Subject:  KeySoft 4.02 Release Notes

The following announcement provides detailed Release Notes for 
KeySoft 4.02 Build 1992, which is released as a self-contained 
Service Release to KeySoft 4.01.

While this is a standalone document, readers may wish to refer to the 
prior announcement, entitled 'KeySoft 4.02 Overview', which provided 
an executive summary of the Service Release.  This announcement 
explains in more detail who should consider installing the upgrade, 
where to download it from, and how to install it on your machine.

We apologize for the length of this post, but experience with 
previous upgrade releases has shown that Clients prefer to be given 
"more" rather than "less" information.

We recommend that you save this email in a safe place, until you are 
sure that you have no need to refer to it again.

KeySoft 5.0 Users reading this document should note that the 26 
enhancements detailed below already form part of the KeySoft 5.0 
software release.

1. Who Should Consider Upgrading to KeySoft 4.02?

The KeySoft 4.02 Service Release is intended for installation in any 
English base language BrailleNote or VoiceNote product that hasn't 
already been upgraded to KeySoft 5.0 or later versions, upon their 
release.

KeySoft 4.02 Build 1992 represents the current build of the non-
chargeable KeySoft release, and only KeySoft 5.0 includes additional 
features.  Over the three and a half years since the launch of the 
BrailleNote family of products, there have been numerous improvements 
to the KeySoft program, and for this reason we would encourage all 
legacy users to upgrade.

In summary, the following clients should consider upgrading to 
KeySoft 4.02, Build 1992:

A.  Clients using BrailleNote's or VoiceNote's with the Classic 
motherboard.  These units don't have the additional Compact Flash 
card slot located on the back panel of the machine.

When KeySoft 4.02 is installed, the "Internet" option will be visible 
on the Main Menu, but will not be accessible.

B.  Clients using the BrailleNote's or VoiceNote's with the Second 
Edition motherboard, who have not upgraded to KeySoft 5.0.  These 
units have an additional Compact Flash card slot located on the back 
panel of the machine, located between the serial and parallel port 
connectors.

The "Internet" option will be visible and active on these units.


2. Who Should NOT Upgrade to KeySoft 4.02?

A.  Clients with KeySoft 5.0 installed on their machines.

This is because KeySoft 5.0 uses the Duxbury Braille translator, and 
this installs a number of files that will conflict with translation 
system used in KeySoft 4.02 and prior versions of Keysoft.

B.  Clients running full French and German ROM versions of KeySoft.

In addition to the English base language models of the BrailleNote 
BT, Pulse Data International also produces French and German base 
language models of the BrailleNote BT.

KeySoft 4.02 should not be installed on those machines.


3. List of Enhancements.

KeySoft 4.02 Build 1992 incorporates 26 enhancements that were not 
provided in the previous KeySoft 4.01 Build 1988.  A list of the 
enhancements and their associated description follows:

3.1.  Mobile phone infrared communication support added.  [New to 
KS4.02]  An option "Hayes Compatible on Infrared" has been added in 
the modem list of the Directory of Services.  This allows mobile 
phones equipped with Infrared data communication to be used as a 
modem via the BrailleNote's Infrared port.

3.2.  Change Braille Grade option added.  [New to KS4.02]  A language 
and Braille grade change item has been added to the Block Commands 
menu.  This is useful if you need to change the Braille grade of a 
section of text.  For example you may have switched to computer 
Braille during the preparation of a grade 2 document in order to 
enter an e-mail address, and subsequently forgotten to switch back to 
grade 2.  Hence even though you entered the subsequent text as grade 
2 Braille the BrailleNote interprets the text as computer Braille.  
Using the change grade option you would mark the section of text that 
you wanted to be interpreted as grade 2, and then apply a grade 2 
setting to the marked text.

3.3.  Cursor position now updated in continuous read.  [New to 
KS4.02]  When performing a continuous read (Space with G, or Read 
with G) the cursor will now stop at the last word spoken if any key 
or thumb key is pressed.  This is significant when reading large 
documents with speech as it means that if any key or thumb key is 
inadvertently pressed your current cursor position in the document is 
retained.

3.4.  Spell Check correctly replaces capitalised words.  [New to 
KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.01 when a document is spell checked, and the 
misspelled word is capitalized, after selecting the replacement word 
from the suggestions list the replacement word in the document was no 
longer capitalized.  Handling of capitalised words is included in 
KeySoft 4.02.

