-
- Scraps is a Personal Information Manager (PIM) for your PC.
- You can use Scraps to store all those odd facts and bits of
- information that you come across in your busy life. Scraps
- will then give you rapid access to those facts when they are
- needed.
-
- Think of Scraps as an intelligent assistant who can manage
- all those pieces of paper, or disk files, containing small
- fragments of information which accumulate on any desk (or
- disk). Things such as appointments, addresses or telephone
- numbers, DOS commands, the name of your next door neighbor's
- dog, any piece of information you might want to recall.
-
- Scraps is totally freeform and does not force you to fit your
- information into any artificial categories or formats. Just
- scribble the information down and Scraps will completely
- index it. Ever scrap is effectively cross-referenced with
- every other scrap.
-
- The Scraps will search for and find scraps for you. Special
- indexing schemes mean that indexing and searching all work
- fast. Performance is good even on XT class machines.
-
- The reminder system allows you to tag particular scraps with
- a reminder date so that the system can remind you of them on
- that date.
-
- Features include free text database in which every word is
- 'indexed' for retrieval. Powerful search functions using the
- Boolean operators AND and/or OR. Fast and simple text editor
- with block operations, import/export.
-
- Supports direct transparent import of common word processor
- files including WordPerfect, WordStar, Word and XyWrite.
-
- Common-User-Interface style, Pull-down-menu interface,
- including dialogue boxes. All fully mouse controllable.
- Reminders associated with text entries accurate to the
- minute. Option to automatically search for due reminders at
- program startup.
-
- Integrated in Scraps are a set of general purpose tools. A
- four function calculator with 'tape' display that can be
- annotated and pasted into the editor. A perpetual calendar. A
- telephone dialer which picks telephone numbers directly out
- of text. DOS shell which uses EMS or disk swapping to leave
- only 11.3K in memory.
-
- Scraps has 43/50 line support. Will use as many lines as are
- shown on the screen. Releases time slices under DESQview.
- Option for direct video writes or BIOS video for
- compatibility with windowing systems.
-
- A special file design allows retrieval of data even from
- badly damaged data files using a special FIX utility.
-
- Password security and data encryption protects your
- information from prying eyes.

- set of useful sample data included. 38 page clearly written
- manual.
