#New PAR Software
I was told by DPS today that a new version of PAR software (ver. 1.37?) will be
released in the next few days. Let's hope that small problems like corruption
and backing-up have been addressed.
I was also told that you should use the DOS copy to transfer to/from the PAR
because the PAR import / export is too unstable (in ver. 1.34B). Am I the last
one to know this?
Here's a thought – I recently lost 10s of thousands of dollars worth of
animation when my PAR drive got corrupted (I was trying to back-up over a
network), and I was left with pitiful little fragments here and there. After I
saved all the fragments to the local hard drive, I decided to reformat the PAR
drive (for the first time since it was new). I hit the Format button and it
took about half a second to erase and format the whole drive! I didn't have
any time to mourn the lost data! You'd think they'd put in a delay or
something so you could at least say some parting words…no respect.
