I called a series of numbers to track down the rumoured WP upgrade, and
here is what I learned:
- Telephone numbers: JB no longer handles WP upgrades, you have to call
Orem for info. However, they have toll-free numbers valid in Canada:
the general WP number is 800-541-5096, but for the ST call 800-321-3271.
- They hope to have an upgrade in about a month. It will not be
distributed automatically, you have to request it! They don't keep a
request list, you have to keep checking with them.
- I asked about a bug I have run into, and they hadn't run into it --
have any of you? My date function doesn't work, it always generates a
date on Jan. 1 some year in the 21st century (which year I forget).
The guy I spoke for said it works for him. Perhaps it involves my
clock-setting software -- I use the clock that comes with the Supra
60-Meg hard drive, which seems to work fine for everything else.
Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? It would be a very
useful function if I could get it to work!
