QuikDial is a Visual Basic 3.0 application that automatically dials 
telephone numbers for voice calls from a user-specified directory.
QuikDial requires MS-Windows 3.1, a VGA or better color monitor, and
a modem connected to your PC. You must have a telephone sharing the
modem as well. QuikDial uses Hayes-compatible modem commands. The dialing
directory has a maximum capacity of 750 entries. 

All QuikDial files should be installed in a single directory, but the 
files with DLL and VBX extensions may be installed in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory if you wish. QuikDial requires the Visual Basic 3.0 run-time
module VBRUN300.DLL, available on CompuServe and other BBSs. Detailed 
instructions for configuring and running QuikDial are available on-line
by clicking the help (?) button on QuikDial's button bar. QuikDial uses 
communications port 1 as its default, but another port may be used by
specifying it on the command line, as in QUIKDIAL.EXE /3 for port 3.

The files included in the QUIKDIAL.ZIP file are:
			
			QUIKDIAL.EXE - The executable file	
			QUIKDIAL.DIR - Startup dialing directory
			QUIKDIAL.HLP - Windows help file for QuikDial		
			QUIKDIAL.TXT - This text file
			MSCOMM.VBX - Visual Basic support library
			SS3D2.VBX - Visual Basic support library
            THREED.VBX - Visual Basic support library
            
Remember to copy VBRUN300.DLL to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory before
using QuikDial. Once a dialing operation is initiated, you must immediately
pick up the telephone handset (or activate your speakerphone, if you
have one) to make the connection necessary for a successful call.

IMPROVEMENTS IN VERSION 2.0:
    
    1. /S command line switch added for speakerphone equipped telephones.
    2. SS3D2.VBX file size is 20K smaller in this version.
    3. Help file contains more and better documentation.
    4. Dialing directory holds 750 entries, rather than 600 entries.
    5. Improved automatic modem hangup for uncooperative modems.
    6. Several bug fixes and improved appearance of interface.
