- To run The Phone Center, just type START and press Enter. If you need to force
- the program to run in color, type TPC12 /C. If you need to force the program
- to run in monochrome, type TPC12 /M. If you are using a monochrome monitor and
- some of the text is invisible, press 'X' from the main menu screen to bring up
- the Setup Menu. Then, repeatedly press F8 until the text appears. Make sure
- you save the new setup by pressing 'S'. If you have trouble getting the modem
- to respond properly, press 'X' from the main menu screen and then increase the
- Command Delay by pressing '>'. To get the program to respond quickly to your
- modem, load the program using /300, /1200, /2400, or /9600. Each of these
- numbers corresponds to the highest baud rate usable by your modem. The program
- defaults to using /300 for compatibility. The program works best when you use
- the highest baud rate your modem will support. If you want to use the program
- without a modem, load the program by typing TPC12 /N. Call collect at
- 1-606-263-2687 if you have any other problems or questions.

- ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │What is THE PHONE CENTER and why is it unique?│
- └──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- The Phone Center is a unique telephone number database/dialer program. It can
- have up to 1000 Phonebook entries. It allows you to have a prefix of up to 30
- characters and each telephone number can have up to 30 characters. This should
- be sufficient for just about any PBX or non-AT&T carrier. It also allows you
- to enter a 39 character note along with each Name and Number entry. In
- addition, the program provides call logging for automatic storage of each name,
- number, and time you make a phone call.
-
- If all this sound like every phone dialer you've seen before, you're right.
- The difference is in the additional features the program includes.
-
- The following is a list of unique features you will find in The Phone Center:
-
- 1. AREA CODE SEARCH.│ This feature provides an instant search window that
- ────────────────────┘ allows you to look up all the area codes for each state
- or province. It also provides for a reverse search that allows you to enter an
- area code to find out what area it applies to. How many times have you gotten
- a message to return a call and wondered where that 205 or 502 area code
- actually is? This program will quickly tell you.
-
- 2. TIME ZONE SEARCH.│ This feature provides an instant search window that
- ────────────────────┘ allows you to look up the time zone of a particular city.
- All times are displayed by their name and by how many hours they depart from
- the Eastern time zone. You can use this feature in conjunction with the Area
- Code Search to find out just what time your caller meant when he or she said
- "Call me at 4:00PM at 1-606-263-2687".
-
- 3. CALCULATOR.│ O.K., this one is not so unusual, but it is a pretty useful
- ──────────────┘ feature to have. In addition, it's a multiline calculator so
- it has some added utility. I'm sure that you've had phone conversations where
- you needed to do some quick calculations, but you couldn't find that stupid
- calculator you had just a minute ago.
-
- 4. ZIPPY CALENDAR.│ This feature displays a calendar of the current month. By
- ──────────────────┘ using the +, -, Page-Up, and Page-Down keys, it will
- display any month from January, 1910 to December, 1999.
-
- 5. QUICK MEMO.│ This feature provides a window for taking notes during phone
- ──────────────┘ calls. Any notes you take can then be sent to the printer. It
- allows you to enter up to 160 characters (2 lines on the printer). You can use
- this feature many times during a phone call to send very long messages to the
- printer.
-
- 6. LOG VIEWER.│ This feature allows you to conveniently view the log file at
- ──────────────┘ any time from the main program. Most dialers just write a file
- and expect you to be able to read it yourself from DOS. This method is much
- more easy to use.
-
- 7. DOS SHELL.│ This feature allows to you quickly exit to DOS if you need to
- ─────────────┘ use any DOS functions while in The Phone Center.
-
- 8. MANUAL DIAL.│ This feature presents you with a telephone keypad that you can
- ───────────────┘ use to dial a number directly from the keypad. One neat thing
- about this feature is that it converts letters directly into numbers. So the
- next time you want to dial that 1-800-4ABUICK number, you don't have to keep
- looking up what numbers go with ABUICK.
-
- 9. ENTRY FINDER.│ This feature allows you to quickly find any Name or Number
- ────────────────┘ stored in the program database. This function makes the
- program much easier to use when there are a lot of entries to search through.
- Also, it can identify what name goes with those "Mystery" numbers we all have
- in our heads.
-
- 10. HANGMAN GAME.│ This is really the most unique feature of the program. How
- ─────────────────┘ many times have you been kept on the phone while the other
- person droned on and on about such fascinating topics as "whatever happened to
- sea monkeys?" Well, in times past you were forced to doodle or just look at
- the ceiling. Now you can do something almost as productive, you can play
- Hangman! The game has been written without sound effects so that it will be
- harder for the droner to tell what you are doing. This version has about 60
- puzzles, while the registered version has 400. It is important to remember to
- occassionally say "Oh", "Hmm", "I guess so", "Sure", and "Ummm yeah" when
- playing this game to avoid detection.
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Miscellaneous Program and Registration Information:
-
- The manual for this program in contained in the help file. To read the help
- file, just run the program and press the F1 key when you get to the main
- program screen.
-
- The program can have up to 1000 database entries. It can have a setup string
- of up to 30 characters, and a prefix string of up to 30 characters. In
- addition, each telephone Number field can have 30 characters. Each Name field
- can be up to 21 characters, and there is room for 39 characters in the Notes
- field.
-
- When the program and documentation refer to COM ports, this is simply the
- number of the serial port the modem is connected to. If you still don't know
- what this means, and your modem is not working, just keep changing the number
- of the COM port using X-Configure until it does work. (Most modems are
- connected to COM 2, and most mice are connected to COM 1).
-
- While using the program, remember that almost every window can be moved around
- the screen using the cursor keys. If you need to exit from anything, just
- press the Escape (Esc) key. The Escape key will also exit the program and
- return you to DOS.
-
- If you choose to register the program, you will receive the enhanced version.
- The enhanced version has no opening or closing delay screens, and has many more
- questions in the hangman game. In addition, purchasing the enhanced version
- entitles you to free updates for a year.
-
- As an added bonus, orders received before June 30, 1993 will include a
- certificate that allows you to purchase the JCSM Shareware Collection CD-ROM
- for only $9.95 + S&H.

- The registration price goes down with the number of copies you buy. 1 copy
- costs $20. 2 or more copies cost $15 each, and 6 or more copies cost $13 each.
