                                   -----
     
     This version of Private Secretary(tm) is distributed as ShareWare.
     
     You may evaluate the program for up to 30 days.  If you continue
     using the program beyond that period, you are required by copyright
     law to pay the registration fee of $25, or delete all uncompressed
     copies of the program and its supporting files.
     
     You may share unregistered copies of the program to other
     individuals, clubs, groups and local BBS services.  You may not
     charge for it or distribute it on media for which a charge is made
     without permission from Integrated Support Technology.
     If you wish to distribute copies to National or International BBS
     services or other major distribution channels, please contact
     Integrated Support Technology first to insure these services get the
     most recent version.

     If you received the program in the original compressed file format,
     it will not include the data files that Private Secretary creates
     automatically and this is the BEST way to pass it on since it will
     insure that the recipient will get the complete file package with
     documentation.
     
                                !! IMPORTANT !!
     
     If you do not have the compressed file package, and wish to share
     copies of the program, be sure to copy the complete file package as
     described below.  However, DO NOT distribute the files with the "PS_"
     prefix or your settings and phone numbers could be distributed
     world-wide in a matter of months.  I will get lots of calls because
     the default settings weren't set right and you will get lots of
     unexplained pages or calls.  If you received the "PS_" files with the
     program, DELETE them before you run the program for the first time. 
     Private Secretary will make a fresh set just for you.  At the DOS
     prompt>DEL PS_*.DAT, will do the trick.
     =====================================================================
                                FILE PACKAGE

                                  SUPPORT
                                  -------
     
     Private Secretary is a fully supported program.
     
     Prior to program registration, free technical support is available
     via E-mail, FAX  or postal correspondence at the numbers and
     addresses listed under Registration, which are answered promptly.
     
     While these are always the preferred methods, If you do not have
     access to these forms of communication, you may call (408) 370-1773.
     The best time to call is between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM Pacific Time 
     Mon-Sat.  If you get a recording, please leave a detailed message
     regarding your question, allow at least 24 hours to formulate a
     solution and then try again.
     =====================================================================
                              INITIAL START UP
                              ----------------
     
     When Private Secretary starts the first time, it will present the
     "Auto Registration" screen.  If you are not yet registered, just
     answer N (no) and skip to the next paragraph.  If you have a
     previously registered version, place this version in the same
     directory as your registered copy and your settings files, and have
     your serial number handy.  Answer Y (yes), and this version will lead
     you through the automatic registration sequence and will use your
     existing settings, adding any new features to them when it starts up.
     
     After the credits screen, Private Secretary creates a series of small
     files it uses to store program settings, phone numbers and reminder
     times as outlined above.  As part of this sequence, it will bring up
     the Phone Number settings screen the first time it runs.  What it is
     asking for is the phone number of your pager or another phone that
     you want it to call when it notifies you of calls received.  You can
     enter a number when the screen comes up or just press ENTER and bring
     it up under the Settings Menu later. 
     =====================================================================
                             GENERAL INFORMATION
                             -------------------
     
     One IMPORTANT concept to remember is that Private Secretary does not
     hear or send voice information (it leaves that task to your answering
     machine).  It does its thing by detecting the ring signal sent to it
     by your modem and then uses the modem to dial out to you and send you
     a series of touch tones to identify itself and send you a "Digital
     Message".  It does not know, and therefore can not report, who called
     or what the message was.  You get this information by retrieving the
     messages on your answering machine.  Through use of special ring
     timing sequences (explained in more detail in the PSGUIDE), it can be
     set up to recognize when you are retrieving your messages and not to
     dial out for those calls.
     
        _______________________________________________________________

     Private Secretary requires the following hardware:
     
             * Hayes/AT compatible auto-dial modem.
             * Any standard remote call pick-up answering machine.
               (to provide the voice-mail capabilities)
             * P/C AT or higher w/CGA monitor or higher.
               (some XTs may work depending on the manufacturer)
             * DOS 3.1 or higher. (lower versions MAY work)
             * Digital Pager Service (Recommended)
     
     Because Private Secretary waits for a response at the sign on screen,
     the power failure (restoration) reporting feature of Private
     Secretary will not work until the program is registered.  Once
     Private Secretary is registered, the sign on/sign off screens will go
     away and Private Secretary will run without intervention allowing the
     power fail reporting feature to perform when selected by the user.
     
     Although it would greatly reduce the cost of distribution, it is not
     feasible to attempt to include the 40+ page illustrated manual in the
     file package (the source for which is nearly a half a megabyte).
     Formatting the illustrations with ASCII characters,just so we could
     do so, would not do justice to the program or to you.  Therefore, the
     documentation supplied is not intended to replace the manual but
     hopefully will provide enough basic information for you to get
     Private Secretary up and running quickly and give it a good work out.
     If you encounter any problems, see the support section above.
