PAGEMASTER - THE COMPLETE PAGING SOLUTION
VERSION 1.42
COPYRIGHT (C) 1995 OMNITREND SOFTWARE, INC.
SHAREWARE NOTE
Version 1.42 is NOT a free upgrade for registered owners of version 1.2 or
earlier. Your version 1.2 and earlier registration number WILL NOT work with
this newer version. You must contact Omnitrend at (203) 678-7679 if you wish

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The setup program provided by PageMaster installs all the
necessary components. A program group will also be created from
which you can launch the application.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
For extensive help on any of the dialog boxes presented by the
Setup program during installation, press the F1 key or choose the
Help button in the dialog box.
To run Setup for installation of PageMaster:
1. If Windows is not already running, follow the procedure for
starting Windows.
2. From the File Menu in the Program Manager, choose Run. In
the Command Line box, type the drive letter and path to the
location of the PageMaster files, followed by \SETUP. For
example, "G:\DOWNLOADS\SETUP".
3. Choose the OK button or press ENTER.
THE INSTALLATION PROCESS
There are four steps to the installation process. The Setup
program does the following:
1. Asks you where to install PageMaster. Its default location is
the C:\PAGEMSTR directory. If this directory doesn't exist,
Setup will create it for you.
2. Installs the PageMaster program files.
3. Creates a Program Group entitled "PageMaster" and places it in
the Program Manager window.
4. Notifies you that setup is complete.

VERSION CHANGES
The following changes were made from previous versions of the
software:
1.42
o Added support for VIM-Compliant EMail systems, including Lotus cc:Mail and
Lotus Notes.
o Added the ability to view and clear page log files from within PageMaster.
o Added a Caller ID "Pop-Up" window that appears on the screen when a call
is received on the Call Monitor modem.
1.41
o Added the ability to set the baud rate for paging systems that support
sending alphanumeric pages at greater than 300 baud.
o When monitoring for events without the screen saver, PageMaster no longer
displays the "Monitoring for Events" dialog box. Instead, the word
"Monitoring" appears in the status bar. This allows movement and
minimizing of the PageMaster window during monitoring.
1.4
o Added the ability to send pages using a command line parameter.
o Added a command line switch to turn off the title screen display
on startup.
o Pagers may now be assigned to more than one group.
o Added a feature that allows users to enter pre-defined messages. When
PageMaster normally prompts the user to enter a message, one of the pre-
defined messages may be chosen instead.
o Added a command line switch to turn on monitoring for events on startup.
o Added the ability to schedule pages to be sent at a later date and time.
Scheduled pages may also be set to automatically re-schedule the same page
every day, week, month, or year.
o When typing in a message to send to an alphanumeric pager, a display
is now available that indicates how many pages will be needed to send the
messages.
o Added Caller ID (CID) support to Call Monitoring. Caller ID data (if
available) will be sent to the pager. This requires a modem with Caller
ID capability.
1.33
o Added an additional data field for each pager. The page list may
be sorted and searched on this field.
o Fixed a bug that prevented PageMaster from sending any future pages if
the modem was in use by another application when the screen saver
activated. The program would have to be stopped and restarted to
resume paging.
o Added the ability to send messages to multiple alphanumeric pagers in a
single phone call if the pagers share a common access number. In addition,
Email messages that are sent across multiple pages are now done with a
single phone call.
o The view selection (All or Group) is now saved between runs of the
application.
o Added support for alphanumeric paging systems that require a password.
o For pages sent to alphanumeric pagers by Schedule+ reminders, added the
start and end time of the appointment.
1.32
o Added the ability to send more text of a mail message using multiple
pages. Each mail filter now allows you to specify the maximum
number of pages that will be sent.
1.31
o Altered the modem driver to work with more types of modems.
o Fixed a bug in the DDE support that would not queue pages
properly.
1.3
o Added EMail paging support for Microsoft Mail.
o Allow page messages of any length. Messages that are longer than the
maxumim allowed page length will be split and sent in multiple pages.
1.2
o Added a page counter that appends page numbers to each message sent.
o Added the ability to specify which types of pages should be logged.
o Fixed a bug that prevented DDE from working under certain circumstances.
1.1
o Added DDE support for paging and adding new pagers.
o Added a find feature that searches the pager list.
o Allowed multiple pagers to receive call monitor and Schedule+
pages.
o Added an import pager data function.
o Added the ability to log pages to a text file.
o Fixed a bug where the dialing prefix digit was not used for
dialing either of the two voice numbers.
o Added a Resubmit button.
