#SB Personal 2
9 messages in this thread
I have Superbase Personal 2, version 3.01. I just installed the version
2.04 roms for my 2500. I am using the feature of WB that allows a bigger WB
screen than the physical screen, currently set to 1200 x 400. When I run
SB2 it comes up in interlaced mode (didn't use to do that) and the screen
behaves "funny".
What happens is this: if I move the mouse pointer past the right edge of
the screen it wraps around to the left edge and gets about 1/3 of the way
across before it stops. Also, dialog boxes appear too far to the right,
ie, they use to be centered, but now they are off to the right edge.
Is there an update to SB2 to work properly with large WB screens?
Thanks.
Mr. Neron,
Superbase Personal was discontinued by Precision, Inc. Whether or not
Oxxi, Inc., the new owners of the software, will update it is unknown to
me. Superbase Professional 4 works fine in these enhanced modes, though.

Ok, thanks for letting me know where to look.
Gene,
This use to work with SBPro 3 but try putting this into your tool types
icon: SCREEN=CUSTOM (must be in caps), and see if this helps.

I have passed this report along to the development team here. One thing we
have noticed in the past month is an increase in reports of problems with
systems running Version 2.04 (Rev 5 or lower) Workbench in ROM. These
reports have been communicated with West Chester, and the "non-official"
response was that the trouble should be solved in Rev 6 of the ROMs.
I don't know if this trouble is covered under the same heading, but thanks
to Steve Setzer for a great suggestion for a work-around!

Not so fast Patricia. I tried what Steve suggested and SBP2 works ok,but it
has trashed my Workbench screen. Using the RESET WB option of WB fixed up
the display, but I'm concerned that it's trashed something in the OS and
I'm going to go down in flames later.
How can I tell what version of the ROMS I have (without opening my machine
and looking, that is)?
Is Oxxi going to make any changes to SBP2 to keep it current with the OS?
What about Maxiplan?
All help and info appreciated.

Obviously, our highest development priority is with the Superbase Pro4
product. Other development plans are subject to re-evaluation of the
expected return for the development dollar — in other words, I don't know
yet…

Ok, well, whatever happens, happens, I guess. Thanks for the reply.
Steve, I tried that and SB worked fine, but my Workbench display was
trashed, as were some of my other custom screens that were open at the
time. Resizing the window in the other screens and using RESET WB in
workbench fixes the displays, but I'm concerned it's trashed something in
the OS and I'll crash later.
Thanks for the tip anyway, tho'.
