**********************************************************************
Please read the information below carefully to be informed of new
features and any changes to the software since the on-line help was
last updated.
Call Center
==================
This version of COMponents includes the new Call Center
interface. This interface is a replacement for the standard
COMponent Server interface. Both have been included in this version
and have an icon created for them in the COMponents Folder. Only
one of these may be run at a time.

1. CHANGES AND BUG FIXES
===================================
a. Changes Since v3.5.7
1. Substantial support for record and playback using a sound card.
We support modems that handle PCM directly and those that use
Rockwell 4-bit ADPCM and USR GSM 6.1.
2. Enhanced error detection and recovery to help ensure proper
operation of voice modems.
b. Changes Since v3.5.6
1. Modems are connected directly via the COM port rather than
through TAPI be default. TAPI provides better COM port sharing
between applications. Every effort has been made to ensure
that when COMponents is connected to a modem via a TAPI line that
all features are available. However, due to the complex nature
of this technique we can't warrant perfect operation on all
modems. See section 2a to learn how to enable TAPI for COMponents
if you require COM port sharing. If you encounter difficulties
we suggest you switch back to direct COM port operation by
disabling TAPI line detection as described in section 2a.
2. We are proud to offer additional Internet based communications
services with COMponents. Information on these services has been
placed in the COMponents Group. Check it out to see the great
services offered and for a free Internet phone conferencing
trial.
c. Changes Since v3.5.5
1. Added Call Center interface.
2. Added option to Debug Options dialog to disable TAPI line
auto detection. If you are experiencing difficulties when
using a TAPI line, TAPI auto detection can be turned off by
opening the About box on the Options menu and then clicking
on the Info button while holding the CTRL and SHIFT keys down.
This will bring up the Debug options dialog allowing you to
turn off TAPI auto detection. The next time the application is
run, a direct line can be setup by selecting Line/Modem Setup
from the Options menu.
3. Fixed occasional problem with line not being answered when
ringing.
d. Changes Since v3.5.4
1. Added support for USR 56K.
2. Fixed occasional GPF when starting COMponent Workspace
or COMponent Server when running Dialup Networking patch
or Windows 95 OSR2.
3. Fixed problem with multiple TAPI lines using same modem.
e. Changes Since v3.5.3
1. TAPI lines more rubust under Windows 95. This fixes problems with
corrupted fax images being received on the remote fax.
2. Fixed occasional lockup when removing multiple entries from
the schedule queue during fax job completion.
3. Fixed occasional GPF during fax send using class 1 fax protocol.
4. Fixed re-dial attempts and status not being reset for individual
destinations during fax re-send operations.
5. Fixed occasional GPF when dragging and dropping fax pages in Layout View
of the VIEWCOMponent.
6. Fixed occasional index file corruption in phone list.
7. Playing and recording of voice messages more rubust through the
Play/Record dialog.
8. Fixed WAV file playback when using long filenames.
f. Changes Since v3.5.2
1. Fixed problem with receiving "Failure to Initialize" error
during fax send operations.
2. Fixed problem with receiving "Invalid File Format" error
when installing over previous version of COMponents.
3. Fixed problem with receiving General Protection Fault when
closing COMponent Workspace or COMponent Server with multiple
TAPI lines.
4. Fixed problem with support for multiple TAPI lines.
5. Fixed problem with fax send operations occuring while a
DATACOMponent window open on the same line while in
interactive mode.
2. NEW FEATURES
==================
We have tried hard to include many requested features in this
latest version. Here is a list of the major changes.
a. TAPI Location/Dialing support
---------------------------------
You can configure COMponents to look at your TAPI location
setup when trying to calculate dialable phone number. Yes, it's true!
This means that you can now use Credit Cards and the built in
Toll list to your heart's content. Just go to Options/Location Setup...
to configure your current location to use TAPI rather than our own
built in location information! Which ever TAPI location you have
setup as the default under Windows will be used when dialing using
COMponents with this feature turned on.
b. Multiple Selection in the Phone Lists
-----------------------------------------
Hard to believe, but the long awaited mulitple selection in phone lists
has finally been implemented, once again, thanks to Scott. Now you
really can highlight multiple entries and drag them onto a group all at
once. You can also select multiple entries in the FaxWizard and create
easy "on-the-fly" group sends.
c. New and Improved user interface
-----------------------------------
Schedule Queue
==============
The fax schedule queue has been improved to allow viewing of each
destination in the send rather than the entire job only. This means you
can now see the "real-time" status of any destination in a large job and
get an overview of the status of all jobs. From the Queue window in the
FAXCOMponent just double click to exand and contract jobs.
