REGISTRATION: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Registration bestows many benefits on the program user and the programmer. The benefits to the program user are easy: He or she gains a registered copy, usually accompanied with free shareware versions of other quality programs. These registered programs usually contain addition functions, and in any event are the most current public release of a program. In addition, you are automatically placed on a "list". This "list" is not distributed for any reason, so there's no need to worry about junk mail, etc. unless you specifically state that it is your wish that it be distributed, in which case it will be distributed, and you shall most likely recieve the benefit of as much junk mail as you desire. To register, make out a check or money order for $10.00 to either Dave Carney or Jamie Williams. Complete the order form included with this package, and mail them both to: MacroWare Software 133 Caribou Drive Youngstown, Ohio 44512-6202 A few notes: 1) If MacroWare must mail to an address outside of the United States, include an additional $5.00. Sorry, but even then MacroWare's got one of the least expensive registrations for programs of its quality. 2) We do NOT accept credit cards (yet!). 3) Registered copies are not to be distributed. Discovery of such can result in legal action or severe taunting. MacroWare further appreciates any information concerning such distribution. MacroWare also appreciates any comments or information concerning discovered bugs or ideas for further development. MacroWare will not provide any compensation for these ideas, however your name will appear in the crediting in the appendix of this document in later updates, assuming your suggestion is used. DISTRIBUTION: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� The shareware version of DIAL-IT may be conditionally distributed. You are encouraged to distribute this program to others, however all operating files must be included in unaltered form. Operating files include: DIALIT.CFG PRISM.DAT DIALIT.EXE DOCUMENT.TXT REGISTER.TXT DIALSET.EXE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� IBM or Compatible DOS system (5.0 preferable) Hard Drive preferable 286 or better advisable PROGRAM OVERVIEW: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� MAIN MENU: You may use the arrow keys to move the selection bar up and down the menu to highlight your selection, then press to engage that option. Pressing the first letter of an option jumps to highlight that selection. Pressing when in the main menu will exit the menu (although you are prompted first). The function keys have operations in this part of the program not available elsewhere. FUNCTION KEYS [Main Menu]: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 F1: Help HotCard F2: MacroHelp F3: Configuration F10: About File See Appendix A (Function Keys) for more details. MAIN MENU OPTIONS: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� LOAD PHONEBOOK: This option loads a phonebook previously saved to a file. Dial-It supports a file-pick routine of a maximum of 18 data files. Move the cursor bar to highlight the file choice and press to load/decode. "F" - Pressing "F" when in the Load Phonebook box allows you to manually alter the filespec LOAD scans for. You are prompted for the new filespec, which can consist of a filespec (*.FON, D*.*, HARVEY.DA*) , or a full path and a filespec. SAVE PHONEBOOK: This saves the phonebook in memory to a data file. Be sure to do this after editing or else your changes are lost after leaving the program. The filename can be up to 8 letters. Do not add an extension to the end of the filename. Note that it will write over a previous file. VIEW PHONEBOOK: Views the phonebook currently in memory, one entry at a time. It starts at entry 1. Pressing proceeds to the next entry in memory. Pressing will move to the previous entry. Pressing exits from viewing mode. "E" - Edit: Allows you to edit your entries. Editing a blank entry is in effect adding an entry to your list. Press the number identifying which entry you wish to modify, and modify it. The following code is listed in the upper right hand corner: 1. Name 2. Home Phone Number 3. Work Phone Number 4. Address [street] 5. Address [city, state zip code] 6. Company 7. Comment Special Editing Keys: Alt-D: Pressing Alt-D deletes all portions of an entry. You are prompted before elimination to make sure that wiping the entry out is what you mean to do. "D" - Dial: If your modem type is supported, and Dial-It is properly configured (see Appendix A, F3 Configure), Dial-It will dial the number for you. Obviously, it checks to make sure if there is something TO dial...however, Dial-It does not check to make sure that it is a legitimate phone number. SEARCH: Allows you to search the phonebook in memory for a string of text. It need not be any recognizable word, i.e. "782", "Dave", "u" are all examples. Case does not matter. The Search routine then proceeds through all the entries--starting at entry 1-- until it finds a match. It then displays that entry, with the categories that contain the string highlighted. After the first one, pressing exits, while pressing continues the search where it left off. If Search ever checks and finds no match, it will merely return to the option menu. PRINT LIST: Prints the information to the printer. First it asks which categories to print. Then it presents options for printing, then it prints. ALPHABETIZE: This orders all entries in memory, either progressively (forward) or degressively (backward) in alphabetical ordev. It's recommended you save it afterwards, else you may forget and *poof*, it's gone when you exit and you have to order it again. CLEAR MEMORY: Clears memory of all entries. Be careful of this one, especially if you have made changes and not saved them yet. APPENDIX A: THE FUNCTION KEYS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� This lists the various function keys and what part they play in each section of the program. Unless noted otherwise, all entries apply to the Main Menu only. F1: Help Hotcard - A quick reference card containing some basic info and commands for functioning in the Dial-It environ. F2: MacroHelp - An in-depth help file for Dial-It. Actually, an on-line text viewer for the ASCII file included with Dial-It. Uses up and down arrows, and page up/page down to navigate. exits. F3: Configure - Allows configuration of certain options. = Modem - Indicates whether modem exists, which COM port, baud rate, timer, and other options. = Sound - Toggles sound On/Off. = Music - Allows selection of various PC Speaker musicals. Sound must be on. Shareware versions only have four or five, whereas registered versions generally have all nine. = Security - Allows indication of password, or cancellation of it. = Default Phone Filespec - Default filespec for when loading files. = Color Configuration - Allows configuration of text and background colors. Be sure to save your changes! F10: About Dial-It - Contains various tidbits about Dial-It of no real concern to most people, I'm sure. Still, I'd suggest running it every time you get an update, just to see what's up.
