NotifyMe is a simple yet powerful messaging system for the Windows desktop.
It will run on Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Windows NT.  NotifyMe displays as
a non obtrusive marquee which scrolls across the bottom or top of the screen.
It is most useful when installed on a LAN drive and executed by many users.
Athough it may be used as a simple reminder system on a stand alone PC.

Some Basic Features of NotifyMe include:
* User's may subscribe to message files or may be forced to view message files.
* The Message Editor makes it easy to specify the priority of a message and
  when the message is to be displayed.  Athough message files do not have to be
  created using the Message Editor.  For example a productivity statistics message
  file may be created by a program and statistics automatically displayed on the
  user's desktop.
* User's may set their own preferences as to how NotifyMe will notify them when
  a new message is displayed based on the new message's priority.
* User's may also choose the font and size of the message as well as how fast the
  message scrolls and foreground and background color of the message window.

Basic interface Tips:
* Click the RIGHT mouse button on the scrolling message to display the popup menu.
* Click the LEFT mouse button on the scrolling message to discontinue notification
  of a new message.
* Hold down the LEFT mouse button on the scrolling message to stop the message
  from scrolling until you release the LEFT mouse button.
* Double click the LEFT mouse button on the scrolling message to minimize the window.

Who can edit messages:
* I suggest that you handle who can update message files by utilizing the file
  security mechanism designed into your network operating system.  So a user may be
  able to open a message file but the write of any changes would fail on the server
  if you only give the user read access to the files in the NotifyMe directory.
* To prevent the Message Editor from being available to a specific user you can
  set CantEditMsgs=1 in the [NotifyMe] section of the user's win.ini file.
