WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! - 30 DAY FREE TRIAL PERIOD ONLY!!!!!!
=========================================================================
AFTER 30 DAYS YOU MUST REGISTER THIS PROGRAM OR DELETE IT OFF OF YOUR
SYSTEM. YOU MAY DO THIS ON ONE (1) COMPUTER ONLY. YOU MAY RUN THIS ON A
LAN SYSTEM WHICH GIVES YOU ACCESS TO TWO OR MORE COMPUTERS. THE UNREGISTERED
VERSION WILL ONLY RUN NODES 0 & 1 ALL OTHERS WILL BE IGNORED.
NOTES:
These DOC's are simple and easy to understand just changed the config
file to your information and your ready to rock and role. This program
was written in and compiled with Visual Basic. I hope you enjoy
this program and use it until your heart is content providing you register
it after the 30 day trial period.
The activity log is not limited to node 1. IT IS MULTI-NODE.
The output file is not limited to Hello screen you can have it as bulletin
or as your goodbye screen. I run the program after the caller logs off,
and use it as a Hello screen.
Change the colors to what every you want. I put this feature in to let
you decide what you want for colors and not me.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! C A U T I O N !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When running the installation process, place all file either on a floppy or in
a directory by themselfs. If you run from a directory that has other files in
them it will move ALL files from that directory to the new one.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The install feature puts my defaults in and you can change them by using the
back arrow key. Each field will stop at the limits I've set. If your using
a longer subdirectory than I've used in my example just let me know and I'll
increase the size.
Makes up a dummy directory or run from any floppy your choice. Then type in
CALLERS INSTALL <press enter> and follow the instruction.
> If for some reason the install feature fails, just review the sample
>>>>> config below make changes as necessary and save as CALLERS.CFG.
> Then put all files into your new CALLERS directory.
Then put callers.exe in your postcall.bat file so it runs after logoff
Command lines are:
CALLERS TODAY <--use for todays callers, I run it after each caller
logs off.
CALLERS YESTERDAY<--use for yesterdays callers display, you only need
to run this once a day. I run it just before I
delete my activity logs.
CONFIG FILE BREAK DOWN:
----------------------------CALLERS.CFG----------------------------------
0000000000000<----Registered # goes here or just put 13 ZERO's for unregisterd

---------------------------------CUT HERE----------------------------------
Note 1:
Make sure that you take out the extra instruction in the config files for each
line of instruction. The Install program will do this on it's own so you
won't have to worry about it unless you manually change the information your-
self.
Note 2:
The two different security levels, DON'T limit the listing from just showing
those levels, it makes those levels stand out more than the others.
Note 3:
Must be WC's @ color codes. Refer to your WC manual for exact colors.
Note 4:
This line is if you want to show your local log on's or not. "Y" means it
will "N" means it won't. NEW---If you want to show local log on', but don't want
to see the word local use "YN" it will show 14400 instead of local
ERRORS THAT MAY OCCUR:
You may get this error if the CALLERS.CFG file is missing:
*File not found in line 0 of module CALLERS at address 1B31:038D
FIX: Make sure CALLERS.CFG file is in same directory as the program
You may get this error if the .KEY file is missing:
*File not found in line 0 of module CALLERS at address 1B31:05E7
FIX: Make sure that a .KEY file is in the same directory as the program.
If it is then look in side the CALLERS.CFG file on line 4. If the
key file name is CALLERS.KEY then CALLERS must be on line 4 of the
.CFG file. If it's say COSBY.KEY then COSBY must be on line 4 of
the .CFG file.
* These errors may not read the same on your system as on my system, but you
should check for both types of errors to see which one it's refering to.