3.5.  Spell Check now handles words separated by a slash.  [New to 
KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.01 words separated by a slash, such as hot/cold 
were reported as spelling errors.  This has been included in KeySoft 
4.02.

3.6.  KeyWeb download path now definable.  [New to KS4.02]  You can 
now define the download path when downloading files using KeyWeb.  In 
KeySoft 4.01 the download path was permanently set to "\Flash 
Disk\Downloads".  In KeySoft 4.02 build 1992 you are prompted with 
"Download file into which folder?" and "Download filename?".

3.7.  Palm Infrared Visual Display support added.  [New to KS4.02]  
In KeySoft 4.01 and earlier versions of  KeySoft infrared 
communication with Palm PDA's being used as Visual Displays was not 
"user friendly".  Improvements have been made to the communication 
protocol to automatically retry for connection following signal loss 
and provide audible indication when this has been achieved.  Infrared 
connection now occurs as a background task, and hence doesn't 
interfere with the operation of KeySoft. The updating of the visual 
display following deletion of text within the displayed document has 
been improved.

3.8.  Improved ActiveSync Serial Communication Stability.  [New to 
KS4.02]  The default serial has now been reduced to 57,600 baud as 
some PC's have difficulty communicating reliably at 115K baud, which 
was the previous default.  The reduced speed improves stability 
during the transfer of large files.  It is also recommended that 
User's update ActiveSync on their PC to version 3.7.1.  You may also 
choose one of three serial speed options by going to the 
Miscellaneous option in the Utilities Menu.  At the prompt 
"ActiveSync Connection?", press Help to obtain a list of the options.

3.9.  Braille display of time improved.  [Improvement to KS4.02]  In 
KeySoft 4.01 and earlier versions the time display on the Braille 
display would occasionally skip a second.  The update frequency of 
the Braille display has been increased to ensure that the display 
tracks correctly.

3.10.  Touch Cursor Position now retained on exiting file.  
[Improvement to KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.0 the cursor position was not 
retained on exiting a file after pressing a Touch Cursor to relocate 
the cursor prior to exiting the file.  This has been included in 
KeySoft 4.02.

3.11.  Options Menu and Information Mode can now be entered from Main 
Menu.  [Improvement to KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.0 pressing Enter on 
these items in the Main Menu relating to obtaining Information and 
entering the Options Menu caused an error beep.  In KeySoft 4.02 
pressing Enter on either of these items will take you to that 
function as it does for other items in the Main Menu.

3.12.  Change to prompt order on exiting KeyMail.  [Improvement to 
KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.0 if you exited with items in the Trash folder 
and email to be sent you were first prompted if you wanted to empty 
the Trash.  Because this operation can take a significant amount of 
time if there are a large number of items in the Trash, this delayed 
the point at which you received the option to send your email.  In 
KeySoft 4.02 the order of the exit prompts has been reversed, 
offering the option to send email first. This allows the "quick" 
sending of unsent messages without having to wait for Trash 
operations to complete.

3.13.  AC Adapter On/Off Message functions in Braille Terminal mode.  
[Improvement to KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.01 when the BrailleNote is set 
to work as a Braille Terminal, the standard AC Adapter On/Off 
messages are not spoken or displayed when the Adapter is plugged in 
and out.  If the adapter was inadvertently removed while in "Terminal 
for Screen Reader" mode it could have meant that the battery was 
flattened unbeknown to the User.  In KeySoft 4.02 the AC Adapter 
On/Off messages are displayed in "Terminal for Screen Reader" mode.

3.14.  Braille prompts added in KeyMail.  [Improvement to KS4.02]  In 
KeySoft 4.0 a number of prompts were voiced but not displayed on the 
Braille display. For example, "message exceeded maximum size", and 
"do you want to stay connected?".  These have been included in 
KeySoft 4.02.

3.15.  Braille prompts added in KeyWeb.  [Improvement to KS4.02]  In 
KeySoft 4.0 you could not navigate properly from input control to 
input control; ie, You jump to the first one after changing 
navigation type with Space +T followed by I, but then you got stuck 
at that point.  This has been improved in KeySoft 4.02.

