    Release Notes (README.NOW) for Relish Net 2.23 Update Kit
    October 1997


    The Relish Net 2.23 Update Kit will update your copy of Relish Net
    2.20, 2.21, or 2.22 to Version 2.23.

    To use it on a workstation, just run the INSTALL program as if you were
    installing the Relish Net workstation software for the first time.  Note
    that you must install the update over an existing copy of Relish Net, so
    it is suggested that you backup the contents of your Relish Net
    workstation directory before installing the update.

    To use it on a server, simply stop the Relish Net server software, then
    copy the relevant updated files (NOWKEEP.EXE and NOWSERVE.EXE) to the
    directory where the server software is installed, and, finally, restart
    the server software.  It is also suggested that you make a backup copy
    of the contents of the server software directory after stopping the
    software but before updating the files.

    This version is fully compatible with earlier Relish Net 2.2 versions.
    Therefore, you need not update all your servers and workstations at the
    same time.


    CAUTION

    This kit is ONLY for use in updating an installed copy of Relish Net 
    2.2. It cannot be used to update a copy of Relish, the Relish Working
    Model, nor Relish Net 2.12 or earlier.  

    The update kit is is not a complete copy of the Relish Net 2.23 product
    and thus cannot be used by itself.  If you are looking for a demo copy
    of Relish Net 2.23, try the single user Relish 2.23 Working Model or
    contact Sundial Systems for an evaluation copy of Relish Net 2.23.

    Also note that this is not the correct update kit if you are using
    (single user) Relish.  For that, you need the Relish 2.23 Update Kit.


    What is Version 2.23?

    Version 2.23 is a maintenance release of the Relish 2.2 series.  In
    general, the features of this version are identical to earlier releases
    within the 2.2 series -- the primary differences are a small number of
    bug fixes and other corrections.  In addition, Relish Net 2.23 includes
    some necessary changes for use with RelishWeb 1.0.

    Version 2.23 does not add any new features beyond those already in
    Relish Net 2.22. There are, however, some features in Version 2.22 
    that are not described elsewhere in the Relish 2.2 documentation:

    * On-line User's Guide:  The complete Relish 2.2 User's Guide is now
      included as an OS/2 INF file.  To view it, select the User's Guide
      option under Help, or use any standard OS/2 method to view the 
      RELISH.INF file installed in the Relish directory.

    * Multimedia Reminders:  Relish now supports the use of any 
      Multimedia sound or movie file for use in place of the conventional
      Relish reminder chime tones.  To access this function, enter 
      "\\FILE:", followed by the full path name of the sound or movie file,
      in place of any Relish Chime Tone definition.  For example,

                \\FILE:C:\MMOS2\SOUNDS\CUCKOO.WAV

      Note: this option requires that OS/2 Multimedia be installed and that
      the file type (WAV, MID, AVI, etc) be supported by your Multimedia
      installation.

    * Closing the Calendar Window:  If you close the Relish Calendar window
      while Relish is minimized, the main Relish window is now closed (rather
      than just the Calendar window).  When you then reopen Relish, it will
      open in a minimized state.

    * Plain Background Printer Setting:  A setting is now provided to turn
      off shading under the text on all Relish Prints.  This is primarily
      intended as a workaround for problems in some of the OS/2 Warp printer
      drivers.  For more information, see the Limitations section below.

    * Additional Iconbar Icon:  An icon for the View Include Group menu
      option has been added to the set of possible iconbar icons.  While
      it does not appear on the iconbar by default, you may add it or 
      replace one of the existing entries with it.
 
    * Additional CSV Import/Export Profiles:  A small number of additional
      CSV import/export profiles have been included.  See the README.CSV
      file for more information.


