I hit "Ignore" on the task error dialogs (under WinNT), that Import wouldn't die, and would in fact import the data file, bringing me to the assignment screen with all the green text. However, while trying to import…

#71778-4.1b calendar won't open
Message #71982
Dean, I said I could open the Calendar program. I suppose IT opened a calendar, but I didn't. There't no way to clear the error messge. The choices are 'retry' or 'cancel.' Both give the same result: the error message goes away for about five seconds, then returns. Meantime whether…

The second patch for 4.1b has just been uploaded to CompuServe, and will probably appear later today. It will fix problems associated with Calendar alarms, including alarmed events overwriting each other. If you downloaded 4.1b in Februrary, you will need to have installed Patch 1 for this patch to work…

Message #71930
> Have you had any sound problems. Nope. Everything's nice and quiet. I'm not putting money for sound a card into my 386 (besides I'm out of slots), and I haven't scraped together the money for the multimedia pentium screamer that I really want. . . . John

#71761-#OS/2 Warp with Desktop S
Message #71927
John, Thanks for the info. The "FAST LOAD" does help considerably. Have you had any sound problems. I find that the alarms play very slowly under OS/2. It may be my sound card — AZTECH — but other windows apps seem to play the sounds at normal speed. Thanks again,…

#71767-call logging
Message #71916
Actually both. I thought I could record incoming calls without the caller ID hardware. At least the time date and duration. But that solves that. I can't record outgoing either though.

Caller ID help
Message #71898
I'm having trouble using the Caller ID program with the Zeus device. I have no trouble with the DOS program that Zeus supplies. The CallerID program recogizes the call, but can't find the number in the phonebook. Your Test routine can't find numbers either. Also, in the Address Book, 'find'…

#71719-#DTSWare for WPWin 6.1
Message #71824
Edward The file you want is DTSWP2.ZIP for the WPWin 6.0a macros. Unfortunately, they're not nearly as good as the newer 6.1 versions, but they are better than nothing, and arguably better than the alterantive… Hope this helps and I hope you like them. David P.S. I'd seriously recommend taking…

#71732-#Word Macro Problems!!!!!
Message #71823
Howard The problem is WinWord NT, not Win95. Win95 should behave exactly the same as Win3.x, but WinWord NT is known to behave differently than 16-bit WinWord. If you have any knowledge of WinWord macros, you can modify the macros yourself to make them work properly. Of course, if I…

Tim, I was not able to duplicate what you mentioned regarding paging, as my paging service does not give the busy signal to show completed. You may need to experiment to see what happens. Are you using an alpha-numeric pager or a digital one? Dean Okna Tech
