- The CIS Node Locator
- version 1.0

- All rights Reserved
-
- OVERVIEW: This program will find a location when you enter a CIS
- node and press the Find Button. It is designed to run under
- Windows while your communication program is also running under
- Windows in a windowed mode. It should be helpful during a
- conference to find out where the others are calling from without
- having to ask.
-
- USING THE LOCATOR: The CIS Node Locator will start and always stay
- on top by default, this was implemented for use with WinCIM. This
- feature can be turned off from the system menu. This program is
- like most of Windows programs as far as how to navigate. A brief
- explanation for keyboard use. The TAB key will cycle through the
- buttons and entry box where you enter a node. Enter will process
- the button or the entry box. Alt-Tab will cycle you through all the
- applications you have running in Windows. The main window in the
- Locator has three buttons and an entry box. Exit button will leave
- the program, About button will bring up the version and Copyright
- notice, Find will find the location of the node you have entered,
- and the entry box is where you enter the three letter abbreviation
- for a node. From the entry box Alt-x will exit, Alt-A will display
- About, and Alt-F will find the location for the node. If you're not
- in the entry box the x, A or F will work without the Alt key. You
- can access the system menu using the F10 key and pressing enter.
- You can press M to move the window, C or Alt-F4 to close the window
- or, T to toggle Always on top and of course you can move down to the
- one you want using the arrow keys and press enter. Cut and Paste is
- not fully implemented in this version but if you can copy a node
- from another window, and you can use Ctrl-V to paste this node in
- the entry box and press enter to locate.
-
- Mouse operation is just like using keys except just point at the
- button, entry box, system menu item and click the left mouse
- button. To highlight the entry box for replacement of its contents
- double click the mouse button. Double clicking the system menu will
- exit the program. The right button doesn't do anything at this time.
-
- INSTALLATION: This version doesn't have a setup program you must
- manually set it up. Copy all the files to a directory of your
- choice. Start Windows, either select a group or create one, pick
- File | New | Item, type in "CIS Nodes" for name, pick browse to
- point to CISNODES.EXE for file, and pick change icon and the icon
