Introduction This document is a collection of questions and answers that have been encountered by users of the Relish Time Management product. The questions are collected from Compuserve discussions, telephone support calls, messages on our BBS, and other electronic media. 2. What is the current version of Relish? The current version of Relish is 2.21 for both Single user and Network versions. Version 2.2 refers to both versions 2.20 and 2.21. Version 2.21 is a maintenance release that fixes a few small bugs in version 2.20. Since it adds no functionality to version 2.20, and all of the bugs are minor, we are shipping it upon customer request only. If you haven't encountered a problem, then your probably don't need this maintenance release. For information on how to obtain this release, see the section on contacting Sundial Systems. 3. What is the difference between the Single User and Network version of Relish? Relish Net is a superset of Relish Single User. In addition to all of the features found in the single user product, Relish Net adds the notion of People, Places, and Things. These three concepts are all things that can manage or be managed in Relish. There are many additional features that facilitate group scheduling. Relish Net works with Lan Server, NetWare, LANtastic, and Peer Services (Warp Connect). 4. Where can I get a demo of Relish? Sundial Systems provides a Working Model of the Single User version of Relish. This is a fully functional program, except that printing, import/export, and Buns are disabled, and scheduling is limited to the next 48 hours. The Working Model does give you a good idea of Relish's capabilities and usability. The Working Model can be obtained several ways: Service Location & File Name --------- ---------------------------- CompuServe OS2AVEN, section 5, RWM220.ZIP Internet ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/os2/demos/rwm220.zip BBS 310-596-7825 RWM220.ZIP Or, you can call us at (310)-596-5121 and we can mail you a Working Model 5. How can I contact Sundial Systems? You can call Sundial Systems at (310)-596-5121. We can be reached via the Internet by sending mail to relish@ibm.net. You can send a CompuServe message to 74001,2566, or in our support section #5 in OS2AVEN. You may FAX us at (310)-598-9851. 6. I used to have the small calendar on my desktop. How can I get it back? If you are using the Trendy menus, select Settings->Notesheet. If you are using Classic menus, select Choose->Workspace. On the dialog that appears, on the right hand side, under Open Windows, check the box labeled Calendar. 7. Why does Relish only have one phone number field? Isn't that a bit unrealistic? While there is only one entry field for phone number, Relish supports multiple phone numbers. To utilize this feature, separate your phone numbers with a semicolon. You can also place labels on phone numbers and Relish will automatically strip them out when dialing. A sample phone number field might look like this: "Home:(714)-555-1212;Work(310)-596-5121; Fax(310)-598-9851;W2:555-1212" 8. Is there a version of Relish available for Windows? No. Currently, Relish is only available on OS/2. Will there be a Windows version of Relish? Not likely. However, Sundial Systems is constantly evaluating future platforms for deployment of our technology. 9. What is the difference between version 2.12 and the current version? The version of Relish in The Warp Companion from Sams Publishing and the Productivity Pak from Development Technologies is version 2.12. This was the major release prior to 2.2. The features that were added to version 2.2 include Type-to-Search, Floating Notes, Buns, enhanced repetition capability, and more. 10. What are the Buns I keep hearing about? Buns are a lighthearted name for one of the major features in version 2.2. A Bun is a desktop object that encapsulates a view and a collection of settings. For example, you might use a bun to represent a group in your phone book, or all entries that contain the word OS/2. 11. Is there a competitive upgrade to Relish? No. Instead of offering competitive upgrades, Sundial chooses to offer version upgrades at little or no cost. In over seven years, there have only been charges for two of the many different upgrades 12. If I want to copy my data files to a different machine, which files do I need? For complete details of this process, please read Appendix A. First, run STOPNOW. Then copy all of the files with the .NOW extension. Also copy NOW.DEF and NOWSERVE.INI. Do NOT copy RELISH.INI 13. How do I change to colors in Relish? I looked through all of the dialogs and menus and can't find it! Relish is designed to integrate with the Workplace Shell. This means that the techniques you learned for OS/2 apply to Relish. To change a color, open the color palette and drop a color onto a part of Relish. To change the color of the foreground text rather than the background, hold down the Control key. You can also change Relish's fonts with drag-and-drop from the Font Palette. 14. When will the next version of Relish be available and what features will it have? Watch this space! While we area ALWAYS working on new Relish versions (and have been continuously since 1987 when OS/2 was originally announced), we haven't yet announce what version will follow 2.2 (other than minor maintenance releases). 15. I recently purchased an Aptiva Pentium system with OS/2 pre-installed. Whenever I start Relish, it locks up the system. What can I do? The drivers that ship with the Aptiva systems have a bug in them. The latest drivers from Trident fix this problem. To obtain these drivers, call Trident's BBS at 1-415-691-1016 and download TA1303.ZIP. Be careful that you are downloading the latest drivers(at least 1.30 dated late 1995), since there are several old revisions on their BBS. These drivers may also be available elsewhere (your local BBS, Hobbes, etc). 16. I just installed a Trident 9440 card and Relish locks up my system. See #15
