Rebuild Option -------------- If you have an error reported from Mentor, follow this process: try to simply reopen the file - Mentor may auto repair itself if the file opens but the problem persists, use CTRL+SHIFT+J if the file will not open, select "rebuild" from the error dialog The rebuild option causes the database to be rebuilt (then repaired) when it is next opened (Mentor exits when you press the button). This facility has been provided due to index corruptions caused by the operating system when the system runs out of memory. New Features ------------ Many more new features are planned - these will form part of later releases. These include: Help (manual) available from within Mentor Synchronise with Agenda Printing ******************************************************* *********** Please read the on-line manual ************ ******************************************************* Legal Stuff ----------- Mentor is copyright (c) Ben Thornton 1996-1999.
