WinPhone 1.20

====================================================================================
Installation Notes:
====================================================================================
Files needed to run WinPhone:
	-- phone.exe		Main program
	-- WinPhone.dll 	DLL for use by phone.exe
	-- phone.ini		used by phone.exe (optional)

Files created by WinPhone:
	WinPhone contains an answering machine, which users
	can set when they are away from their desk.
	The answering machine will create 3 files, RECMSG.PHO,
	NEWMSG.PHO, and EXPUNGE.PHO. When you create your
	answering machine message, the text is saved in RECMSG.PHO.
	When new messages arrive (from other users), they are
	stored in NEWMSG.PHO. When a message is deleted, it is not
	immediately removed from NEWMSG.PHO; rather, it is marked
	deleted and will not actually be removed until the user
	chooses to expunge. The file EXPUNGE.PHO is used as a temp
	file during the expunge operation and is usually deleted
	(unless an error occurs).

Installing WinPhone:
	There are two ways to install WinPhone. Both are shown
	below. In either case, WinPhone needs a directory in
	which to read and write files. The DLLs can be put
	in the WinPhone directory or wherever other DLLs
	reside.

	1) Choose or create a directory in which you
	   would like WinPhone files to be stored.
	   Using the MS-DOS SET command, create an
	   environment variable (called PHONE) to
	   point to the directory. For example,

	   C:\> md phone
	   C:\> SET PHONE=c:\phone.

	   To make the environment variable permanent,
	   put it in your autoexec.bat file.

	2) The second way to install phone is to simply
	   use your Windows directory. If WinPhone does
	   not find the PHONE environment variable, it
	   will default to your Windows directory.

The Phone.ini file:
	This file contains three entries. A typical phone.ini
	file is shown below:

	[phone]
	    number  = phone_name
	    comment = Welcome to WinPhone!
	    ring    = yes

	The "number" field is an ASCII string in which the user is
	identified on the network by other users. It can be up to
	15 characters long.

	The "comment" field allows a user to add a comment next to
	his or her name. The comment can be up to 31 characters long.

	The "ring" field can be set to "yes" or "no." If set to
	"yes," WinPhone will make a ringing sound like a phone.
	The default is "yes."

	When WinPhone first initializes, it will check for a phone.ini
	file.  If one exists, WinPhone will use the values given. If no
	number is given in phone.ini or no phone.ini exists, the user
	cannot call or be called until he or she configures phone. To 
	configure phone, choose the OPTIONS menu options and then 
	choose CONFIG.	Once at the config dialog box, the user can 
	enter the same values available in phone.ini.

Usage Notes:
====================================================================================
Setting your configuration:        
[choose Config from the Options menu]
	Enter text for your "name" and "comment."  Your "name" and 
	"commment" will appear to anyone trying to make a call.  Click 
	the "ring" checkbox on if you want to be beeped when someone is 
	trying to call you; leave it off if you don't.

[choose Call from the Options menu] 
	Click on the user you want to call and click "dial."  A dialog will
	appear.  "You may now type" means the other person has answered and
	you are connected; whatever you type will be transmitted to their
	machine.  "Is not listening" means the other person has quit WinPhone.
	The "answering machine" dialog means the other person is unavailable
	and a message will be displayed.  You may click "reply" if you want
	to leave a message.

Ending a call:                     
[choose Hangup from the Options menu]
	You will be disconnected from the call.

Entering an "outgoing" answering machine message: 
[choose Record Message from the Answering Machine menu]
	The "answering machine" dialog will appear.  Click on "erase" to
	clear any existing message.  Enter the message you want to display 
	when another person calls you.  Click on "save" to save the 
	message.  Click on "set recorder" to activate the answering machine; 
	when the answering machine is active, you will not be beeped for 
	incoming calls and callers may leave a message for you.

Reading "incoming" answering machine messages:
[choose Review Message from the Answering Machine menu]
	The "answering machine" dialog will appear.  Click on "next" and
	"previous" to flip through the messages that have been left for
	you.  Click on "delete" to mark a message for deletion; click on
	"expunge" to actually remove messages so marked.
