     ABOUT Server/Getting Started                                      0-1
     
     Server is product from Pelican Software Inc. that combines two utilities,
     SoundOFF and Alarm Server. Server is free with the purchase of Notepad.

     About SoundOFF -

     Have you ever been in a meeting and had the Series 3a alarm start ringing.
     It can be embarrassing. SoundOFF will stop that from happening again.
     Here's how it does it: SoundOFF lets you build a database of events. An
     event represents a future time and date when the sound should be turned
     off.

     SoundOFF will wake up the machine at the minute you want the sound
     turned off. The sound will be turned off. After the event duration is
     completed the machine wakes up and the sound is turned back on so you
     won't miss any future alarms.

     The next earliest event will then be queued. If the event that just
     terminated is repeatable, the time/date of that event will be updated
     before finding the next earliest event.

    Alarm Server -

     The Alarm Server seeks to provide a better method of handling alarms on the
     Series 3a. The Pelican Software Alarm Server, (as opposed to the built in
     alarm server), can snooze an alarm and let you go do something else. The
     machine is fully usable while this alarm is snoozing, or even while the alarm
     is ringing. The snooze time is selectable by you. This way if you're not
     ready to handle an alarm, you can decide to snooze the alarm for 30 minutes,
     (or whatever), and take care of it the next time it rings.



     Getting Started
     

     When you first start The Server you will be prompted to show Server
     your standard sound settings. This is so that the program will know what
     settings to return your sound to when it turns the sound back on. Choose
     "Re-configure sound" to change these settings at a later date. The program
     does this since when you start up SoundOFF your sound may be off, and
     SndOFF would not know what your standard ON settings are.

     Note: There are two views in the Server. There is the Alarm Server
     view and the SoundOFF view. Press the diamond key to switch views.

     Set the diamond position to SoundOFF...

     Press <Enter> to set a New Event. Type in a name for the event. Next type
     in the date, time and duration of the event. If you want the event to
     repeat, set the repeat type. With repeats there are lots of events that
     you only have to enter once.

     For example if you get up every morning to go out and walk, and you don't
     want an alarm going off while you're out walking, just set a SoundOFF
     event in the time slot that you normally go out, and set it to repeat
     Daily.

     Server is Shareware from Pelican Software Inc. If you like it, you can
     register it in a few ways. The price of the program is $20.00 USD. The
     program is crippled in a few ways. You can only have 3 SoundOFF events
     unless you register. When you register, you will receive a registration
     number that will allow you to have as many events as you like.

     Server is free to registered Notepad users. If you are a registered
     Notepad 5 user, and don't have a registration number for Server, contact
     us at Pelican Software Inc. (INTERNET 72662.3050@compuserve.com)

     INSTALLING The Server                                             0-3
     


      Copy Server.opa into any \App directory
      Copy Sys$play.drv into any \App\Aserver directory
      Copy Converta.opo into any \App\Aserver directory
      Copy Npdu.dyl into any \Dyl directory
      Copy Npd.rzc into any \Dyl directory

     Once you have copied the Server.opa file to your S3a, Press Psion<I>
     from the system screen to install the Server. Change the disk selector to
     the disk you installed Server to. Select Server, and press Enter
     to install it. If you need more help with this, see the section on
     re-inserting icons in chapter 16 of the user manual for your Psion.


     AUTO COMPRESS                                                     0-4
     

     The Server auto compresses it's files every time the date changes. This
     keeps updated and deleted records from causing the files to grow large.



     NEW EVENT           SECTION 1 - Event Menu Heading                1-1
     
     Psion<E>

     Use Psion<E>, Enter, or choose "New Event" from the Event pull-down menu
     to create a new event in the SndOFF database. Do this when you want to
     enter a new time for the machine to turn off.

      Fill out the Description. (Give your event a name, like "Lunch meeting".)
      Enter the date and time. Must be a future date.
      Enter the duration of the event.
      Enter the repeat type. There are many repeat types. See the section on
       repeats if you need help with this.



     UPDATE EVENT                                                      1-2
     
     Psion<U>, Psion<Enter>

     Follow the same guidelines as "New Event". This just gives you the
     opportunity of changing the details of an event.



     DELETE EVENT                                                      1-3
     
     Psion<D>,Del

     Use this option when you want to delete an event from the SoundOFF data-
     base. Note that this won't let you delete the current event. You'll
     need to use the "Cancel current" option to do this.


     CANCEL CURRENT EVENT                                              1-4
     
     Psion<C>

     Cancel Current lets you cancel the current queued event. The sound
     will be turned back on when you cancel an event.



     FIND              SECTION 2 - Search Menu Heading                 2-1
     
     Psion<F>

     This option searches through the database to find a particular entry.
     Press Psion<F> to bring up the "Find" dialog.

