-----+ 09-12-1997 +---------------------------
Added some features from YoUr wish-list.
+ Option to choose your own serial-device and device number
+ Terminal can now be choosen to run as Backdrop or a new Window.
+ Terminal can now dial both 8N1 and 7E1 serial modes
+ added some extra GSM providers Phonenumber to use with the Terminal option
Terminal has changed a little..
Running terminal you are immediately asked to provide a GSM providers
phonenumber (or choose one from the list).
To be honest.. the whole Terminal will be "re-done" for I'm not completely
happy with it.. but it works!
-----+ 02-12-1997 +---------------------------
Added a very important and easy feature.. a Terminal.
After choosing your destination you then have a new menu option "Terminal".
Choosing this you will get the "Checkdetails" message again. If all details
are correct you click on "OK". At that point your Workbench screen turns
into a simple terminal screen with menu options.
[Amiga]D = Dial provider
[Amiga]N = Insert GSM destination number
[Amiga]M = Insert created SMS text.
[Amiga]Q = Leave Terminal.
By using this terminal you can dial your GSM provider, if the "normal" way of
AsmsC is not supported (in other words.. if your provider does not support
the EMI protocol.) By choosing the menu option "Dial provider" you already
get some pre-defined provider-numbers, if yours is not one of them, please
contact your provider and ask for the Phonenumber to send SMS messages to,
using Text.
Normally you would send SMS messages this way, using Term, Ncomm or simular
programs.
If things are not clear, or you have problems.. please let me know.
Also.. if you want to have an extra phonenumber added as default in the
"Terminal dial" option, please let me know.
-----+ 20-11-1997 +---------------------------
*AsmsC now supports:All Providers that use EMI protocols
(like PTT Telecom; D2; Natel D)
*Better dialing procedure (with timeout)
*Providers Telephonenumber in International format for use anywhere in Europe.

-----+ 16-11-1996 +---------------------------
Just a small bug-fix..
After sending the SMS message the window closed immediately, without giving you
the opportunity to view if the SMS-send was succesfull.
Fixed!
-----+ 15-11-1997 +---------------------------
New features..
- Easy and flexible Phonebook
allowing to store Phonenumber with names and comments
- [registred]Users can now send pre-defined messages.
- Can use International acces-codes
- Save customized settings [registred users only]
- Easy Pop-up window to choose destination
Bug fixes..
- On some Amiga's the sending of the SMS message didn't proceed correctly.
This was due to the fact that the message was send to fast for the GSM provider
to translate and data wend missing.
- Limitations..
Yep, even I had to create a Shareware version of AsmsC, considering the costs for testing
sms messages etc and the work done on it, I thought it would be fare to ask for a small
amount of money, thus ensuring the users to get updates frequently and expand the program
to have more options and perhaps let you send SMS messages through e.g. Internet or
be able to send SMS messages to Text - buzzers as well.
Current limitations:
- The Phonebook can only hold 5 records
- Printing the Phonebook has been disabled
- Saving Customized setting has been disabled
- Pre-defined message texts has been disabled
All other function work a 100%..
- Shareware contribution
Simply send all your details to the address at the end of this file.
Together with a Euro-cheque equilevant to around Fl 20,= (e.g. DM20 or
7 Pounds or about US$10). Or you can deposite the money on my bank-account,
together with your email address. I will then contact you.
This will ensure you of all the features mentioned above send to your home
address (or via Email if you like) + automatic updates via Email.
If you have any questions, please write or email me

+--10-11-1997--+
After several [positive] response throughout Europe, I've now completely
rewritten Asms into AsmsC. Enabling also other people in different countries
to send SMS messages to Mobile Phones.
-
This program enables persons to send SMS message to Mobile phones.
It's finally into version 1.2 wich adds some nice handy features.
No documents (except for this readme) are including since it's all straight forward easy..
At startup you will see a window that allows you to fill-in the phone number
of the (Mobile) person you want to send the message to.
You can either type in a number or use the arrow down button to choose from a
Phonebook entry.
Then you can (if you wish) insert a recepients number. The person receiving
the message will know who send it..
The Pull down menus allow you to change various setting. They all come with
Help buttons, so I won't go into them here. Please note that you have to
change the phonenumber for your GSM provider in the pull-down menus and set
them to your providers number. The one at default is for use ONLY in
The Netherlands. (ask your GSM provider for the number you should use)
Off course do not forget to change the message text. Remember only
160 characters possible with SMS, you will be notified if you exceed
the 160 characters. (Future version might allow you to go to >500 characters,
depending on your provider)
If you're done press the Phone button that is now enabled. You will then see
all the details you have entered. If any of these are not to your
satisfaction, choose Cancel to change them.
- PHONEBOOK
You can add new records with the "NEW"-button.
Delete records with the "DELETE"-button.
Save your Phonebook with the "SAVE"-button.
Print the Phonebook with the "PRINT"-button
To Edit a record in the Phonebook, simply click on the name in the view window and you
can instantly change the Name, Number and comments in the appropiate rectangles.
Pressing enter will change them immediatly.
Click on OK if you are done, or Reload to load the last saved version..
INSTALLATION
- As off version 1.3 the Speech option has been implemented. You need the narrator.device
to be able to use this option. If no narrator.device can be found in the DEVS: directory
AsmsC will simply not run. (if speech option is turned on)
- Make sure you have the included fonts installed.
- Keep the Data directory save. Any files missing and the program will simply
not run.
- No assigns needed.
Furter development:
- Choose several destinations to send one message to
- Allow you to password protect the "send"-button.
- Speech option [Implemented in version 1.3]
- More Phonebook development (e.g. Sort records)
- Online SMS registration
- Many, many more....
Known bugs/problems:
- Only one.. Sometimes you can have some troubles with the dialling part,
due to line-interference etc... Ifso Note that you can always exit the
Dialling window by pressing the close button in case you are having
troubles. This will end the connection and bring you back into
the main window.
I need to know from you..
- the phone number from other providers (e.g. Libertel for Holland, Vodafone
for the UK) what can handle the SMS messages.
- suggestions...
Please let me know!
p.s. note that providers do charge you a small amount for sending SMS
message.. it's not completely free.
THIS SOFTWARE IS SHAREWARE.
