ELSEWARE - PC DOS REMOTE ACCESS - (C)1989 by Kevin Kiley
Release 2.1 - July 19, 1989
INTERLINK TECHNOLOGIES
P.O. BOX 49646
SARASOTA, FLA. 34230-6646
WHAT IS 'ELSEWARE'?
ELSEWARE is a set of programs which will allow you to use
your PC from anywhere. ELSEWARE is identical to commercially
available software which makes the same claim with one important
exception...
ELSEWARE is free.
One of my responsibilities is to write and support voice
response and recognition software. Most of the systems
are on the other side of the country and finding the right
remote access software was very important.
What I discovered is that all the programs available commercially
which allow you to use a PC from remote take up too much memory
and are too sluggish. Some of the voice response systems
would not leave enough DOS CORE memory to allow any of the
commercial programs to load. There is also a general lack of
ability to control the time slicing with any of the commercial
programs and this is something I had to have in order to support
certain voice response systems remotely.
So I wrote my own and have used it successfully ever since.
The EWH.EXE host module requires ONLY 8K ( 8000 bytes! ) and
is as fast if not FASTER than any commercial remote access
software I have tried.
If you are looking for fancy help screens and setup screens
then you can wait for a new release of ELSEWARE. This release
is the version I have been using for quite some time and
it includes only what's necessary to get the job done. That's
all I need and I am assuming there are others out there
who have the same minimum requirements.
ELSEWARE is FREEWARE, not SHAREWARE. You can copy and distribute
it as freely as you like. No strings attached. It has served
me well and I hope it will do the same for you.
PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION
The documentation is in plain ASCII format and contains
FORM FEED characters.
Just use 'COPY EW.DOC PRN' to send the documentation to
the printer. The files should end up on paper properly
paginated and ready to be punched with holes on the left.
