Alphatronics Virtual Port Monitor Version 4.0
         Copyright 1999-2007 Alphatronics, Inc.  
                 All Rights Reserved.

Description
  Virtual Port Monitor redirects printer output to 
  files on disk, naming them automatically, and 
  optionally executing a program upon completion. 
  Features User Selectable Folder, Filename Extension, 
  Multi-Port and Printer Forwarding, Output to Logfile, 
  Store in User Subdirectory, Executable Filename and 
  Parameters, Environment Variable Job Information, and 
  Drag and Drop Spooling to Printers Folder. 

Whats New in Version 4.0?
  A new intelligent installer has been created, enabling 
  the software, in most cases, to be installed without 
  requiring a restart. The user interface has been 
  redesigned to support terminal services via the 
  updated Xcv specification and Soap RPC. It has also 
  been updated to support cluster server configurations. 
  More choices for subfolders and an application wait 
  feature have also been added allowing deletion of the
  output file upon termination.

Installation Notes
  The unregistered version stops after each print 
  displaying a dialog box describing the output 
  filename until a registration number is purchased. 
  Version 3.x users will need to purchase an upgrade 
  license because 3.x registration codes will not work. 

Supported Platforms
  Windows 95, 98, NT/2000 Workstation and Server, 
  XP Home and Professional, 2003 Workstation and 
  Server. 
  
Activation and Deactivation
  Use AVPSetup to activate or deactivate Virtual 
  Port Monitor, or you may use the uninstaller to 
  deactivate and remove Virtual Port Monitor. 

Adding Ports
  Use Printer Properties | Details | Add Port | Other 
  and select Alphatronics Virtual Port to add a Virtual 
  Port. Enter a port name and use the dialog to select 
  the output directory, extension, executable file, and 
  additional local or network ports to receive data. 

Configuring Ports 
  Use Printer Properties | Details | Configure Port 
  to change the output directory, extension, 
  executable file, and additional ports. 

Deleting Ports 
  Use Printer Properties | Details | Delete Port 
  to delete a port. 

Help System 
  Online help is available by clicking the [?] icon in 
  the upper right corner of dialog, then clicking on a 
  control of interest. 

Naming Conventions 
  Automatically named files are named according to the 
  title of he job included in the document info as seen in 
  the printers queue window, along with a 4 digit decimal 
  number to prevent overwriting of existing files. In the 
  event a filename is not supplied to the print monitor, 
  the day, date, and time are used.

Windows NT/2000/XP Notes
  As of version 3.2d, the security information entered 
  into the dialog will be used during the writing of 
  files, ports, printers, and execution of the post-print 
  application. Administrators should be aware that the 
  post-print application acquires the desktop and 
  workstation of the currently logged on user (if 
  there is one) and may enable access to resources for 
  the user if proper care is not taken to prevent it. 
  For this reason, use of accounts with administrative 
  privledges is not recommended.

Environment Variables
  As of version 3.2d, Virtual Port Monitor will launch
  the post-print application with a full set of 
  system environment variables and some additional ones
  with information about the print job. These are:

  AVPBaseFileName   The file name without extension
  AVPComputer       The submitting computer
  AVPCopies         The number of copies in the job
  AVPDriver         The friendly printer name
  AVPExt            The resulting file extension
  AVPFormID         The built-in form ID
  AVPNotify         The user to notify
  AVPOrientation    portrait = 1; landscape = 2
  AVPPages          The number of pages
  AVPPaperLength    The length of the paper in .10 mm
  AVPPaperWidth     The width of the paper in .10 mm
  AVPPath           The path to the print file
  AVPPort           The name of the port printed to
  AVPPrinter        The printer driver name
  AVPResolution     The resolution of the job
  AVPTitle          The original title of the document
  AVPUser           The submitting user
  

  When running a 16 bit application from Windows 9x,
  the additional environment variables will not be 
  directly inherited due to the way Windows handles 
  them. Additional information can be found at Microsoft 
  in article ID Q152648. Windows NT/2000 is unaffected.
  Alphatronics offers a solution to the problem with
  ConRun.exe, which acts as an environment "proxy".
