QuickPage Client Install

Installation:
Unzip THE 'QPCLIENT.ZIP' file to a temporary directory and from Windows run the
'setup.exe' program.

The Installation Serial Number is: QPCDEMO

** NEW FEATURES **

The text entry box on the AlphaNumeric paging form has been expanded.

You can now insert a predefined message anywhere in your message by selecting it from
the Predefined Message drop down box. The message will be inserted into your text at
the current cursor location. If you have selected text in your message, the selected
text will be replaced with the predefined message.

You can now save or edit Predefined Messages from the AlphaNumeric paging form.
Once you have entered the message, hold down the 'Ctrl' key and with the mouse over
the message box hold down the Left Mouse button and drag the message to the Predefined
Message box and release the mouse button. At that point you will be given the options
to either Add a new message, edit the current predefined message or cancel the operation.

There is a new message option entitled 'Use Ascii Art Font'. This changes the font in
the message box to a fixed width font. This allows you to design Ascii Art messages like
the 'Happy Face' sample that comes with the program. Be aware that you cannot use 'High
ASCII' characters (Ctrl or Alt combination characters) in your art because paging
terminals will not accept them. But you can use any of the characters that appear on
your keyboard. 

********************

After installing the QuickPage Server, you can install one or more client programs on
other computers connected to the Network by running the Client Setup program.
After installing the QuickPage Client program you MUST run the client configuration
program called 'QPCSETUP'.  There will be an 'Icon' in the QuickPage Client program
group that will allow you to run the setup program.  This setup program prepares the
Client for communication and interaction with the Server.  The setup program requires
you to fill in the following information:

  1)  The Network Name of the Serving Computer.
  2)  The Name of the Client Computer you are installing on.
  3)  The Network Path of the Serving Computer.  There are two methods which may be used.
        If it is a Logged Drive:  [Drive:\Directory\], ie: G:\QUIKPAGE\
        If it is Not a Logged Drive: [\\ServerName\Drive\Directory] ie:\\LEGACY\C\QUIKPAGE\
  4)  The Name of the Default Sender, (usually the person who uses this computer).
  5)  The Name of the Default Receiver, (the person you will most often be paging).
  6)  The Maximum Message Length your paging company supports.
  7)  A three letter acronym for your Company, Department or Location.
  8)  Whether or not to turn the CAPS Lock on when the program starts.

After filling out the required information, click the 'Save' button to save your choices.
This setup can be re-run at any time if you wish to change any of the information.

Before running the QuickPage Client program make sure that the Server Program is running
with Network Services Enabled.  If the Server is not running the Client will not be able
to perform the required 'first time' registration process with the Server.

The first time you Log On to the Paging Server you will be given the Default Access Rights
which are limited.  After you have Logged On for the first time the Paging Server
Administrator can change your access rights if necessary.

NOTE: You must run the Install and Setup programs for each Client you setup.
You CAN NOT simply copy files from one Client to the next.

For more information on the functions and operations of the Client program refer to the
Online Help System.  This help system is context sensitive and can be called from any
form on the Client program by pressing the 'F1' key.
