MessageWorks 2.11 New Features
=============================

NOTE: The changes made to MessageWorks since version 2.0 required that an
expanded file format be used.  If you already use version 2.0, your data
files will be converted to the new format automatically the first time
you run version 2.11 and take or read a message.  Make sure to upgrade all 
workstations with the new version, because version 2.0 is unable to read 
the new file format.


New features in MessageWorks 2.11 since version 2.0:

INSTALLATION

1. Installation program no longer requires the VBRUN300.DLL run-time 
   library.

2. If installing the program files on a network, you can select Configure
   Workstation Only after the first installation.  This causes the setup
   program to create configuration and icon files on the local machine
   without copying the files again unnecessarily.  This will also prevent
   sharing violations when installing onto a network while other users
   are using MessageWorks.

3. Added an option to automatically run MessageWorks at startup if desired.


MESSAGEWORKS

 1. Added Message Log field to messages when viewing in Read window.  This
    allows notes to be attached to a message that has already been taken.
    This new field can also can be searched and it prints on the message
    report.

 2. If MessageWorks is already running, the current instance of MessageWorks 
    is activated instead of loading a second copy of the program into 
    memory when the MessageWorks icon is double-clicked in Program Manager.

 3. The network version only allows messages to be sent to other users who
    have installed and run MessageWorks.  This prevents sending a message
    that is never delivered because of misspelling a name, etc.

 4. Added scroll bar to the Notes field in the Message Read window and to
    the Call Screening Response field in the R-dex window to allow longer
    input.

 5. Allows sending of the same message to more than one person by holding the
    Shift key down when clicking Send.

 6. Simplified entry of multiple callers in the R-dex with similar information
    by holding Shift when clicking New.  The record is saved but only the
    Name field is cleared.

 7. Allows canceling of search and delete functions after they have been
    started.  Also, MessageWorks does not tie up the whole system when
    searching or deleting.

 8. Added two help options on Help menu (Search and Help on Help).

 9. Added context-sensitive help, which is available at any time by
    pressing F1 or by clicking the Help button in any dialog box.

10. Added an option to choose whether the Enter key is captured by an
    edit control or if it acts like the Tab key (move to next control).
    This option is changed in File Preferences.

11. Added an option to select whether the hyphen SmartFILL features
    (used in telephone fields) feature is active.  This saves time when
    entering numbers with area code and prefix, but it can now be turned
    off when entering international or local numbers (this option is
    also found in File Preferences).

12. The setting of the 'Read Messages for All Users' control in File
    Preferences is now saved from session to session.

13. Since MessageWorks message files are now only kept open when reading
    messages (previously the main message file was open whenever a copy
    MessagesWorks was running), file sharing errors when deleting all
    messages will only occur if other users are reading the main message
    file.

14. Added microscroll controls for message check delay in File Preferences
    and the row and column edit controls in the Label Print function.

15. The sound assigned to the Windows Exclamation event is now played when
    a network user receives a message (if system sounds are enabled).

16. Uses the new 3-D look for all controls when running in VGA mode or
    higher.
