CardBook v1.0 Readme File
-------------------------
Introduction: What is CardBook?
-------------------------------
CardBook was created out of a need --- "I have some good
information in my cardfile. How do I get a nice printout
that I can carry in my wallet?"
Microsoft Windows includes an applet called Cardfile which
lets users create some kind of an electronic Rolodex file
where the user can store various kinds of information like
telephone numbers, addresses, recipes, etc. However,
printing from this program leaves much to be desired.
CardBook is a Windows program that will open your cardfile
data and print a small book as wide as a folded dollar bill
but slightly taller. This ensures that this book will fit in
your wallet, as a personal phone book for example.
The pages of the book are printed on all sides and can
easily be stapled at the center. Page numbers are printed
and records are separated by blank lines.
CardBook comes complete with a Help file. Context-sensitive
help is available just by highlighting an item and pressing
F1. Of course, because of the simplicity of the program,
help may never be needed.
This shareware version of CardBook is in no way crippled or
made dysfunctional. The only difference between the
unregistered and the registered versions is the
"Unregistered Version Reminder" that appears any time an
unregistered version tries to do a printing routine.
Disclaimer
----------
As any software user should know by now, computer programs
are very complicated products and no guarantees are ever
stipulated implicitly or explicitly.
The way these programs work is the result of complex
interactions between different kinds of hardware and
software. Nobody can predict with a 100% accuracy how a
certain program will behave at any given time on any given
hardware configuration.
With this in mind, Press F1 for Help!, Inc. is not
guaranteeing anything. However, we do state that utmost care
has been done to deliver this product with the highest
quality we are capable of giving.
Needless to say, the responsibility of backing up your
computer files and in general of taking care of your
computer system ultimately resides with you as the user.
Thank you very much for using this product. We hope you find
it useful and enjoyable.
Shareware
---------
This software is being distributed as shareware with a
suggested registration amount of $9.00. However, you may
send in any amount you feel is a fair value for the
software. Registration is important so you can be in our
mailing list.
Like other shareware programs in circulation, continued
development depends on support from satisfied users. Please
write to us about any bugs, enhancements, or any other
comments.
If you have any problems in using this program, write your
explanation to the address below. And if your card file is
not that confidential, you can also send us a copy. Please
send a self-addressed and stamped envelope if you expect a
reply.
Installation using the Setup program
------------------------------------
If you got this program in compressed form, first uncompress
all the files into a floppy disk or a temporary directory on
your hard drive.
Go to Windows and click on File - Run. Then type a:\setup in
the command line box and click on OK. Follow instructions.
If you created a directory on your hard drive, replace
a:\setup with the complete path, for example, c:\temp\setup.
Manual installation
-------------------
CardBook only uses a few files:
CARDBOOK.EXE - the program itself. Copy to any directory.
CARDBOOK.HLP - the help file. Copy together with the main
program (CARDBOOK.EXE).
VBRUN300.DLL - Visual Basic v3.0 file needed by CardBook.
Copy to the Windows System directory.
CMDIALOG.VBX - Visual Basic file used by CardBook. Copy
together with VBRUN300.DLL.
Note: If you already have any of the files above, you do not
have to copy them again.
Also: If you manually copied the program files, you have to
create the icons into your Program Manager so CardBook can
just be a double-click away!
Registration:
-------------
Click on Help - Print Registration Form and fill out the
Registered User box and the Licensed to box (name and
address). The Registered User is the way you want your name
to appear exactly. The License information is your name and

envelope to:
Press F1 for Help!, Inc.
Zeckendorf Towers

We will return your registration form with your Serial

Version Reminder" message that appears every time you print.
