Introducing WinPage Express
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use WinPage Express to send messages to pagers. Store pager 
addresses in your existing MAPI address book.

WinPage Express is a free program and you can copy it to as 
many friends as you want.

The program is still very simple and has just a few features.
I'm relying on you - the users - to tell me what new features 
would you want to see in the up comming versions.

======================================================================
INSTALLATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To install, run the program setup.exe and following the instructions.


======================================================================
FEATURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Send Messages to Pagers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With your PC, you can send text messages to pagers. WinPage 
Express uses your modem to send the message to the paging 
company, which will in turn send the wireless message to the 
pager.

TAPI Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~
WinPage Express use the Telephony Application Programming 
Interface to communicated with your modem. Therefore, as long 
as your modem in installed to your systems, WinPage Express 
will know how to use it, no setting up necessary.

MAPI Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~
WinPage Express allows users to store pager address in their 
Windows Address Book. Once they are entered, Address Book entries 
can be paged by simply clicking on them.

IXO Paging Protocol Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WinPage Express supports the IXO/TAP paging protocol to communicate 
with the paging companies. New protocols can be installed by adding 
dynamic link libraries to the WinPage Express home directory.

Other installable protocols in works:
  SNPP
  TNPP
  STD

======================================================================
KNOWN PROBLEMS AND BUGS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following lists the problems that I've come across in the program
but haven't caught and fixed the bug yet:

- BugRef: 1002
  If the tutorial help window is closed by the user, a "zombie" 
  winhelp32 process is stuck in the system. From then onwards,
  WinPage Express would not be able to start another tutorial
  session. To fix it, call up the Task manager and terminate the
  winhelp32 process.

- BugRef: 1003
  When a new user is created in the address book, if then the user
  opens up the address book from his mail agent (Exchange for example).
  The new user will not have a bussiness and home tabs. Don't know
  why yet - probrably used the wrong TEMPLATE or missed a property.
  But the entry will function fine otherwise.

NOTES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Thanks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wouldn't be able to finish this program without the help from the
following people:

- My wife, Queenia, who waited for me for all the late nights and help
  me test the programs. Her commnets made the program much more user
  oriented and friendly. Thanks!

- My Brother, Sultan, who's been my mentor since I was a kid. And he 
  still is and will always be. Thanks!

There are many other people I want to thank too, but this list is just
not long enough. (Thanks, guys!)
