In no way shall the components of the program's software package

expressly written permission from Michael Burke.
Tampering with or altering the contents or integrity of the
software package is prohibited. No fee may be charged by any

This program is distributed under the Shareware concept. You are
allowed to use this program for a trial period of approximately 30
days. Please register as soon as possible if you haven't already!
INTRODUCTION:
------------
This program is a great SYSOP UTILITY. It will read the LASTCALL.BBS
and CONFIG.RA file and create a RA color code file, which lists the
callers for that day, along with the Node, Baud rate, time of logon,
time of logoff, and how many times the users have called. No
command line parameters needed.
REQUIREMENTS:
------------
You need an 286+ processor with at least 512k+ RAM, Microsoft
DOS 3.3+, and RemoteAccess 2.xx. I have tried this on a 486SLC2/66
computer with 8 megabytes of RAM and Microsoft Win95. If you
have any problems with any of the following specifications, Netmail
to 1:313/3.3 (Fidonet).
WHAT DO I GET FOR REGISTERING?
------------------------------
Let me begin with telling you that Call View took a lot of time
and money to make. I have a "cheap" registration fee... I've
probably spent about $30 on Call View. $20 something going toward
the RegKey Registration System. But, N*E*ways, for Registering,
you get no delay (instead of 6 seconds), and instead of saying
UNREGISTERED EVALUATION COPY, it says REGISTERED to -- (Your Name).
Also, you can have Call View specifically designed for you! Just
fill out and send the file CHANGES.CVW along with registration to
me. I'll design Call View for your needs. Here are some examples
of what you can do by sending in CHANGES.CVW along with registration:
Make local calls display some other baud rate instead of "0"
Make local calls not show up on output screen.
Make the Sysop or other users not show up on output screen.
If you want it designed some other way, just tell me in CHANGES.CVW
and I'll try my best to get you what you want. Please register (Only
$2)

WHAT TO DO IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS
--------------------------------
Every effort is made to ensure that the program runs correctly
before it leaves my HD as Shareware. If you are experiencing
problems please do the following BEFORE calling me:
1. Read ALL the contents of CALLVIEW.DOC to ensure you have
setup the program and have met all the program requirements.
2. Make sure you have it in your RemoteAccess directory. It
still doesn't read the environment string. (YET!)
