2. Release Notes
================


BEFORE INSTALLATION OF SELECT WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU MAKE
A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT !Boot

Next you must open the Toolbox directory and double-click the TBox/ff8 file
to install the new Toolbox modules.

Before Installation run *Checkmap or DiscKnight to ensure that
the hard drive is free from any errors.


2.1 Installation
----------------

All the archives on this CD are zip archives which require
you to either have a copy of SparkFS or Spark or Sparkplug.

A self extracting version of Sparkplug is included in the
Resources directory if you have none of the above.

Please check you have the latest version of the above
decompressors as some earlier versions will give errors
whilst decompressing the Data files used by the Installer. 

There are three possible Installation routines.

1. To install RISC OS Select onto a clean Hard Drive
2. To upgrade from RISC OS 4.0x/4.2x/4.3x
3. To upgrade from an existing Select Installation to 4.37

N.B. RISC OS 4.37 (6.52) refers to the Kernel Version number only.
The Boot Sequence and other Applications will change at different
rates. i.e There may be changes to the Boot sequence to cope with
new features that do not demand a new Kernel number.

Look at the !Boot.PartNumber file to determine which Boot
sequence you have installed. Please make sure that you always
have the latest Boot installed.

Usage of RISC OS Select requires that you already have a set
of RISC OS 4 ROMs in your computer. If you do not have RISC OS 4
then you will need to purchase a set of ROMs before you can use
RISC OS Select. 

It is advisable to printout the following section if you have
any concerns over the installation of RISC OS Select.

2.1.1 Installing RISC OS Select onto a clean Hard Drive.
--------------------------------------------------------

If you want to install a nice new big drive into your computer
then the recommended procedure is as follows:-

a.  Remove the CD ROM drive from your computer and install
    the new hard drive in its place. Make sure the new hard drive
    is configured as the slave drive using the links on the back
    of the drive.

b.  Format the new drive :5 with !HForm.

c.  Copy the contents of your original hard drive onto the new
    drive.

d. Shut down the computer.

e. Remove the old drive from the computer and replace it with
   the new drive (after changing its links so that it is now the
   Master Drive.)

Now proceed with the Installation instructions for
section 2.1.2 or 2.1.3 as appropriate.

Alternatively you can take your machine to a RISC OS Dealer
or an Authorised Installer who will be happy to perform
the job for you at their usual rates.

2.1.2 Upgrading from RISC OS 4.0x for the first time.
--------------------------------------------------------------

This should be straightforward if you have a standard machine
configuration. i.e 1 x ADFS hard drive and 1 x CDROM drive.

In order to accomodate an easy return to running RISC OS 4.0x
the contents of your existing !Boot directory are moved inside
the new Select !Boot structure and will appear in the OldBoot
directory. If you still have any InactivRes directories leftover
from previous RISC OS 4 installations then you can probably now
safely delete them.

The Installer will only install the new !Boot structure.

The other hard disc based components such as !ChangeFSI etc
will have to be manually installed from the HardDisc3i2/zip
archive. The final location of these applications on your hard
drive is not important, but we suggest you install them into the
same directories as they are in the archive file.
Remember that unlike Windows you can happily move applications
around on your hard drive without limitation!

   a. First take a copy of your existing !Boot sequence either
      onto CD or onto a backup directory on your hard drive.
      If anything fails during installation you will then have a
      backup copy. The Installer does NOT delete your old !Boot
      directory, but simply moves it inside the new !Boot into
      the OldBoot directory.

   b. Run !InsSelect

   c. You will be asked to ensure that you have quit all
      applications. You should either quit all the applications
      and press Continue, or select the 'Quit tasks' option for
      applications to be quit automatically.
      If any application had unsaved data it will ask you to
      save that data before being quit. The installer will
      identify this and warn you of this fact. You should save
      the data and re-run the Installer.

   d. Read the licence presented to you. When you have read and
      agreed to the terms, press the Accept button. If you do
      not agree to the terms you should remove any parts of the
      software you have already copied and return the CD and
      packaging to your supplier.

