While You Were Out Shareware Version 2.0
-----------------------------------------
While You Were Out is a telephone message system like the pink While
You Were Out note pads. WYWO manages all phone messages for various users
and can be used on any DOS 3.1 or higher compatible network or on a standalone
computer system. WYWO lets you send messages to other users, store incoming
messages on file, paste messages to the Clipboard, and print messages. You
can also use passwords to protect other users from reading your messages.
If you make use of WYWO and would like the commercial version 2.0 which
eliminates the shareware screen and includes the complete printed documentation,
you can order it by mail, voice, or fax direct from Caliente for a fee of
$69.95, a $30 savings off the list price.
While You Were Out Installation
-------------------------------
To install While You Were Out:
1. Create a WYWO directory where all data files and programs will reside.
2. Copy WSETUP.EXE, WYWO.EXE, and WYWO.HLP to the WYWO directory.
3. From Windows, run WSETUP to create the user names and directories.
4. Run WYWO from Windows.
Running the WSETUP.EXE program
------------------------------
WSETUP.EXE is the administration program for WYWO. It is used to set up
all of the user names and directories for the WYWO system. It is also used
for clearing user's passwords should they forget them. WSETUP creates a
file called WYWO.DAT in the directory dedicated for the wywo system. You
will be asked for the directory's full path at the start of WSETUP. Once
entered, you will be able to add, modify or delete users that are in the
WYWO.DAT file of the specified directory. To add a user, click on the
Add button and fill in the name of the new user. Click on OK to enter the
name into the system. You can modify the user's name or clear the user's
password by either clicking on the Modify button after clicking on the
user to be modified, or just double-click on the user name itself. You can
then change the user's name or clear the user's password. To delete a
user, select the users name and click on the Delete button. Click on
the Exit button when all users have been added. You are now ready to run
WYWO.
Running the WYWO.EXE program
----------------------------
When you run WYWO for the first time on a workstation or an a standalone
PC, you wll be asked for the path where the WYWO.DAT file can be found.
You can use the file selector to search and locate the previously created
WYWO.DAT file and then select it to continue. The path of the WYWO.DAT
file can be found in the Windows WIN.INI file of each workstation. Once
the WYWO sheet is on the screen you are ready to send and receive telephone
messages. By selecting the Help button, you can get help on using any
of WYWO's functions. This is the on-line manual. To get the complete
printed documantation, fill out the enclosed order form for version 2.0
and send to Caliente along with $69.95 (a $30 saving off the $99.95 list
price).
The WIN.INI file
----------------
The Windows WIN.INI file holds a few parameters for the WYWO system for
each PC which can be modified with the Windows Notepad. The entries are:
Path= -> complete pathname for the WYWO.DAT file.
UserName= -> name of default user.
NewMessageDelayTime= -> delay time in seconds between checking for new messages.
If you would like WYWO to be loaded each time you run windows so it is always
checking for incoming messages, add WYWO.EXE to the Load= line of the WIN.INI
file.
To specify a specific default username when running WYWO, pass the name
on the command line for the WYWO icon or from the Program Manager.
