Dialer v2.2  (Replaces Dialer v2.1)  Easy Phone Dialer, not a terminal emulator. 

This program requires VBRUN300.DLL if you do not have it, your local
BBS should.  It was not packaged with this program to conserve disk
space, or because I am lazy.


Revision History:

Feb 01, 1995

Version 2.2 of Dialer has the following bug enhancements: (Better Bugs)

    (Thanks to John T. Chiu for his information on the following enhancements)
    Telephone number length is now up to 55 characters. ( 55 - person's_name )
    International Dialing so John can call his family.  ( 011-55-555-5555....)
    Added redialing capabilities

    Fixed some bugs in the Setup/Configuration screen.
    Dialer now centers itself on any screen. (Any.... Ha Ha.  Feedback needed)
	
    IMPORTANT NOTICE:  Dialer v2.2 requires a comma between the NAME and the
		       NUMBER of each name in the phone directory. This allows
		       for longer (unlimited?) phone numbers needed for inter-
		       national calls. I use a word processor with global search
		       and replace functions to insert commas.

			   Example:

				   Find:  "("
			   Replace with:  ",("

INSTALLATION:  

By now you have already UNZIPPED Dialer.zip

-  Type at the A:\> prompt INSTALL (or B:\> INSTALL)
-  Execute Windows
-  Option:  Open the Program Manager and make a new group "DIALER"
-  Open the file manager and select the DIALER directory
-  Drag DIALER.EXE from the File Manager to the appropriate program
   group under the Program Manager. (Drag all *.txt files also.)
-  Double Click the Dialer Icon.

CREATING YOUR OWN DIRECTORY:

The simple text file structure of this phone directory is ideal
because phone lists can be generated out of almost any com-
mercially available phone number data base and used with
this program.  The format is simple, NAMES on the left and
NUMBERS on the right.  

Ex.:

John Doe, (719) 555-1212
John Doe, [pager] (719) 443-1212

Note:  "()" for Area Code Optional

Note:   Dialer v2.2 now requires a comma "," between the name and the number.
	Any comma found after the first comma will be interpreted as a pause 
	for the modem.


These numbers will be formatted and displayed on the Dialer v2.2
"Main" screen as:

John Doe____________________________________(719) 555-1212
John Doe [pager]____________________________(719) 443-1212

Note:   Comma is NOT displayed on the Dialer's main screen.


Most of the time, I find it most convenient to use the "Notepad" 
under Windows to edit my phone lists. (Or EDIT in DOS) I tend to 
use multiple phone books (*.txt files) to keep home, work  and 
frequently called numbers grouped together and organized. You do 
not have to enter these phone numbers in alphabetical order either.  
Just enter them, run Dialer, and select the "Directory" option, and 
press "OK".  The next time you view the directory it will be organ-
ized alphabetically.  

That's about all I have to say, so I hope you enjoy this program.
