Update Information for CATS 4.06 (TLC Scanner 3)

Please note that this version of the CATS software is not supported any more since the TLC Scanner 3 has been implemented into winCATS.

Version 4.06 eliminates the following problems:

• COM error of Windows 95: CATS 4.06 does no longer test all available COM ports for FIFO capability if running in a Windows 95 DOS box. Only the selected port (as set in the DATA-Configuration menu) is tested and therefore all other ports remain available for other Windows programs (like ATS3 or AMD2).
• If more than 2 COM ports are available it is now possible to use the TLC Scanner 3 with CATS 4.06 on one port (i.e. COM1:), two ATS3 (COM2: & COM3:) and one AMD2 (COM4:) on the same PC. Of course, this is possible only with a serial interface supporting interrupts up to IRQ15.

• Update and display of the current date: Previous CATS versions updated the date displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen only at program start. This date was not changed while the program was running. CATS 4.06 now performs a cyclic check for date and changes the screen information correctly without the need to restart. This feature has been implemented for all users that will run CATS during the night and thus need to be informed of the date change.
