OS/2 Caller Identification. v0.99Beta r1.00a
Documentation and such is pretty sparse as I want to get some feedback on
this program. Standard disclaimers apply - the program works on my machine
without any harmful affects - I can't guarantee that it will be the same
for you.
I'm planning a PM version of this application in the not too distant future.
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or dreaded bug reports
please send them to:
Colin Longman
longman@nbnet.nb.ca
Note: My phone company only sends CID information in multiple message
format and as such, I have not been able to test the single message
format option but, it should (heard that one before?) work.
Request: I'm lousy with the Icon Editor - if someone could come up with an
icon for this and send it to me I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This program requires a Caller ID Computer Interface such as that sold by:
International MicroPower Inc.
65 Palm Drive
Camarillo, CA 93010-7996
1-800-992-3511
I am not affiliated in any way with International MicroPower Inc., they're
just the company that I bought me interface from.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:
- create a sub-directory to store the CID files
- this sub-directory does not need to be in your path if you're going
to create a folder/desktop program icon for the application
- if you want to start the program from the desktop/folder then create a
program object in one of your folders or on the desktop
- if the sub-directory that you've placed the CID.EXE file in is not
in your path then place the drive and full path in the "required" field
otherwise, you can just place the program name
- in the "parameters" field place the parms that you want based on what's
shown below
- in the "working directory" place the drive and full path of where you
placed the CID.EXE file
- a sample database.cid file is provided
Syntax: cid [-c<port_num>|-e|-d|-l|-q|-?]
-c<port_num>: where port_num is the COM port to open (default is 1)
-e: errors are logged to error.cid
-d: incoming phone numbers are checked for names in database.cid
-l: calls are logged to callers.cid
-q: prints out phone numbers and names in database.cid
-z: change ZOrder of window when call comes in
-?: displays this message
Format of database.cid is:
999-999-9999 Name Associated With This Number
9-999-9999 Name Associated With This Number
999-9999 Name Associated With This Number
999-999-9 Pattern Matching On First 7 Digits
9-999-9 Pattern Matching On First 5 Digits
999-9 Pattern Matching On First 4 Digits
Phone numbers must be in the same format as displayed by
CID in order for matching to work.
Ctrl-C: refreshes database if database functions being used
cancels program if database functions NOT being used
