SecureCom ver. 1.01W for Win95/NT Copyright (c) 1998 by Gary L. Robinson *********************************************************** *********************************************************** SecureCom is a small and fast personal communication tool. It is designed to hook two people up directly (without using the IRC channels, servers, IP servers, etc.) for a one-on-one personal text mode chat. SecureCom utilizes two "Hailing features" to accomplish this. One Hailing feature uses a built in seamless e-mail facility to send your current IP address to another SecureCom user in a specially coded e-mail letter. The other user (who is checked into the net and has SecureCom running in Monitor ON mode) will receive the message and prompt him to connect or not connect. The other Hailing feature utilizes the use of an internal TCP/IP server that listens on a preassigned port for direct connection requests. One SecureCom user can Hail another user via the Internet and/or a Lan directly by just knowing their IP address. It sends the Hail (connection request) directly to the IP address and is handled by SecureCom's internal server that prompts the user to accept or decline the connection. Either of these Hailing methods can be used independently of one another. One button Hailing makes it a simple and painless way to connect on the Internet or the local network.. No other servers, e-mail or support software are needed. This Windows 95/NT version requires Windows 95 or Windows NT with TCP/IP installed and an internet connection with a mail account. *********************************************************** *********************************************************** Installing SecureCom for Windows 95/NT After you have unzipped the SC100W.ZIP file, copy SECOM.EXE and ReadSC.DOC to a directory (folder) and put a shortcut on your Desktop for SECOM.EXE. SecureCom will create (during use) several data files, temporary files and it's own .INI file. The ReadSC.DOC help file is not required for SecureCom to function properly but is required if you want or need to access the SecureCom help file through the Help menu. NOTE : The ReadSC.DOC can be read with WordPad or Word 6.0 or later. If you are already registered you must also copy your main.key file to the same folder as the SECOM.EXE file to keep the program registered. *********************************************************** *********************************************************** For questions or problem reports contact : Gary L.
