WHAT IS ROLL CALL?
------------------------------------------------------------------
Roll Call is a software replacement of the in and out board commonly found in
offices. It is a Windows application that works across common networks, is
simple to use and provides several advantages over its wall mounted rival.

The main fallacy of in and out boards is people forget to change their status.
With Roll Call, you only need to remember to change it when you leave your
desk, not when you return. When you touch your mouse or keyboard for the first
time after being away from your desk, Roll Call will automatically change your
status to desk. If you happen to leave your desk and forget to change your
status, Roll Call will change it to idle after a given amount of time. This
last feature is optional.

Roll Call saves you time when you do remember to change your status by
defaulting to a reasonable return time. If lunch, the current time plus the
typical amount of time you take for lunch. If home, the next business day at
your typical arrival time. The calculation of the next business day considers
company holidays that you provide and weekends.

Roll Call provides additional information. Associated with each employee
record is a notes section, group list, email address and a phone list. The
notes section can be used to advise others of your future plans to be out of
the office or away from your desk. Groups are useful because Roll Call can be
filtered to only show employees associated with a particular group. Therefore,
when a potential customer calls, the receptionist can use Roll Call to quickly
determine which sales person is available.

The installation of Roll Call is a simple two step process. The first step is
to run the server setup. The server setup installs the database and client
setup onto a network drive. The second step is to run the client setup on each
PC. The client setup will install a 16-bit version of Roll Call if the client
PC is running Windows 3.1. Else, the user will have a choice of installing the
16-bit or 32-bit version. The 16-bit version does not support groups. However,
it loads faster and requires less resources. Roll Call does not require an
additional process that runs on the server to maintain the database. The
database is cooperatively maintained by each running copy of Roll Call.

The unregistered version of Roll Call does not contain "nag" screens, and is
not time-limited. However, you will be limited to 5 users until you register.
