Description:
-------------

Vypress Auvis is a user-friendly, universal, one-way message 
client that runs in the system tray and allows users to receive
messages, from network administrators, as well as e-mail 
notification. Vypress Auvis is oriented toward the non-professional
user. It fulfills the function of a message processer but does
not allow user access to send messages. One of the key features
is the ability to disable one or all of the extra features through
special registry keys. If you are the administrator of a corporate
LAN or WAN, and you looking for broadcasting and unicasting 
services for a middle-large network, Auvis is a very suitable
program for you and your network! 

Vypress Auvis can receive messages from Vypress Messenger
(direct TCP messages plus UDP broadcasts), from 
WinPopup/Messaging Service (Windows NT), from any Unix system
with SMB protocol enabled and from a NetWare 'send' command. 

Vypress Auvis, written in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, is efficient
(uses 100KB of RAM), fast and can be run under any Windows 
environment. Support for UDP broadcast messages includes a full
set of security settings including the ability to enable or 
disable messages from a specified IP-address or addresses mask.
The user friendly interface is very popular with novice users. 

Today, Auvis is the most unique program of its kind on the market.
It is specially designed for one-way message processing and does
not alter, in anyway, the original full-featured Vypress Messenger.
