                             Smartcom v1.0
                              for Windows

                             by Tony Curro

    Hayes has released Smartcom for Windows communications software.
    Smartcom comes with dual-media, and requires approximately 4MB hard
    disk space. It is a full-featured program designed to take full
    advantage of the Windows environment.

    Features include:

    Smart Buttons. These allow users to keep common commands and
    frequently used scripts available at the click of a button.

    Smartcom for Windows Scripting Language (SCOPE). It is an easy to
    use scripting language that allows users to automate tasks and
    create scripts. Using the LEARN mode even novices can create and
    utilize scripts.

    Smartcom for Windows Communications Editor. Provides most of the
    features found in word processing software such as copy, cut, paste,
    find, word-wrap and more. The Editor also combines ANSI.SYS
    functionality so users can add color and graphic characters to the
    text.

    Smartcom has language support. These include: English, French,
    German, Italian and Spanish. You can install more than one language
    on a hard drive. Users  can switch quickly from one language to
    another. This is ideal for multinational organizations, which gives
    them the ability to standardize the software package that they use.
    One package, many languages.

    Smartcom for Windows supports all popular terminal emulations, eight
    file transfer protocols, DDE support and background operations. It
    also has context-sensitive help for both the communications program
    and the editor.

    As with Crosstalk, you must create a file for each number you call.
    There is NO dialing directory. You either double-click on the
    service you want to call, or use drag and drop. Either way, if one
    is busy, you must stop it, and then start another.

    It is specially designed for use with high-speed modems, ISDN, Hayes
    ESP Communications Accelerator, local area networking, and
    third-party TCP/IP internetworking.

    I was more impressed with this package over  Crosstalk. However, as
    with it, this package is NOT geared to a BBS user. This is also a
    package designed for the corporate environment.
