Subject: Tech Stuff - April 97 Version
I downloaded the April 97 Version of Digital Tradition today. I got it running, but had to do a little tweaking. The first time I ran the program in a Windows 95 DOS window, I got an "Out of Scan Range" message on my screen, and my computer locked up. Then I went out of Windows 95 and ran folksong.bat, and I got a white screen with some writing on it. I went into folksong.bat and edited out the command that was supposed to run the cute little gif picture, and the the program was running like it had before.

One more problem, one that I also had with the October version. Since I installed a Hewlett-Packard Office Jet fax-printer, I get a warning message every time I run Digital Tradition. the message says that two programs, Folksong and Windows, are both trying to use the printer, and I have to choose one or the other to use the printer. If I choose Windows, things go on merrily and I can run Digitrad. How can I set things so I won't get this message every time, so Windows will automatically be chosen to run the printer?

Anybody else out there running digitrad in Windows 95? All tweaking suggestions would be appreciated.

Generally, the program runs pretty darn well in Windows 95. I dragged the folksong.bat file onto my "Start button," and all I have to do is hit "start" and "F" (for folksong), and the program runs.
