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.
