RELEASE NOTES FOR DOUBLEVIEW and DOUBLEVIEW MANUAL
--------------------------------------------------

October 30, 1990 for manual# DBI 91000021D ("Rev D")


GENERAL

*    The WYSE60 emulation is a subset of the WYSE60 Native Mode.

*    The current version of DoubleVIEW does not support the
     downloading of function key definitions.  If you have screen
     or formatting problems with an application that uses its own
     TERMCAP entry, compare it with the entry in /etc/termcap (or
     with /usr/lib/info for some systems) and make sure that they
     are alike.  If you have further problems, contact the
     application vendor's technical support.

     Example: SCO XENIX WORDPERFECT 5.0

     WordPerfect 5.0 for SCO XENIX can be run successfully from a
     DoubleVIEW terminal emulating the SCO Console. In order to
     do this, the "scocons" or "scoconscol" .TRS file needs to be
     modified using the WPTERM utility.  Please contact
     WordPerfect for the exact terminal initialization string



DCOPY

*    The auto file typing ASCII or the /A switch will not send
     letters from the IBM extended character set (above ASCII
     128).  If you need to do so, DCOPY the file as binary, using
     the /B switch.  Then use the UNIX program TR to convert the
     DOS carriage return/linefeed combinations to Newlines.  

     If transferring a UNIX extended character file to DOS, use
     TR (UNIX) to convert the Newlines to CR/LF, then DCOPY the
     file to DOS as binary using the /B switch.

     Alternately, the translations can be done on the DOS side,
     with the DigiBoard program TR.EXE (in the MISC directory).











Using DoubleVIEW and DCOPY with Windows 3.0


     DoubleVIEW and DCOPY are DOS programs, but can be used under
     Windows 3.0.  If you are running Windows 3.0 in Enhanced 386
     mode, DCOPY can even transfer files in the background while
     you are working on other tasks.  (Windows 3.0 Real and
     Standard modes allow task switching, but not multi-tasking.)

     Because DoubleVIEW is a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident)
     program, and DCOPY requires the resident portion of
     DoubleVIEW to operate, some special steps are required to
     install and use them effectively under Windows.

     *    Always run DoubleVIEW before starting Windows.  This
          will install the TSR portion of DoubleVIEW.

     *    To access DoubleVIEW from Windows, you can double-click
          on the DOS prompt, and then press the DoubleVIEW Alt-V
          hotkey combination to get into DoubleVIEW.  

          As a handier alternative, a program named DBV_ALTV.EXE
          is included on your DoubleVIEW disk.  You can double-
          click on this icon from Windows, and the DoubleVIEW
          screen will appear automatically.  (DBV_ALTV.EXE
          "types" place the Alt-V keystroke in the keyboard
          buffer for you.)  When you hot-key out of DoubleVIEW,
          you will return to the Windows Program Manager.

          Also see "Installing for Windows" below.

     *    DCOPY requires parameters like the DOS COPY command. 
          When you click on the DCOPY icon, Windows will first
          ask for these command-line parameters.  

          As a DOS example, a simple DCOPY command to copy the
          file TEMP.TXT from the default DOS directory to the
          default UNIX directory would appear as:

               DCOPY C:TEMP.TXT U:

          When Windows asks for command line parameters when you
          run DCOPY, just type in the C:TEMP.TXT U: part of the
          above.  (In other words, don't type "DCOPY.")  

          The DCOPY PIF file is set up so that DCOPY runs in a
          resizable window.  Once DCOPY is running and trans-
          ferring your file(s), you can re-size the window (to
          watch it work while you go on to other applications). 
          You can leave DCOPY running in the background by
          pressing CTRL-ESC.  When the DCOPY icon disappears from
          the bottom of your Program Manager screen, the file
          transfer is complete!  (Again, background use of DCOPY
          will only work in Windows 3.0 386 Enhanced Mode.)






INSTALLING FOR WINDOWS


Installing DBV_ALTV.EXE

     1.   If you haven't done so already, install DoubleVIEW
          according to the instructions in the DoubleVIEW manual.

     2.   Run DoubleVIEW, then run Windows.  Single click on the
          Program Group you wish DoubleVIEW and DCOPY to be in,
          or create a new Program Group if desired.  (See your
          Windows 3.0 instructions.)

     3.   Pull down the Program Manager's FILE menu, and select
          NEW.  When the New Program Object dialog box appears,
          choose Program Item, then press the OK button.

     4.   When the Program Item Properties dialog box appears,
          click on "Browse..."  Use the Directories box to go to
          the directory where your DoubleVIEW programs are
          stored.  (The default directory name is DBVIEW.)  

     5.   In the Files: box, click on dbv_altv.pif, and press the
          OK button.

     6.   Back in the Program Item Properties box, type in a name
          of your choice under "Description."  (HINT: short names
          clutter up the screen less; we suggest "DBVIEW.")  Do
          not press ENTER yet!  (If you do, pull down the FILE
          menu again, and select "Properties.")

     7.   Now click on the "Change Icon..." button.  Change the
          File Name to read "C:\DBVIEW\DBVIEW.ICO" and press the
          OK button.

     8.   Back in the Program Item Properties box, press the OK
          button.  The DoubleVIEW icon will now appear in the
          Program Group box you selected.  If you double-click on
          the icon, the DoubleVIEW online-mode screen will
          appear.  Press ALT-V to return to Windows.


Installing DCOPY.EXE under Windows 3.0

     1.   If you haven't done so already, install DoubleVIEW
          according to the instructions in the DoubleVIEW manual.

     2.   Run DoubleVIEW, then run Windows.  Single click on the
          Program Group you wish DoubleVIEW and DCOPY to be in,
          or create a new Program Group if desired.  (See your
          Windows 3.0 instructions.)

     3.   Pull down the Program Manager's FILE menu, and select
          NEW.  When the New Program Object dialog box appears,
          choose Program Item, then press the OK button.

     4.   When the Program Item Properties dialog box appears,
          click on "Browse..."  Use the Directories box to go to
          the directory where your DoubleVIEW programs are
          stored.  (The default directory name is DBVIEW.)  

     5.   In the Files: box, click on dcopy.pif, and press the OK
          button.

     6.   Back in the Program Item Properties box, type in a name
          of your choice under "Description."  (We suggest
          "DCOPY.")  Do not press ENTER yet!  (If you do, pull
          down the FILE menu again, and select "Properties.")

     7.   Now click on the "Change Icon..." button.  Change the
          File Name to read "C:\DBVIEW\DCOPY.ICO" and press the
          OK button.
