WHAT IS 'ELSEWARE'?
ELSEWARE is a set of programs which will allow you to use your PC
from anywhere. ELSEWARE is identical to commercially available
software which makes the same claim with one important exception...
ELSEWARE is free.
One of my responsibilities is to write and support voice response
and recognition software. Most of the systems are on the other side
of the country and finding the right remote access software was
very important to me.
What I discovered is that all the programs available commercially
which allow you to use a PC from remote take up too much memory and
are too sluggish. Some of my voice response systems would not leave
enough DOS CORE memory to allow any of the commercial programs to
load. There is also a general lack of ability to control the time
slicing with any of the commercial programs and this is something I
had to have in order to support certain voice response systems
remotely.
So I wrote my own and have used it successfully ever since.
The EWH.EXE host module requires ONLY ABOUT 8K ( 8000 bytes! ).
An additional 6-8K will be allocated for screen buffers.
Dpending on how you set the time slicing it is as fast if not
FASTER than any commercial remote access software I have tried.
The product has grown since version 2.1. Setup screens and
HELP screens are now standard. More features are being added
so watch for new releases. If you register your copy I'll mail
new versions directly to you AS SOON AS THEY ARE AVAILABLE!
ELSEWARE is FREEWARE, not SHAREWARE. You can copy and distribute
it as freely as you like. No strings attached. It has served
me well and I hope it will do the same for you.
PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION
The documentation is in plain ASCII format and contains
FORM FEED characters.
Just use 'COPY EW.DOC PRN' to send the documentation to
the printer. The files should end up on paper properly
paginated and ready to be punched with holes on the left.
