It basically provides the same functionality as the DOS based SEND command provided by Novell Netware, except that it is designed to work under Microsoft Windows 3.0. REQUIREMENTS: All that is required to run WINDOWS SEND is that you must be running Windows 3.0 or above and that you have a Novell Netware based LAN running Netware 2.1 or above. INSTALLATION: Installation of WINDOWS SEND is very straightforward. The executable program WSEND.EXE (and its associated library WSENDDLL.DLL) must be copied somewhere in the DOS Path or in the current directory. To run the program, go to the 'File Run' option in the Program Manager menu and type WSEND.EXE in the dialog box. You may decide to have WSEND.EXE executed automatically everytime you start windows. To do this, edit your WIN.INI file and append the text 'WSEND.EXE' to the end of the line. If you wish you can also add the WSEND.EXE icon to one of your program groups. Consult your DOS and WINDOWS manual for further details. NOTE: If you are running WINDOWS on your Netware LAN, to receive broadcast messages, you must have the Netware drivers for WINDOWS properly installed and you must have NWPOPUP.EXE specified on the load line in your WIN.INI file. INSIDE WINDOWS SEND: When WINDOWS SEND is loaded, it scans the network for all logged in users and all groups. These names go into a list box that from which you can select the target of your message. The text of the message that you wish to send is to type into the first edit field on the screen. Once you have entered your message and you wish to send it, press the SEND button. If you wish to close the WINDOWS SEND application, select the CLOSE button. It is assumed however, that most users will open WINDOWS SEND and leave it as an icon throughout their windows session. Because of this and the fact that other users may log into or log out of the network, the user/group combo list box may become out of date. If you wish to update your list, press the REFRESH LISTS button. We could have made rereading the list automatic but on some slower networks the delay in reading the user list can be as much as 15 seconds. The other list box on the window shows you the servers that you are currently attached to. If you wish to send a message to a user who is logged into another network that your network is bridged to, you must attach to that network (consult you network administrator for details). When Windows Send is loaded or the REFRESH LISTS buttons is hit these attached networks are scanned and added to the list box. When you select a new attached network to send messages to the userlist list box is automatically read and updated with users from that network. ENHANCEMENTS: Version 1.4b incorporates coding changes which take advantage of the DOS Protected Mode Interface (DPMI) which allows WSEND to function properly in all three Windows modes, REAL STANDARD AND ENHANCED. This version also optimizes the functionality of the main "push buttons" and reduces flicker. Version 1.3 of Windows send incorporate two major new features over previous versions. The first is that one can now select as many users or groups from the User/group list box or as many servers from the Servers list box as one wishes. This enables you to send one message to several people simultaneously. The other main feature is that messages can also be sent directly to the server console. There are also a number of cosmetic changes. REGISTRATION: WINDOWS SEND Version 1.4b is currently being marketed as shareware. Subsequent versions may NOT be available as shareware and the prices outlined below may not be valid for new releases.

Lachenaie Qc Canada J6W 5L6 A single site licsence of WSEND is avaible for $200 US per server. This site liscence gives the owner the right to install WSEND on as many PC's as are attatched to a SINGLE server. Multiple servers require multiple site licenses. (ie if your corporation has 3 Novell servers connected thru bridges and you wished all users on all servers to get a copy of WSEND, this would cost $600 regardless of howmany people on connected to each server).
