x-OUT4 Network In-Out Tracking System for Windows(R)
Copyright (c) 1995 by Extensions Software Corporation
Introduction
------------
x-OUT4 for Windows is a network software product from Extensions Software
Corporation that provides a low-cost, easy-to-use personnel in-out tracking
solution for modern businesses. x-OUT4 provides tracking features needed in
any workgroup environment, including:
- Checked-Out-When Date/Time
- Due-Back-In-When Date/Time
- Comments and Contacts data fields
- Alternate user access
- Multi-level user security system
- International date/time options
- Built-in administration system
- Easy to use and manage
- Online help system
- Printout options
- Network-aware of Novell NetWare(R)
x-OUT4 provides a dynamic data file to track the in-out office status of
users. This file contains the date out, time out, date due back, time due
back, optional comment information, and optional contact information. Each
user may set up default comment and contact information, thereby simplifying
entry of out status. Users may also grant alternate in-out access to other
users ... for example, a manager may grant alternate access to his/her
secretary.
Built into x-OUT4 are complete administrator maintenance functions, based on
a user-level security access system, including the following:
- System Information (system name, access type, etc.)
- In-Out Information (default in-to-out time interval, etc.)
- Activity Log (audit trail)
- Error Log (should errors occur)
- User Log (with management features)

Installation
------------
1) Create a directory that will contain the x-OUT4 supplied files. For
network installation, this directory will be READ access for users.
2) Create a directory that will contain the x-OUT4 database and index files.
For network installation, this directory must be READ/WRITE access for
users.
3) Copy the supplied files into the main directory created in step 1.
4) Create a Windows program item in the program group of your choice (ie,
Database Applications). From the Windows Program Manager, select File,
and choose New. Select Program Item. Sample entries might then be as
follows:
Description: x-OUT4
Command Line: N:\APPS\OFFICE\X-OUT4.EXE N:\APPS\OFFICE\DATA
Working Directory: N:\APPS\OFFICE
Icon: N:\APPS\OFFICE\X-OUT4.ICO
...where you MUST pass the data volume/path to the X-OUT4.EXE executable
as shown.
5) Start x-OUT4 by double-clicking on the x-OUT4 icon. x-OUT4 will
automatically create database and index files when run for the first
time.
6) Note that if you are not operating on a Novell network, you can utilize
the x-OUT4 login screen or create an X-WARE4.INI file (see the enclosed
sample file) in your Windows directory with the following entry:
