How to Avoid Problems with ProtoNumberPicker (8/23/96)

Q: I am thinking of using protoNumberPicker for input. (or) I have used protoNumberPicker and have encountered a bug/misfeature/problem. What should I use?

A: protoNumberPicker has several instabilities and bugs. We recommend that you use the DTS sample code "protoNumberPicker_TDS". It provides all of the features of protoNumberPicker with none of the bugs. It also provides additional functionality that is not in protoNumberPicker. See the sample code for more detail.
