Welcome to Keep Goin' 1.2

Thank you to everyone who has registered this program and allowed us to continue to implement your suggestions.

Changes for 1.2 include MSN Support, Customization and Support for other countries.

This program for Windows 95 lets you log right into a dial-up internet provider or MSN without hitting the "Connect" button.  This program was designed to be small and unobtrusive.  Simply put it into your StartUp group, and you're done.  It is small, so don't worry about it chewing up memory.  It is efficient, so don't worry about it slowing down your computer.

If you run the program minimized, the only change you will see is a green phone in the Tray (end of the Task Bar).  If you click on the phone it will turn red and stop the program from having any effect.  If you click on the phone again it will turn green and will hit the "Connect" button for you.  If you double click the phone you will see the program on your screen so you can shut it down.  Right click on the phone and you will get this help file.

If the program is running, you won't have to hit the "Connect" button.  It also takes care of busy signals.  If Windows 95 pops up with a message telling you the system was busy, Keep Goin' will take over and try again.  The only problem you might experience with Keep Goin' is stopping the dialing process.  If you do decide that you don't really want to connect, you should stop "Keep Goin'" by clicking on the green area.  The green area should turn red.  Then hit Cancel to stop the dialing process.

This program is only for Windows 95 MSN or Dial-Up networking (internet or internetworking).  It does not dial for you.  It is not a scripting language to help you get connected.  We suggest RoboDun or Microsoft Plus scripting for that.  This program simply keeps you from having to click on the "Connect" button everytime you want to dial-in.  If you would like to schedule Dial-Up Networking, run it from a Windows 95 DOS batch file, or run it from your Timer program, please look at our "Dial" program.

Because of this program, you should be able to (after installing Microsoft's Plus Pack) type a URL into the Start/Run dialog box on Windows 95 and have it take you all the way to your location WITHOUT HITTING "Connect"

Keep Goin' now supports Customization.

Please register this program if you use it, and ENJOY!


Customization

The Keep Goin' program is very customizable.  You can select which buttons you would like it to hit for you.  Simply create a KEEPGOIN.INI file in the same directory as the KEEPGOIN.EXE.  The default is to handle all of the buttons.  If you want to shut one off, simply set the value to 0.

To chose whether or not Keep Goin' hits the Connect button when logging into the Internet with Dial-Up Networking

[Settings]

Internet=1                ;On is the default

To chose whether or not Keep Goin' hits the default button when Dial-Up Networking gives a Busy signal notification

[Settings]

Notify=1                ;On is the default

To chose whether or not Keep Goin' hits the Reconnect button Dial-Up Networking hangs up due to inactivity

[Settings]

Reconnect=1                ;On is the default

To chose whether or not Keep Goin' hits the Connect button when logging into MSN

[Settings]

MSN=1                ;On is the default

To chose whether or not Keep Goin' hits the Yes button (to disconnect) when finished with MSN Windows

[Settings]

MSNShutdown=1                ;On is the default


MSN Support

The Keep Goin' program will now hit Connect for MSN users.  This is especially useful if you take advantage of Microsoft's shortcuts which can be dragged from MSN onto your desktop, or into folders.  Then simply double-click the shortcut to take you back to that location in MSN (WITHOUT HITTING CONNECT!).

Keep Goin' will also eliminate that annoying message you get when you shut down all MSN windows.  It asks if you want to disconnect.  Keep Goin' will simply reply "Yes" saving you connect time.

Either of these features can be turned off using Customization.


Support for other countries

If your language is supported, you will find an .INI file for your language.  Rename this .INI file to KEEPGOIN.INI.  If your language is not yet supported, please read the following.

This program relies on some text matching to determine whether a window or a button is active.  As written this program will not work in countries that are not English speaking.  However, the program now allows strings to be replaced via the KEEPGOIN.INI file.

I will give a FREE registration to the first person from each language that creates a complete working KEEPGOIN.INI for their language.  I will include these in future versions of Keep Goin'.  To make sure you are the first one from your language, get the newest copy of Keep Goin' from our ftp site.  ftp://ftp.xmission.com/pub/users/w/wintrnx/keepgoin.zip.  Check the zip file for .INI files which correspond to your language (ie. FRENCH.INI, GERMAN.INI, etc.).

Below are the default INI settings for the English version.  These are the titles of the Windows (Dialog Boxes), or in one case the text that appears in the Dialog Box.  Simply replace the text on the right side of the equal sign with the translation for your language.

;This is the Title for the Internet Dial-Up Networking dialog box when connecting

ConnectTo=Connect To

;This is the Title for the Internet Dial-Up Networking dialog box when a busy signal occurs
