INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

The setup program provided by PageMaster installs all the 
necessary components.  A program group will also be created from 
which you can launch the application.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

For extensive help on any of the dialog boxes presented by the 
Setup program during installation, press the F1 key or choose the 
Help button in the dialog box.

To run Setup for installation of PageMaster:

1.  If Windows is not already running, follow the procedure for 
    starting Windows.  
2.  From the File Menu in the Program Manager, choose Run.  In 
    the Command Line box, type the drive letter and path to the 
    location of the PageMaster files, followed by \SETUP.  For

   Setup will create it for you.
2. Installs the PageMaster program files.

VERSION CHANGES

The following changes were made from previous versions of the
software:

2.0

o When pages are sent, they are now done so in the background from a page 
  "queue".  This means that while pages are being sent, more pages can be
  entered and queued for sending.

o Added a new QuikPage feature.  Pages can be entered and saved for later
  recall.  These pages can then be sent simply by choosing one from the
  QuikPage menu.

o When sending pages to multiple alphanumeric pagers from the same paging
  company, a failure of one of the pages will no longer prevent the other
  pages from being sent.

o Groups now appear on the main pager list, and can be selected for sending
  just as a pager.

o Added support for PIM Reminder pages from Lotus Organizer 2.1 or higher.

o The baud rate for alphanumeric paging may now be set individually for each
  pager and service provider.


1.71

o The main window can now be resized.

o The column width settings on the pager list are now saved between runs
  of the program.

o When entering a page message, the display indicating how many pages it
  will take to send the page now considers the signature, date, and time
  (if these are selected to be appended to the page message).

o Added support for paging through PageMaster/ex, the paging gateway for
  Microsoft Exchange Server.


1.7

o For numeric pagers that utilize PIN numbers, added the ability to modify
  the delay time between sending the PIN number and the page message.
  
o Added the ability to limit the number of times a scheduled page is
  rescheduled.


1.63

o Added back the DDE SendPage command removed in version 1.62.

o Added a new command line switch, -Q, that prevents messages
  from appearing on the screen when using DDE, command line, or
  file sniff paging.

o Added a new option that changes the behavior of the return key when
  entering a prompted message (see the Manual tab on the Preferences
  dialog box).


1.62

o DDE and command line paging can now page to groups.

o Added a page queue for DDE paging.

o Added the ability to enter service providers and to choose them when
  entering new pagers.

  during the sending of a page.
  

1.61

o Added a groups manager, accessible from the Groups menu item
  on the Configure menu.

o Added a failed page log

o Added the ability to edit the information for multiple pagers
  simultaneously (see the Help button on the Configure Pagers dialog box).

o Added the ability to delete multiple pagers (see the Help button on the
  Configure Pagers dialog box).

o Added the ability to page directly from the command line (see the Command
  Line Parameters section of the help file).

o Added a page confirmation dialog box that appears after a page has been
  delivered successfully.  This dialog may be enabled and diabled from the
  Manual tab on the Preferences dialog box.

o Allow pages, when viewed in the page log, to be resubmitted.

o Allow scheduled pages that were missed (because PageMaster was not
  running) to be skipped.

o Choosing the Resubmit button will now display a dialog containing the
  last message sent and allow it to be edited if desired.

o More information on a pager can be imported and exported to text and
  comma-delimited files.


1.6

o The Find command now highlights the appropriate pager.

o Added the ability to print selections from the page log.

o Added support for numeric pagers that utilize PIN numbers.

           
1.52

o Added the ability to automatically re-scan shared pager data at a user
  specified interval (see the Pager Data tab on the Preferences dialog box).

o Added a command line switch, -S, that continuously "sniffs" for a text
  file containing messages to be paged.

o Added more options on how a scheduled page may be automatically re-
  scheduled.  Rescheduling can now be done as often as one minute.

o Added the ability to specify a mailbox name in addition to the password.

1.5

o Added support for sharing a list of pagers across a network.

  need to be manually entered each time PageMaster starts.

  of all alphanumeric pages sent.

  Lotus Notes.

o Added the ability to view and clear page log files from within PageMaster.

o Added a Caller ID "Pop-Up" window that appears on the screen when a call
  is received on the Call Monitor modem.


1.41

o Added the ability to set the baud rate for paging systems that support
  sending alphanumeric pages at greater than 300 baud.

o When monitoring for events without the screen saver, PageMaster no longer
  displays the "Monitoring for Events" dialog box.  Instead, the word
  "Monitoring" appears in the status bar.  This allows movement and
  minimizing of the PageMaster window during monitoring.


1.4

o Added the ability to send pages using a command line parameter.
o Added a command line switch to turn off the title screen display
  on startup.
o Pagers may now be assigned to more than one group.

  PageMaster normally prompts the user to enter a message, one of the pre-
  defined messages may be chosen instead.
o Added a command line switch to turn on monitoring for events on startup.
o Added the ability to schedule pages to be sent at a later date and time.
  Scheduled pages may also be set to automatically re-schedule the same page
  every day, week, month, or year.
o When typing in a message to send to an alphanumeric pager, a display
  is now available that indicates how many pages will be needed to send the
  messages.  
o Added Caller ID (CID) support to Call Monitoring.  Caller ID data (if
  available) will be sent to the pager.  This requires a modem with Caller 
  ID capability.


1.33

o Added an additional data field for each pager.  The page list may
  be sorted and searched on this field.
o Fixed a bug that prevented PageMaster from sending any future pages if
  the modem was in use by another application when the screen saver
  activated.  The program would have to be stopped and restarted to
  resume paging.
o Added the ability to send messages to multiple alphanumeric pagers in a
  single phone call if the pagers share a common access number.  In addition,
  Email messages that are sent across multiple pages are now done with a
  single phone call.
o The view selection (All or Group) is now saved between runs of the
  application.
o Added support for alphanumeric paging systems that require a password.
o For pages sent to alphanumeric pagers by Schedule+ reminders, added the
  start and end time of the appointment.


1.32

o Added the ability to send more text of a mail message using multiple
  pages.  Each mail filter now allows you to specify the maximum
  number of pages that will be sent.


1.31

o Altered the modem driver to work with more types of modems.
o Fixed a bug in the DDE support that would not queue pages
  properly.


1.3

  maxumim allowed page length will be split and sent in multiple pages.
