NowAvailable


> Go to http://pacss.sgmservice.com/
>
> New In Version 3.2.04
>
> Please note the size of the install file has tripled (11 meg). This is
> because of the Help File and the inclusion of the AMA Rule Book. This 
> could
> make download times at dial-up speeds long.
>
> The installation executable is now created using a new software package,
> CreateInstall from Gentee Software. There is no longer an 'Install" and
> "Update" file. The install is "smart" enough to know whether in is 
> upgrading
> or performing a new install. NOTE: Because I can only test this in the
> environments I have, I don't know if this will have any problem. Please 
> let
> me know if you have any problems.
>
> Updated and (finally) complete "Help" file. Input and suggestions on
> improving this would be appreciated.
>
> The "System Configuration" function now has an option to use the current
> Windows default printer when printing all reports. This eliminates the
> printer select screen.
>
> The registration screen will now automatically be pre-filled based upon 
> the
> registrants AMA number. If there is a People record found this information
> will be used to populate the screen.
>
> Added a function on the Contest Tab that will display the entire 2007-2008
> AMA Rule Book. The document can then be searched, printed, etc. in a full
> blown PDF viewer
>
> A bunch (I lost count after 30) of miscellaneous fixes. Most of these were
> minor or cosmetic.
>
> A note to those who have version 3.1.3, the automatic "Update" function 
> got
> broke when I moved to the new web site. I didn't realize this until it was
> pointed out to me. You will have to go to the web site and download the 
> new
> version as usual
>
> Also, please be aware the I DO NOT have Windows Vista, therefore PACSS has
> not been tested in that environment, so use cautiously. If you are using
> Vista, please let me know if PASCC works or not.
