MSGRABER.EXE
Copyright 1991 by John L Dilley, CCP
This program is NOT Public Domain. It is being distributed on the
shareware basis. If you use this program, you are expected to
register it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM DESRIPTION:
Msgraber is a utility to prevent system messages from bringing
your workstation to a screaming halt. When a message arrives
at your workstation, a special alert tone will be sounded, and
the message buffered to be read at your convenience. Simply
press <CTL><ALT><ENTER> to read the messages that have been
buffered. The buffer currently holds 5 messages. When the
buffer is full, the alert tone will sound continuously until
you read your messages. However, jobs that you have running
will continue to run.
To load Msgraber, simply type MSGRABER at the command line.
To remove Msgraber from memory type MSGRABER R.
This version of Msgraber is the full version, the same you
receive when registered.
I have decided to go ahead and release the full version for
shareware distribution so people can start getting the full
benefits immediately.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caveats and warnings:
This program requires shell version 3.01 or later. These shells
are available from Netwire if you do not have them. You cannot
popup messages from inside graphic screens, such as Windows.
We have run into one situation where the alarm seems to get stuck
on. Though we have seen it, we have been unable to determine what
circumstances cause it. If this should happen to you, type
MSGRABER R to remove msgraber. This will only work if MSGRABER is
the last TSR loaded, so you may have to unload other TSRs first.
Then press CTL-ALT-ENTER to clear your messages.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
