You will also be notified of future updates to PhoneList. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- About PhoneList v1.0 PhoneList came into being because of how the company I worked for maintained phone lists of the employees both in the building I worked in and other offices around the country. This company handed out printed lists of people and their extension - and each time a person changed offices, or a new employee was hired, a new list was printed and distributed (to over 350 people!). PhoneList removes all the paper from the loop - and delivers the latest information on employee extensions to your desktop is a matter of seconds. It is intended to be run on a file server, so that all information is available to every employee connected to a LAN. However, PhoneList runs on a stand-alone PC as well. PhoneList is a simple, uncomplicated manager of employee extensions ap- propriate for companies who fit the scenario above, or business owners who wish to maintain a database of customers and contacts, or the MIS director to keep track of vendors, etc. PhoneList v1.0 Requirements -Microsoft Windows 3.1 -1.5MB disk space on drive where Windows is installed -100KB disk space for PhoneList executables and database file* -Suggested 386DX machine (runs slow on 386SX and below) -Suggested 2MB RAM (you can never have too much memory!) *Disk size is for initial installation.

Rights will differ for data entry persons. 1. Copy the files PHNDATA.EXE, PHNVIEW.EXE, and PHONE.MDB to a directory on your file server. Give all users RF rights to this directory and flag all files as Shareable. For data entry persons, allow RCMW rights to the PHONE.MDB file and RF to PHNDATA.EXE. (Remove RF to PHNDATA.EXE for all other users to prevent inadvertant changes to PhoneList data.) 2. For each workstation, copy all DLLs to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. (If you have a shared Windows directory on your LAN, copy the DLLs to the shared directory.) 3. For each workstation, add the line SHARE /L:500 to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 4.
