SHAREWARE:

Accesses is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your
friends, copy to bulletin boards, but do not alter the original
ZIP file.

You must read "Product Disclaimer & Registration Form" in
ACCESSES.HLP to  be aware of the Disclaimer and to learn how to
TEMPORARILY REGISTER ACCESSES TO AVOID THE NAG Windows!

	     ...CALL ME, CALL ME, CALL ME...
       If you need assistance installing Accesses.

Please read at least until you see the asterisk separator.
	ie: ************ so the INI file is properly setup!

Everyone should read CHANGES.TXT.  CHANGES.TXT covers many user
requested additions to Accesses that are "special features" and
are sometimes not documented in ACCESSES.HLP.

ACCESSES.ZIP (sometimes called ACCESS.ZIP or ACC30d.ZIP) contains
3 programs and files for Windows 3.1 (and due to run-time dynamic
linking these programs are also Window 3.0 compatible).  In the
WIN 3.1 mode Accesses supports Drag Drop and Font changes.  All
but AccDrop is also Win 3.0 compatible. This ZIP file is a
complete package and contains:

	README.TXT	This file.

	ACCESSES.EXE	The main program. Places windows,
			launches programs, launches whole
			desktops, calls your phone, notifies
			you when alarms are set, launches
			programs based on alarm settings.
			Accesses is a must for Intermediate to
			Advanced Windows users. Supports Drag
			Drop and Font Changes.

	ACCDRIVE.EXE	Tiny pop-up that displays the free
			drive space. Accesses must be running
			before this program will operate since
			Accesses provides "the engine" to run
			the pop-up. The pop-up is a "bare bones"
			program and will NOT operate without
			Accesses! In Win 3.1, AccDrive can be
			configured with a Program name for
			Drag Dropping.

	ACCDROP.EXE	"Ack Drop" Windows 3.1 ONLY.
			Drag Drop program. Each instance
			launched will launch Documents
			Drag Dropped with the user defined
			program. See ACCESSES.WRI. Accesses
			must be running.

	ACCKERNL.EXE	AccKernl is not a "real Windows program"
			but just a "Windows Command" that Windows
			will run then close.  See ACCESSES.WRI.
			Place in Windows directory.

	ACCESSES.HLP	The help file in Windows HELP format,

	ACCESSES.WRI	An abbreviated Windows write Technical
			document.  Contains the Tutor.

	CHANGES.TXT	Required reading for previous Accesses
			version users. VERY INTERESTING
			READING FOR OTHERS!

	NORTON.TXT	An important note to Norton Desktop
			users.

	REGISTER.FRM	Registration Information.

	VENDOR.TXT	Shareware and Vendor info.

	ANTHEM.SND	Small text format sound files that
	BIRTHDAY.SND	Accesses can read and send sounds
	CHARGE.SND	to your computer's speaker. (Drag and
	LOSE.SND	drop file name on Accesses or launch
	MARY.SND	from a timer, etc.)  This function
	SCALES.SND	uses your computer's speaker and NOT
	TWINKLE.SND	your Sound board. (A poor-man's sound
	WIN.SND		feature.)

The confusion with Accesses name is that CompuServe is limited
6 characters and another Windows program is called ACCESS.

You MUST Place ACCESSES.EXE, ACCKERNL.EXE, ACCESSES.HLP and
ACCESSES.WRI in the same directory as the TASKMAN.EXE windows
program. You must have ACCESSES.HLP and and ACCESSES.WRI installed
for the installation to work properly. After about a week, you can
delete ACCESSES.HLP and ACCESSES.WRI if you are short on disk space.
The TUTOR is in ACCESSES.WRI.

Accesses creates ACCESSES.INI when Accesses is 1st started & if an 
ACCESSES.INI doesn't already exist.

REMEMBER THREE IMPORTANT ITEMS FOR ACCESSES:

1.	FILE EXTENSIONS ARE PREFERRED but not required

2.	You MUST go thru the TUTOR in ACCESSES.WRI.

3.	Use your phone number when testing the phone calling
	function (and not mine).

To Norton Desktop USERS:  READ NORTON.TXT NOW!

Follow these steps BEFORE LAUNCHING ACCESSES for the 1st time...

During the installation process you will automatically be storing 
currently opened window positions to your ACCESSES.INI file.  All
of this can be easily edited by Accesses later but it helps to
do some now.  You can easily modify the setup from Accesses later!

1.   Make a backup copy of your SYSTEM.INI file NOW.  I will ask
you if I can add taskman.exe=accesses.exe to your SYSTEM.INI file
during the installation. (This change is not required but strongly
recommended.

2.   open one copy each of 5 or 6 of your most frequently 
used programs before running ACCESSES.  If you're running
windows in the Enhanced (386) Mode, open a DOS window as well and
place the DOS window where you want it to be placed.

If you are running Norton Desktop, restore (not maximized and
not minimized) the folders and drive windows of Norton.
Read NORTON.TXT.

3.   For now, Close or minimize duplicate programs. For example,
Run only one 'Notepad'.

4.   Move these programs to the window positions that you 
want them to normally be in when in the 'Restored' (not maximized 
and not minimized) positions. USE THE RESTORED POSITION for all 
of these WINDOWS.  Tutor explains how to change any or all of
these positions if you want to make changes later - it's easy.

3.   Then launch ACCESSES for the 1st time.
