Short: Send alpha-numeric pages to beepers

WHAT IT DOES
============

The CyberPager software allows one to send alpha-numeric pages from one's
Amiga.  This is accomplished by dialing into an IXO protocol compliant
pager central and uploading messages.

FEATURES
========

o   Aliases file allows for commonly paged people to be refered to by
    name rather than having to remember cryptic PIN numbers.

o   Groups file allows one to create "groups" allowing messages to
    be easily sent to many people working on the same project, in the
    same department, etc.

o   Supports multiple pager centrals through a Services configuration
    file.

o   Any number of messages can be spooled to disk to be uploaded in
    a single call to a service.

o   Automatically breaks long messages up into seperate pages.  Individual
    preferences for maximum message length can be set for each account
    listed in the aliases file.

o   Dialer supports multiple modems and knows how to hunt down a free
    modem in priority order.

o   Full logging of messages spooled, dialout attempts, etc.

o   Supports the OwnDevUnit.library method of locking serial devices,
    making the dialer compatible with mith Amiga UUCP, Welmat, and
    many major Amiga terminal programs.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
===================

Any Amiga running AmigaDOS 2.0 or higher.
A Hayes compatible modem.
OwnDevUnit.library v2.1 or higher must be installed (v3.3 is included
    with this distribution for those that don't already have ODU)

Highly recommended:
	A hard drive
	A cron program (job scheduler) of some sort, such as CyberCron.

HISTORY
=======

1.0
	Initial release

1.1	(7/10/93, SpoolPage v0.136, DialIXO v0.219, library v1.23)
	A bug in the checksum generator manifested itself when talking
	to services which are more strict about the IXO protocol.
	Many IXO services accept a space instead of a zero in the checksum.
	Some, like SkyTell, appear not to.  DialIXO now uses zeros per
	the IXO spec as written by Motorolla.

	Added a loglevel 4 entry to DialIXO that causes it to log the
	exact packet being sent to the service when uploading each
	page.

	Added a routine to intelligently add characters to the safe
	buffer (i.e., non-printable characters converted to escaped
	hex, etc, for display purposes).  DialIXO know displays
	special characters of the IXO protocol, such as ACK, NAK, STX,
	etc., as text rather than hex escape sequences to make
	tracing loglevel 5 output easier.

1.2	(7/20/93, SpoolPage v0.136, DialIXO v0.220, library v1.23)
	Found a bug that affected people running KickStart V37.  The
	wildcard mask DialIXO used to look for spool files would not
	find any that had a letter in them (i.e., 00000a as opposed
	to 000009 which would work).  This was due to the mask having
	the alpha range specified in lowercase.  V37 has a bug that
	doesn't uppercase alphabetic letters when a case-insensitive
	compare is being made.  By changing the mask to specify the
	alphabetics in uppercase, things now work properly on V37
	machines.  Thanks to Nickey MacDonald <i6t4@jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca>
	for reporting this problem.
