The names of the download files still refer to the older version 1.4, a bit
confusing.

I am sorry about that. I have just fixed that in the last few minutes,
but I see that www.qsl.net is completely down for some reason. When it
next comes up, you should see that the file and the link to it have
been corrected. Actually, the filename was all that was wrong, because
I was too lazy to bring everything in sync.

A note for anyone downloading this program (and thanks, by the way)-
At least on my computer, this program auto launchs when you (re-)boot
the machine- the shortcut was installed in the windows start menu.
To prevent this, simply delete the shortcut, or pull to desktop - then
can launch when you want it- without haveing it run every time you
reboot your computer-- Jim NN7K

Dear Jim,

That's the first I've heard of anything like that! It certainly
doesn't do that on any of my systems here. What is your operating
system, please!

Also, if anyone else experiences that, please let me know.

Tnx,

Honestly, Cecil, I don't remember DOS 1.4 - don't even know if such an
animal ever got out in the wild, but I DO REMEMBER DOS 2.0 - quite
well. As I remember it, the big improvement in DOS 3.0 was that you
could have directories OTHER than the root.

Bob- this on 1200 MHz celeron- with windows "XP", service pack 2, and all upgrades.
Made by E-systems, and has some quirkies- notably, when running some DOS based
software (like ARRL's "Microsmith", it generates graphic trash in the results
column), but this was not something I have seen before.


Internet browser is Mozilla 1.7.3, and this was NOT downloaded from QSL.Net-
got the copy from the gentleman that placed on his webpage, as was like mollassas
downloading off of qsl.net . Also, it is 1.4.0, NOT version 1.5.3 (dont know if that
had provision to place the shortcut into the start menu). But, after downloading,
and then rebooting, was surprised to see it running. Turned out this was solution.

OK, Jim, I am going to try to check all that out on an XP system,
although I have only XP Pro, so I can't check out XP Home. Will get
back to you if I can find anything to explain it. Tnx for the info.

Dear Jim,

I have completed a test installation of the ver 1.4 on a Windows XP
system, and I think I can explain what must have happended during your
installation. There comes a point in the installation where the
installer presents a list of different Start-Programs folders for you
to choose from. By default it shows SmartSmith as the selected folder.
However, directly below that is the folder "Start Up". I have to
assume that you inadvertantly selected the "Start Up" folder instead
of leaving it at the default.

Bob- that entirely possible-- and b.t.w., downloaded the 1.5.3- and
after deleteing the older version- installed it- no problems. One
other thing- when installing both versions (should have written
them down), there were 3 files, notifying me that my computer had
LATER versions of , already on this system! Tho, don't know if from
windows updates, or from other programs already on this computer.
Kept the newer ones, and seems to run fine (your 1.5.3). Again, thanks.
