Program Temporary Fix

Windowing System Manager 7.0

This PTF contains a modified version of one or more program modules. The modification is not a full upgrade or a product replacement; it is a temporary program fix that is valid only until we release an update that incorporates the changes to the product.

Temporary licenses for applications
This Service Pack allows you to install ACCPAC Plus applications and use them for up to 30 days before you get a program activation code from ACCPAC International. You must enter program activation codes within 30 days using the installation program, or the temporary licenses will expire. Note that temporary licensing does not apply to LanPak.

Two-digit years in DBIII files
The released version of WSM 7.0 does not import two-digit years properly from DBIII. This Service Pack corrects the problem.

Entering two-digit years in four-digit year fields
This Service Pack allows you to enter two-digit years in four-digit year
fields. To enter, type the last two digits of the year, entering two
spaces or two periods for the century either before or after the two
digits (to fill out the field).

Faster checking of menu permissions
This Service Pack enables Windowing System Manager to check permissions on the menu items faster than the current release of the System Manager. (Checking occurs when an application is started with the security system in use.) The speed difference is most noticeable on Wide Area Networks and with older operating systems, such as MS Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

Supports more Finder fields
This Service Pack allows the System Manager to work with the larger number of Finder fields required by the Version 7.0 applications.

Switch to Supervisor function
The released version of Windowing System Manager 7.0 can set the system menu permissions incorrectly when the "Switch to Supervisor" function is used. This Service Pack corrects the problem.

Prior Fixes in Service Pack 1

Prevents Failure When Swapping Between Applications
The current release of System Manager will occasionally perform an "illegal operation" under Microsoft Windows when swapping between some ACCPAC application windows using function keys F4 or F10 (causing the DOS session to be terminated). This PTF fixes the problem.

Doesn't Forget the Previous Settings When Editing Colors
Version 7.0 of the System Manager does not retain settings properly when you edit the colors on the Colors and Shades screen. (When you choose Colors and Shades, System Manager internally sets the colors back to the factory defaults while continuing to display your previous settings. When you save the color settings, System Manager saves your new changes only; previous changes are ignored.) This PTF fixes the problem
