INTRODUCTION
------------
Thanks for your interest in WIN/OUT v1.0.  For years, organizations
have used IN/OUT boards in their reception areas to display the
status of employees.  These boards basically have names with
magnetic dots next to each name designating them as IN the office,
or OUT of the office.  Larger boards also have "White Board"
coatings that allow the receptionist to add notes to a specific
employee.  Up until now, to check on the status of an individual,
one had to walk to the reception area to check on a status, or call
the receptionist.

WIN/OUT v1.0 was written to eliminate these inconveniences and goes
several steps further.  First, the product is electronic, which
means that all members of the organization have access to the
information without having to leave their desks.  Second, the
package allows entry of specific NOTES as to the individual's
whereabouts and/or a number where he/she can be reached.  The NOTES
field can actually be anything up to 80 characters in length.
Phone numbers are also displayed for each member in the
organization.  In larger organizations, this can be a plus.  It
eliminates the need to look in the corporate directory for phone
information.  Finally, information may be updated by the individual
or by the receptionist.  The package can also be configured so that
only the receptionist can enter information.

There are two main executables in WIN/OUT.  IOADM10.EXE is the
administrator program and has full read/write access to all users
in the WIN/OUT database.  Users can be added, deleted, and updated
from this executable.  A receptionist (or the person who tracks
employees) would be the primary user of this program.  IOCLI10.EXE
is the client piece that the user will access to check on the
status of others, OR, to change his/her status.

WIN/OUT was designed and tested on a Novell NetWare local area
network (LAN).  Any network that supports file and record locking
should function with WIN/OUT.

------------
INSTALLATION
------------
This program requires Windows v3.1, 450KB of workstation RAM and
500KB of fileserver disk space to install and operate.  WIN/OUT
will work with any network operating system that supports DOS v3.30
or higher file and record locking.

The WIN/OUT files accompanied with this ZIP file should include the
following files:

     IOADM10 .EXE   - The Administrator program
     IOCLI10 .EXE   - The Client program
     IOEMP10 .DAT   - The actual WIN/OUT database
     IOSTATS .DAT   - WIN/OUT Statistics file
     VBRUN200.DLL   - Dynamic Link Library
     THREED  .VBX   - WIN/OUT .VBX File
     WINOUT10.DOC   - This file
     README  .1ST   - Pre-installation notes

The REGISTERED versions of WIN/OUT ship with the traditional
Windows SETUP.EXE installation program whereby one can insert the
distribution diskette into the drive of their choice and type
SETUPxx.  The version in your possession is a
shareware/demonstration version and is limited to 10 users.
WIN/OUT v1.0 comes in 25, 50, 100, and 200-user versions.  Pricing
and ordering information is included at the end of this
documentation.  This documentation is also an abridged version of
the actual printed documentation that ships with the product.

Installation is quite simple.

     1.   Copy VBRUN200.DLL and THREED.VBX to the Windows SYSTEM
          directory (it should be \WINDOWS\SYSTEM on most systems).
          If you are running a shared copy of Windows from your
          fileserver, install these files on the server.  If you
          run Windows from local hard drives, the two files MUST
          reside on every workstation.

     2.   Copy the rest of the files to the server in a shared
          directory.  Example: F:\WINAPPS\WINOUT
     3.   Make sure that all files on the server are flagged as
          follows:

          All *.EXE's    -    SHARABLE, READ-ONLY
          All *.DAT's    -    SHARABLE, READ-WRITE
          All *.VBX's    -    SHARABLE, READ-ONLY
          All *.DLL's    -    SHARABLE, READ-ONLY
     4.   Add the ADMINISTRATOR program (IOADM10.EXE) to the
          person's workstation who will perform the administrator
          function.  This is usually the receptionist as this
          person can visually see who is coming and going and who
          also takes calls.