      Type in a clue to search for, and press Enter. If Server can find
     a match, it will be brought to the front.

     Note: This will search which ever database is active. If you are in
     SoundOFF, the SoundOFF database will be searched. Likewise for the
     Alarm Server.



     FIND AGAIN                                                        2-2
     
     Psion<G>

     Use this option after doing a search, when you want to find another
     match using the same clue.



     VIEW DESCRIPTION                                                  2-3
     
     Psion Shift<V>, spacebar

     This option will bring up an autosized window with the full Description
     of the event/alarm being viewed. Sometimes the description won't fit on
     the screen, so this lets you view the whole text.



     READ AGENDA           SECTION 3 - Agenda Menu Heading             3-1
     
     Psion<R>

     This option starts by finding your Agenda file. If the Agenda is running,
     it will do a safe shutdown. Next it will open the Agenda and start
     searching for appointments. On finding a marked entry, you are given the
     option of editing the data for use with SndOFF. Press Enter to save the
     item to SndOFF, or press Escape to continue searching. When you're done,
     Server will restart your Agenda. Only future appointments are found unless
     you set the "Bring in Old Entries" option.


     ENABLE/DISABLE AUTO SEARCH                                        3-2
     
     Psion Shift<S>

     This is an automated Agenda search that will import all marked
     appointments from your Agenda that are set for the current day. This
     allows you to use SoundOFF entirely in the background. The process
     becomes completely automated. Here's how it works...

     When you choose to "Enable Auto Search", SoundOFF will create a special
     event called "<Auto Search>". The time and date of this event can be
     edited, but not the Description. You should set the Auto Search to happen
     first thing in the morning. When this event comes due, SoundOFF will
     automatically read your Agenda looking for todays appointments, adding
     them to the SoundOFF database. This all happens in the background. This
     event will repeat every day. Of course the Agenda entries must have your
     special character prefix as the first character. (Section 3-3)

     To Disable Auto Search, you can't delete the Event. Instead use the
     menu option "Disable Auto Search". This will delete the event for you.

     Note that when Auto Search adds events from your Agenda, it sets the
     sound to turn off 1 minute after the event begins. This is to give you
     a chance to respond to an alarm. You have one minute to respond to an
     alarm reminding you of the event, and after this the sound is turned
     off. Note that it doesn't matter that the machine is stuck waiting for
     you to clear the alarm. SoundOFF is still working in the background.


     FORCE AUTO SEARCH                                                 3-3
     
     Psion<M>     Registered only

     Use this feature when you've made a change to your schedule during the
     day. SoundOFF will delete all of todays entries in the SoundOFF data-
     base, and re-open the Agenda to re-import todays appointments. Note
     that only database entries brought in using the "Auto Search" method
     are deleted. Database entries typed in from SoundOFF are not deleted.

     When using "Force Auto Search" the Auto Search event is not changed
     in any way. This is the best way to do an update of daily appointments
     in the SndOFF database.



     PREFERENCES         SECTION 4 - Special Menu Heading              4-1
     
     Psion<Q>

     There are two preferences areas, Alarm Server and SoundOFF.

     SoundOFF:
     You must choose this option before you can read Agenda files. Show SndOFF
     where you default Agenda file is. It must know this in order to know which
     Agenda file to open.

              ----------------------------------------
                        SoundOFF Preferences
             Bring Server to Front After Setting Sound
             Turn Machine off after Setting Sound
                         Agenda Preferences
                . Default Agenda Name  <-filename->
                                 Disk   internal
                . Character to Search for     ^
                . Bring in Old Entries      <-No->
              ----------------------------------------

     The option called "Turn Machine off after setting sound" will turn the
     power off on the machine after making a change in your sound. This was
     requested by users to conserve batteries. The only bad side affect of this
     is that if you are using the machine when SoundOFF turns the sound on or
     off, your machine will power down. It's not a bad tradeoff though if you're
     worried about conserving battery power.

     Note that the "Character to Search" option allows you to enter a character
     identifier for SndOFF to look for. SndOFF will only allow you to bring in
     Agenda entries that begin with this character. This is the method you use
     for telling SndOFF which appointments can be brought into the SndOFF data-
     base.

     If it's still not clear, go into your Agenda. Go into the day view, and
     press Enter to start a new entry. If your "Character" is a period<.>,
     start by typing a period, and then the rest of your message. ( .This is a
     test ) SndOFF will find this entry and pass over all others that don't
     begin with your "Character". The character can be any character you can
     type in. The entry must be a future entry when using Auto Search.

     "Bring in Old Entries" forces SndOFF to search even old entries as long
     as they begin with your special character identifier. Turn this on only
     when you need to bring in an old entry. Remember that in SndOFF you have
     repeats. You may have an old entry that you want to bring-in because it
     repeats. Note: This works when using "Read Agenda File", not Auto Search.
     Auto Search brings in entries from today only.


