No need to stop and save what you are doing and enter a contact database. When the phone rings press the hot key; Cntrl-Y, and YDPOP will save your place and become active. You can then record memo notes and look up information. This is very handy when someone calls and your memory needs help. All data fields can be searched, one piece of information will quickly find the rest of the record. This is very handy if you deal with many clients or do alot of cold calling.Upon completion of the call press the escape key and YDPOP will restore your place and you can continue without loosing any time. With YDPOP you can share address information with other programs. No longer do you have to grab the rolodex or write down the address after looking it up on the screen.

An Area Code/State lookup feature that given AC or State the other will be shown. Quick where is AC 303 or Whats the AC for NEBRASKA (Both will be shown). See the end of this file for additional info to set up your local phone exchange file. Most areas will not be anywhere near as difficult or long as the Washington DC metro area. NEW with Version 2.2J is the addition of a CALENDAR CREATOR. Calendar is a stand alone program using the YDPOP data files in the current path to create a Dot Matrix or LaserJet calendars. To Use type CALENDAR at at DOS prompt. YDPOP does not use a lot of memory when inactive. YDPOP leaves a "footprint" of 4K while inactive or popped down. Ydpop automatically locates itself in EMS or XMS memory when available, or on your hard drive when memory is not available. YDPOP works with most 16 color VGA graphics programs. Typically you should install YDPOP in a subdirectory named YDPOP and use the DOS command c:\ydpop\ydpop to install YDPOP in the background. You may substitute other directory names in place of YDPOP. Add the command line- C:\ydpop\ydpop into your autoexec.bat file for automatic loading of YDPOP when the computer is turned on. YDPOP is very useful within a text based word processor as a rotory name file. YDPOP can type the address directly into your letter using an export feature. YDPOP has the ability to attach up to 200 lines of memos to each record. While working within a DOS program and YDPOP is running in the background, when the phone rings you press Control-Y, answer the phone, determine who the caller is and search for their record. At this point all the past memos can be displayed for your quick reference. This will greatly "enhance" your memory, and with the dates of memos displayed will give a chronology of your contacts with the individual or company. This demo version is limited to 200 contact records. The registered version will also allow the use of an unlimited number of subdirectories. Please register for a full featured version. The main keys to remember when using YDPOP are the slash key /, the F1 key, the F2 key and the escape key. Slash Key / = Will display a menu of available commands F1 Key = Will display a scrollable help screen. Use the up and down arrow to view the entire help message. F2 Key = Allows access to a completed cell for editing. A blank cell may be filled by typing directly into the cell. Once filled you must press the F2 key to edit the cell. This feature acts to protect your data from errant keystrokes. Escape Key = The escape key "escapes" from the current operation and moves backward a single step. While the record is displayed, press- ing escape will exit the popup and return to your calling prog- ram. YDPOP includes a two mode (Hewlett Packard, and Standard) calculator with export features and a perpetual calendar. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ORDERING YDPOP REGISTERED VERSION: │ │ │ │You may order YDPOP with access to 100,000 records and multiple directories│ │by sending $20.00USA funds to: │ │ │ │ CorVet Systems, Inc. │ │ 1714 Featherwood Street │ │ Silver Spring, Md. 20904-6659 │ │ │ │Please include $3.00 per copy for shipping and handling. │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ╔════════════════════╦════════════════════════════════╦════════════════════╗ ║ RELEASE 2.3B ║ YDPLUS ║ 7/09/94 ║ ║ ║ (C)1993 CorVet Systems, Inc. ║ ║ ║ ║ Silver Spring, Md. USA ║ ║ ╚════════════════════╩════════════════════════════════╩════════════════════╝ Ydplus is a mailing management program, of which YDPOP is a part, allowing the user to classify the contacts (records) into an unlimited range of classifications. Each record may be part of up to 10 seperate classifications. As an example; the contact might be 1).a personal friend, 2).on your christmas card list, and 3).a member of your church at the same time. Most programs would require that you enter the information three times and when printing select the list you desire. Problems arise when you have to edit 3 or more records everytime a change occurs. NEW with Version 2.3B is the addition of a phone call log feature which will create a text file of the date, time, and purpose of the call when the autodialer is used with a modem. Added the ability to select the fields exported from the YDPLUS export menu. Corrected the trade code removal feature in YDPLUS. Corrected the autodialer to reset when busy signal