Many of you now have figured out that our web site is a great place to visit regularly. Whenever any one of you report a problem which we subsequently fix, we post a patch to that program on our web site that you can download to your computer and install in a matter of minutes. Here is the process of how that is done.
When you go to our site, www.dasi-software.com, there is a downloads button on the left column. By clicking on the downloads button, you will be presented with some choices. Depending on the application you have, you can click on the link that will take you to that area of our FTP to get any updates you might desire. There is one thing you must have before you will be allowed into our FTP site and that is a user name and a password. We change this periodically to prevent unauthorized access either by hackers or by end-users whose support contract is not current. If you do not know what the current user name and password is, call our help desk at (386) 462-3358 and if your support contract is current we will be glad to supply it. The download system has greatly improved our support capability. Instantaneous fixes are now a reality.
To determine if you need an update on any of our programs, the DASI 5.5 release has a patch reporting system built in to selection 99 from the IP menu. By getting a report of the programs currently in use by your system, you can compare the patch number of each program on your computer to the patch number currently on our FTP site to see if you need any updates. I would check at least once a month. We make patches every week. Once you have determined that you need a download, by clicking on any individual program, it will cause a dialog to appear on your monitor whether you want to open or save a program. Choose SAVE and select the folder in \DASIRUN called FTP. When each program is saved into that folder, the button on your DASI launcher labeled “INSTALL FTP UPDATE” will become activated. By clicking it, the launcher will install all of the updates you have downloaded. I think you will see how powerful this is once you have tried it.
Finally, if you have an issue that we need to know about and you want to email us at our support help desk, you can shoot off an email to dossupport@dasi-software.com if DOS related, or winsupport@dasi-software.com or you can go to our web site and send an email. Also, on the DASI launcher, there is a link to our email as well as links to other services. We encourage you to use them as often as you desire.
