0896 » Have you tried the new Desktop Tips? 07-Dec-98
Our new Desktop Tips Engine is fast, and fully functional, up to 7 times faster than the previous engine.
New functionality includes:
0. Private tips - undocumented elsewhere - are available in the Subscribers folder.
1. In addition to page printing, you can print a page and all pages it links to. You could print the TIP0800 index and tips 0800 - 0896 with a single command.
2. You can print a page and a list of linked pages.
3. You can COPY text to the clipboard.
4. You can easily alter font size.
5. You can perform a full site search on Titles or All Text.
6. You can refine the search by applying new criteria to the list of tips selected by a prior search.
7. You can save the results of a search to a file and reload these hyper links, even in a new session.
8. The engine maintains session history, so you can easily go to any tip you previously visitied.
9. New functionality will be added as it becomes available.
You can download the jsittarh.cab evaluation, but only tips 0000 - 0099
are accessable without a license.
