CALIENTE AND HUDSON SOFTWARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, RELATED TO DEFECTS IN THE DISKETTE AND DOCUMENTATION. Governing Law This statement shall be governed and construed under the laws of the State of Connecticut and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts therein. *************************************************************************** Server Installation *************************************************************************** To install WYWO on your network server, from your workstation: Start Microsoft Windows. Choose File Run from Program Manager. Enter A:\INSTALL. (Replace A:\ with a Drive and Path reference if installing from a location different from the A:\ drive.) Install will ask you to select the Shared Directory on your file server where to store the WYWO program and data files. The install program will copy all necessary files to the destination you selected, most likely on your network server. At the same time, Install automatically decompresses the various WYWO files. Then, WYWO displays this README.TXT file in Windows Notepad. *************************************************************************** Network Settings *************************************************************************** Novell Netware: --------------- The WYWO directory and USER directories should have the following access rights for proper operation: Read/Write/Shareable/Archive/Transactional/Purge Windows for Workgroups, Lantastic and Netbios lans: --------------------------------------------------- The WYWO directory and USER directories should be shared with read/write access. Set the attributes for the EXE and DLL files in the WYWO directory to READ-Only for proper operation. Example: (This is a DOS command) ATTRIB +R *.EXE ATTRIB +R *.DLL *************************************************************************** Upgrade Note *************************************************************************** Before you upgrade from a previous installation of While You Were Out, make sure all users running WYWO on the network close WYWO and Message Message Carousel on their workstations. If you previous set the attributes for the EXE and DLL files in the WYWO directory to Read-Only, you must first remove the Read_Only attribut from those files. Example: (This is a DOS command) ATTRIB -R *.EXE ATTRIB -R *.DLL Upgrading WYWO only affects program files not data files. The new version will automatically configure itself to take advantage of new features. Finally to upgrade each workstation, run the INSTALL program found in the WYWO directory to upgrade each workstation. Read the Workstation Installation section below for details. *************************************************************************** WYWO User Definition *************************************************************************** Upon closing this document, the install utility will automatically run WYWO Setup. WYWO Setup is the administration program for WYWO. It is used to set up user names, user groups and message types for the WYWO system. It is also used for clearing user's passwords should they forget them. WYWO Setup creates two files called WYWO.DAT and WMSGTYPE.DAT in the directory dedicated for the WYWO system. With WYWO Setup, you will be able to add, modify or delete users, groups and message types that are in the WYWO.DAT and WMSGTYPE.DAT files of the WYWO directory. To toggle between User Name and Message Type modes simply click the User Names button or the Message Types button. To add a user, click on the New button and select User from the menu. Fill in the name of the new user. Click on OK to enter the name into the system. For sites with e-mail, WYWO can import user names from your mail address database. See the EMAIL.TXT (E-Mail Integration) for details. To modify the user's name or clear the user's password, select the user and click the Modify button or double-click on the user itself. To delete a user, select the users name and click the Delete button. To register any changes to the WYWO user database, click the Save button. Once users are defined, you can organize them into logical groups to represent departments, floors, work groups, etc. Groups are identified in the user name list by square brackets, ex: [Everyone]. By default all users belong to the Everyone Group, allowing users to send and receive messages to everyone installed in WYWO. Users have the option of setting a default user group by clicking the Options button in WYWO on their workstations. Message Types can be added, modified, and deleted in the same manner as the User Names. You are now ready to run WYWO. *************************************************************************** Workstation Installation *************************************************************************** To install WYWO on each workstation: Start Microsoft Windows. Choose File Run from Program Manager. Type g:\wywo\INSTALL.EXE where g:\wywo is the shared drive you installed WYWO. This configures each workstation to have access to WYWO, Carousel, user messages and phonebooks. The Install program will automatically run WYWO for the first time and present the WYWO Options screen to the user. The first time each user runs WYWO, they must identify themselves to WYWO by selecting their name as the default user. The next time Windows starts, WYWO will automatically be loaded and appear as a pink message icon on the Windows Desktop. WYWO only monitors incoming messages for the default user. *************************************************************************** Running While You Were Out *************************************************************************** WYWO.EXE is the main WYWO program for sending and retrieving WYWO messages. Once the WYWO sheet is on the screen you are ready to send and receive telephone messages. To activate WYWO, simply double click the WYWO icon either on the Windows desktop or Program Manager. The WYWO icon looks like a pink While You Were Out sheet. *************************************************************************** Running WYWO Carousel *************************************************************************** WYWO Carousel acts as a message rack/message board similar to those found on the typical secretary/receptionist desk. It is great for those users with or without a network that want to monitor all new WYWO messages that come in at a central location. WYWO Carousel will check for all new messages in the system at 30-second intervals and display the names of users with new messages. Messages for a particular user can be viewed through the WYWO Carousel by double-clicking on their name or selecting their name and clicking the Read Messages button. WYWO Carousel operates in two modes: The Message Board option displays the number of new messages as small WYWO sheets followed by the users name. The Message Rack option displays a series of message "slots" for all users with new messages. WYWO Carousel only displays new messages for users defined by the Default Group specified in WYWO Options at each workstation. To monitor other groups, simply access WYWO and click the Options button to select another default group. IMPORTANT NOTE: --------------- WYWO Carousel only allows messages to be viewed. Messages must be deleted directly from the WYWO program. Also, any new messages viewed through Carousel will remain as new messages until accessed directly by the WYWO program. *************************************************************************** Thank you for your interest in While You Were Out 4.3 and Caliente International / Hudson Software! *************************************************************************** For your convenience, we've included an order form which is located in the ORDER.TXT file.
