ELSA and GRADD drivers revisited

According to information by ELSA the driver problem is probably with the GRADD interface rather than with the part of the driver made by ELSA. The display problems may therefore also occur with non-ELSA GRADD drivers. If you encounter such problems, please send a message.

Settings not saved when shutting down

FleetStreet usually saves its settings even when not normally closed but when the system is shut down while FleetStreet is running. This doesn't seem to be the case when using the WarpCenter to shutdown the system. Using the shutdown function in the desktop's context menu works, so I recommend using that.

Year-2000 issues

While current versions of FleetStreet are year-2000 compliant, you will run into problems if you still use the Squish tosser. The current version 1.11 writes corrupted message timestamps for messages created after the year 2000. Note that this is not a problem of the Squish message base format but only of the Squish tosser program! Other tossers like Fastecho don't have this problem. So keep begging to Scott Dudley for fixes...

ELSA GRADD video drivers

Obviously the current ELSA GRADD video drivers are so buggy that even the FleetStreet install program may not run. On some systems, FleetStreet can be installed, but later you will run into problems. Since this is definately a driver problem, I can't fix it myself. I can only recommend to stay up-to-date with ELSA drivers and hope that they will soon deliver stable drivers.
