WMLogout
                                   for Windows!
                                   ============ 

                                   Version 1.4

Overview
--------

WMLogout is the Windows version of MLogout. WMLogout was written to be run
in the Windows 3.0 environment, in Standard and Enhansed modes.

WMLogout will monitor keyboard and mouse activity, if a period of time elapses
with no activity then WMLogout will take control and execute the user define
logout process, or the internal logout feature.

WMLogout will execute a batch file called LOGOFF.BAT, which the user can
customize to their own environment. This was found to be the best solution
as some companies perform other functions during a logout (such as task
accounting systems like MTASKLOG). LOGOFF.BAT MUST be located in one of the
following areas for it to execute:

        * Directory with WMLOGOUT.EXE
        * Window's SYSTEM directory
        * Window's directory
        * In a directory contained in the DOS PATH
        * In a directory that is MAPped to by Novell

Usually, the last statement in the .BAT file will be the LOGOUT command. This
command will flush all buffers, close all open files, and log the user out
of the network. A message will appear alerting the user to the logout.

Future releases of WMLogout are planned with the following features:

        * Specification of file to run


Installation
------------

To install WMLogout run B:INSTALL from the File/Run menu in Program Manager.
The installation program will copy all files into a specified directory,
and then create a WMLogout Group with WMLOGOUT and the Read Me file in
it.

The files for WMLOGOUT must be located in one of the following areas:
        
        * Windows SYSTEM directory
        * Windows directory
        * PUBLIC directory on Network (user must be mapped to directory)
        * Users DOS directory (must be specified in users PATH statement)

You may install WMLogout on a server or on individual workstations. You can
have Windows automatically load WMLogout when it boots by entering the
following line in the WIN.INI file:

        run=wmlogout.exe

This line in the WIN.INI file will start WMLogout when Windows is first loaded.

You may also run WMLOGOUT.EXE directly from the File/Run process.


Changing Configuration
----------------------

A file is checked when WMLOGOUT is started. This file is WMLOGOUT.INI. 
WMLOGOUT looks for this file in the WINDOWS directory.
The format of the .INI file is:

   ;           - lines begining with are considered comments
   TimeOut=    - sets the time for logout

   Batch=1     - Run a batch file called MLOGOFF.BAT
   Batch=0     - Run the internal logoff feature.
                 * Windows MUST be running in Enhansed mode!! (DEFAULT) *

   Reboot=0    - Do NOT reboot the computer after logoff (DEFAULT)
   Reboot=1    - Reboot the computer after logoff 

   Disable=0   - Allow user to change time from Options menu (DEFAULT)
   Disable=1   - Do NOT allow user to change time from Options menu


Current these are the only lines supported. Future versions will have a more
dynamic interface. Or,

You may change the time during execution of Windows by (if allowed by INI file):
        
        * Minimize the Program Manager window.
        * Select the WMLogout icon by press the mouse key once on the WMLogout
          icon.
        * Select Preferences from the options menu.

Here you can change the period of time that WMLogout waits before starting the
logout process. Valid times are from 1 minute to 999 minutes.

NOTE: The Demo Version works in seconds, and from 1 to 30.

The About menu option will give you information on the author of WMLogout and
where to contact Dana Consultants.


Server Licenses
---------------

Server Versions can be copied onto any workstation connected to the Server
that WMLOGOUT was purchased for. This server MUST be the Primary Server used
by the user. The program can also be installed in the PUBLIC directory and

All copies of WMLogout now come with a Server License.
