#72565- Import broken Message #72690

#72206- Import broken Message #72527
The product was not designed for NT. It's a choice that development has made. Dean Okna Tech
#Patch #2 for 4.1b Message #71976
The second patch for 4.1b has just been uploaded to CompuServe, and will probably appear later today.

Louis , Point well taken Dean Okna Tech

calender items lost Message #71470
David, We have had similar reports with the update. Which version of DTS do you have? If it is the original upgrade, then also download the patch. Are you running calendar in start-up or overnight? This may cause problems. Disks will be available once all patches are complete for 4.1b.…

Steven, Make sure that you have selected fonts and sizes for the addresses, and then use the test function on an 8 1/2 x 11 page and adjust the margins accordingly. Dean Okna Tech
Ed, Unfortuneately, this is a known bug in DTS. The print driver is being redesigned for the major update, and will hopefully solve this problem. You can put a manual return in your notes to prevent them form running over. Dean Okna Tech

Copy files to DTS Message #70080
Kenneth, You only need the Q&A files if you had version 4.0; they were not included in older versions of DTS. The other file is not one of ours; we have not tested it in 4.1b. You may want to consult the programmer. 4.1b has built in macros for integration…
