x-ROLO3 Network Rolodex System
Introduction
------------
x-ROLO3 is a network software product from Extensions Software
that provides a low-cost workgroup phone directory solution for
modern businesses. x-ROLO3 offers network users an easy means of
tracking vendor and supplier information with a simple-to-use
software system.
x-ROLO3 provides the rolodex features needed in any workgroup
environment, including:
o Company information
o Individual information
o Custom-defined company data fields
o Custom-defined individual data fields
o Multi-level user security system
o Administrator system
o Online help system
o Printout to LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, or disk file
These fully-integrated features make x-ROLO3 the only network
rolodex tool needed to boost both personal and workgroup
productivity.
Requirements
------------
For Standalone PC Use: IBM or 100% compatible computer with 384K
available memory; floppy disk drive (5.25" 360K or 1.2M, or
3.50" 720K or 1.44M); fixed disk drive; monochrome or color
(CGA/EGA/VGA) display; parallel printer (if printouts are
desired); MS/PC DOS 3.1 or higher
For Network Use: Multi-user network operating system which
utilizes MS/PC DOS file and record locking calls (ie, Banyan
VINES(R), Novell NetWare(R), etc.) and workstations that meet
the standalone PC requirements listed above. Note, however, that
workstations do not necessarily require a floppy or fixed drive.
Security System
---------------
x-ROLO3 includes a three-level user security system, whereby
each user can be assigned an access-level code.
These x-ROLO3 access-level codes are defined as follows:
o High, which allows the user to perform all x-ROLO3
activities including administration.
o Medium, which allows the user to perform x-ROLO3
activities except for administration.
o Low, which allows the user to only view/print rolodex
information.
Installation
------------
Create a subdirectory on your standalone PC or your network file
server named X-ROLO3 (actually, any name you prefer is
acceptable).
Switch to the created subdirectory.
Copy the files from the floppy diskette (or the unarchived
XROLO3.EXE demo file) to the \X-ROLO3 subdirectory.
At the DOS prompt, type X-ROLO3 and press ENTER.
x-ROLO3 will then self-install by creating the necessary database
and index files.
Since X-ROLO3.EXE is an overlayed executable file, network file
attributes must be configured for shared file use. For example,
in Banyan VINES installations, the command:
SETATTR +S -E X-ROLO3.EXE
... will set the executable file X-ROLO3.EXE for shared use.
The x-ROLO3 data drive and subdirectory may also be specified
from DOS as follows:
X-ROLO3 S:\X-ROLO3
... where S:\X-ROLO3 is the network drive and subdirectory for
the x-ROLO3 data. This configuration allows you to install the
X-ROLO3.EXE file on workstations (for faster, local loading into
RAM) while the x-ROLO3 data remains on a shared network file
service.
Initial Setup
-------------
If x-ROLO3 has been installed on a Banyan VINES or Novell
NetWare network, the user login name is obtained directly from
the operating system. For example:
Fred@Applications@Ext Soft
For other network installations, a DOS SET command may be used
to store the user name. For example:
SET X_USER=Fred
Otherwise, the user name is obtained from the login screen.
For initial x-ROLO3 installation, you will likely want to choose
ADMIN from the initial screen to access the administration menu,
from where you can customize x-ROLO3 for your own installation.
Ordering
--------
x-ROLO3 is priced at $250.00 per file server installation and
includes the latest x-ROLO3 software, desk-top-published
laser-printed user guide, and limited phone/FAX/BBS support.
Payment may be made by check or money order drawn on a US bank
in US funds. Corporate purchase orders (net 30) are acceptable
from US and Canadian companies. Mail with payment or FAX P.O.
