WINRCV.EXE

The program WINRCV.EXE is a Microsoft Windows V3.x Broadcast Message 
Receiver.  It works in conjunction with the DOS TSRs RCV.EXE and TRCV.EXE
(Version 4.1.11 or better which is NOT available in PATHWORKS for DOS V4.1).  

To use WINRCV, you must make sure either RCV.EXE or TRCV.EXE is loaded
in your STARTNET.BAT. To use this program in Windows 3.0, simply place it 
on the LOAD line in section [windows] in your WIN.INI.  To use this program
under Windows 3.1, add this program to the STARTUP group.


What it can do
--------------

WINRCV can pop-up when you receive a broadcast message from another
node (from a BCAST or Mail Notification).  All messages received are 
displayed in the window.  You can copy the received messages into the 
clipboard.

You can set whether the WINRCV should take the focus when a message
is received, and whether a beep should be done when messages are 
received.  You can also set the interval in which WINRCV will check
for broadcast messages (1-32767 milliseconds).


Overview of the program
-----------------------

There are 2 sections to the main window.  The first contains the two text
areas - one for the messages and a single line at the bottom of the
window that keeps track of the number of messages that are currently
displayed in the window above.  The message display window has horizontal
and vertical scrolling capabilities using the keyboard or mouse.  The
vertical scrollbar is visible only when there are a sufficient number of
messages that cannot be seen in the window.  

The second section of the window is the button area.  There are 3 buttons
located on the right side of the window.  These buttons are "Setup",
"Copy", and "Clear".  Pressing the "Setup" button pops up a dialog box
allowing the user to configure the program to their liking.  The user can
choose whether WINRCV will pop-up and take the window focus when a
message is received, whether it will beep when a message is received, and
whether the window should flash until the user activates the window after
receiving a message.  The edit field at the top of the dialog box titled
"Interval" sets the polling interval for which WINRCV checks to see if
any messages have been sent to you.  The smaller the number, the more it
checks.  The default of one second (1000 milliseconds) is sufficient for
most users.  

Pressing the "Copy" button will copy all of your messages to the
clipboard, where you can then save the messages to a file or paste them
into a document.  Pressing the "Clear" button will clear the message
window and reset the message count at the bottom of the window.
