1. INSTALLATION
---------------

Make sure that DOS SHARE is loaded before accessing Paradox data tables.
If you are not sure if SHARE is already loaded, type "share" at the DOS
prompt.  SHARE provides a message if it is already loaded.  If SHARE is
not loaded, add the SHARE command to your AUTOEXEC.BAT.


2. DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
------------------------

In the ObjectVision Reference manual on page 79, note the following:

ObjectVision uses .OVG as the default extension for files containing
both bitmap and metafile graphics.  The documentation states that the
default extensions used are .BMP for bitmaps and .WMF for Windows
metafiles.

In the ObjectVision Reference manual on page 239, note the following:

There are some inconsistencies in the ANSI characters listed for code
numbers greater than 176.  Refer to the ANSI table in the documentation
that came with your copy of Windows for the correct characters.


3. PRINTER DRIVERS
------------------

If you experience long print times, improved drivers may be available that
reduce print times considerably.  If the most recent drivers aren't in 
your copy of Windows 3.0, you can order the "Windows 3.0 Supplemental
Driver Library" software from Microsoft for a nominal charge by calling
(800) 426-9400. These drivers are also available on CompuServe.  Just type
GO MSCON and scan for the keyword SDL in the Microsoft Software Library.


4. USER NAME LIMITS 
-------------------

If you use the Paradox Engine Configuration Utility (described in 
Appendix D of the Reference manual) to change the default user name for 
ObjectVision, don't exceed the maximum number of characters your network
allows.  If your user name does exceed the maximum number, it is truncated
and might no longer be a unique name.


5. .DLL FILES
-------------

When you install ObjectVision, the .DLL files for the Paradox Engine
and Novell's Btrieve are placed in your ObjectVision directory. However,
.DLL files you get from other sources might be different versions that
are placed in different directories.

Only one .DLL gets loaded into memory.  If there are multiple versions
on your disk, the first one loaded is the one that is used.  This can
cause problems when an application needs a later version of the .DLL
but an earlier version is already loaded.  In a situation like this, the
application won't run properly.

When ObjectVision loads the .DLL, it will look first in its own
directory, then the Windows directory, and then any directory in your
PATH statement.

Use the date stamp on the .DLL file to decide which is most recent
version.  If there is an earlier version of the DLL in the Windows
directory, overwrite it.  If there is a later version in the Windows
directory, just delete the version in ObjectVision's directory.
If there are copies of the Engine .DLL in other directories, place the
most recent one in the Windows directory.


6. NON-ASCII SORT ORDER
----------------------- 

Before using existing Paradox or Btrieve tables with non-ASCII sort orders,
open the Control Panel's International icon and choose the language and
country settings that match the table's sort order.  When you create
Paradox or Btrieve tables with ObjectVision, your current language and
country settings are automatically used.