received. YDPOP as used in the building and contracting industry designates that the classes are used to describe the type of work the contractor is capable of performing. An example of a multi-talented firm might be; a minority drywall contractor who also does plaster and trim carpentry. YDPLUS uses 1 record and 4 of 10 available fields to discribe this firm. A great tool for the minority participation requirements of government projects. YDPLUS contains many reports and mail management features, including multi- record laser jet labels, phone books. You may control what records are printed by setting limits. The calendar routine furnished with YDPOP is built into the YDPLUS print menu. YDPLUS registration includes a 70 page manual describing each feature of the program in detail. ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ORDERING YDPLUS REGISTERED VERSION: │ │ │ │You may order YDPLUS with access to 100,000 records and multiple │ │directories by sending $60.00 or $5.00 for Demo in USA funds to: │ │ │ │ CorVet Systems, Inc. │ │ 1714 Featherwood Street │ │ Silver Spring, Md. 20904-6659 │ │ │ │Please include $3.00 per copy for shipping and handling. │ │ │ │The cost of the demo ($5) and cost of registering YDPOP ($20) may be │ │deducted from the cost of YDPLUS full registration. │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ THANK YOU: Thanks for looking at YDPOP, We are listening to our users and many of their ideas are incorporated herein. If you have an idea to improve our product please let us know. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ New Feature: March 1994│ │ │ │ Local Phone # Indication │ │ │ │(C)1993 Corvet Systems, Inc. 1714 Featherwood Street, Silver Spring, Md. │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ This feature works both with the YDPLUS and YDPOP programs, when a local phone # is detected, the message "Local" will be displayed to the right of the local area phone number. This will eliminate the need to tell the program how many digits to dial. Should you ever need to travel or move to another area of the country, all you would need to do is substitute another local area code file. All phone numbers should be entered in the following format; XXX-XXX-XXXX. The program will then use the local exchange file you create to determine the number of digits to dial. As the first step make sure you have your correct local area coded entered in either the /, Utility, Radd section of YDPOP or the File Default section of YDPLUS. To use the feature, you must create a file named LOCXHNGE.TXT containing all the local phone exchange numbers (3 digit numbers after the area code). Use the text editor included with DOS5 and later or use your favorite word processor and save the file as an ASCII text file. Refer to your manuals for an explaination on how to do this. This is not as difficult as it sounds. In the front of your white pages phone directory is a listing of your local exchanges. In a major metro area this might be as many as 500, most areas will have considerably fewer. This information is used by the modem to autodial, but is VERY handy even if you don't have a modem connected to your computer. The information can save you money by allowing you to see if toll charges will be added to your phone bill, this may influence your decision to call or not to call. I know when you are using list of phone numbers this can SAVE A LOT OF MONEY. This can also help target your local business market first. You need to create a text(Ascii) file with these numbers and they HAVE to be in the following format: 202A 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 3017 718 731 735 736 738 753 762 763 770 772 773 779 794 805 807 The first 3 characters are the area code. The Fourth character is number of digits to dial; 7 for 7 digits or A for all. Most local exchanges will use seven digits, but the option exists to dial the area code too. In the Washington DC Metro area many of the local numbers require you to dial the area code even though no long distance charges apply. Characters 11-76 contain up to 18 seperate 3 digit local exchange codes , they must be seperated by blanks. You may have as many lines of local exchanges as you need, and the line does not have to be entirely filled. Do not place more than 18 exchange codes on each line of data. The phone numbers in your database all have to be in the following format for this system to work: xxx-xxx-xxxx. If you ever move around the country the only step you will need is to recreate the local exchange file, or as you move around the country you may have more than one exchange file on your computer. The following is an example of the file needed for the Silver Spring, Md. area. You can see we have four area codes in our local exchange. Even though we have four area codes many of the exchanges are local non toll calls. The 202(DC), 410(Md) and 703(Va) codes all require that the 3 digit area code be dialed, thus the fourth character of each of these records is the letter A(all). The local 301(Md) exchanges use 7 digit codes thus the 4th character on each line is the number 7. The exchange numbers do not have to be entered in any order.

