       DB101U - Dashboard for Windows 1.01 Update  10/20/92
                        
Applicable Versions
===================

This patch is applicable to Dashboard for Windows 1.0 (US English)
ONLY and can NOT be used for later or other language versions of 
Dashboard.  The patch is implemented using .RTPatch software from 
PocketSoft, which updates Dashboard 1.0 files to version 1.01.  
This patch updates an INSTALLED system, it will NOT update the 
Dashboard installation disk.

Installing the 1.01 patch
=========================

Once you have run the self-extracting file DB101U.EXE, you will see
the following files:

    README            3105 10-20-92   1.01a - This file
    NOTICE            1793 10-20-92   1.01a - Disclaimer
    PATCH    EXE     76981 10-20-92   1.01a - RTPatch program
    DB101U   RTP     63674 10-20-92   1:01a - Update file


To update an installed copy of Dashboard 1.0 (US English) to version
1.01, perform the following:

  o Shut down Dashboard and Windows.  
  
  o Go into the directory where PATCH.EXE and DB101U.RTP are located, 
    and update your Dashboard directory using the following syntax:

       SYNTAX:   PATCH <patchfilename> <targetdirectory>
  
    For example, if Dashboard is located in C:\DASH, you would use:

       PATCH DB101U C:\DASH

  o If any problem occurs during the patch process, the patch program 
    will UNDO any updates it makes, leaving your Dashboard files in 
    their original state.  If an update fails due to low disk space 
    (less than 1MB free), you should backup your 1.0 Dashboard files 
    to a floppy and then patch Dashboard using the /NOUNDO feature 
    to immediately update the directory, and not make temporary 
    backout files.

      EXAMPLE:  PATCH DB101U C:\DASH /NOUNDO

  
What's changed in 1.01
======================

Changes were made to make the fonts larger for users using Hi-Res
screen resolutions (800x600, 1024x768 or above).  Dashboard now uses 
a seven-point font in all cases.  Additionally, an option to use a 
bold typeface can be added to DASH.INI (see the README.ADV file after 
the update).  Dashboard now reads icons correctly when changing 
screen resolution, such as going from VGA to SVGA.
   
The F1-F12 keys used to bring Dashboard to the front conflicts with 
some application accelerators.  Dashboard now allows F13 through F16 
to be used to bring Dashboard to the front.  Since most keyboards do 
not have these keys, using these values essentially turns off the 
feature.  The next full release of Dashboard will be more robust in 
this area.
   
Fixes were made to resolve GPF issues (General Protection Faults) that 
could occur with some applications.  Other changes were made to allow 
Dashboard to work better with debugging versions of Windows and make 
extended screens and the load layout function work better with 
HP NewWave.

The ability to have Dashboard automatically load a layout file has
been a highly requested feature, and will appear in the next full
release of Dashboard.