    OS/2, Presentation Manager, and Workplace Shell Compatibility:

    Relish 2.2 is designed specifically for use with OS/2 Version 2, 3,
    or 4 and the Workplace Shell.  This includes all of the following
    releases:

        OS/2 Warp 4
            "General Availability" release
        OS/2 Warp Server
            "General Availability" release
        OS/2 Warp Connect
            "Red Box" (for use with Windows) release
            "Blue Box" (with Win-OS2) release
        OS/2 Warp (OS/2 Version 3)
            "Red Box" (for use with Windows) release
            "Full Pack" (with Win-OS2) release
        OS/2 2.1 for Windows 
            "General Availability" release
            "Service Pack" (CSD 6300) release
        OS/2 2.1 
            "General Availability" release
            "Service Pack" (CSD 6200) release
            "Manufacturing Refresh" (2.11) release
        OS/2 2.0 
            "General Availability" release
            "Preload" (2.00.1) release
            "Service Pack" (CSD 6055) release
 
    Most "FixPak" levels of OS/2 Warp, Warp Connect, and Warp Server have
    also been tested.  See the "Limitations" section below for known issues
    with specific FixPak levels.

    Relish Hot Buns are designed for use only with OS/2 2.1 and higher
    (including OS/2 Warp) -- they are not supported under OS/2 2.0.


    LAN Compatibility

    As discussed in the Relish Net Administrator's Guide, the Relish
    Net software includes components which run on each workstation as
    well as components which run on the server.  These components
    communicate using "named pipes."  In general, Relish Net is compatible
    with any LAN software which supports named pipes on a particular 
    version of OS/2.

    Thus, Relish Net 2.2 works with:

        Artisoft Lantastic for OS/2 v1.0 (or higher)

        IBM LAN Server 2.0 (or higher) or Warp Connect or Warp Server

        IBM Peer for OS/2 (from Warp Connect or Warp 4)

        Novell NetWare Client for OS/2 version 2.1 (or higher) or
          Novell NetWare Workstation Kit for OS/2 v2.0 (or higher)

    subject to any restrictions imposed by particular software 
    versions as noted below.  (Other LAN environments which include 
    support for "named pipes" may also be compatible but are not 
    officially supported by Sundial Systems at this time.)  

    Note:  The Relish Net workstations and server must be in the same 
    LAN environment (LAN Server, NetWare, or Lantastic) -- 
    communication between, for example, a Relish Net workstation under 
    LAN Server and a Relish Net workstation under NetWare, is not 
    supported.  An exception to this is that Lan Server and OS/2 Peer
    workstations can be intermixed.


    Lantastic Compatibility

    Relish Net works with any version of Lantastic for OS/2 1.0 or
    higher.

    Since Lantastic is based on a peer-to-peer model, the Relish Net
    server software actually runs on a peer workstation.  All 
    workstations communicate with this particular peer to exchange 
    information.


    LAN Server Compatibility

    Relish Net works with any version of IBM LAN Server 2.0 or higher.

    The Lan Requester code in Warp Connect or Warp 4 is based on that
    in Lan Server 4.0 and thus is supported.

    Warp Server is based on Lan Server 5.0 and thus is supported.

    Note:  Due to a problem in LAN Server 2.0 (as distinguished from 3.0 
    or 4.0), the Relish Net server code cannot be used on a server unless 
    LAN Server ServicePak IP06030 has been applied.  The ServicePak 
    may also be applied to the workstations but is not required by 
    Relish Net.


    IBM Peer Compatibility

    Relish Net works with any version of IBM Peer for OS/2 (sometimes
    also called Peer Services).

    Since IBM Peer is based on a peer-to-peer model, the Relish Net
    server software actually runs on a peer workstation.  All 
    workstations communicate with this particular peer to exchange 
    information.

    The current edition of the Relish Net Administrator's Guide does
    not specifically discuss installation of the server software on
    IBM Peer.  In general, the instructions for Lan Server also apply
    to IBM Peer with the following exceptions:

        On Step 4, you cannot use Option 1 - you must use Option 2.
        To start the Relish Net server process, you must use
        RNET START.  A good place to do this is in the STARTUP.CMD
        file on the Relish Net server machine.  Note that the RNET
        START command must be after the NET START PEER or NET START
        REQ commands.

        And, Step 6 does not apply to an IBM Peer installation.


    NetWare Compatibility

    In the case of NetWare, the requester must be configured to support
    Named Pipes -- in Novell terms, the Relish Net workstation software
    is a "named pipe client."  In general, it is strongly recommended
    that the version of the NetWare requester be matched to the 
    version of OS/2 being used -- older requesters tend to have 
    problems on newer versions of OS/2 (and potentially vice versa).

