V8.1 Add-ons with current patches

[nickz]

Question? Is there a "readme.txt" or something similar, explaining exactly what the add-ons are? I am curious about the set-up sheets.

The Add-ons featured on the Patches section change periodically but generally include the following items:

-our preferred default .cfg file settings

-our preferred Operation defaults

-our Drilling Operation libraries

-additional C-Hooks (e.g. Colrsurf, PostHelp)

-additional posts (Mpmaster, Mpsubrep)

-HTML Setup Sheet

-files missing in the install

All patches and additions are included until the file won't fit on a floppy. Then two files are available for download - v8addons.exe and v8addons_full.exe. The 'Full' file contains all of the patches, while the partial file contains add-ons and critical patches.

We use these files on new installs in the field. As an example, setting the OpenGL drawing mode Off by default could potentially save our company several days of phone support from our direct customers each year.
