If you're using Linux, Macintosh or OS/2, the .exe file isn't going to do you any good. Instead, you take the .zip file, unpack it to create a folder, and move the files into place by hand. Hopefully I'll be able to create a Macintosh installer to automate that process Real Soon Now, but I don't know how to do that for Linux or OS/2. Note that the 1.0.5 update et al is really intended for testing; as you've seen in the Yahoo group, those updates occasionally backfire for some people. And I'm lost. Can you point me to someplace that can give me an overviewThe best overview we've got is: or for the DecoderPro part: For installing the original program, but not the update, please see: It would be great if somebody wanted to write some better documentation. A manual, even a very basic one, would be _really_ great. Bob -- -------------- Bob Jacobsen (Bob_Jacobsen@..., 510-486-7355, fax 510-495-2957) |

The Mac "classic" version of Java uses an older set of libraries. The code to put "little" editable numbers on the speed table sliders uses a routine that's not present in this older version, hence the error. I didn't catch this in testing, sorry. I'll protect against the error, retest on an older Mac and get an update out shortly. Bob -- -------------- Bob Jacobsen (Bob_Jacobsen@..., 510-486-7355, fax 510-495-2957) |

1.0.5 version in two forms
The 1.0.5 version is available as a Windows installer at:
For those using Macintosh (MacOS X or "Classic"), OS/2 and Linux can update their existing 1.0 installations from a .zip file that's available at: The instructions for updating are in the README.txt file in the .zip archive, please let me know of any problems.

The CV pane is broken, looking for more problems
Sorry to have fallen behind in the email, there have been some other things going on at this end.
You're right, the CV pane is really broken. I'm away from my layout until (probably) Wednesday, so can't check everything, there seem to be a number of problems: a) The "Read Sheet", "Read All", "Write Sheet" and "Write All" buttons just plain don't work. b) Writing a CV by changing the value on the CV pane and clicking write can sometimes write nothing (no change), or write a zero value. c) Changes to the CV pane are not always reflected in the other panes. d) There's something wrong with how the CV pane understands the "state" of a CV's value. On other panes, this is reflected in the color. Here, it shows in the State column (which is not directly editable on purpose). But sometimes that State column is not right, e.g. an edited CV doesn't show as "Edited". And clicking the state column can change that (as if the state really had changed, but the display hadn't updated) I've been able to reproduce a, b and d, and have no doubt that c happens too. I'll look in to it soon. Sorry for the trouble. In the meantime, people might want to use the single-CV programmer instead of that pane for changing a single CV. You can (he said optimistically) have one of those and a set of panes open at the same time and use them both, but they won't see each others changes to values. Has anybody had any problems with _reading_ CVs from the CV pane? Bob -- -------------- Bob Jacobsen (Bob_Jacobsen@..., 510-486-7355, fax 510-495-2957) |