3.16.  Rectification of spasmodic file corruption on saving file.  
[Fixed in KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.0, and usually when working with 
large files, User's occasionally experienced partial or full data 
loss on exiting the working file.  This was often accompanied by 
messages such as "parameter is incorrect".  KeySoft 5.0 provided 
improved management of memory resources when handling large files, 
and our field experience with KeySoft 5.0 indicates that the 
reliability of data saving has been significantly improved.  KeySoft 
4.02 incorporates the same improvements as have been implemented in 
KeySoft 5.0.

3.17.  Rectification of errors following block operations with Word 
documents.  [Fixed in KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.01 and earlier versions 
file errors could occur following copy, paste, store and insert 
operations dependent on the content of the documents being worked on.  
This has been fixed in KeySoft 4.02.

3.18.  Pronunciation Dictionary now handles hyphenated words.  [Fixed 
in KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.0 typing a miss-spelt word that contained a 
hyphen could cause the BrailleNote to report "Error in Pronunciation 
Dictionary" next time the BrailleNote was reset.  This rendered the 
Pronunciation Dictionary un-useable.  This has been fixed in KeySoft 
4.02.

3.19.  Potential Planner lockup fixed.  [Fixed in KS4.02]   Although 
not a valid command, in KeySoft 4.0 performing a "Go to" command from 
within the Planner would cause the BrailleNote to lockup if you 
pressed F or B by itself followed by the Enter key. The F and B 
command are normally followed by criteria such as W (week), M (month) 
etc, but if they are inadvertently omitted it should not have caused 
the BrailleNote to lock up.  This has been fixed in KeySoft 4.02.

3.20.  Planner alarm issues addressed.  [Fixed in KS4.02]  In KeySoft 
4.0 there were issues relating to Planner alarms that occurred during 
the time that the BrailleNote was switched off.  The first was that 
after cancelling the alarm by pressing c, the alarm reappeared 5 
minutes later on the Braille display but without sound, and with a 
phantom time stamp.  The second was that while in the "switched off" 
mode the BrailleNote was not switched on long enough to fully 
announce the spoken messages, so that when you next switched on the 
alarm information reappeared.  In KeySoft 4.02 these 2 problems have 
been fixed, and the BrailleNote will now also go to the Alarm Options 
Menu if you switch on during an alarm.

3.21.  Export to Plain Braille file fully functional.  [Fixed in 
KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.0 this was not working correctly when appending 
or replacing to the same file name.  This was caused by BrailleNote 
saving plain Braille files with a "txt" rather than a "brf" 
extension. This has been fixed in KeySoft 4.02.

3.22.  Function of Previous and Next thumb keys now retained after 
Reset.  [Fixed in KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.01 the function of the 
Previous and Next thumb keys was not retained following a reset, if 
they had been changed from the standard "Up and Down" setting to 
"Paragraph and Section".  This has been fixed in KeySoft 4.02.

3.23.  Can now Delete folders containing protected files.  [Fixed in 
KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.01 attempting to erase a folder containing 
protected files caused the BrailleNote to continuously loop around 
the files indicating that they were protected.  This has been fixed 
in KeySoft 4.02.

3.24.  Copying protected files now retains protected attribute.  In 
KeySoft 4.0 when a protected file was copied to a storage card, it 
was not protected on the card.  [Fixed in KS4.02]  This has been 
fixed in KeySoft 4.02.

3.25.  Missing increase volume command added under Options Menu.  
[Fixed in KS4.02]  In KeySoft 4.0 the increase volume command "Enter 
with dot 4" was omitted from the list of commands given at the bottom 
of the Options Menu. This has been fixed in KeySoft 4.02.

3.26.  VoiceNote Task Menu content corrected.  [Fixed in KS4.02]  In 
VoiceNote models there was an item in the Task Menu for "Terminal for 
Screen Reader", which is obviously not available as these units don't 
have Braille displays.  This has been fixed in KeySoft 4.02.


4. The Upgrade Process.

Installation of the KeySoft 4.02 Service Release and associated 
documentation may be thought of as a 3-step process.  Dependent on 
your machine, and the version of KeySoft currently installed, it may 
not be necessary to perform Step 3.

Step 1:  Download and install the KeySoft 4.02 Install package.
Step 2:  Determine your current User Guide.
Step 3:  Download and Install any necessary Manual files.

