Tools | Program Options

In Tools | Program Options set several WinCross program-related options:

When a multi-core CPU is detected, use multiple processing threads for Run Tables

When checked WinCross will use its multi-threaded processing capabilities when running tables on a multi-core CPU. All other WinCross operations will use a single core. If your machine is single-core, and you select this option, WinCross can only process using a single thread.

Maximum number of cores to use (0 for all): WinCross defaults to 0 which uses all available cores.
Adjusting the number of cores will increase the amount of time it takes to run tables, but will free up cores for other applications. I.e., if the CPU has 4 cores and WinCross is set to use 2 the time to run tables will double and other applications will run more smoothly while WinCross is running tables.

Create backup job files

When checked WinCross automatically creates a backup jobfile that resides in the open jobs directory. Backup job files are created each time the job file is saved.

Maximum number of backups to save (0 for all): WinCross default is set to save 5 backups. After 5 backup jobfiles have been created the oldest backup will be replaced.
When set to 0, backup jobfiles are not deleted.
To turn this feature off uncheck "Create backup jobfiles when changes are saved"

Show a warning message before overwriting the job file

Will display a message warning you that your job file is about to be overwritten and gives you the opportunity to change your mind when you have selected File | Save job or the Save Job toolbar button.

Selecting Do not show this message again on the Warning dialog box will deselect this option on Tools | Program Options.

Show a warning message before writing the weighted standard error to a frequency report when a job file in not open

Will display a message warning you that the formula for calculating the weighted standard error is assumed to be Adjust standard error when weighting because no job file is open. You can specify this option in Setup | Job Settings| Statistics when the job file is open.

Show a warning message for overlength data

When opening a variable type data file, WinCross will display a warning message to let you know there are data values with more than 12 characters. For programming and computational purposes, WinCross uses only the leftmost 12 characters. When saving the data file, the original data and variable width will be retained.

Choose Always to continue to display the warning message when this condition occurs, Never to never display this warning message again or Once per session to display this warning message once per WinCross session when this condition occurs.

Selecting Do not show this message again on the Data Truncation Warning dialog box will choose Never as the selection for the Show a warning message for data truncation option in Tools | Program Options.
Selecting Do not show again during this WinCross session on the Data Truncation Warning dialog box will choose Once per session as the selection for the Show a warning message for data truncation option in Tools | Program Options.

Perform live spell checking in various edit boxes throughout WinCross

Underlines potential misspellings with a red squiggly line as an alert.

Automatically deauthorize WinCross when closing

Allows you to automatically deauthorize WinCross when you close the program. This option only applies to desktop versions of WinCross, not to network versions.
