The code page fix is only needed if you Windows
keyboard setting is set up for a keyboard that is
incompatible with the standard American code page.
English & Dutch users for example will have no
problems.
It seems to be a bug, that even though the right
codepage should be loaded via
config.nt/autoexec.nt, when a DOS program is
launched, it does in fact not happen.
Anyway using this batch file is a fast fix to the
problem. Another fix is to set your Windows
keyboard setting to English(US), but then you loose
all those nice regional letters :-(

Hello TACLog Users
Long time no news. But here is a little news mail
to you all.
PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS 2000 AND WINDOWS XP
-----------------------------------------
Q: Why will TACLog sometimes on some PCs not run
under Windows 2000, or
Windows XP. A: The problem is under
investigation. It could be that one of
the following issues are relevant to your
problem:
- Hard disk file system is NTFS. If you have a
spare hard disk try
to format it with FAT16 or FAT32 instead.
- The hard disk is too big. Try a smaller one if
you have one.
Running TACLog in full screen mode. Try to run
it in a windowed DOS box.
- Uffe, PA5DD, found that creating a small .BAT
file helped him with
Windows 2000 setting the Code Page first:
mode con cp select=850 (other code pages
should work as well)
cd c:\taclog (the path to where
you store TACLog)
taclog.exe
Then start TACLog by executing this .BAT file.
Peter, OZ1PIF, has found the latter to work on
Windows XP with a NTFS
formatted hard disk. He is currently verifying
that it is a bullet-proof
solution.
PLEASE report your findings on this issue.
QSL.NET MAIL ADDRESS
--------------------
Due to a lot of rejected mails sent to my QSL.NET
e-mail address I have
decided to change my ham e-mail address to
oz2m@m...
RELEASE 1,994
-------------
If you use releases below 1,994 I suggest that
you update. If you do not
have 1,994 your release is more than one year
old.