     SET SOUND                                                         4-2
     
     Psion<S>

     This does exactly the same thing as Pressing Psion<S> from the system
     screen to set your sound.


     RE-CONFIGURE SOUND                                                4-3
     
     Psion Shift<Q>

     Use this option when you want to reset your default sound settings for
     SndOFF. To explain this better, SndOFF needs to know what your standard
     sound settings are so that when it turns your sound back on, it will
     set all of your sound settings correctly. When you choose this option,
     you are just showing the program what your default settings are.


     VERSION                                                           4-4
     
     Psion<V>

     Displays the version number in lower right corner.


     ABOUT Server                                                      4-4
     
     Psion<A>

     Tells you how to Register Server.


     EXIT                                                              4-5

     Psion<O>

     Pressing Psion<O> brings up a dialog where all you have to decide
     is how many hours you want the machine sound off for. This is for the
     emergency situation when you don't have the time to spend filling out
     the normal "New Event" dialog.


     OVERLAPPING EVENTS                                                5-5
     

     Note that SoundOFF at this time doesn't handle overlapping events. In
     other words you have to watch out not to schedule timed events that
     overlap each other, and expect SoundOFF to correctly turn the sound
     off for these. It won't. Suppose you have a meeting at 6:00pm that you've
     set for 1 1/2 hrs. and Dinner at 7:00pm. SoundOFF will turn the sound
     off at 6:01 pm and won't look for new events until 1hr 29min later. By
     this time when the sound turns on, your Dinner appointment is considered
     an old event and is dropped.

     There is a 2 minute minimum duration for an event in order for SoundOFF
     to work correctly. This only applies to events imported using the "Auto
     Search" feature.

     Here's how it works:

     SoundOFF starts an event 1 minute after the appointment time in the Agenda
     file. It does this to give time for you to respond to a alarm if one was
     set. Since it starts one minute later, it has to take one minute off of the
     duration. An event with a one minute duration wouldn't work because
     SoundOFF would be starting the event, and the event would already have
     finished. Sounds confusing, I know. Suffice it to say that back to back
     events with a duration of one minute will not work.


     WHAT WILL SOUNDOFF DO TO MY AGENDA FILE?                         5-6
     

     Nothing! It only opens your Agenda file for read only. SoundOFF never
     writes to your Agenda file, and therefore CANNOT corrupt it. You can use
     SoundOFF without fear.



     ALARM SERVER             SECTION 6 - Alarms                       6-1
     

     The Alarm Server seeks to provide a better method of handling alarms on the
     Series 3a. The Pelican Software Alarm Server, (as opposed to the built in
     alarm server), can snooze an alarm and let you go do something else. The
     machine is fully usable while this alarm is snoozing, or even while the
     alarm is ringing. The snooze time is selectable by you. This way if you're
     not ready to handle an alarm, you can decide to snooze the alarm for 30
     minutes,(or whatever), and take care of it the next time it rings.

     The Alarm Server makes use of the built in sounds of the S3a.
     You can save an alarm with any of the default sounds, or any sounds
     in any \wve directory.

     You can also access any .wve files that are located in any \wve directory
     on any S3a drive. If you choose a wve file and then later remove this file,
     "Fanfare" will be substituted.


     REPEATING ALARMS -

     The Alarm Server also handles repeating alarms. There are many options for
     repeating an alarm.


     Here's a list of the possibilities:

            REPEATS:                EXAMPLES:
            --------                ---------
            Hourly                  (every x hours)
            Daily                   (Every x days)
            Workday                 (Workdays, based on your system settings)
            Restday                 (Restdays, based on your system settings)
            Weekly                  (Weekly)
            Monthly by date         (same date next month)
            Monthly by day          (same day of week , next month, like third Wed.)
            Yearly                  (same day next year. Knows about leap years)



     Now this looks fairly simple and it is. What you see is what you get.
     But there is a method behind how they work in certain situations.

     METHOD:

     All repeating alarms repeat based on the original time and date recieved.
     What this means is that when an alarm is specified as being a repeating
     alarm, the time and date for the alarm is saved to file. If at any time
     the time and date are changed by using the snooze option
     from within the Alarm Server, the original date for the repeat does not
     change. If it did change, the repeat information would change too. In
     most cases this is not what you want when you hit the snooze button.
     (you can still snooze and reset repeating alarms, but the original time
     and date are saved also.)

     Example:  You have a yearly alarm set for a family members birthday, and
     it rings to tell you to give him(her) a call. For argument sake lets say
     it's set to ring at 9:30pm. Well at 9:30 it rings and you hit the
     snooze button, and again at 10:30, etc... The next time it rings, it's
     after 12:00(12hr format) and now is the next day. If the Alarm Server
     was to reset the repeat based on the new time, it would ring a day late
     the next year, at 12:30am. This situation can be applied to all alarms
     and this is why repeating alarms are all based on their original time
     and date.

