CALLER ID LOOK-UP SYSTEM VERSION 1.0
UNLICENSED-EVALUATION VERSION
Copyright 1992 Online Resources
P.O. Box 1034 Concord, CA 94522
All Rights Reserved
REGISTRATION OF THE PRODUCT ENTITLES YOU TO THE LATEST REGISTERED VERSION
OF THE PRODUCT, AS WELL AS OTHER VALUABLE BENIFITS! DO NOT USE FOR MORE
THAN 30 DAYS WITHOUT REGISTRATION. THIS IS AN EVALUATION COPY ONLY.
General information:
This program is designed to let you quickly figure out who is calling you
if you have Caller-ID service, or have a phone number, and need to know
who it belongs to.
Features Include:
* Online look-up by phone number or last name.
* Pop-up color menus, and scrolled look-up displays.
* Built-in Multi-user/LAN support (LAN version only).
* File encryption.
Registered version also contains:
* Copying (cloning) of records, to help build the database faster.
You can make a single model record, and make many copies, and
change what you want.
* Multiple add mode, so that you can make repeated adds without having
to keep depressing the INS key.
* Single key database add confirmations.
* Printing to LPT1-4, disk file or screen. Non-registered version
defaults to PRN device.
* Multi-level password security (LAN version only).
* System administrator program to allow USERID creation and assignment,
security levels etc. (LAN version only).
The program uses "pop-up windows", and a person can become proficient
in its use in a matter of minutes. It is very "intuitive", and with a
little "play", most features become readily apparent. This cuts down on
training time, and reduces documentation size (amen!). We hate to have
to constantly look things up in manuals, and have made the program very
"friendly"!
Configuring your system:
You must insure that the "CONFIG.SYS" file in the root directory contains
a statement allowing AT LEAST 20 files to be opened, as follows:
FILES=20
Certain systems will need to increase this number, especially LAN
servers.
It is recommended that a hard drive be used, and all files should be placed
in the same directory.
No special installation is required. Just copy the files to the subdirectory
that you want it to create files in. To execute, type:
CALLER.EXE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Special configuration information:
We also have put in an automatic screen saver, so the screen will blank out
after 10 minutes. Just depress a space to un-blank it. You can change it
to a different value, or eliminate the feature entirely, as follows:
CALLER V=0 disables the feature
CALLER V=5 blanks the screen after 5 minutes
CALLER V=X blanks the screen after X number of minutes
To disable the Beep on error feature, just start the program as follows:
CALLER /B=NO
To use the program with an enhanced keyboard, with some "compatibles" you
may need to start the program as follows:
CALLER /E
If your computer has problems with this program automatically setting keyboard
locking, (some programs and "compatibles don't like it) start the program as
follows:
CALLER /L
Many monitors will work better with the "fast video" option. Some CGA monitors
will produce "snow" on the screen when this is used, so you may want to try it
and see if it improves performance. To do so, start the program as follows:
CALLER /F
You can also combine options. For example, if you want to disable "beep on
error", and use the "fast video" option, start the program as follows:
CALLER /B=N /F
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Desqview information:
There is nothing special you have to do to run it under Desqview, other than
make the "MEMORY SIZE" on screen one 420K and the "MAXIMUM PROGRAM MEMORY
SIZE" on the second screen of program options window 640K (even though you
don't have it, and the program won't use it.)
Also note that under Desqview, screen saver and beep on errors are
automatically disabled. to allow them to run in background.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
General System Requirements:
The program is compatible with any IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 or 100%
compatible, operating on DOS version 2.0 or higher (3.1 recommended
for networks), and having 512K, a monochrome or color monitor,
and virtually any 80 column printer (if you want printed reports.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced LAN installations:
Some companies put the program in one subdirectory, and then put a "path"
statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Note that files have to be duplicated
in each subdirectory, but this allows the option of discrete message bases
for different departments, as well as different reference information, etc.
Each subdirectory can have its own separate USER ID tables, as another
layer of security.
Example: MD \ONLINE
Copy CALLER.EXE into that subdirectory.
Add the statement into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
PATH <drive> \ONLINE
Create subdirectories for each department:
MD \OPERAT
MD \SALES
MD \MGMT
MD \ENGR
etc.
Some servers using DOS version 4.01 may have to include the following
statement in the CONFIG.SYS file only IF you receive the DOS error
"ACCESS DENIED":
INSTALL=C:\SHARE.EXE /L:200 /F:4096
Some LAN's, when more than one copy of the program is executing at
the same time you receive a "Share Violation" error. This can happen on
some LAN's that open executable programs for write access, even though our
program does not have to be opened in that manner, as we do not write to
the executable program file, only data and key files. You may have to
re-flag the .exe file for read only access, either with a LAN command, or
sometimes the DOS attribute command will work. You may want to try:
ATTRIB +R CALLER.EXE
This changes the CALLER.EXE program file to "read-only" status and many LAN
packages will not try to open it in "Share" mode, and the errors will
disappear. This has worked in most cases, and is not an error in our
program, but in how the LAN protects itself.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