    Note: The NetWare Client for OS/2 2.11 (as distinguished from the
    older NetWare Workstation Kit versions) is designed for use with
    all OS/2 Version 2 and Version 3 releases, including OS/2 Warp.
    (To make things a bit confusing, the on-line documentation for
    version 2.11 of the NetWare Client is entitled "NetWare Client for
    OS/2 v2.1" rather than 2.11 as noted in the WSOS21.TXT file on disk 1.)
    In particular, note that named pipe support in the NetWare 
    Workstation Kit does not work reliably under OS/2 Warp.  Thus, if 
    you are using OS/2 Warp with NetWare, it is strongly suggested that
    you upgrade to the Version 2.11 client rather than attempt to use
    any of the older versions.  (The NetWare support in Warp Connect
    is based on the NetWare Client for OS/2 2.11 and will work correctly.)

    Note: The NetWare Requester for OS/2 v2.0 (as distinguished from
    v2.01 or v2.1) contains a number of problems related to named pipe 
    support.  These are corrected by the first Novell Service Diskette 
    (NSD #1) for the NetWare Workstation Kit for OS/2 v2.0 (which contains 
    the Requester).  (To make things more confusing, NSD #1 is sometimes 
    called NSD 201 but is indeed something distinct from v2.01 of the 
    Requester).  If you plan to use v2.0 (as opposed to v2.01 or later) of 
    the NetWare Requester, it is strongly suggested that NSD #1 (or later) 
    be applied to the Requester before attempting to use Relish Net across 
    the LAN.  

    For the server when using Novell NetWare, the server software actually
    runs on a workstation (an "application server") rather than on the
    Novell NetWare server itself.  In Novell terms, Relish Net is a
    "distributed application" and the Relish Net server is a "named pipe
    server."  (See the section entitled "Using the NetWare Requester with
    Distributed Applications" in the NetWare Requester documentation.) In
    this case the Relish Net server requires that the Novell NetWare
    Requester be configured as a "named pipe server" subject to the
    same version restrictions as noted above.


    Removing Relish Hot Buns

    If you ever need to remove Relish from your system, you may not be able
    to delete the file named BUN.DLL from the directory where Relish is
    installed.  This is because of the way the OS/2 Workplace Shell handles
    desktop objects such as Relish Buns.  To remove the file (and any
    remaining Relish Buns), you must still have the BAKEBUNS.EXE and
    BAKEBUNS.LST files in the directory where Relish is installed.  (If you
    have already deleted them, simply copy them back from the diskette.)
    Then type:

        BAKEBUNS -REMOVE 

    to remove the buns.  Shutdown and reboot your system.  You will then be
    able to delete the BUN.DLL file from the Relish directory.


    CSV Profile Information

    One of the features in Relish 2.2 is the ability to import or export
    information in Comma Separated Value (CSV) format as discussed in the
    User's Guide.  A number of profiles for importing information from other
    products are included with Relish 2.2 but are NOT automatically copied
    to your hard disk.  See the README.CSV file for more information.  (In
    the update kit, the profiles are included contained in the CSV.ZIP file
    rather than on Disk #2).


    Limitations

    There are a small number of limitations in this version of the program.
    Most are related to problems in a particular OS/2 version for which
    there is currently no workaround.

    Limitations under all OS/2 versions:

    * If you request help (by pressing the F1 key) while dragging across
      the Note Palette, no help will be displayed.

    * If you change the shape of the Note Palette to tall and narrow, you
      cannot make it as narrow as you might like.

    * When dragging a date, time, or note palette icon onto an existing
      note in the main window's summary box, you must be somewhat careful
      when dropping onto a multiline entry.  Dropping near the top or
      bottom of the entry may not produce the desired result.  In general,
      try to drop on the middle line (when three lines are displayed).

    * Colors and fonts dropped on title bars, menus, and dialogs are
      neither saved nor restored.  (The colors and fonts for all other
      parts of Relish are saved and restored correctly.)

    * To print to other than the default OS/2 printer, you must enter the
      physical name of the printer (not the name under the printer icon) 
      in the Other Printer Name field of the Setup Printer dialog.  (This
      applies only if you print using the Relish menu options, not if
      you drag information from Relish to a Workplace Shell printer.)

