----------------------------------------------------------- Principia Products Readme Notes for Remark Office OMR 6.0.2 Update March 2006 ----------------------------------------------------------- (C) 2006 Copyright Principia Products, a division of Gravic, Inc. Thank you for using Remark Office OMR 6. The Remark Office OMR 6.0.2 update adds some new enhancements and corrects a few minor problems since the original 6.0 release. To install the update, double click the Roo602up.exe file to launch the update and then follow the on-screen instructions. ------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATED MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS The minimum system requirements have been updated to the following. ** Please note that Windows 98 is no longer supported. This operating system is being phased out by Microsoft. For more information, go to www.microsoft.com. • Personal computer with a 1 GHz or faster processor • Microsoft Windows 2000, XP or Server 2003 • 512 MB RAM o Important Note: Analysis reports require memory to run. Lengthy or graphic-intensive reports may take longer to run; you may need additional memory to run these reports. • 250 MB free hard disk space to install software • 1 GB free hard disk space recommended to use software • Screen/monitor resolution of 1024x768 or higher and at least 16-bit color (32-bit color recommended) • Mouse • CD-ROM drive (for installation purposes) • Supported scanner (recommended) • Windows-supported printer (optional) ------------------------------------------------------------- The following enhancements were made: ------------------------------------------------------------- Q3039. NEW EXPORT OPTIONS Export optionw were added that allow the following: 1. Update an existing database (DBF, MDB, XLS) based on a unique record identifier. 2. Save and load configuration files (INI files). 3. One form can contain multiple records worth of data. 4. You can map fields from the form template to the database. ------------------------------------------------------------- The following fixes were made: ------------------------------------------------------------- Q2946. SUBSCRIPT OUT OF RANGE ERROR If the largest field on the template page was a hidden id field, a subscript out of range error would occur. ------------------------------------------------------------- Q2970. CONVERTING REMARK OFFICE OMR 5 TEMPLATES WITH IMAGE REGIONS When a form template is converted from Remark Office OMR version 5.5 to Remark Office OMR version 6.0, any image regions that were set to auto increment or default fill were not holingd the settings. ------------------------------------------------------------- Q2990. COPY/PASTE SPECIAL If multiple regions of a linked region were highlighted, and Copy Special was invoked, when Paste Special was used in the other form template, only one portion of the region was pasted. ------------------------------------------------------------- Q3008. USING REGION NAMES FOR STORED IMAGE NAMES (DURING SCANNING) Two issues were fixed: 1) If using data from multiple regions as image names, there was an issue which could cause subsequent regions to be skipped. 2) If the region data contained invalid characters for file names, the image was not saved to the new format or image name. For example, if a barcode is misrecognized it returns a ? which is an illegal character for a file name. Similarly if a grid OMR field contains multiple responses, an asterisk (*) is a common return value which is also illegal in file names. ------------------------------------------------------------- Q3018. DOUBLE BYTE CHARACTER SETS When inputting a filename on a system that uses a double byte character set (e.g., Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.), only the first character was displaying if the characters were outside of the ASCII character set (0-255). ------------------------------------------------------------- Q3021. MEMORY LEAK DURING SCANNING A memory leak was identified and corrected when scanning with a TWAIN scanner driver. ------------------------------------------------------------- Q3024. INCORRECT DECIMALS FOR GRAPHS ON GERMAN WINDOWS The graphs in the detailed item analysis reports and the item graph report displayed y-axis values with a misplaced decimal place due to a comma being used as the decimal separator rather than a period. ------------------------------------------------------------- Q3026. LINKED REGIONS AND DATABASE LOOKUP Database lookup used in conjunction with linked regions was not being performed when the images were read. ------------------------------------------------------------- Q3027. DATABASE LOOKUP INDEX OUT OF BOUNDS ERROR When clicking in a grid cell of a database lookup region associated with a grid, list, add, or binary region type, an index out of bounds error would occur. ------------------------------------------------------------- Q3038. MEMORY LEAK WHEN READING BARCODES Memory was consumed and never freed when reading barcode regions on blank images. ------------------------------------------------------------- If you discover what you think is a potential problem in the Remark Office OMR software please let us know.
