Notator: Compatibility with other programs

10. Using Deskpic or NVDI 5 will cause the keys D, W and H to freeze Notator in note editor.jpg (89.05 KiB) Viewed 3116 times

I've recently discovered that the key commands "D" "W" and "H" cause Notator to freeze whilst in the note editor.

The overall program will work fine, but both Deskpic and NVDI 5 will cause this freeze.

I discovered this problem by accident whilst trying out a program called ClicksOff to possibly combat the stuck click bug.

Using Notator with EmuTOS will require an accelerator. Otherwise Notator will run slower than straight off the floppy disk (most noticeable with the drop down menus)

With an accelerator Notator will fly!

In fact Using EmuTOS with an accelerator makes the accelerator faster (unless you use WARP9 which currently has an issue with EmuTOS)

I tried NVDI 2.51 but got this:

This is how I fixed it:

06. Save and Reboot.jpg (23.56 KiB) Viewed 3116 times

Has to be rebooted for the change to be effective.

08. Make sure EmuTos is first and NVDI 2.51 is last.jpg (49.89 KiB) Viewed 3116 times

I kept getting 2 bombs at start up until I changed the order using AUTOSORT.

Installing NVDI 2.51 changed my fonts, making window navigation awkward.

I replaced NVDI 2.51 ASSIGN.SYS file with the NVDI 5 ASSIGN.SYS file and the fonts returned to their previous state.

I also deleted NVDICONF.ACC since I couldn't access the setting I needed from there anyway.

All is fine!

Here are the benchmarks of 3 different accelerators:

My machine is an Atari 520STFM with 4MB Marpet RAM upgrade and 6 ROM US TOS 1.04

I also use an UltraSatan with PP Hard Disk Driver.

EmuTOS 0.9.12 used.

Just a small suggestion, that you put the exact version number of EMUTOS you are using to prevent confusion further down the line.

True. Is it okay at the bottom of the page like that?

I'd put it next to the texts "WARP9 with EmuTos EmuTos 0.9.12" As you have TOS 104, so version number is there anyway.. probably been easier just to edit it myself

Okay, will do. I thought of it after I'd done it. My whole post became a mess and took some effort to get it tidy. Something went wrong when I was previewing and all the pictures jumbled up. Had to start over.

****UPDATE****

If I uncheck GDOS in the NVDI 2.51 configuration settings, SND Player works properly and Notator is still good!

Now Updated to EmuTOS 1.0 and everything is good.
