General information:
This program is designed to manage phone directories and phone messages.
Features include:
* Online look-up of people by name, phone number, location, employment status,
department, special treatment of calls, alternate phone number etc.
* Online creation, updating, viewing and management of messages.
* Generates reports based on various criteria, including phone directories
with the option of being sent to printer, screen, or disk file for
later processing.
* Pop-up color menus, scrolled look-up displays, and context-sensitive help.
* Online look-up of misc. phone numbers, such as general voice or FAX
numbers for various departments, other commonly called companies, etc.
* 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.
It can be used on a single PC, and can easily be used by telephone
operators, clerks, receptionists, secretaries, sales people, managers,
and anyone else that deals with the phone.
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"!
The program has context-sensitive help, in that practically anywhere you
are in that program help is just a keystroke away (F1).
The opening menu has the following options:
Operator scan: Lets you browse thru the directory database by persons last
name, and you can view and modify the phone list database,
using scrolled windows. You can also instantly change an
active message or add a new message, by depressing F8 and
F9 respectively, after going to this mode.
Management menu: Lets you browse thru database by Last name, location,
department, employment status (active former, etc),
phone number, etc, using scrolled windows, and
add/delete/modify the database entries. Also you can
access the menu of reports, that can be sent to your
screen, a printer (LPT1-LPT4), or a disk file for later
word processing.
Lets you access the Misc numbers database.
Lets you print "Open" or "Held" messages, or scan "Held"
messages, and easily change "printout status".
Add a message: Lets you add a new message, delete, view, or modify a current
message by LAST NAME in a scrolled window..
View a message: Lets you view or delete only currently active messages using
a scrolled window, by last name.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuring your system:
You must insure that the "CONFIG.SYS" file in the root directory contains
a statement allowing AT LEAST 50 files to be opened, as follows:
FILES=50
Certain systems will need to increase this number.
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:
PHONE.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:
PHONE V=0 disables the feature
PHONE V=5 blanks the screen after 5 minutes
PHONE V=X blanks the screen after X number of minutes
To disable the Beep on error feature, just start the program as follows:
PHONE /B=NO
To use the program with an enhanced keyboard, with some "compatibles" you
may need to start the program as follows:
PHONE /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:
PHONE /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:
PHONE /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:
PHONE /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.
