How To Check The Version Of A Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System Program

Within the product, each program has a specific version, as well as a root version. Both versions can be seen by pressing the F1 key twice. The root version displays to the right of the first line. The program version displays below the System Date, to the right of the Current Program.

			What Is The Root?
			The Root refers to a group of functions used by every program within the RTS-Advantage Accounting System. These functions are for common tasks such as reading and writing data. Whenever these functions are changed, the Root Version is changed to reflect that.

How To Find The Version Of The Credit Card Interface

The version of the credit card interface is displayed in the lower right corner of the credit card pop up window. As you are processing a credit card payment, a window similar to the following appears. Note the current version in the lower right.

How To Use The DeltaDOS Patch Installer

The DeltaDOS Patch Installer can be downloaded from this site or you can copy it from the RTSUtils directory of your version 4 CD of the Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System. Whether downloaded or copied from the CD, put the DeltaDOS.EXE file in your PROGS directory.

As you download futre patches, place the DPF (Delta Patch File) in the same directory (the PROGS directory).

Applying a patch is easy. After decompressing the ZIP file you downloaded, you'll have a file ending with the extension DPF (for Delta Patch File). This DPF file is the file the DeltaDOS program will use to install your patch.

To have DeltaDOS install the patch, you type:

 DELTADOS  <patch file name>

The program will find the correct directory in which to install the patch by checking your AUSER, APROGS and AFILES environment variables. If you do not have these set in a regular DOS session, just add the correct path to the command line. For instance, to load patch 6,

 DELTADOS PATCH6  (if environment variables set)

 or

 DELTADOS PATCH6 F:\ADV\PROGS  (if not set)

If the program determines that the patch can be installed it will tell you which files were updated. If any of your files are not on the correct versions for the patch to be installed the program will tell you which file(s) are incorrect. You will need to load previous patches to update your system before you can successfully load the current patch.
 

How To Transfer New Tax Tables

After unzipping the new ADPRTXTB.DAT file into your SYS directory, you can transfer the new tables into your payroll data by following these steps:

1. Go to Payroll program 3, Deduction Types, and jot down the table codes assigned to each of the affected deductions. For example, if you have 3 different state withholding deductions, take note of the table assigned to each, such as table 4, SWT Married, table 5, SWT Single, table 6, SWT Head of Household.
   
   
2. Go to Payroll program 2, Deduction Tables, and delete those tables. If any of these tables have a deduction code listed in the left-most column on the Ded 1 and Ded 2 lines, take note of those deduction numbers--you’ll need to enter them when transferring in the new tables in program 58.
   
   
3. Go to Payroll program 58 and transfer the new tables into to the old numbers, being certain to choose the correct table. In our example, you’d want to be careful that the new SWT Married table is transferred to table 4; the new SWT Single table is transferred to table 5 and so on. If prompted for deduction numbers, enter the ones you recorded in step 2.

How To Determine The Version Of A PL File
	After loading a format in System Administrator program 11, Modify Reports, the version of that PL file is displayed as shown. Note that the version can be different from one module to another.

How To Determine The Version Of The ADPRTAX1 & 2 Files
	The ADPRTAX1 and ADPRTAX2 files hold the Federal and State tax tables in a format you can access and transfer through Payroll program 58. When either option (Tax Transfer 1, which opens the ADPRTAX1 file or Tax Transfer 2, which opens the ADPRTAX2 file) is selected, the version of the associated file displays as shown.

How To Use Your Replacement CD
BEFORE INSTALLING ANY SOFTWARE CLOSE ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS AND MAKE A BACKUP
	Refer to the yellow Installation instruction booklet included with your original purchase of version 4 for details on using the automatic Windows Setup program included on the Replacement CD. These instructions cover the differences you might encounter when installing from the Replacement CD. If, after inserting the CD, the following screen is displayed:
	you’ll need to force the installation program to run from the Start...Run prompt by entering the following:
	Where D: is the letter of your CD drive.
	If installing from a Complete System CD you will have the option to Update an older version of RTS-Advantage or to load a New Installation. Always select the RTS-Advantage Update option whenever loading software onto a system that is already running an earlier version.
	After installation, you’ll most likely need to update data and print layout files through System Administrator program 7. Refer to the page 13 of the original yellow Installation booklet for details on Updating Your Data Files.
