RELEASE OF RV<strong>6.8</strong> <strong>TNT</strong> PRODUCTS<br />
You will no longer be able to download the smaller patches needed to correct a single<br />
application in RV<strong>6.8</strong>. To obtain a patch for a specific feature you will always need to<br />
download the larger, latest PV<strong>6.8</strong>.<br />
When you have patched RV<strong>6.8</strong> (replaced it with a PV<strong>6.8</strong>) the date of this total patch,<br />
and, thus, the identity of your current PV<strong>6.8</strong> will be clearly displayed. This “Date of<br />
Patch” of your PV<strong>6.8</strong> should always be provided to <strong>MicroImages</strong>’ software support to<br />
identify your PV<strong>6.8</strong> with every communication from you for any technical assistance request<br />
or error report. You will find this date on the Help/About <strong>TNT</strong>mips window and it<br />
will be changed by each new PV<strong>6.8</strong> you install.<br />
What<br />
is the Development Version (DV6.9)?<br />
<strong>MicroImages</strong> has many innovative and imaginative (and patient) clients who work<br />
closely with us to guide and test the development of the <strong>TNT</strong> products. If you are in this<br />
group, you already know that you have a direct role in the evolution of the <strong>TNT</strong> products.<br />
For meeting our short run goals you patiently work with the Development Version and<br />
provide both error identification and design feedback, especially when we are working<br />
on improvements in your particular area of interest in a <strong>TNT</strong> product. Sometimes your<br />
suggestions are easily and quickly incorporated in the Development Version. Sometimes<br />
implementing your request is complex even though it may not seem so to you. Or<br />
sometimes your need is very specialized and is judged to be of low interest to any other<br />
<strong>TNT</strong> client. In these cases, it goes on our big “new feature list” for consideration in the<br />
future or as part of the periodic redesign of the entire processes or its low-level core operations.<br />
Windows is very resistant to the installation of multiple copies of any software product.<br />
This is very important to keep you from mixing old and new components. Everyone has<br />
had the experience of concluding something was not operating properly in an earlier<br />
Windows application<br />
only to find, after much frustration, that a path led to the wrong ver-<br />
sion<br />
of a component. However, this Windows one-and-only-one-version policy has<br />
made it difficult to set up 2 versions of a previous <strong>TNT</strong> product. This is now simple as<br />
the DV6.9 of the <strong>TNT</strong> products has a new and totally different identity in so far as Windows<br />
is concerned. Thus, DV6.9 can by automatically installed and managed separately<br />
from RV<strong>6.8</strong> or its subsequent conversion to PV<strong>6.8</strong>, and Windows will treat each<br />
as a separate product.<br />
Note: Windows will let you install and patch DV6.9 whenever you choose as it is a separate product from<br />
your RV<strong>6.8</strong> or PV<strong>6.8</strong><br />
Using the Development Version (DV6.9).<br />
Working with DV6.9 of the <strong>TNT</strong> products is now more or less equivalent to your past<br />
experience with working with a patched version of V6.70. However, to work with DV6.9<br />
you will have to download it from microimages.com and install it. DV6.9 with alterations<br />
and corrections will be replaced weekly rather than the previous Tuesday/Thursday<br />
patch procedure.<br />
