duplication and/or modification of the program or the accompanying

TERMS
-----
This version of Private Secretary(tm) is distributed as ShareWare.
You may evaluate the program for up to 30 days. If you continue
using the program beyond that period, you are required by copyright
law to pay the registration fee of $25, or delete all uncompressed
copies of the program and its supporting files.
You may share unregistered copies of the program to other
individuals, clubs, groups and local BBS services. You may not
charge for it or distribute it on media for which a charge is made
without permission from Integrated Support Technology. If you wish to
distribute copies to National or International BBS services or other
major distribution channels, please contact Integrated Support
Technology first to insure these services get the most recent
version.
If you received the program in the original compressed file format,
it will not include the data files that Private Secretary creates
automatically and this is the BEST way to pass it on since it will
insure that the recipient will get the complete file package with
documentation.
!! IMPORTANT !!
If you do not have the compressed file package, and wish to share
copies of the program, be sure to copy the complete file package as
described below. However, DO NOT distribute the files with the "PS_"
prefix or your settings and phone numbers could be distributed
world-wide in a matter of months. I will get lots of calls because
the default settings weren't set right and you will get lots of
unexplained pages or calls. If you received the "PS_" files with the
program, DELETE them before you run the program for the first time.
Private Secretary will make a fresh set just for you. At the DOS
prompt>DEL PS_*.DAT, will do the trick.

SUPPORT
-------
Private Secretary is a fully supported program.
Prior to program registration, free technical support is available
via E-mail, FAX or postal correspondence at the numbers and
addresses listed under Registration, which are answered promptly.
While these are always the preferred methods, If you do not have
access to these forms of communication, you may call (408) 370-1773.
The best time to call is between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM Pacific Time
Mon-Sat. If you get a recording, please leave a detailed message
regarding your question, allow at least 24 hours to formulate a
solution and then try again.
=====================================================================
INITIAL START UP
----------------
When Private Secretary starts the first time, it will present the
"Auto Registration" screen. If you are not yet registered, just
answer N (no) and skip to the next paragraph. If you have a
previously registered version, place this version in the same
directory as your registered copy and your settings files, and have
your serial number handy. Answer Y (yes), and this version will lead
you through the automatic registration sequence and will use your
existing settings, adding any new features to them when it starts up.
After the credits screen, Private Secretary creates a series of small
files it uses to store program settings, phone numbers and reminder
times as outlined above. As part of this sequence, it will bring up
the Phone Number settings screen the first time it runs. What it is
asking for is the phone number of your pager or another phone that
you want it to call when it notifies you of calls received. You can
enter a number when the screen comes up or just press ENTER and bring
it up under the Settings Menu later.
=====================================================================
--------------------------------------------
PSReadMe Page 4 September 1995
GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------
One IMPORTANT concept to remember is that Private Secretary does not
hear or send voice information (it leaves that task to your answering
machine). It does its thing by detecting the ring signal sent to it
by your modem and then uses the modem to dial out to you and send you
a series of touch tones to identify itself and send you a "Digital
Message". It does not know, and therefore can not report, who called
or what the message was. You get this information by retrieving the
messages on your answering machine. Through use of special ring
timing sequences (explained in more detail in the PSGUIDE), it can be
set up to recognize when you are retrieving your messages and not to
dial out for those calls.
Private Secretary requires the following hardware:
* Hayes/AT compatible auto-dial modem.
* Any standard remote call pick-up answering machine.
(to provide the voice-mail capabilities)
* P/C AT or higher w/CGA monitor or higher.
(some XTs may work depending on the manufacturer)
* DOS 3.1 or higher. (lower versions MAY work)
* Digital Pager Service (Recommended)
Because Private Secretary waits for a response at the sign on screen,
the power failure (restoration) reporting feature of Private
Secretary will not work until the program is registered. Once
Private Secretary is registered, the sign on/sign off screens will go
away and Private Secretary will run without intervention allowing the
power fail reporting feature to perform when selected by the user.
Although it would greatly reduce the cost of distribution, it is not
feasible to attempt to include the 40+ page illustrated manual in the
file package (the source for which is nearly a half a megabyte).
Formatting the illustrations with ASCII characters,just so we could
do so, would not do justice to the program or to you. Therefore, the
documentation supplied is not intended to replace the manual but
hopefully will provide enough basic information for you to get
Private Secretary up and running quickly and give it a good work out.
If you encounter any problems, see the support section above.