Phone numbers with these exchanges will have a LOCAL indicator next to the phone number when a record is displayed on the screen. Again I would like to remind you to make sure the local area code is entered in the field provided in the defaults section of YDPLUS or Radd section of the YDPOP TSR program. ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ YDPOP MANUAL ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ The Yellow Disk Popup program is a terminate and stay resident (TSR) DOS program.

RECORD EXPORTING: Three export options exist: Word Processor, Vertical Spread Sheet, and Horizontal Spread Sheet. To use any of these options, load YDPOP and let YDPOP remain in the background as previously explained. Enter your word processor or spread sheet program as usual. Then YDPOP will insert the address just as if you typed it yourself. The program must be ready to receive a typed address. The word processor option also will type the current date above the address. To quickly enter an address popup using control-Y, find the address and press; /, enter, enter. The address has been added to your letter and you are ready proceed with the body of the letter. When exporting addresses to a spread sheet, first be sure the currently highlighted cell is empty. To export horizontally; popup using control-y, press /, enter, H. The Address will be exported into six horizontal cells. Contact name, business name, city, state, and zip code will be in separate cells. The highlighted cell will be ready for the next export. You may need to adjust the width of individual spreadsheet columns to see the results. A vertical spread sheet export will place the contact name, business name, address, city/state/zip in four cells below one another. ------------------- RECORD SORTING: ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ SORT FILE BY BUSINESS NAME ║ ║ ║ ║ Use Page Up/Down to Select Alternative ║ ║ Sorting Order ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Sorting Will Take Approx 0.1 Minutes ║ ║ Do you want to Proceed (Y/N) Y ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Writing New File: ║ ╚████████████████████████═════════════════════════════╝ FIGURE NO. 36.

Pressing the escape key during any portion of the sort will end the sort and the current order will be retained. If using YDPOP from within YDPLUS, do not use the YDPOP sort function. PHONE DIALING: A Hayes compatible modem must be connected and functioning for this option to work. Select this option from the utility menu or press the Alt-F3 speed key. The program will ask what phone number to use if the record has more than one. The program will use the COM port selected while using the utility menu's Radd(Return ADDress) function. ENVELOPE & LABEL PRINTING: The command /O E (Outp, Envl) allows the printing of an envelope. The command /O L (Outp, Labl) allows printing dot matrix labels. The printer and printer port selected in the return address(Radd) function is used. When a laser jet printer is selected, the United States Postal Service UPS bar code is printed on envelopes. The program will not allow a laser printer to print a single label due to waste of material. SETTING FILE DIRECTORY: The default settings when you activate YDPOP are; the C drive and the YDPLUS subdirectory. You may select the drive and file directory. If your selection is not available, the program will repeat the drive and directory questions. ----------------- FIND RECORD & CONTINUE SEARCH: The Find(F6 speed key) and Next(F7) commands allow the search of the file for desired records. The first step in searching is to select the cell type to be searched by highlighting the cell. Next make sure of the current position in the file, as the search will proceed from the current position to the end. Press /, F (or F6) and enter the search text. If a matching record is found it will be displayed. Press /, N (or F7) to find the next match without entering the search text again. If searching the phone numbers or contact names, all cells of the same type will be searched. GOTO COMMAND: Use the GOTO (F5 speed key) command to jump from record to record without pressing the pageup or pagedown keys. If you know the record number you want enter it and the record will be displayed. Pressing F5, home will move to the first record, and F5, end will move to the last. SETTING RETURN ADDRESS AND HARDWARE DEFAULTS (Radd): Using the /, U, R command you can define the envelope return address and several hardware functions. Six printers are currently available; 1-ttycrlf 2-Epson Fx, 3-391 Okidata, 4-HP Laserjet III, 5-HP Laserjet II, 6-NEC Pinwriter. Printer ports (1-4) and Com Port (1-4) for modem may be set. Setting the PrntRADD variable to Y(es) will print the return address on Envelopes. When a phone number contains the Local Area Code the program will ask if the number is local before dialing the long distance area code. ╔╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════╗╗ ║║ ENVELOPE RETURN ADDRESS ║║ ║║ Name: Acme Printing, Inc. ║║ ║║ Addr: 33201 N.