   e. The installer will pause for a moment to check that the
      archives it is about to install have not become corrupt or
      been tampered with, and then ask where to install Select.
      This will default to any previous installation which has
      been seen. You may drag the Boot icon to a location to
      install the Select boot sequence, or drag a previous
      installation to the window to use it. Once the
      location has been set, press 'Continue'

   f. The various phases of the installation will be performed.
      Where no previous boot sequence is being updated this will
      be just a copy of the new boot sequence. For an update,
      this will involve merging parts of your old boot sequence.
      You should confirm each stage of this update.

   g. When complete, the installer will ask for a ROM image to
      use. You should drag a ROM image or ROM image archive to
      the window to install it as the initial ROM to use. If you
      do not wish to install a ROM, you may just press Skip and
      the installation will default to 'No softload'.

   h. The installation is complete. Press 'Exit', shutdown and
      reboot the machine.

   i. Once the machine has booted into Select, the Task Manager
      icon will have changed to a green 'cog', rather than the
      more familiar '4 Cube'.
      If the icon is still the '4 Cube' you are using the 'No
      softload' variant of Select. This has reduced
      functionality. Use the configuration tool to select a
      Softload image. Select has a significantly different
      configuration application suite.
      You should look through it confirming the options you wish
      to use.
      Use the Help tool for more information on the options it
      provides.

2.1.3 Upgrading from an existing RISC OS Select Installation.
-------------------------------------------------------------

This is potentially the trickiest option if you try to
perform the upgrade manually. We thus recommend that you
only use the Installer.

   a. First take a copy of your existing !Boot sequence either
      onto CD or onto a backup directory on your hard drive.

   b. Run !InsSelect

   c. You will be asked to ensure that you have quit all
      applications. You should either quit all the applications
      and press Continue, or select the 'Quit tasks' option for
      applications to be quit automatically.
      If any application had unsaved data it will ask you to
      save that data before being quit. The installer will
      identify this and warn you of this fact. You should save
      the data and re-run the Installer.

   d. Read the licence presented to you. When you have read and
      agreed to the terms, press the Accept button. If you do
      not agree to the terms you should remove any parts of the
      software you have already copied and return the CD and
      packaging to your supplier.

   e. The installer will pause for a moment to check that the
      archives it is about to install have not become corrupt or
      been tampered with, and then ask where to install Select.
      This will default to any previous installation which has
      been seen. You may drag the Boot icon to a location to
      install the Select boot sequence, or drag a previous
      installation to the window to use it. Once the
      location has been set, press 'Continue'

   f. The various phases of the installation will be performed.
      Where no previous boot sequence is being updated this will
      be just a copy of the new boot sequence. For an update,
      this will involve merging parts of your old boot sequence.
      You should confirm each stage of this update.

   g. When complete, the installer will ask for a ROM image to
      use. You should drag a ROM image or ROM image archive to
      the window to install it as the initial ROM to use. If you
      do not wish to install a ROM, you may just press Skip and
      the installation will default to 'No softload'.

   h. The installation is complete. Press 'Exit', shutdown and
      reboot the machine.

   i. Once the machine has booted into Select, the Task Manager
      icon will have changed to a green 'cog', rather than the
      more familiar '4 Cube'.
      If the icon is still the '4 Cube' you are using the 'No
      softload' variant of Select. This has reduced
      functionality. Use the configuration tool to select a
      Softload image. Select has a significantly different
      configuration application suite.
      You should look through it confirming the options you wish
      to use.
      Use the Help tool for more information on the options it
      provides. 

2.2 RISC OS 4.02 <-> Select switching via the Softloader
--------------------------------------------------------

The new softloader mechanism within RISC OS Select allows
for three different setups to be used on a machine.

1. No softload
   .. uses the new RISC OS Select Boot sequence
   but with the RISC OS 4.02/4.03 ROM image.
   Some of the configuration plugin options are not
   available in this mode.

2. Original boot sequence
   Reverts the machine to using the original ROM image and the
   original Boot sequence.

3. New RISC OS Select ROMimage and Boot sequence.

Please note that due to differences in CMOS settings between
different ROM kernel versions it is advisable to perform a
Delete Power on when first installing a new ROM image.

If reverting from a RISC OS Select Boot and ROMimage to
a 4.02 version then it is advisable to Power down between
Reboots.

