- Discalaimer:
- These programs have been tested extensively and appear to work.
- Even though we take pride in our work and would like to claim that they
- will work under every operating system and every program that accepts
- BIN files, we cannot. Really what we mean is, use at YOUR OWN RISK!! If
- one of these programs malfunctions and destroys your hard drive or other
- miscellaneous parts of your system, well we appologize, but unfortunately
- there is nothing we can do about it.
-
- Also, to keep the lawyers happy, dBASE IV, dBASE III, and dBASE III+ are
- all registered trademarks of Ashton Tate.
-
- To run the sample programs, load dBASE, then type DO exdialX (replace
- the X with a 4 for dBASE IV, or a 3 for dBASE III or III+). Then just
- answer the questions.
-
- Overview-
- Both DIAL1 and DIAL2 do the same basic functions. They dial
- the phone from inside of dBASE (or other programs that accept assembly
- language files that start at ORG 0). Both have been tested under dBASE
- IV and work extremely well. They are very simple to use, if you have
- a modem attached to COM1:, simply 'LOAD' the program DIAL1 (or DIAL2 for
- COM2:), then 'CALL' it with a number to dial. There is no need to append
- an 'ATDT' to the beginning of the number, the program supplies that for
- you.
-
- e.g.
- LOAD DIAL1
- CALL DIAL1 with "1-414-473-7419"
-
- or
-
- LOAD DIAL1
- STORE "1-414-473-7419" to m_phone
- CALL DIAL1 with m_phone
-
- Then press the space bar to hang up the phone. The program will send
- the string 'ATH0', followed by an 'ATZ. The reason we send an 'ATZ'
- (modem reset) is for those modems that automatically hang up for
- whatever error, or time out encountered when DIALx is called again,
- without powering down the modem. It will have no affect (i.e. it will
- do absolutely nothing).
-
-
- If you find either of these usefull to you, or you intend to use either
- one in a program, be it commercial or private, we would hope that you
- will respect the time and money that we have put into these programs.
-
- Please send what you feel the programs are worth to:

- bug reports. By mail, phone (sorry we cannot accept collect calls), or
- leave a message on Exec-PC to Todd Carlson.
