      Update Installation Instructions for Stories and More

Insert the update disk in drive A: and do one of the following:

      1) Network Installation:  Login to the server as SYSOP, ADMIN, or
         OFFICEADMN and escape to DOS.  At the DOS prompt, change
         drives to A:  and then type G and press enter.  This will
         begin the installation update.

         2) Installation to Fixed Disk or Floppy disk(for use with CD
         ROM devices):  Make sure that you are not attached or logged

         a blank formatted diskette in order to install to another
         floppy disk).

         The associated package is NOT a complete set of product
         diskettes.  It consists ONLY of the patches and therefore
         must be applied to an existing product in order to be used
         correctly.

         Product Name:  Stories and More Fix Version:  1.01


         Bug Fixes in Version 1.01:  ==========================
         Creatation of package.  All errors reported from users have
         been corrected.

         1.  Print Screen problems have been fixed.

         2.  A 14208 error that occurred when a user exited the
         product from Going Beyond in sequential mode, then went back
         in to the product, clicked on "OK", then pressed F4 or ESC
         during the speech.

         3.  The last student entry in the 'View User List Report'
         panel of Teacher Options is now visible.

         4.  Due to the improved program features listed below, it is
         now impossible to get a 14200 or 60000 error caused by
         updating and deleting students from both the ICLAS and
         Stories and More student lists.

         5.  If users pressed any keys (especially ESC) many times
         rapdily when exiting Stories and More, the system would hang.
         This has been fixed.

         6.  The bookmark setting for the last student with an ID less
         than five characters in length has been fixed.

         7.  Missing dragables in Morris the Moose have been fixed.

         8.  When users clicked on MENU from the Library Exit Menu, it
         took them to some strange place in the product.  The patch
         fixes this problem.

         9.  If a user pressed F4 (Menu) during speech in Going
         Beyond, the Menu banner would overlay the text window but the
         user was still able to type into the text box through the
         Menu banner.

         10.  If a user exited out of a Starting Off or Thinking About
         activity which included a text entry field and then reentered
         the product, a message says "Click on OK to continue where
         you left off or press F4 to go to the menu".  If the user
         pressed F4 a graphics driver error occured.  This has been
         fixed.  11.  Reporting of partner scoring information to
         ICLAS from Stories and More was not working is the student
         had a partner.  This has been corrected.

         12.  An error occured with the text cursor when users went
         into the Mouse Tutorial and ran the activity at least to the
         point where they enter their name.  If the student then
         presses F4 and goes to either Going Beyond or to one of the
         "typing" subactivities, the cursor is messed up.  This has
         been fixed.

         13.  In Going Beyond, a user could press and hold keys down
         and fill the entire buffer with no spaces.  This long string
         was to long for Smooth Talker (44 characters) to speak.  If
         the user clicked on read the program would crash.  The user
         can still type in text with no spaces.  The program checks if
         there are no spaces and adds a break when it reads and there
         are no spaces for 44 characters.

         14.  If a user repeated an activity multiple times using the
         selection at the end of activity screen and then pressed F4
         to go to the menu they would be taken to the beginning of the
         activity instead of the menus.  This has been fixed.

         15.  Additional errors that have not been reported by
         customers have been found and corrected by the development
         team during work on Stories and More Version 1.01.


         Improved Program Features:  ==========================

         1.  The time required to process student records when running
         as a teacher has been decreased to 1/3 of the former
         processing time.

         2.  The student list is automatically coordinated with the
         ICLAS student list when running on a network under ICLAS.
         Also, the 'Edit User List' menu selection is now disabled
         when running Teacher Options on a network.

         3.  Various DOS (operating system) and hardware resources are
         checked at program start-up to verify that enough of the
         particular resources are available.  The following areas are
         checked:

         Memory:  A memory check verifies that there is enough free
         memory for the largest activity in Touch Typing before the
         program allows the user to access activities.  If there is
         not enough memory, the user is informed by a warning banner.

         File Handles:  The maximum number of file handles
         simultaneously used by Touch Typing is verified at start-up.
         If there are not enough file handles, an error message is
         posted and the program is terminated.

         Video Mode Capability:  Video support is checked to insure
         that the graphics mode required by Touch Typing is available.
         If the video mode is not available, a suitable error message
         is posted, and the program is terminated.

         4.  Stories and More utilizes extended memory if it is
         available to enhance performance by storing all overlayed
         code in extended memory.  When an overlay occurs the code is
         accessed from memory instead of from disk or network.

         5.  Option information modified by Teacher Options is written
         to disk only when necessary.

         6.  Actions in Teacher Options that take a great deal of time
         to complete (writing to disk, etc.) now prevent the user from
         clicking the mouse until processing is complete.

         7.  The ubiquitous 60000 error is now divided into a range of
         errors from 13001-13090.  You should note that the last two
         digits correspond to the DOS extended error that can be found
         in DOS reference manuals.

         8.  A number of other commonly occurring errors (14200,
         14256, etc) now report a possible DOS error because many of
         these errors are caused at the DOS level.

         9.  Modifications have been made in the phrasing of error
         messages presented to the user in the event of a program
         error.  The new wording directs the user to consult Appendix
         A of the Stories and More Program's Guide.  The updated
         Appendix A gives users a series of steps to follow to correct
         the problem on their own.  The version 1.00 approach was to
         display a message to 'contact your IBM representative.'
         Version 1.01 instructs the user to contact their IBM
         representative after having tried the prescribed corrective
         actions.
