I. General Information

Potential limitations using WinBEEP 32 with paging services
------------------------------------------------------------
WinBEEP 32 is a send-only communication application. WinBEEP 32
cannot receive incoming messages, therefore it does not fully
support two-way paging services. 

In addition, since WinBEEP 32 requires a modem connection to
send messages, it may not work with paging services that have
a voice greeting at the central phone number.


Uninstalling WinBEEP 32
-----------------------
Before you uninstall the WinBEEP 32 software from your computer,
make sure that you have stopped the WinBEEP 32 client and/or
server programs. Do not attempt to uninstall while WinBEEP 32
is still running.


Limitations of the WinBEEP 32 evaluation version
----------------------------------------------------
 - With the evaluation version of WinBEEP 32, you are
   limited to installing on three or fewer computers.

 - The evaluation software will expire 45 days from the
   date of installation.


Upgrading from the evaluation version to the full version
---------------------------------------------------------
If you downloaded the evaluation version of WinBEEP 32 for 
Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, and you want to upgrade it to
the full version, you must first contact your Artisoft
dealer or reseller, or the Artisoft Direct Team. The
Artisoft representative will assist you in the purchase
of a full-version Serial Number and Verification Key.

Instructions for contacting Artisoft appear in the Directory
of Support Services, which can be downloaded from Artisoft's
web site at www.artisoft.com.

If you already purchased WinBEEP 32, but choose to install
the evaluation version, you can upgrade to the full version
by using the WinBEEP 32 Serial Number and Verification
key that you received with the product.

To perform the upgrade:

 1. Go to a computer that you want to upgrade and open WinBEEP.
    (If your evaluation copy has already expired, skip to step 3)

 2. Open the Help | About pulldown menu and select Upgrade.

 3. Type in your full-version Serial Number and
    Verification Key.
   
 4. Click Finish.

 5. Restart the computer.

 6. Repeat the above steps on each computer that you
    want to upgrade.


Upgrading from a previous installation of Winbeep 32
----------------------------------------------------
When upgrading from a previous version of Winbeep 32, it is un-
necessary to uninstall the previous version. Setup will
detect the previous installation and give you the option to
save your data files. Your data is contained in two files, IRIS.PST
and FOUNTAIN.PST. These files will be backed up automatically
in the "\Program Files\Artisoft\Winbeep 32\PST Backup" directory.
In addition, these files will automatically be restored during the
installation of this upgrade. If you want to be exceptionally 
cautious, feel free to back up the data files prior to installing 
the upgrade. 


WinBEEP 32 on Windows NT
------------------------
The minimum NT system is Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 (SP3).
NT 4.0 users can get SP3 from Microsoft. 


WinBEEP 32 on Windows 95
------------------------
Windows 95 users must install DCOM for Windows 95 (DCOM95). DCOM95
is included with WinBEEP 32. SETUP will check for DCOM95 and
prompt for permission to install it as part of the WinBEEP
installation. Later releases of Windows 95 include DCOM95, and 
it's included in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 installation and 
Windows 98.


DCOM and WinBEEP 32 for Networks
--------------------------------
Questions about DCOM and WinBEEP 32

Q: Why does WinBEEP 32 need DCOM?
A: WinBEEP 32 is made up of two primary components: a client (or
User Interface) and a server (the Paging Engine). The server runs
in the background to serve the paging requests from the client,
making use of the latest Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM)
technology from Microsoft.

Q: Where can I learn more about DCOM?
A: Point your Web browser to Microsoft Support (Technical Support
Online) at http://support.microsoft.com/support/ and search for
DCOM95, or search for article Q158508 on COM Security, or Q174024
about frequently asked DCOM questions.


Troubleshooting Tip
-------------------
Problem: WinBEEP 32 logs the error "Could not set notifications."

This can happen if WinBEEP 32 is on a Windows NT computer on which
SP3 has not been properly installed. Re-install SP3 (or higher).


Viewing and navigating the PDF files
------------------------------------
In Windows NT, 95/98:

 1. With the Acrobat Reader 3.0 running, click the File menu 
    then click Open. Acrobat Reader can be found on the cd
    in the \Acrobat\Win32 directory.

 2. Select or type in the path to the PDF you want to use. 
    For example, if you want to use a PDF on the WinBEEP 32
    CD-ROM, find your CD-ROM drive in the Drives field by
    selecting or typing in the path D:\MANUALS (where D: is
    your CD-ROM drive letter). 

 3. In the File List field, double-click the document you 
    want to view. Then follow the steps below to use the
    manual. 

 4. Click the View menu, then click Bookmarks and Page. A 
    list of the main sections in the file appears on the left 
    side of your screen. 

    You can enlarge the Bookmarks window by dragging the
    double-triangle icon (next to the lower right corner
    of that window) to the right.

 5. Click the triangle to the left of a listing in the 
    bookmarks window to see its subsections. 

 6. You can tell when an item in the file is hypertext-
    linked by the way your cursor looks. Ordinarily,
    the cursor looks like an open hand. Any time the hand
    passes over a hypertext-linked item, it turns into a
    pointing finger. Just click to use that link. One click
    of the mouse takes you from the Chapter Contents list
    to a topic's location. Cross-references are linked, too.
    You can click a cross-reference such as "see page 16" and
    jump directly to the topic on that page.

 7. You can look for a specific topic with the Find feature. 
    Just click the binoculars icon in the toolbar and type in a 
    keyword or two. You can repeat the Find command by pressing 
    the F3 key until you find what you're looking for.

 8. It's a good idea to pull down the Help menu to learn how 
    to use the reader's toolbar, status bar and other features. 
    For instance, it's helpful to know about the Go Back feature 
    under the View menu, which retraces links you've used and 
    takes you back to your starting point.


Printing the PDF files	
----------------------
You can print all or parts of a PDF file by following these 
steps:

 1. Open the PDF file you want to print, then pull down the 
    File menu and click Print.

 2. Select All, Current or click a page range, then click OK. 
    To print a file from the DOS reader, go to Print Setup and 
    make sure the type of printer you're using is selected: 
    either PostScript or Bitmap (select Bitmap for all non-
    PostScript printers). If you select Bitmap, scroll through 
    the list of printer drivers and select the appropriate 
    driver.


============================================================
III. Creating Installation Diskettes from the CD-ROM
============================================================

If one or more of the computers on which you want to install
WinBEEP 32 do not have CD-ROM drives, you will need to
make a set of installation diskettes. 

NOTE: You must have short-term access to a CD-ROM drive in
      order to make the installation diskettes. 

To make the installation diskettes:

 1. Have at hand six (6) blank 1.44 MB diskettes. Format
    the diskettes if necessary.

 2. Put the WinBEEP32 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
    If the Autorun program starts, wait until the menu
    appears then click Exit.

 3. Use "My Computer" or "Explorer" to locate and open the
    ARTISOFT\ENG\WINBEEP directory on the CD-ROM.

 4. Label the formatted diskettes in a manner similar to that
    of the subdirectories in the CD-ROM's WINBEEP directory;
    for example: DISK1, DISK2, DISK3, etc...

 5. Place the diskette labeled DISK1 into the floppy drive.
    Copy the entire DISK1 subdirectory onto the floppy
    diskette.

 6. Repeat step 5 for each floppy diskette and each subdirectory,
    until you have made a complete set.

NOTE: If you are installing WinBEEP 32 on multiple computers without
      CD-ROM drives, you only need to make one set of installation
      diskettes. You will, however, need to have a unique WinBEEP 32
      Serial Number and Verification Key for each computer to install
      a licensed copy of the program.
