FYI, Many of the buttons on the ICC under GoGlobal can be refreshed by going
into and out of the Paste Buffer. (The BUFFER pick on the ICC's menu bar.)

Subject: RE: XVision on Win98
We use a combination of Exceed, Go Global, Windows 3.1 (yeah I know
its old), Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT.
Depending on the operating system and video card, we can use
either 256 colors or True Color settings. They all act a little
differently. The most bizarre problem is using Exceed on a Windows 98
machine. If you open a Foxview display from one AW and then an old Display
Manager from another AW, the old DM screen is completely black. If you open
the old DM first & then the Foxview, everything works fine. Go Global does
not have this problem (but it does have a few others), and the same machine
using Windows NT (dual-boot) works fine with either Exceed or Go Global.
On the machine I am using right now, a Windows 98, Exceed behaves
differently in 256 and True Color modes. In the old DM the normal outline
box that appears when the mouse cursor is over a "pickable" field only shows
up in 256 color mode. In True color you have to know which fields are
pickable, and the yellow outline box appears only after you have selected
the field.
In a Foxview session the outline box shows up all the time . . .
Any of the Foxboro utility type programs like the ICC or the
Historian have problems when run from the PCs, so I don't use them unless I
really have too. If you can remember where the disappearing fields in the
ICC are it isn't TOO bad, but it still makes me nervous when I'm at home & I
have to use it.
I guess there is no perfect PC access method!