So, let's now have a look at each of the 3 steps.


4.1. Step 1:  Download and install the KeySoft 4.02 Install package.

Before installing the upgrade, you should follow good computing 
practice, and make a back up of your system.

The KeySoft 4.02 Build 1992, Install Package is the same for both 
Classic and Second Edition machines.

Details on where to obtain the Install Package are given in Section 
5, and installation instructions are provided in Section 6.

If during the installation, you get the message that there is 
insufficient room to install the upgrade, you will have to perform 
some file housekeeping to free up extra space on the Flash disk.


4.2. Step 2:  Determine your current User Guide.

To get the best out of the version 4.02 release, you should make sure 
that you have the KeySoft version 4.0 User Guide installed on your 
machine.

The easiest way to determine this is to bring up the electronic User 
Guide from Options Menu, and go to the Table of Contents.  If you 
have the version 4.0 User Guide, it will show "Web Browser" in the 
table of contents.  This entry comes after the "Email" topic.

It also pays to check access to the User Guide from the Index.  If 
you have the correct Index file, and associated User Guide files, you 
should be prompted with "Web Page Topics" when you type "w".  If you 
select the topic "Moving to another page", you should be taken to 
section 12.6 of the Electronic User Guide.


4.3. Step 3:  Download and Install any necessary Manual files.

If you don't already have the Version 4.0 User Guide installed, 
clients with Classic machines may go to the download site and select 
the manual installation package appropriate to your machine.  For 
example if you are in the USA, and you have a Classic BrailleNote BT, 
download the package "Classic BNBT USA Manuals".

The "Classic" manual packages will only install on machines that have 
the Classic motherboard.

Clients with the Second Edition motherboard who haven't got the 
version 4 Manual should email support@pulsedata.com giving their 
machine type, serial number, and country of residence.  We will then 
email you the appropriate manual installation package and 
instructions on how to install it.


5. Where to Obtain the Upgrade.

All files, with the exception of the Version 4.0 Manual installation 
packages for machines with the Second Edition motherboard, may be 
downloaded from Pulse Data International's web page.  The following 
URL will take you directly to the Download page.

http://www.pulsedata.com/products/blindness/braillenote_downloads.asp

If you are navigating to the download page from the www.pulsedata.com 
home page, don't select the "Text Only" mode, as the files displayed 
on the "Text Only" download page may still refer to the KeySoft 4.01 
Release.  This will be updated, but it may be a couple of weeks 
before this is done.

On the Download page you will find the following 12 links, relevant 
to the installation of KeySoft 4.02, displayed in the order presented 
below.

6. Installing KeySoft 4.02.

6.1. Reset Procedures.

During installation of KeySoft 4.02, you will instructed in the 
documentation, or by your BrailleNote, to perform various types of 
resets.  For example, the BrailleNote may instruct: "System Files 
have been updated.  Press Reset".  It is important to follow the 
requested reset instructions, of which there are three possibilities, 
and these are detailed below.

6.1.1. Press Reset.

On/Off Switch.  No keyboard keys should be held down while the Reset 
switch is being pressed.

You should hear a beep immediately after pressing the Reset switch, 
followed by a short chime some 10 to 15 seconds later.  After the 
chime, you should hear the KeySoft sign on message, indicating the 
software version.

Pressing the Reset switch without any keys held down restarts the 
BrailleNote and if present, loads the KeySoft upgrade installed on 
the Flash Disk.

6.1.2 Press Reset with dots 1-2-3 (f-d-s).

For units with Braille keyboards, this means:  Hold down the keys 
representing dots 1, 2 and 3, and while continuing to hold them down, 
press the Reset switch.  Don't release the keys until the speech 
restarts.

For units with computer style keyboards, this means:  Hold down the 
f, d and s keys, and while continuing to hold them down, press the 
Reset switch.  Don't release the keys until the speech restarts.

You should hear a beep immediately after pressing the Reset switch, 
followed by a short chime some 5 to 10 seconds later.  After the 
chime, you should hear the KeySoft sign on message, indicating the 
software version.

Reset with dots 1-2-3 (f-d-s) forces the BrailleNote to load the 
version of KeySoft burnt into the ROM.

