- ABOUT NOTICE BOARD
-
-
- NOTICE BOARD gives you all of the facilities of an office notice board on
- the PCs attached to your network, and a menu system, rolled into one. It is
- designed to be run as part of the network login so that important notices are
- seen whenever users log on.
-
- As well as the key notices which appear automatically whenever the package is
- run, it has a simple-to-access menu structure allowing users to browse
- through a potentially huge database of further information or run other
- software packages. The interface is intuitive and requires no training.
-
- The structure of the notice menus is decided by you, to match your
- requirements exactly. The uses are endless, how about these for starters:
-
- Network Shutdown Information
- Information about new facilities/software
- An internal telephone list
- Holidays/Site shutdown dates
- Internal vacancies
- News
-
- The size, shape and colour of notices is decided by you. The amount of
- information which can be stored in each notice is practically limitless.
-
- The combination of a bulletin board and a menu system in one package enables
- you to build an extremely user-friendly menu system with 'help notices'
- placed amongst the software packages to assist new or occasional users. When
- the Notice Board menu system is used to start other software packages, there
- is NO memory overhead.
-
- The software was written in the United Kingdom, in Clipper and continues to
- be supported by the author, Chris Tyler. The package is in use across the
- world, from the USA and Canada, throughout Europe to Australasia, by everyone
- from government agencies and international companies, down to schools and
- small businesses.
-

-
- WINDOWS
-
-
- Notice Board is a DOS package, deliberately designed to work with all PCs
- and monitor types, so that all users in an organisation see the messages.
- In a Windows environment, Notice Board would normally be run following the
- network login and before Windows is started. However it is useful to provide
- access to Notice Board from within Windows so that users can access the
- database of information at any time. For this reason we supply a PIF file
- and icon library file along with full setup instructions.

- REGISTRATION/COST
-
-
- NOTICE BOARD is not public domain or free software but is being distributed
- as 'shareware'. NOTICE BOARD is (c) Copyright 1991-1993
-
- Non-registered users are granted a limited license to make an evaluation
- copy for trial use on a private, non-commercial basis, for the express
- purpose of determining whether NOTICE BOARD is suitable for their needs. At
- the end of this trial period, users should either register their copy or
- discontinue using the package.
-
- Each registered copy of NOTICE BOARD may be used on one file server by an
- unlimited number of users.
-
- Companies who register NOTICE BOARD will receive a version which does not
- produce registration reminder notices and displays their company name on
- the main screen instead of the 'Not Licensed, Evaluation version only'
- message. In addition, registered users receive a printed, bound manual
- and lifetime technical support.
-
- NOTICE BOARD can be registered in any one of three ways:
