- OVERVIEW:
-
- "AWAY" MESSAGE CENTER is a small program that allows the user to leave a
- message on his computer screen when he is "Away" from his desk telling others
- where he has gone and what time he expects to return. "Away" also allows
- others to leave a message on the computer for the user to retrieve when he
- returns.
-

-
- AWAY.EXE - Away Message Center Program
- AWAY.DOC - This Documentation File
- AWAY.FRM - A Registration Form
-
- The ShareWare concept is quite simple. Try out this program for a short
- period of time (30 days maximum). If you like it, simply send in the
- Registration form included with this file (AWAY.FRM) along with your
- payment of $14.95. If not, erase the files, discontinuing all use of the
- program.
-
- The ShareWare versions of "AWAY" is identical to the registered version with
- one exception. A brief ShareWare screen that appears in "AWAY" at the
- startup has been removed from the registered version.
-
- REQUIREMENTS: Minimum requirements to use the utilities are an IBM compatible
- computer, DOS 2.xx or higher, 348K RAM memory and a CGA, EGA or VGA graphics
- card.

- ==============
- "AWAY"
- ==============
- To run "AWAY" simply type away.exe at the dos prompt or put away.exe on your
- menu program. Once "AWAY" has been started it will ask you to input up to one
- line of data telling where you have gone. Enter up to a line of text and hit
- the [enter] key. "AWAY" will then ask you for the approximate time you think
- you will be returning. Enter the time in any format you want, i.e., 3:45PM,
- 15:45 pm, Tomorrow, Later, Etc.. "AWAY" will then fill your screen with a
- colorful display telling everyone where you are and when you expect to
- return. "AWAY" will also display a Message Menu to allow others to leave
- messages to you, and allow you to retrieve those messages upon your return.
- "AWAY" even displays at the bottom of the screen how many messages you have
- waiting to be read.
- To exit "AWAY" just hit the [esc] escape key.
- **NOTE**
- Hitting [esc] to exit "AWAY" erases all waiting messages, so be sure you
- have read them before exiting!