FaxWizard - Destination Page
============================
All keyboard/tabbing/Mnemonic issues have been resolved. Keyboard only
users can now navigate the FaxWizard with much more ease.
Line/Modem Setup
================
One new page has been added for FAX32COMponents and two new pages have
been added for TELECOMponents.
Chipset Tab
===========
Help on this new tab has not been implemented in the online help system
yet so this is your primary source of information.
The Chipset Tab allows the end user more control over how that Fax Protocol
treats their modem. Normally these values are preset in our Config files
(.CFG), but now that we support TAPI, we don't always have the proper
information required about the hardware to make our Fax Protocol perform
optimally. The settings in this dialog allow you to modify the Major and
Minor chipset types that are used by our software internally.
If you are having trouble with sending or receiving faxes using a TAPI line
or a COMponents line for which we didn't supply an exact cofig file, you
can play with these two values to see what combination works best.
Ideally, you should select a Major Chipset number that most closely matches
the model or type of modem you have. The Minor Chipset number is used to
fine tune the behavior of the protocol. You'll just have to try different
values to find what works best.
Telephony Tab (TELECOMponents ONLY!)
==============
Help on this new tab has not been implemented in the online help system
yet so this is your primary source of information.
The Telephone Tab allows you to fine tune the behavior of the Voice Mail
subsystem. As with the Chipset Tab you should change these values only
if you are having difficulty with VoiceMail or if we did not provide an
exact config file for your modem and you are experiencing trouble.
Select the closest match from each drop-down for your modem. The other
controls in the dialog represent functionality that is supported by
TELECOMponents VoiceMail, but may not be supported by your hardware. Check
your modem manual to ensure that only the features supported by your
hardware are enabled in this dialog.
d. Speed improvements
----------------------
Speed improvements should be noticable especially in initialization and modem
resetting. Also when queue up a large number of destinations for fax sending.
For adding large groups (> 100 records) in the FaxWizard the speed is 11x faster
at least!
e. Enhanced .wav file conversion support
-----------------------------------------
For modems that support linear PCM (.wav) formats we support sound cards
directly for both recording and playback. For USR/3COM and other modems
that support USR GSM 6.1 we have a seamless converter built in. Also
for modems that support Rockwell 4-bit ADPCM we have seamless converter
built in.

* SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE AGREEMENT AND LIMITED WARRANTY *
**********************************************************************
IMPORTANT:
Please carefully read the License Agreement before installing the
software. The right to use this V3, Inc. USA product is sold only on
the condition that the user agrees to the following license. Opening
this package and installing the software indicates your acceptance of
these terms and conditions.
Fees for Distribution of Shareware Versions
Disk Vendors, Shareware Distributors and BBS(s) may have charged a nominal fee for the
distribution of this Shareware version of CallCenter. This fee does not constitute payment
for the Licensed version of CallCenter Pro.
Definition of Shareware
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a
Shareware program and continue using it, you are required to register it (or purchase the
licensed version as in the case of CallCenter Pro in order to receive SW technical support
and SW Updates).
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail software, and the copyright holder
retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are
accomplished programmers, just like retail authors, and the programs are of comparable
quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in
the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors
require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that
suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's retail or Shareware. The Shareware system
makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the
overhead is lower, prices are lower also. Because we offer you an opportunity to try the
CallCenter shareware version free, this should be your gauge to determine whether or not
the software is going to meet your minimal requirements. If you find that the free
shareware version meets your requirements and you upgrade to the CallCenter Pro
version, you must be made aware that all sales with regard to the upgrade are final and
now refunds will be honored. Thus it is very important that you make sure that the
shareware version meets your minimal requirements as we represent. Again please be
aware ALL SALES of the CallCenter Pro are FINAL!
