Thank you for choosing the Revelar Connection Utility* (RCU) for the Macintosh and Newton systems. Here are version 2.5u release notes.


Things you should know aboutI
%"RCU 2.5" for the Mac still uses the "RCU2.3.pkg" for the Newton, since the .pkg application remains unchanged.

% If you intend to have RCU connected for an extended period of time, we recommend you plug your Newton device into an AC power adapter. If you do not, keep in mind that your Newton PDA will shut off at the sleep interval you set in preferences if there is no activity in RCU for that interval. Simply being connected does not keep your Newton awake.

% If you add a title to a Note after you have saved the Note to your Newton and the Note text is very large, you may see the Note overlap other Notes on the Newton. To fix this, load the Note in RCU (make sure the text of the note is showing, not the title or the date), and press the enter key and then save the Note back to the Newton.

% You must have the Apple Modem Tool installed in your System Folder (Extensions folder) and you should turn AppleTalk off if you are trying to connect through the printer port.

% Occasionally, you may have trouble using a "template" on import within the Names application.

			% You do not have the Apple Modem Tool installed. This can be done without quitting RCU or restarting your Mac.
			% Or you have AppleTalk turned on on that port. Go in and turn it off in the Chooser.
			% Or you have a modem or some other serial device tying up the port. If you have an internal fax/modem, go into your control panels and turn it off or set it to "External."

"When I select Delete Field menu item, I get 'Unable to delete field.'"
			% You probably have not selected a field to delete, but it is possible that you have a bad field.

"How come when I do a Find, I can't see an entry I know is there?"
			% You probably have your found set restricted by a folder and/or by the range.

"Sometimes I get a crash with the message "unimplemented trap" on my large monitor or displaying millions of colors." 
			% To keep memory requirements low, you should run in thousands of colors, or 256 if on a monitor 20"+.
