- About PhoneList v1.0
-
- PhoneList came into being because of how the company I worked for maintained
- phone lists of the employees both in the building I worked in and other
- offices around the country. This company handed out printed lists of people
- and their extension - and each time a person changed offices, or a new
- employee was hired, a new list was printed and distributed (to over 350
- people!).
-
- PhoneList removes all the paper from the loop - and delivers the
- latest information on employee extensions to your desktop is a matter of
- seconds. It is intended to be run on a file server, so that all information
- is available to every employee connected to a LAN. However, PhoneList runs
- on a stand-alone PC as well.
-
- PhoneList is a simple, uncomplicated manager of employee extensions ap-
- propriate for companies who fit the scenario above, or business owners who
- wish to maintain a database of customers and contacts, or the MIS director
- to keep track of vendors, etc.

- PhoneList v1.0 Installation - NetWare
-
- Pre-Installation:
- Decide who will be entering all the data for PhoneList. Rights will
- differ for data entry persons.
-
- 1. Copy the files PHNDATA.EXE, PHNVIEW.EXE, and PHONE.MDB to a directory on
- your file server. Give all users RF rights to this directory and flag
- all files as Shareable. For data entry persons, allow RCMW rights to the
- PHONE.MDB file and RF to PHNDATA.EXE. (Remove RF to PHNDATA.EXE for all
- other users to prevent inadvertant changes to PhoneList data.)
-
- 2. For each workstation, copy all DLLs to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. (If
- you have a shared Windows directory on your LAN, copy the DLLs to the
- shared directory.)
-
- 3. For each workstation, add the line SHARE /L:500 to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- 4. Add the appropriate programs to Program Manager - PHNDATA.EXE & PHNVIEW.EXE
- to data entry persons, and only PHNVIEW.EXE for all others.
-
- 5. Reboot the workstation.