    * If you drag an item from Relish onto the Workplace Shell icon for a
      program (such as the icon for an editor), the program will not be
      executed.  (As a workaround, drag the item onto the desktop, then
      drag the resulting text file icon onto the program icon.)

    * If you drag an unopened Relish Bun over an opened one (or over
      an open Relish window), it appears to be legal to drop the bun.
      In fact, this is not supported and should not be attempted.

    * When you open a Relish Bun, the small icon at the left end of the
      title bar (which represents the system menu) may be blank.  (The
      menu can still be used, however.)  This problem may also be apparent
      if you minimize a Relish Bun to the OS/2 Desktop:  the entire icon
      for the minimized window may be blank.
 
    Limitations under OS/2 Warp, including Warp Connect and Warp Server
    (not applicable to OS/2 2.0 and 2.1):

    * If you add a Relish Bun to your Launch Pad, the link to the bun
      may break when you reboot the system.  This happens in only a
      small percentage of cases (related to the timing of the 
      Workplace Shell startup relative to the Launch Pad startup).
      If you restore the broken link, it will probably break again;
      however, putting the same Bun in two different positions on the
      Launch Pad often avoids the problem with the second copy.

      In general, the problem only appears on systems where OS/2 is
      installed on a FAT partition (at any FixPak level) or on an
      HPFS partition (at FixPak level 17 or higher).

    * If you shadow a Relish Bun to the OS/2 desktop, the link to the
      bun will probably break when you reboot the system if FixPak 17
      or higher has been applied to the system.

    * Due to problems in some of the printer drivers shipped with OS/2
      Warp (particularly the Laserjet and OMNI drivers), the shading
      that appears under the text on some Relish prints may be very
      grainy and thus make the text very hard to read.  With the
      Laserjet driver, the problem can often be avoided (provided you
      have a Laserjet 4 or better), by adjusting the values of the
      HP-GL/2 and Fast System Fonts options in the print driver's
      job properties.  Otherwise, it is suggested that you use the
      Plain Background option in Relish's Settings Connections Printer
      dialog (Setup Printer dialog if using the Classic Relish menus)
      to turn off shading on Relish prints.

      Note: the Plain Background setting replaces the special version
      of NOWPRINT (the No Shade Print Option) supplied to some customers
      for use with Relish 2.21.
 
    * If your system uses a Trident video card and version 1.2 of the
      Trident OS/2 drivers, the system may hang when you open Relish.
      (Note that most preloaded Mxx-series Aptiva's fall in this category.)
      Upgrading to version 1.3 of the video drivers solves the problem.

    Limitations under OS/2 2.1 and 2.0 (not applicable to OS/2 Warp):

    * If you change the highlighting color of the currently selected note
      in the main window's summary box (by dragging a color from the OS/2
      Color Palette), the resulting color may not match the color you
      selected.  In general, only the 16 basic colors supported by a VGA
      display can be used for the background of the highlighting bar; the
      color you select will be mapped to the closest such color (which is
      light grey for many of the pastel colors in the Color Palette).
      (This problem is corrected by the OS/2 2.1 6200 CSD.)

    * When you close a Relish Bun you may briefly see a document icon (with
      a name usually ending in !!!) appear on the desktop or in the folder
      containing the bun.  This represents a transitory file being created
      and then destroyed by OS/2.  Usually, the icon immediately disappears
      but sometimes you need to Refresh the desktop (or folder) to make it
      go away.

    Limitations under OS/2 2.0 (not applicable to OS/2 2.1 and OS/2 Warp):

    * Relish Hot Buns are not supported.

    * The program will exit ungracefully if you drop a scheme from the
      scheme palette on the program's main window.

    * If you use the OS/2 System Setup to change the "dragging objects"
      mouse button from Button 2 to Button 1, you will not be able to
      drag note type icons from the Note Palette.

    * As you drag objects from Relish across objects on the desktop,
      partial outlines may be left around the desktop objects. (This
      problem is corrected by the OS/2 2.0 6055 CSD.)

    * Dragging information from Relish and dropping it onto the desktop
      (or into a folder) does not always produce the desired result.
      (This problem was introduced by the OS/2 2.0 6055 CSD.)
