Installation of the program.
It is not required of special installation.
1.Place files connect.exe, HelpR.htm, HelpE.htm and connect.ini
in the separate catalogue (For example, CONNECT).
2.Move a file comdlg32.ocx to a folder \WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
3.The file \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Msvbvm50.dll is necessary for work of
the program, check up, whether there is it at you? If is not
present, it is necessary to establish, it is used in many
programs and is already in the distribution kit WINDOWS98SE, and
in Internet to find it difficultly.
Work of the program.
After start connect.exe atop of all windows of the working
applications the main window of the program will appear which can
be moved to any place, convenient for you, of the screen, keeping
the left button of the mouse.The coordinates of a rule of a
window will be written down in a file connect.ini for the
following starts of the program.
All operations are accessible from the contextual menu, which is
caused by pressing of the right button of the mouse. Here the
list of teams of management: Options, Disconnected, Help, Exit (see also).
While there is no connection with Internet, the program is in a
mode "Wait", one counter <System time> works
only. If the connection is established, all counters begin to
work.
It is necessary to mean, that in a mode "Adjustment"
the moment of connection to Internet will not be noticed, since
all counters are switched off.
All adjustments save in a file connect.ini, which should be in
that the catalogue, as connect.exe, if it is not present, it will
be created with adjustments " by default ". The file
connect.log will be in that the catalogue, and to contain the
basic information on a course of performance of the programs
given about each session connection will be finished to already
available.The file connect.log can be edited in any text editor,
by removing unnecessary or out-of-date records; If a file to
remove absolutely, it will be created at first start connect.exe.
Contents
The adjustment is made in a window of "Options".
Start of the programs.
The start of three programs, chosen by the user, can be
executed manually by button <Run> or automatically at start
connect.exe, if a tag "Auto" was established earlier.
Language
of the interface.
Two languages of the interface are accessible: Russian or
English.
Alternative management.
Except for the contextual menu (the right key of the
mouse) is possible to operate the program by two ways:
1)The double click by the mouse on fields of counters corresponds
to a choice of elements of the contextual menu.
2)The shortcuts, work even then, when the main window inactively.
| 1.Field of the counter | 2.Shortcuts | Operation | Note |
| The counter of time of connection | Ctrl + Shift + O | Options | Window of adjustment of the program |
| The counter of money expenses | Ctrl + Shift + D | Disconnected | To break off connection |
| The rest on the account | Ctrl + Shift + H | Help | This file |
| System time | - | Exit | To close |
If any way of alternative management only prevents your work
(for example, at casual clicks of the mouse on fields of counters
there are unnecessary switching-off from a line or the
combination of keys of fast access already somewhere by you is
used), it is necessary to remove a tag of the sanction of the
given management.
Appearance
of a window.
If you do not want constantly to have before eyes of the
indication of any counters, it is necessary simply to remove a
unnecessary tick "Show".
The
used tariffs.
Quantity of the tariffs, used by you, practically beyond
all bounds. For addition in the list of the new tariffs it is
enough to type the necessary range of time, cost of one business
hour and to press the button Ins; the removal is made by the
button Del. Used in the given session of connection the line
should be noted by a tick.
Correction.
Process of connection to network server, with which you
work, for the different users different, it depends on many
factors (adjustment of the removed access, quality of the
communication line - the losses of time arise at comparison of
the password and name - and other). For this reason the option
"Correction" in seconds was entered.For the task of
this parameter it is necessary after several sessions of
connection to compare parameter " Time of connection "
(Time) from a file connect.log, created by the program, to the
data of the server of statistics, with which you work. At me, for
example, T of correction ~ 5 seconds.
The divergences of the indications of the counter of the money
rest CounterConnection and of server of statistics nevertheless
are inevitable, but at correct adjustment are very insignificant,
sometimes (for example, of time per one week) it is possible them
to compare and to change in a window of "Options"
parameter " The rest on the account ".
All adjustments save by
pressing a key <OK>, <Cancel> - return to former
adjustments.
If you will have questions or any offers
and wishes, write. All letters will be necessary considered, and
the necessary changes are brought in to the program.