2.3 Unplugged modules
---------------------

If you are running a machine which requires Modules to be
unplugged then you should make a note of any modules which are
unplugged using the command *unplug before upgrading to Select,
or before installing new ROMimages. After upgrading to RISC OS
Select for the first time, or after installing a new ROM image
you should check to ensure that the correct modules are still
unplugged.
This is because of differing numbers of modules and their
position in a RISC OS kernel leading to the incorrect module
becoming unplugged when a new ROM is installed. Generally you
can use the command *RMReinit <module> to restore it. Some
modules can however only be restored by performing a Delete
power on.

2.4 32 bit Shared C Library
---------------------------

This version of RISC OS Select allows the softloading of
the Castle 32 bit compatible Shared C Libraries.
We don't recommend that you install the Castle SharedClibrary
unless you have an application that specifically requires it.

2.5 Viewfinder graphics cards
-----------------------------

If you are using a Viewfinder graphics card then you should
ensure that your RISC OS monitor type is explicitly configured.
i.e this will usually be *Configure MonitorType 4
If the Monitortype is configured to Auto then the Viewfinder
will not display anything until the desktop stage is reached
or possibly not at all.

However please note the Bug report in Section 6.7 


3. Preview components
=====================


3.2 Omniclient with Appletalk support
-------------------------------------

This is the standard !Omniclient 2 release which has been
updated to include the Appletalk client.
Configuration of Omniclient is performed by the Omniclient
configuration plugin inside the Internet section of the
!Boot plugin tools.

3.3 Bugz 1.15
-------------

Bugz is a tool for reporting faults. It can be used to report
faults in RISC OS Select, or developers may use it to provide
feedback for their own applications from users.


4. Changes with RISC OS Select 3
================================





5. Use of RISC OS Select with RiscStation and Mico computers
============================================================

This version of RISC OS Select should work correctly with 
both RiscStation and MicroDigital Mico computers. 


6. Known issues with Select 3 Issue 2 
=====================================

6.1 CDFS
--------

The very varying standards to which different CD manufacturers
adhere, are making it very hard to support every different
CD ROM drive which is officially classed as an ATAPI CD ROM
drive.

Older versions of CDFS supported drives then currently available
but did not offer the newer features which we have incorporated
into RISC OS Select.

We cannot unfortunately guarantee that the new drivers will
work with all types of older drives.

We have successfully tested the version of CDFS built into this
release of Select with a variety of current drives up to 52x,
including a number of DVD-ROM drives.

There is unfortunately a problem with reading multi-session
PhotoCDs which we have been unable to resolve. Single session
PhotoCDs work OK.

If you find problems with the Select CDFS then you can revert to
the old RISC OS 3.7 CDFS by using the !OldCDFS application
which is located in the Resources Directory on this CD.
Once this program is run and the machine rebooted a softload
version of CDFS v2.29 will be loaded which will give access to
types that give problems under the Select CDFS.

If you want to return to using the Select CDFS then you will have
to reconfigure the number of CD-ROM drives in order to
re-activate CDFS.

6.2 DHCP
--------

The DHCP implementation has been tested with Debian Linux based
PC servers, DHCP servers built in to Web Ramp ISDN routers,
Pocket Printer Servers and the University of Birmingham servers
as well as many others.
It does work with the UK NTLWorld Cable Modem service. 
Initial Registration of the Cable Modem usually has to be
done using a PC, but if the DHCP lease is allowed to expire by 
leaving the Cable Modem disconnected for about 8 hours, then 
if a Risc PC is powered up connected to the Cable Modem then
its MAC address will be registered for the DHCP Lease.
If you have multiple machines connected to an NTL Cable
Modem service, then we suggest you either acquire a Cable
Modem Router or else use Internet Connection Sharing.  

See the dhcp/txt file in the Documents.TechNotes directory for
further details of the dhcp implementation.

6.3 PC Cards
------------

We have tested RISC OS Select with !PCPro 3.03 and a 586 card.
It works OK as long as you have sufficient memory installed.

There is a problem with the !PCConfig program failing to
run. We understand that Aleph1 are working on an updated version.

6.3.1 Error Unable to allocate PC RAM occurs
--------------------------------------------

If you have just upgraded to RISC OS Select from RISC OS 4.0x
you will now have 6MB less RAM available, because of the
RAM taken by the Select Softloaded ROM image. If this
message now occurs you will have to either reduce the amount
of RAM used by the PC Card, or else add extra RAM to your
machine.

