MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
====================
486 66mhz with 8 MB Ram.  


INSTALLATION
============
The Password for SCOTLAND YARD is "DEMO".

To install Scotland Yard, run the SETUP.EXE file.

When installing SCOTLAND YARD for the first time, you should
instal SCOTLAND YARD to a network drive (and directory).  Make
sure that all users will have access to the directory that you
installed SCOTLAND YARD in (the default will be F:\SCOTLAND ).

After installing SCOTLAND YARD to the network, SCOTLAND YARD is ready
to run.  To install SCOTLAND YARD for other users, you simply need to
create a shortcut on their desktop to the SCOTLAND.EXE that you
installed onto the network.  Don't run the SETUP.EXE again on other
computers.  Doing so will re-install the SCOTLAND YARD data files
thereby erasing all changes you may have made.

Once you get in, you can go into the Employee File Management and add 
your employees.   Feel free to change or delete the employees that come 
with Scotland Yard.  The employees included are for helping you see how 
Scotland Yard works. 


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USEFULL TIPS
====================================
SCOTLAND YARD is an electronic Sign In/Out board to help track where
employees are located.  Receptionists (and anyone else that needs to
locate employees) can run the Employee Detective in SCOTLAND YARD
to list employees and their current status (IN, OUT, AT LUNCH, IN
MEETING etc.).   The Employee Detective screen is automatically
updated every minute, so any change by employees is automatically
updated in the Employee Detective screen.

Once SCOTLAND YARD is installed, Receptionists and managers can
easily determine where the employees are located.  If an employee is
away from their desk, the receptionist can create a phone message with
SCOTLAND YARD.  When the employee signs back in, they are notified
of waiting phone messages.

For users that do not have Windows '95, The Registered version of
SCOTLAND YARD includes a DOS version of the Sign In/Out screen so anyone
on the network can use SCOTLAND YARD!

The Employee Detective has many features.  When first run, all
employees are listed.  This screen uses the latest controls from
Windows '95.  You can click on any column to sort on that column.
If you click on the column a second time, you get the list in the reverse
sort order.  Right Clicking on any employee will display a pop-up menu that
will allow you can edit the employee's status, or create a phone message.

On the Tree View side of the screen, you will see that you can
list all employees, list employees by department, or list employees
by their current status (i.e., employees that are In, employees that are
out sick, out to lunch, etc.).


RUNNING SCOTLAND YARD WITH COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS:
===================================================
Scotland Yard can be run with command line parameters to automatically pass 
in the user's password so they do not have to enter their password every day.   
To pass in a password with Scotland Yard, add the users name in quotes to the 
shortcut properties in Windows 95.   (This works with the registered versions of 
SCOTLAND.EXE and SIGN_IN.EXE)

Example:   Target:   F:\APPS\SCOTLAND\SIGN_IN.EXE  "KATIE"

Scotland Yard will also look for the "User" environment variable for the 
user's password.  If a command line password isn't entered and there is no 
"User" environment variable, then Scotland Yard will prompt the user to enter 
a password.

It is important to optimize and reindex the files periodically.  We recommend 
that you reindex the files at least once a month.  It would even be better 
if you reindexed once a week!  To help facilitate this, we have added "AUTOINDEX" 
as a command line parameter to SCOTLAND.EXE that can be run with the Microsoft 
System Agent or any other scheduling program.   Running:

Example:  Target:  F:\APPS\SCOTLAND\SCOTLAND.EXE  "AUTOINDEX"

will cause Scotland Yard to reindex and optimize all files - with no user 
intervention.  Most of our customers run Scotland Yard with the "AUTOINDEX" 
feature every Wednesday Night or Friday Night after all the other users have 
been logged off.
