				   About WMailer
				  ----------------
		
		
		
		
		This is an EMail product allowing you to send mail messages  
	to other users around a Novell Network. EMail is normally used in 
	busy environments where savings on administration costs and time 
	is important. When you the user, create a document to be sent to 
	another user you can send it with an acknowledgment or notification. 
	If you flag for acknowledgment, when the mail is read by the 
	receiving user, you the sender, will be notified that the message 
	has been read. If the notification flag has been set then the 
	receiver will get a system message on arrival straight away.  
			


		The user receiving your mail is not required to be logged 
	into the server, mail sent will be stored and can be read at a later 
	date when the user starts the WMailer application.
	   


		This system was designed to be easy to use, cheap and is 
	registered per server (not per user). You are able to access up to 
	200 users and 50 groups around a network with WMAILER.

	Technical Notes !
	-----------------

	
	1).. If when you login you would like to be notified of mail waiting
	for you add this entry into your login script....

                IF NEW                FIRE 4
		WRITE "You Have New Mail!"
		PAUSE
		END

	   This will work in either the system login script or your user
	login script.




	2)...  Users such as SUPERVISOR or BACKUP do not normally require 
	mail because they very rarely login. This would mean mail sent to 
	group EVERYONE or any other group who they may be members of get 
	mail, this uses up disk space so a WMAILER.INI file is available. 
	Any users name in this file will automaticaly be removed from the 
	Send list in WMailer.

	(See Example File sulpplied !)


	






	Windows File\Run Option ....

	WMAILER          Starts program.
	WMAILER /CLEAR   Deletes Mail Box and all incoming Mail
	   *WMAILER /?       Info on startup.*

	WMAILER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
	----------------------------
	
	WMAILER is copyrighted software, and all rights are reserved.  
	WMAILER may not be changed or modified in any way except by 
	the author. WMAILER is SHAREWARE and may be freely distributed, 
	as long as it remains in its complete form with all support,  
	documentation, and configuration files. It may be used for a 
	thirty day free trial period. Regardless of how the copy is
	obtained, it is requested that all users comply with the
	following licencing / registration provisions if they  
	continue to use it after the thirty day trial period: 
	

	1. Registration is 50.00 per copy per network server. I need  
	   your name and address for registration, and you are entitled 
	   to:

	a. Use all Minor updates at no cost (except shipping and handling; 
	   see below) provided the registration fee hasn't changed. 
	b. Technical support either by phone (you call me) or by letter.


	2.  Clubs, schools, universities and other non-profit organizations 
		may licence WMAILER for 25.00 per copy. All users would be 
		registered collectively under your name. Update requests and 
		technical support would be through you, since I don't know the  
		names of the individual users, and would be distributed by you  
		to the users.


	WMAILER if distributed must contain all documentation (TXT & HLP 
	files). Archived form is OK to meet this requirement, since it 
	minimizes disk space, if you supply the un-archiving program.
  
	A user may install WMAILER on a Server, provided He/She registers 
	after the thirty day period if it is still being used.  

	Please use the enclosed registration/order form since it allows me 
	to keep better records and keep up !

	You may use all Minor version updates with the same registration 
	fee, with no extra charge once you have registered WMAILER. If you 
	are already a registered site you may upgrade to new Versions of 
	WMAILER for an additional 10.00 unless otherwise notified.
