THE FOLLOWING ARE SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS IN WHICH My-T-Soft DOES
NOT NEED SPECIAL SETTINGS BUT IN WHICH My-T-Soft REQUIRES
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
Note: Because of the general improvement by Microsoft & other Windows developers, this list has not been updated since the original releases. It remains here as an appropriate place if there are any specific applications that require additional notes when operating with My-T-Soft.
Dashboard for Windows
Publisher: Hewlett-Packard
Version: 2.0
Dashboard can cause some painting problems when My-T-Soft is
launched from a Layout due to the way Dashboard positions
opening windows. We suggest you set My-T-Soft to open as a
Normal Window, and position Dashboard away from the center of
the screen.
MS-DOS Window
Publisher: Microsoft
Version: Windows 3.0,3.1
My-T-Soft will not work with a Full Screen DOS application.
My-T-Soft will work with a DOS application in a DOS Window.
There are a few items that should be noted when using My-T-Soft
with a DOS Window. You may want to use a PIF file for operating
a DOS Application in a DOS Window.
Keystroke Macros MUST BE ENTERED IN LOWER CASE.
If the arrow or edit keys do not respond properly, turn the Num Lock off.
Paintbrush, Solitaire, Reversi
Publisher: Microsoft
Version: Windows 3.0,3.1
The edit keys are used by these applications to move the cursor.
Using the arrows, etc. on My-T-Soft will move the Cursor onto the
Application, moving the cursor off My-T-Soft, resulting in a very
short usefulness of My-T-Soft.
PC Tools for Windows
Publisher: Central Point
Version: 1.x, 2.0
When My-T-Soft is minimized to a button, the My-T-Soft button
display can obscure some of the PC Tools windows. Set
CaptionWatch=1 in the MYTSOFT.INI file to alleviate any
interference.
PIF Editor
Publisher: Microsoft
Version: Windows 3.0,3.1
If you have built an Application Short-Cut key with the PIF
Editor, it will not respond in all cases to the Short-Cut if
typed on My-T-Soft.
Recorder
Publisher: Microsoft
Version: Windows 3.0,3.1
When working with My-T-Soft & Recorder - make sure that
My-T-Soft does not obscure any window you will be working with
and you may NOT start a macro with a keyboard short-cut from
My-T-Soft.
Either start the macro from Recorder or try to remember where you
left your keyboard and use the keyboard short-cut.
Windows Tutorial - (WINTUTOR.EXE)
Publisher: Microsoft
Version: Windows 3.1
My-T-Soft hides behind the Windows Tutorial except in a few cases,
and these may be confusing to new users. New users should run the
tutorial without My-T-Soft, and learn the Windows Concepts before
using My-T-Soft.
Acrobat Reader (ACROREAD.EXE)
Publisher: Adobe
Version: All
When viewing documents as full screen, Acrobat will destroy the
Keyboard display on My-T-Soft. This is due to improper windows
application operation within Acrobat. Keep My-T-Soft minimized,
or do not use Acrobat in this fashion.
