                   **** IMPORTANT NOTE: ****

This archive contains the BBS version of AutoWinNet.  Because of size 
consideration, there is a file missing (described below).  You can

It's free, so download it today!


            AutoReply (automated mail responder) 

Automate your mail by looking for "keywords", then responding 
with a variety of customizable actions:
  a.  Send back a message
  b.  Send back a binary or text file (as an attachment) - 100% compatible with most mail programs
  c.  Add person to a mailbox
  d.  Add person to a mailing list
  e.  Forward the message to another E-Mail address
  f.  Send a help file, containing all the possible commands they can use on your mail site

In addition, you can browse the messages that come through, transfer them to different mailboxes, 
and read everything offline.  No need to scrounge through your mail program, sorting messages, 
transferring them, responding with boring, tedious attachments and standard messages.  
Do everything OFFLINE!






                          QUICK START GUIDE


-----------  HOW TO INSTALL! ----------------------------------------

1.  Create a new AutoWinNet directory

2.  Unzip the PKZIP file into that directory

3.  Create an icon for it, and setup the program by chosing CONFIGURATION

4.  Unzip CTL3DV2.ZIP into your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory.  This is vitally 
    important: if you will get errors and ugly dialogs if you don't have 
    that CTL3DV2.DLL in your windows/system directory. 

5.  Dial and connect with your SLIP/PPP provider using a Winsock dialer
    program, such as Trumpet Winsock's TCPMAN.EXE, or Internet in a Box's
    AIRDIAL.EXE.

    If you don't have Trumpet Winsock, you can get a copy from 
    ftp.trumpet.com.au in the /ftp/pub/winsock directory.
    The usual filename is in the format: TWSCK??.ZIP



If you are not dialed in, connected and logged in, this program will not work.




-----------  HOW DO I RUN THIS AUTOMATED? ------------------------------

To run an agenda without being home, (pro version only),
specify the agenda you want to run on the command line.  OR just schedule
several agendas to run using the new built-in calendar!

For example, add:  AUTOWNET.EXE MYAGENDA  to your scheduler program.
This will run MYAGENDA agenda at whatever time you specify.

If you don't have a scheduler program, use AutoWinNet's new built-in calendar.


If you're running Internet in a Box, your dialer will load automatically,
and log you into the Internet.  

If you use Trumpet Winsock's TCPMAN.EXE, make sure that TCPMAN.EXE,
LOGIN.CMD, TWINSOCK.INI and TRUMWSK.INI are in your Windows directory!
Otherwise, he doesn't work.

When AUTOWINnet is done, he will unload himself, along with the
dialing program, and your Winsock.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Due to a bug in Trumpet Winsock, he doesn't hang
                 up when exiting.  Be patient - he'll hang the modem up
                 about five minutes after exiting!
                 



----------- POSSIBLE SETUP PROBLEMS ----------------------------------


The official AutoWinNet support phone:

	1-500-776-SMITH
	
or our problem/questions homepage:

	http://www.computek.net/autownet/problem.html
	
	

PARADOX ERROR 144 / MISCELLANEOUS PARADOX ERRORS - 

You already have a PARADOX engine setup inside WIN.INI.  Open notepad and
edit WIN.INI, renaming any previous paradox statements.


DOES NOT WORK WITH TIA -

T.I.A. is a program that emulates SLIP account access on a SHELL account.
This don't work with AutoWinNet!
Please get a PPP/SLIP account, then try this program again...


I KEEP GETTING "CTL3DV2.DLL NOT CORRECTLY INSTALLED" ERRORS

Unzip CTL3DV2.ZIP into your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory.  This is vitally 
important: if you will get errors and ugly dialogs if you don't have 
that CTL3DV2.DLL in your windows/system directory.
DO NOT UNZIP IT INTO THE AUTOWINNET DIRECTORY!  Ctl3dv2.dll is very picky
about where it should be.  Only one copy should exist on your hard drive:
in your Windows/system directory.

   CONCERNING SHAREWARE AND AutoWinNet:

   Definition of Shareware. . .
         
         Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
   buying it.  If you try a shareware program and continue using it, you are
   expected to register it.  Individual programs differ on details _ some
   request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
   trial period.  With registration, you get anything from the simple right
   to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
         
         Copyright laws apply to both shareware and commercial software, and
   the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions
   as stated below.  Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just
   like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality.  (In
   both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!)  The main difference
   is in the method of distribution.  The author specifically grants the
   right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to
   a specific group.  For example, some authors require written permission
   before a commercial disk vendor may copy their shareware.
         
         Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.  You
   should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
   commercial or shareware.  The shareware system makes fitting your needs
   easier, because you can try before you buy.  And because the overhead is
   low, prices are low also.  Shareware has the ultimate money-back
   guarantee _ if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
         
         AutoWinNet is a copyrighted shareware program by David Smith and
   Jim Husband authors and members of the Association of Shareware
   Professionals.  The evaluation edition of AutoWinNet is offered at no charge
   to any potential user for evaluation.  Feel free to share the evaluation
   edition with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as
   part of another system.  The essence of "user-supported" software is to
   provide personal computer users with quality software without high
   prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to
   develop new products.


Ombudsman Statement. . .

         This program is produced by a member of the Association  of
   Shareware Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
   principle works for you.  If you are unable to resolve a shareware-
   related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly,       
   ASP may be able to help.  The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a       
   dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical       
   support for members' products.  Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545    
   Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message via       
   CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
