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.
