Thank you for your interest in Notify! - a simple and non-intrusive
way to notify end-users of incoming e-mail!
You must unzip the VDLOS2.ZIP file in the same directory in which
you install the Notify! Application (OR elsewhere within your
LIBPATH statment). This ZIP file was retrieved from the Lotus
Communications Forum on compuserve and contains the Latest Rev
of the VIM DLLs needed to run Notify! and other VIM enabled applications.
For ease of use, copy all of the accompanying files to a shared Network
directory and add ?:\NOTIFY.EXE to the end users Startup.cmd file.
The DLLs must be loadable by each workstation - this can be accopmlished
by making the directory in which the Notify.exe file is located, the
current directory, then run the application. Be Sure that a .; is included
in the LIBPATH statement of the CONFIG.SYS file so that DLLs in the
current directory are searched for first.
(Using a Network Drive makes it easier to terminate the Notify
command company wide).
Upon running Notify! for the first time on each system, C:\OS2\NOTIFY.INI
will be created. You must first Log in to the end-users e-mail before
continuing with the application. When promped, enter the Post Office
directory, User Name, and password. After successfully logging on, the
Notify will not require this procedure again, unless you choose Re-initialze
in the settings window.
Why did I write this?
Under OS/2, there isn't a notify command for cc:Mail that I have found
that doesn't intrude upon other applications. In fact, under certain
circumstances, I've had many systems hang due to the notify that comes with
cc:Mail being run on the system. Shutdowns have also been quite a problem.
This Notify will take care of that - it is purely Presentation Manager, so
DOS and Windows apps are not disturbed. (However, realize that when in
a fullscreen mode for OS/2, DOS, or windows, the popup window will NOT
display over the top of the running app - this will only occur under
Presentation Manager.)
What does it cost?
This is shareware, if you use this application for more than thirty
days, you are expected to register it. The cost is quite minimal,
$1 per workstation is a reasonable amount I believe. (With a Cap of
$100 - if you have 250 workstations, only 100 licenses at most are
required to be payed for.)
By registering it, you are not only doing an honest thing, but I will
send you the new version that will allow you to specify where the INI
file is located and the name of it (For multiple Notify's per system)
