Overview: New Features in PC Access 4.10/4.20


(Contents)(Previous)(Next)

· TCP/IP Wide Area Network (WAN) support - allows you to connect to your MLS using ISDN, 56K DDS, Frame Relay, or T-1. These connect to your MLS at higher speeds and much more reliably than modems on POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines.

· A superior, less intrusive user authorization means less downtime. Your user authorization now tolerates backing up and restoring from removable media on a single computer. You can defragment your hard disk or move PC Access to a new directory on a single computer without needing to uninstall your user authorization first.

· A LAN version lets multiple users on different workstations share a single copy of PC Access. You can also share your Phone Book Setup and Agent Setup between multiple users.

· The Modem Setup window now lets you select any Port from COM1 to COM8.

· The Terminal window in Moore Compass and BORIS Maestro Emulation shows optional 3D button highlighting on most mouse-selectable host-specific features.

· Many Maestro browse lists display scrollbars.

· You can view and print vertical format (e.g. agent) photos under Maestro.

· A selectable Print Offset helps you line up mailing-label host reports with die-cut or sheet-fed label stock.

· An improved Tag List lets you delete multiple tags in one operation, send your selected tags, and automatically delete tags after sending.

· You can drag-select text on the Terminal window and copy it to the Windows Clipboard. You can paste text from the Clipboard to your online session.

· You can drag your mouse to select text on the Scroll Back window and copy it to the Clipboard.

· Powerful new script language commands: opendata, closedata, readdata, saveimage, set, store, and if/then.

· Script tracing lets you monitor a running script while debugging and testing.

· Maestro users can capture an online session to a text file for later editing.

· PC Access connects with the Flyer Accessory.

· Users with color postscript printers can now print photos in color.

· 24 bit True Color support: PC Access will display your photos with greater color depth if your video display adapter supports true color images.

· Need more lines per page? You can scale all your printed reports to a smaller text and photo size, letting you print more lines per page.

· Delayed dialing: You can set up a Phone Book entry to dial your MLS at night and automatically complete routine tasks for you (such as printing updates). See: Phone Book Select window, Login Script File, and Delayed Dial Time.

· Jump menus: the Terminal window now contains a menu item with the name of the current Emulation, if the Emulation is BORIS Maestro, BORIS Master, Moore Compass, or WPML. Selecting this jump menu item displays a menu of commands specific to your MLS. You or your MLS provider may also customize the jump menu completely.

· A Speed Button on the Terminal window can now open a Windows help file directly without needing to call an intermediate script file.
