- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Welcome to DeskMail, a new software offering from TriSys Corporation. DeskMail
- provide OS/2 users with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) into the Office Vision
- for VM (OV/VM) environment. DeskMail is based on the DOS Office Direct Connect
- (DODC) feature from IBM. Some functions have been disabled from this prototype
- to ensure that it is not implemented as an end user product with this release.
-
- Unfortunately, many applications are now being written to connect to OV from
- desktop environments such as DOS and Windows, but no one seems to be offering
- any solutions for OS/2. It is our opion that this is due to a lack of
- understanding OS/2 and how its strengths can be exploited for software of this
- type.
-
- With this software, we are interested in feedback with how it should look and
- feel to the end user. If you let us know how you would like this application
- to look and feel, it will be placed into the "real" application. If you have
- specific needs that may be unique to your company (perhaps a special look)
- please also let us know. We are more than happy to create customized software
- solutions for your company.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Installing DeskMail is a simple task ... simply unzip the DESKEXE.ZIP file into
- the directory you will be running the program from. If you plan to test this
- on a network, you will need to run the INSTALL program once the files have been
- unzipped. The INSTALL program will update the SYSINI.INI file in the current
- directory. This INI file contains information on the system defaults for the
- program, as well as location information for the user customizable INI file.
- Once you have installed DeskMail, you can run the change configuration option
- to change the user defaults.
