3.1.1 patch

Date: Sat, 3 Feb 1996 09:52:51 -0500 Reply-To: PRO-CITE The Personal Bibliographic Software Discussion List Sender: PRO-CITE The Personal Bibliographic Software Discussion List From: Jon Aske Subject: 3.1.1 patch I could not find the patch either that was announced to the list a couple of days ago. The file does not exist anywhere in that server. What's the scoop? On a different topic: Has anyone had to deal with special characters (such as letters with accents and umlauts) in PC3.x with Windows 95? They do not alphabetize properly. When I had this problem with WIndows 3.1, I was told to change the setting from "US English" to "International ENglish". But Win 95 does not seem to have international English as a choice, but rather Australian ENglish, British English, etc. By the way, congratulations to PBS. I'm quite satisfied with ProCite for Windows as of late. Also I like the idea of receiving updates and patches by ftp or the Web (just don't announce them before they're there).

I haven't explored much further to see if any other changes were made. I actually like the ftp-mode of software updating. It's easier and cheaper than waiting for a disk. I'm a bit worried about the virus problem. Be sure you scan the zip self-extracting exe file before you invoke it. I'm not saying that PBS didn't check their patch, but it's a good habit to get into as the ftp upgrade route becomes more popular. (PS. I did get an infected disk from a reputable statistical utility software company; so now I check everything.)

Doctor" at Feb 4, 96 11:37:51 am There is something funny about that address I guess. I finally got through using Netscape (ftp://ftp.pbsinc.com), whereas my Windows 95 Norton Navigator could not "see" the directories or files past the Windows subdirectory. But the patch is there, somehow. I obtained it and ran it and it works fine. Congratulations to PBS. There are still a few improvements that I wish they had incorporated into this version, but it is stable and it seems to do what it promises, so I'm quite happy. I feel I can recommend it to my friends now. Good luck. Jon Aske Ronald D. Doctor " " I also tried to get the patch from the ftp site. Couldn't get into the " "Windows ProCite 3.1" subdirectory.

While I was not able to penetrate the PBS directory structure using plain vanilla ftp, I WAS able to get through using Netscape. I've got the update, have installed it, and all is well. Thanks to you all. Ron Doctor

Our system cannot penetrate the PBS directory structure either > and we don't have Netscape. Maybe - try putting the directory in quotes like: cd "Windows ProCite 3.1" and make sure you include the spaces and utilize upper- and lower-case. This worked for me on our VAXen running VMS. I also recommend removing the spaces from filenames when FTPing them as some systems don't handle them too well at the local end. However, the best thing would be if the FTP site maintainer would place underscores in place of the spaces for directories and filenames - not a complaint, just a suggestion. May your attempt be successful. - g^2 = Greg Gibbs University of Alaska Anchorage 907 786-1080 voice LAN Technician Asst.
