ÚÄ--Introduction
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ--ú ú   ú

   This is a simple little utility which will import the last few callers
from Telegard 3.00+ into Portal of Power 0.62's 'Last Users' display.

ÚÄ--Disclaimer
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ--ú ú   ú

    A wise man once said ...
        ù If it breaks, you own all the pieces ...
        ù No one *made* you use it ...
        ù It works fine here ...
   Therefore, TelePort is only guaranteed to take up drive space.  Use at
your own risk.

ÚÄ--Operation
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ--ú ú   ú

   1.   Unzip this archive wherever you want.  TelePort can run from any
        directory on your drive.

   2.   Set TelePort up to run after a user logs on or when a user logs
        off.  It's at your descretion.
        Execute it as ...

       TelePort {Telegard's Data dir} {Portal's main dir} [Portal Task]

     Telegard's Data Dir
      - This is the complete path to Telegard's Data directory
        (i.e.  D:\Telegard\Data)

     Portal's Main Dir
      - This is the complete path to Portal of Power's main directory
        (i.e.  D:\Portal)

     Portal Task
      - This is an optional parameter.  If included, it is used to denote
        which Portal??.Dat file to write to, where ?? is the current task,
        in hex. The environment variable %PopTask% contains this information
        in a multiline environmeny.
        (i.e.  TelePort D:\Telegard\Data D:\Portal 2   - or -
               TelePort D:\Telegard\Data D:\Portal %PopTask%)
        If this parameter is excluded, TelePort will write to Portal.Dat.

ÚÄ--Notes
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ--ú ú   ú

    ù I've compiled an OS/2 version of TelePort called TelePor2.Exe.  It's
      use is identical to the Dos version, described above.  The source code
      has been updated to reflect the changes.

    ù The complete Pascal source code is included.  See TelePort.Pas for
      the copyright and legal information regarding its use.

    ù There is some rudimentary file-locking used if Share is loaded.

    ù Use OS/2!  Just common sense, but you already knew that.

    I'm just a lowly Pascal programmer trying to do some good in the world.
Therefore, TelePort is released as Freeware.  I will still support it, and

    Good luck, and drop me a line if you like my work.  I would enjoy hearing
thoughts and comments.  Take care.