     Now there is a way to change this: In order to change this, change the
     alarm date/time in Notepad, or the edit option in the Alarm Server.
     In these cases, it is assumed that you want to change the actual time
     the repeat is based on.


     NEW ALARM                                                         6-2
     
     Psion Shift<E>, or Enter when in Alarm Server view.

     To enter a New Alarm...
          . fill out the Message, press enter
          . fill out the time/date
          . choose a sound
          . choose the repeat type if you want it to repeat
          . Link to a Macro (if appicable - Macsys.opa must be present)
          . Press Enter to save, or menu key to test sound.


     UPDATE ALARM                                                      6-3
     
     Psion Shift<U>, or Psion<Enter> when in Alarm Server view.

     To edit an Alarm...
          . Update the time/date
          . Update the sound
          . Update the repeat type
          . Update Link to a Macro (if appicable - Macsys.opa must be present)
          . Press Enter to save, or menu key to test sound.


     DELETE ALARM                                                      6-4
     
     Psion Shift<D>, or Delete when in Alarm Server view.

     Removes an alarm. If an alarm is pending, it is stopped.


     SHOW TODAY'S                                                      6-5
     
     Psion<T>

     Shows only alarms due today. Pressing Enter on an alarm brings it up.


     FORCE REPEAT                                                      6-6
     
     Psion<P>

     Use this option to force an alarm to repeat. Of course the alarm has
     to be set to repeat. If it is not set to repeat, you'll have to update
     it first, indicating a repeat of some kind.


     DISABLE ALARM                                                     6-7
     
     Psion<->

     Using this feature you can disable an alarm without deleting it. This
     is helpful when you have alarms that are used often, but from time to
     time aren't needed.


     SNOOZING ALARMS                                                   6-8
     

     When an alarm rings in Server, you have three choices.
        . Reset the alarm
        . Snooze the alarm
        . Clear the alarm

     If you choose to Snooze the alarm, the Server uses the preferences to
     determine how long to snooze the alarm for. While it is snoozing, you
     have access to the machine again. (Even while it's ringing, you can
     press the system icon to leave the alarm in the background)

     If you choose "Reset", you have the option of editing the alarm,
     or choose "Tomorrow" to force the alarm to go off tomorrow. Tomorrow
     is set in the preferences. This gives you a way to press a button that
     makes the alarm ring again tomorrow.


     ALARMS WITH NOTEPAD                                               6-9
     

     The Alarm Server can work hand in hand with any application that is
     set up to work with it. One of these applications is Notepad. Notepad
     5.2 or higher sends it's alarms directly to the Server, instead of to
     the built-in Alarm handler. When the Server starts up you may see it
     flash a message saying "Checking Mail.box". It will check it's own
     mailbox at startup to see if there are any messages that need to be
     processed. Of course if the Server is not running when these messages
     were sent, some of the alarms in the mailbox could be old. In this case
     the Server just dumps them.

     Unlike earlier versions of the Pelican Alarm Server, you will never get
     a busy message in Notepad when the Alarm Server is accessing it's data
     file. The program has been redesigned to eliminate this problem.


     ALARMS WITH MACSYS                                               6-10
     

     Macsys is a macro program for the S3a written by Tom Dolbilin. It is
     Freeware, and can be downloaded on Compuserver, AOL, Cix, or various
     places on the Internet. (src.doc.ic.ac.uk)

     Server allows you to create alarms that really just trigger a
     Macro to run. If you don't want to hear any sound when the macro runs,
     use "Silent" as the alarm. No dialog will come up like with an alarm.
     This way the alarm starts the macro running without any prompting from
     the user. This has unlimited potential. It could possibly start an
     online session by launching an off-line-reader. (As long as the reader
     supports an auto run mode.)

     A macro alarm like this could bring a certain program to foreground
     while you are sleeping, send messages to an app that supports
     Interprocess communication (IPC). Notepad can recieve messages in this way.
     A good example might be to run an notepad plugin that brings your Notepad
     entries for today into your todo list. With a Macro this can happen
     completely unattended. The rest is up to your imagination.<g>


     Converting Pre 2.0 Files                                          7-1
     

     Since Server 2.0 uses new repeats, it also requires that the Sound Off
     and Alarm Server databases be converted. We have done our best to
     auto-convert these files, and had users test the conversions with
     their own files. It is possible that there is a situation that we
     have not run into in our testing, and that your Server files may not
     convert perfectly, or at all. If this should happen, there are two
     options.

         Send us your files and we will convert them
         Rename/Delete the alarm.dat and Sndoff.dbf files, and restart
          Server.
