//====//====//       “YateFAQ”         //====//====//====//====//====//====//

1) How do I "Rebuild my Executable"
		Launch Terminal
		cd to the Source folder of Yate:
	$ cd Yate96/Source
		type "make"
	There should now be a new copy of the YATE
	executable, called "yate" in the Source directory.
	You may want to remove the previous copy
	in the Yate96 directory to avoid problems with
	MimeTypes.


2) How do I disable Smooth Scrolling at startup?
	Go to BMapView.cpp, and in the BMapView::BMapView() constructor, change:
		sscroll=TRUE;
	to
		sscroll=FALSE;


3) How do I change the default font size?
	Go to BMapView.cpp, and in the:
	BMapView::BMapView()    (constructor)
	there is a line which reads:

		myfont.SetSize(mysh);

	By changing the mysh variable, you can change
	the font size for new windows.


4) Why doesn't ‘TermHire’ work?
	In order for TermHire to work correctly, you must first
	install TermHire.

	TermHire is available at:
	ftp://ftp.be.com/pub/contrib/add-ons/Tracker


5) Why aren't there more FAQ's?
	Because I'm lazy :-)


6) How do I get Smoother Scrolling?
	The smoothness of scrolling varies greatly from
	one machine to another. You can try some
	of the following to improve performance:

		• Turn it off from the “Window” Menu.
		• Get an accelerated video card driver that
				supports bitblt.
		• Get a faster video card.
		• Make your Window smaller.
		• Change to a smaller Screen Resolution.
		• Change to a lower Bit Depth.
		• Only have one view of each Document.
		• Close some background apps.

	Thanks to Maple (a symbolic algebra package)
	The actual speed of scrolling does not depend
	on the frame rate.  However, you may
	experience jerks and stutters, especially when
	scrolling sideways.

	Yate96 has *NOT* been optimised for the
	non-smooth scrolling case.
	Your Mileage May Very - especially under
	heavy system loads.


7) Why is the HTML viewer so slow/lame/etc?
	This is only a proof-of-concept HTML viewer.
	The intended method of displaying HTML
	will be much faster and largely insensitve to
	file size.


8) What happened to Folding?
	Folding as it was implemented in Yate94 was
	basically a proof of concept hack.  Luckily,
	the technology behind an HTML viewer is
	similar to that for Folding.  Expect Folding to
	make a come back soonish and be much
	improved.


9) Does Yate Support Printing?
	No.
	I don't have a supported Printer.
	I hear rumours of an Epson printer driver in
	development, and I have access to such a 
	printer, so there should be some sort of support
	after the driver's release.

10) When will Yate have 'XYZ' feature?
	Just as soon as you EMail me.
	If there's a feature you want, I can probably
	add it in a day or two and send you back a
	custom version.