6.1.3 Press Reset with dots 4-5-6 (j-k-l).

For units with Braille keyboards, this means:  Hold down the keys 
representing dots 4, 5 and 6, and while continuing to hold them down,

j, k and l keys, and while continuing to hold them down, press the 
Reset switch.  Don't release the keys until the speech restarts.

You should hear a beep immediately after pressing the Reset switch, 
followed by a short chime some 15 to 20 seconds later.  After the 
chime, you should hear the KeySoft sign on message, indicating the 
software version.

Reset with dots 4-5-6 (j-k-l) clears the RAM portion of the KeySoft 
System Disk and if present, loads the KeySoft upgrade installed on 
the Flash Disk.  This reset allows new system files to be installed 
into the KeySoft System Disk.

The Date and Time will require resetting following a Reset with dots 
4-5-6 (j-k-l).

6.4.11. Press Reset on the BrailleNote and KeySoft will restart, and 
you should hear that it is running KeySoft CE Version 4.02 build 
1992.  The exact sequence that follows will depend on whether your 
machine has the Classic or Second Edition motherboard, and if you 
already have a KeySoft upgrade installed on the Flash Disk.  Don't be 
disturbed if the sequence doesn't follow that outlined below.  It is 
important that you listen and act upon the prompts given by your 
machine.

7. Installing the Version 4.0 Manuals on Classic Machines.

The installation process only applies to machines with the Classic 
Motherboard, and installs the KeySoft 4 User Guide, the Spelling 
Dictionary, and the Classic Readme file.

Instructions are provided for installing from either a plug-in memory 
card or using the ActiveSync Installer.


7.1.  Required Files.

The Classic manual package appropriate to your machine. (See below 
for how to choose this) 

The package places a copy of the "Classic KeySoft Software 4.01 
Readme.txt" file in the General folder, overwrites the original 
KeySoft User Guide files with the updated KeySoft 4.0 files, and 
installs the Spelling Dictionary.

To select the appropriate manual package, you must determine your 
machine type and country settings.  For example, if you are in the 
USA and have a BrailleNote BT, download the item "Classic BNBT USA 
Manuals".  If you are in the UK or if your machine currently has a UK 
spelling dictionary, choose the item "Classic BNBT UK Manuals".  
Remember that the manual installation package also updates the 
Spelling Dictionary, so any UK package will install the UK spelling 
dictionary, and conversely, any USA package will install the USA 
spelling dictionary.

In the following installation we assume that the machine being 
upgraded is a Classic US BrailleNote BT.

If you intend to install the upgrade using ActiveSync you will also 
need to download the item labelled "ActiveSync Installer for KeySoft 
4.0x".  This will download the file "ActiveSync Install_new.exe".  
Don't use an earlier version of "ActiveSync Install.exe" as changes 
have been made to facilitate installation of the new User Guide 
files.


7.2.  Installing from Memory Card.

Note, people wishing to install the upgrade using the SuperDisk drive 
should follow the instructions given for installing from a memory 
card, placing the required files on a super disk rather than on a 
memory card.

7.2.2.  Insert memory card into the PCMCIA slot.

conclusion press Reset when instructed.

7.2.10.  You should now find the file "Classic KeySoft Software 4.01 
Readme.txt" in the General folder.  If it isn't present, press Reset 
again, and then try to locate the file again.

electronic User Guide you should now find that the KeySoft version 4 
User Guide has been installed.  Refer to Section 4.2 for tips on how 
to check that the manual is in place.

"ActiveSync Install_new.exe" to a common folder on your PC.

7.3.2.  Turn Speech on then Reset with dots 1-2-3 (f-d-s). If you 
need clarification on the reset procedure, please refer to Section 
6.1.2.

7.3.3.  Establish an ActiveSync connection between your BrailleNote 
and your PC.

7.3.4.  Using Windows Explorer, open the Folder on your PC in which 
you copied the 2 files. Select the file "ActiveSync Install.exe", and 
press Enter on your PC keyboard.

7.3.5.  The "PDI KeySoft ActiveSync Installer" dialog box will appear 
on your PC.  It should already be pointing to the classic manual 
package.  If not, press the Down Arrow key until you hear that file 
name, and press Enter to start the installation.

7.3.6.  The install program will establish a connection with the 
BrailleNote and transfer the installation program to the BrailleNote.  
This process should take about 90 seconds.

installation process.

Enter on the BrailleNote.
