BMR - Broadcast Message Receiver for Netware and OS/2. 07/12/93
Copyright (c) 1993, KWS Software and Z-Space.
All rights reserved.
====================================================================
N O T I C E
====================================================================
This IS a shareware package, and does require a registration fee if
you choose to continue using it after 30 days. The registration
fee is currently $15 US for individuals or $35 for a server-wide
license.
------------------------------------------------------------------
====================================================================
I M P O R T A N T
====================================================================
NOTES: The file NWCALLS.DLL that was shipped with some versions of
the OS/2 requester failed to include certain functions that BMR uses.
The DLL included in the version 1.0 distribution ZIP file was from
the Novell's developer kit and had the functionality BMR needs, but
failed to function properly under all circumstances.
We have tested BMR with the OS/2 Requester v2.01 and all seems to be
correct. The OS/2 version of Salvage still traps, but this is now
obviously a Novell problem. Use the DOS version in a DOS box.
The NWCALLS.DLL we tested with is dated 1/27/93. This is what
we recommend you use.
NOTE that the NSD v2.02 is OBSOLETE. The version number is misleading,
the full release requester v2.01 superceeds the v2.02 NSD; the 2.02
release was just a patch.
THERE IS NO DLL SUPPLIED WITH THIS RELEASE. BMR REQUIRES VERSION 2.01
OF THE NETWARE OS/2 REQUESTER.
KNOWN BUGS AND STUFF
====================
o Supports only single server systems. The server handled will be the
"default" server when BMR is started.
FIXES/ENHANCEMENTS in Version 1.1
=================================
o New button that shows the count of "to" users currently selected.
Clicking on this button clears all selected users.
o New "instance checking". Previously, under certain conditions, BMR
would beep and exit. It would not load. BMR will try not to load
itself twice. Previously, it would read the task list and attempt
to match on task name. This proved to be troublesome. We now use
a named resource to test for existing instances.
o Double clicking on a line in the receive list box will attempt to
find the user name associated with this line. That user name,
if found to be valid, will be selected in the "to" listbox.
o Dialog Mode 5 is now movable. Click on the tiny button on the bottom
of the dialog box, between the two list boxes. You're now in move
mode. Move it, click it - presto!
o The option and exit dialogs are now always centered over the receive
dialog box. Just a cosmetic ...
