PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
-------------------
Address Database is a low-cost software package
for managing names and addresses. It sports a slick Windows
interface that displays a summary of all names in the address
book as well as the detail for each name.
It allows you to enter names, addresses, phone numbers and
unlimited notes about each name in the address database; find
names with the click of one button; categorize the names and
filter your list by categories; maintain a list of names you
generally send holiday cards and gifts to; print mailing
labels by last name or zip code; print a report of notes that
have been stored; print file folders; print phone lists; print
address books on standard, Day-Timer, Day-Runner or any other
sized paper; print Holiday lists; keep a "To Do" list;
import names and addresses from other software packages;
export names and address to other software packages
(for mail-merge, etc.) and merge existing files together
for creating consolidated address books.
Address Database has an intelligent zip code that
automatically fills in the city and state for zip codes that
have been previously entered. It also contains intelligent
phone numbers that convert alphabetics to numerics. Address
Database costs less than half the price of existing personal
information managers and the Windows interface is sharp and
lightning fast. Unlike most name and address managers, Address
Database lists a summary of names and the detail of each
highlighted name, all on the same screen.
System Requirements for Address Database are: an
IBM AT or higher compatible computer running Microsoft Windows
version 3.0 or higher, a monochrome or color EGA, VGA or
better monitor, 1M RAM, Windows Notepad installed.

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-----------------------
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
----------------------
Users of Address Database must accept this disclaimer of
warranty:
"Address Database is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without
limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness
for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for
damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the
use of Address Database."
Address Database is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with
your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part
of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is
to provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products.
If you find this program useful and find that you are using
Address Databaseand continue to use Address Database after a
reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment
of $34.99 + $5 shipping/handling to Pragmatic Software Co. The
$34.99 + $5 shipping/handling registration fee will license one
copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must
treat this software just like a book. An example is that this
software may be used by any number of people and may be freely
moved from one computer location to another, so long as there
is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's
being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two
different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of Address Database must register and pay for
their copies of Address Database within 30 days of first use
or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may
be made by contacting Pragmatic Software Co.
Anyone distributing Address Database for any kind of
remuneration must first contact Pragmatic Software Co. at the
address below for authorization. This authorization will be
automatically granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP)
as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and
such distributors may begin offering Address Database
immediately (However Pragmatic Software Co. must still be
advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the
latest version of Address Database).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Address Database along to
your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register
their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered
users will receive a copy of the latest version of the Address
Database system, a printed User's Guide, a printed Tutorial, and
free phone support for a year.
OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT
-------------------
This program is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve
a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman
can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member,
but does not provide technical support for members' products.

MI 49442-9427 USA, Fax 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