6.3.2 Error No Boot Device! etc
-------------------------------

If you have an AMD 586 PC card from CJE then you will get the
error 'No boot device' if you have an out of date copy of
PCSleep in your PreDesk directory.
To fix the problem
* Remove any copy/directory called PCSleep from PreDesk.
* Shutdown and then TURN THE POWER OFF ( a reset is not
  sufficient!)
* Restart
* Install latest PC Sleep which is available from
http://www.cjemicros.co.uk/micros/resources/PCCard.zip
23K Zip file

6.4 DrawWorks 3rd Millennium
----------------------------

Some DrawWorks programs report an error relating to !Draw.
This is because !Draw is now a hard disc based component
rather than a ROM based application.
Please check the APDL Web Site for updates.

6.5 A7000+ with specific memory combinations
--------------------------------------------

It has been reported that some specific combinations of memory,
fitted to A7000+ will fail to load the Select Softload and will
fail with a green screen. The problem is likely to be due to
the hardware on the A7000+ incorrectly reporting the memory
layout and the softloader then being unable to allocate the
required memory for the ROM image.
We are still investigating this matter as we have been unable
to reproduce the condition on our test machines.

6.6 Kinetic cards with large amounts of motherboard RAM
-------------------------------------------------------

Whilst the normal RISC OS 4 ROM kernel will detect the presence
of large amounts of memory, attempts to load the Select Softload
kernel will fail with a green screen. We are still investigating
this matter.

6.7 ViewFinder installation notes
---------------------------------

Affected components:
  Certain ViewFinder cards in conjunction with Select 3 ROM images.
Note:
  Boot sequence installation is NOT affected by this issue.
  (Select 3 boot sequence may be installed on all systems without
  issue)

Summary
-------
Certain versions of the ViewFinder podule fail to display a video
output from the Viewfinder card when using the ROM image supplied
with RISC OS Select 3.
                                 
Recovery procedure
------------------
If your machine exhibits this fault, the recovery procedure is as
follows :

  1. Turn machine off.
  2. Wait a few seconds to ensure that all hardware has powered
     down.
  3. Turn machine on.
  4. Hold down the 'Z' key until the desktop appears.
     This prevents a softload taking place and will leave the
     system in 'No softload' mode. From here it is possible to use
     the machine as normal.
  5. Issue the following commands from the command line (press F12).

     *Co. Mon. 4
     *Co. Sync 0

This will force the monitor to use the SVGA type rather than the
Auto settings which are the default for RISC OS Select.
If the CMOS settings are reset then these commands will need to be
re-issued.
                                 
A new version of the ViewFinder firmware (1.53) is now available 
from Windfall Engineering Web Site http://www.windfall.nl/ 
which when used in  conjunction with the Select 3i2 ROM image
appears to function correctly with both 8 MB and 32 MB ViewFinder.

We advise that you upgrade to this latest version.


6.9 Installation fails with Castle Storm SCSI card installed.
-------------------------------------------------------------
It has been reported that the upgrader fails when upgrading
from RISC OS 4.0x to Select if a Castle Storm SCSI card is fitted.
We have not been able to replicate this, but we advise that 
if the upgrader fails when a Castle Storm SCSI card is installed
that the card be temporarily removed whilst the Select Upgrade
is performed. Once RISC OS Select is running then the SCSI card
can be re-installed.

6.10 Impression
---------------
Impression uses Dynamic areas for handling large files >28MB

With machines now regularly having more than 64MB installed
the calculation that Impression uses to decide if the machine
has enough memory to activate Dynamic Areas gets it wrong
under certain circumstances.

We are not sure what the exact circumstances are but we have
tested on Kinetic machines with 128MB + 4MB + 2MB VRAM
and run !Impression as the first item run at startup
and Dynamic areas are successfully created as shown by the
presence of an entry Publisher Plus data Dynamic Area.

6.11 Failure of certain applications when 64MB SIMMs are fitted
---------------------------------------------------------------
Similar to the above problem it appears that some applications
fail if they are allowed to grab Dynamic Areas greater than 64MB.

A patch (DA-Patch) has been produced which may help in this situation
