VERSION CHANGES The following changes were made from previous versions of the software: 1.51 o Added support for reading a shared pager data file from an ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) data source. 1.5 o Added support for sharing a list of pagers across a network. o Added the ability to change the inbox scan time for EMail. o The EMail password can now be stored in PageMaster so that it does not need to be manually entered each time PageMaster starts. o Added the ability to use tone or pulse dialing. o Added control for turning off the modem speaker. o Added a signature line that can be automatically appended to the end of all alphanumeric pages sent. o Added the ability to tag a date and/or time to the end of each alphanumeric page. o Added the ability to force alphanumeric pages to upper case. o Added the ability to reverse the paging order for messages that must be sent via multiple pages. o Added the ability to log incoming Caller ID calls. o Added keyword search on the TO field in mail filters. o Enhanced help file. 1.42 o Added support for VIM-Compliant EMail systems, including Lotus cc:Mail and Lotus Notes. o Added the ability to view and clear page log files from within PageMaster. o Added a Caller ID "Pop-Up" window that appears on the screen when a call is received on the Call Monitor modem. 1.41 o Added the ability to set the baud rate for paging systems that support sending alphanumeric pages at greater than 300 baud. o When monitoring for events without the screen saver, PageMaster no longer displays the "Monitoring for Events" dialog box. Instead, the word "Monitoring" appears in the status bar. This allows movement and minimizing of the PageMaster window during monitoring. 1.4 o Added the ability to send pages using a command line parameter. o Added a command line switch to turn off the title screen display on startup. o Pagers may now be assigned to more than one group. o Added a feature that allows users to enter pre-defined messages. When PageMaster normally prompts the user to enter a message, one of the pre- defined messages may be chosen instead. o Added a command line switch to turn on monitoring for events on startup. o Added the ability to schedule pages to be sent at a later date and time. Scheduled pages may also be set to automatically re-schedule the same page every day, week, month, or year. o When typing in a message to send to an alphanumeric pager, a display is now available that indicates how many pages will be needed to send the messages. o Added Caller ID (CID) support to Call Monitoring. Caller ID data (if available) will be sent to the pager. This requires a modem with Caller ID capability. 1.33 o Added an additional data field for each pager. The page list may be sorted and searched on this field. o Fixed a bug that prevented PageMaster from sending any future pages if the modem was in use by another application when the screen saver activated. The program would have to be stopped and restarted to resume paging. o Added the ability to send messages to multiple alphanumeric pagers in a single phone call if the pagers share a common access number. In addition, Email messages that are sent across multiple pages are now done with a single phone call. o The view selection (All or Group) is now saved between runs of the application. o Added support for alphanumeric paging systems that require a password. o For pages sent to alphanumeric pagers by Schedule+ reminders, added the start and end time of the appointment. 1.32 o Added the ability to send more text of a mail message using multiple pages. Each mail filter now allows you to specify the maximum number of pages that will be sent. 1.31 o Altered the modem driver to work with more types of modems. o Fixed a bug in the DDE support that would not queue pages properly. 1.3 o Added EMail paging support for Microsoft Mail. o Allow page messages of any length. Messages that are longer than the maxumim allowed page length will be split and sent in multiple pages. 1.2 o Added a page counter that appends page numbers to each message sent. o Added the ability to specify which types of pages should be logged. o Fixed a bug that prevented DDE from working under certain circumstances. 1.1 o Added DDE support for paging and adding new pagers. o Added a find feature that searches the pager list. o Allowed multiple pagers to receive call monitor and Schedule+ pages. o Added an import pager data function. o Added the ability to log pages to a text file. o Fixed a bug where the dialing prefix digit was not used for dialing either of the two voice numbers. o Added a Resubmit button.
