WHAT IS ROLL CALL?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Roll Call is a LAN-based in and out board and centralized email address book.

The main fallacy of in and out boards is people forget to change their status.
With Roll Call, you only need to remember to change it when you leave your
desk, not when you return. When you click your mouse or type on your keyboard
for the first time after being away from your desk, Roll Call will
automatically change your status to "desk". If you happen to leave your desk
and forget to change your status, Roll Call will change it to "idle" after a
given amount of time.

When you remember to change your status, Roll Call makes it easy by allowing
you to type a hotkey or select from a popup menu that is presented when Roll
Call's tray icon is right-clicked. For instance, you can define a hotkey to
change your status to "lunch", another for "home", etc. No matter what the
forefront application is, you can enter a key sequence to change your status.

When you change your status, Roll Call saves you time by defaulting to a
reasonable return time. If "lunch" or "break", the current time plus the
typical amount of time you take for lunch or a break respectively. If "home",
the next business day at your typical arrival time. The calculation of the
next business day considers company holidays that you provide and weekends.

Roll Call provides additional information. Associated with each employee
record is a notes section, group list, email address and a phone list. The
notes section can be used to advise others of your future plans to be out of
the office or away from your desk. Groups are useful because the employee list
can be filtered to only show those associated with a particular group.
Therefore, when a potential customer calls, the receptionist can use Roll Call
to quickly determine which sales person is available.

Roll Call can initiate a new out going message in MAPI compliant mail programs
with the recipients prefilled with employees and groups of employees that you
have selected.

The installation of Roll Call is a simple two step process. The first step is
to run the server setup. The server setup installs the database and client
setup onto a network drive. The second step is to run the client setup on each
PC. The user will have a choice of installing the 32-bit version or 16-bit
version of Roll Call if the client machine has the Windows 95 Shell Interface.
Else, the 16-bit version will be installed. The 16-bit version does not
support groups or hotkeys, but it uses less resources. Roll Call does not
require an additional process that runs on the server to maintain the
database. The database is cooperatively maintained by each running copy of
Roll Call.

The unregistered version of Roll Call does not contain "nag" screens, and is
not time-limited. However, you will be limited to 5 users until you register.

INSTALLATION NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------------
All users of Roll Call must have read/write/create/remove priviliges to the
database directory. If at least one workstation will be running the 16-bit
version, all workstations must reference the database directory with the
same directory path. If all will be running the 32-bit version, UNC paths are
used.  

The server setup and client setup are 16-bit programs.  If you will be running
one or both of these on NT, the 16-bit subsystem must be present.
