In Offices all over the
world, there is a serious communications problem. Especially at lunch-time.
The problem is simple; how
do you let your mates know What pub, Where and When.
Now, the answer is here...
WinPub lets you announce
to all who care, which pub, and what time. Select the pub from the pulldown
and press Send. Anyone else running WinPub will get a popup like the one
below.
Instant piece of mind, and
no need to worry about wasting valuable time arguing the toss.
Put winpub in your startup
folder on your Windows (3.x / 95) machine.
Winpub is available here.
If you don't have VBRUN300.DLL then download
it and put it in your Windows\System folder.
Finally, you'll to install
the server software on your nearest UNIX box.
It takes almost no load and is very simple. You also dont need to be root,
any user can install and run it. If you dont have any UNIX machines then
you dont deserve to run anything this useful.
So far I've compiled and
run it on FreeBSD and Linux with no problems. Other systems shouldnt have
a problem, but if they do then diffs are welcome.
