-1-
Getting Started:
DO NOT INSTALL THE PROGRAM IF YOU ARE ALREADY USING IT! SEE THE
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UPGRADE THE PROGRAM.
The following files must be on the same drive/subdirectory:
COLOUR.SET
HELP.PLS
HELP.DBT
NEWUSER1.DAT
NEWUSER2.DAT
PCMSTR.EXE
PRINT.SET
UNIEMM.COM
QEMM.SYS And Other Extended Memory Managers:
Occaisionally a problem will be incurred by a person using QEMM.SYS
or other extended memory manager. This has to do with the way that the SYS
file manages memory vs the way that the program wants to use the extended
memory (The program will attempt to use extended memory automatically, if
it is available).
On the distribution disk there is a program called UNIEMM.COM (This can be
renamed to any legal file name EXCEPT the name of the EXE program). If you
attempt to run the program and get a DOS ERROR or RUN ERROR message at the
top of the screen, use the UNIEMM utility to start the program. It
will tell the program you are using an extended memory that has this
anomoly and command the program to remain in low memory instead of
switching to extended memory. After passing these instructions to the
program, the program will start with no other commands needing to be
entered.
Mouse Users:
YOU must activate the mouse prior to the start of the program. Two Button
Users: The Left Button serves as the return/enter key, The Right Button is
the ESC key. Three Button Users: Same as two button Users, and the middle
button is the F1 key.
Type PCMSTR or UNIEMM to start.
When you first start the program, the computer will bring up the Default
Set Up screen first. Just enter the info requested. When you name the
Disk Drive, the program will automatically copy the data files to that
drive for you ! So Have A Disk In The Drive And Ready ! The program will
not do any further copying on its own. In order to create new data disks
see below (Default SetUp).
-2-
Colours:
Color Letter
------------------
Black N
Blue B
Green G
Cyan BG
Red R
Magenta RB
Brown GR
White W
------------------
Data Drive: The drive where you want your data files (A,B,C, etc). Does
not have to be the same as the drive where the program is located.
Date Format:
You have the following choices:
A=American MM/DD/YY {Default}
B=British DD/MM/YY
F=French DD/MM/YY
G=German DD.MM.YY
I=Italian DD-MM-YY
Right Justify:
This refers to right justification of the PostCard text during the WordWrap
process. The program will add additional blank spaces between words to
make the lines come out even on both sides (Like this document). If you
chose to leave it off (N) the lines will not have any blank spaces added.
See the examples for WordWrap below.
You can always go back and change any of these settings by using the Set
Defaults option on the Utilities Menu.
The System:
Is designed using KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) so not much information is
needed to get started. Here are a few notes to help you use the system:
Universals:
The ESC key will take you back one menu (Mouse Users use Right Button).
-3-
The box in the upper right hand corner of the screen will contain
information on how to move around, and data entry tips.
The last line of the screen will tell you what the highlighted option does.
All menu entries can be selected with the light bar, or by pressing the
first letter of the option (Mouse Users when highlited the Left Button will
activate the option).
The F10 key will bring up Help for a particular item, if no Help is
availble for that item, it will allow you to enter the help index. From
the index you may select any of the topics of help available. The Help
file was not written by the same person who wrote this manual, therefore it
might help better explain something to you than this manual does and vice
versa. The file HELP.DOC has all of the Help screens in ASCII format so
you can print or view them outside of the program.
The F1 key will bring up the Quik Info screen. The data for this screen
is entered by YOU. Select the Quik Info SetUp option from the Utilities
menu to enter data.(Mouse Users: Hit the Middle Button).
The Main Menu:
Lets you get into the PostCard or Address systems, obtain print outs and
go to the Utilities. The PostCard and Address systems let you Add, Update
and Delete within the your files.
PostCards:
You can enter the Title of the PostCard, a Salutation (Dear, Attention,
etc) a sign off (Sincerely, Lovingly Yours,etc) and 16 lines of text. Lines
left blank are skipped on print outs.
WordWrap:
This feature is an option during Add and Update operations while working on
PostCards. What it will do is allow you to type in the PostCard without
paying attention to carriage returns, then when you hit the PageUp key it
will re format the text for you (and Right Justify if you have it turned
on. Here is an example:
You Enter:
Just a quick note to let you know that our offices have moved
we are no longer in the burned out warehouse down by the dock
s, but are now located in the shiny new Acme-Wiley Building d
owntown. Our phone numbers remain the same, but our new addr
ess is listed on the reverse side of this card. Keep in touc
h.

WordWrap:
Just a quick note to let you know that our offices have moved
we are no longer in the burned out warehouse down by the
docks, but are now located in the shiny new Acme-Wiley
Building downtown. Our phone numbers remain the same, but
our new address is listed on the reverse side of this card.
Keep in touch.
WordWrap & Right Justify:
Just a quick note to let you know that our offices have moved
we are no longer in the burned out warehouse down by the
docks, but are now located in the shiny new Acme-Wiley
Building downtown. Our phone numbers remain the same, but
our new address is listed on the reverse side of this card.
Keep in touch.
It enables you to type as fast as you want with no cares as to where the
carriage returns should be.
******WARNING******
When WordWrapping a Synopsis that has previously been Wrapped with Right
Justify ON you might have problems. The program does not understand
grammar and might try to wrap things that do not need to be.
Example(From Above)
Just a quick note to let you know that our offices have
movedwe are no longer in the burned out warehouse down
by thedocks, but are now located in the shiny new
Acme-WileyBuilding downtown. Our phone numbers remain the
same, butour new address is listed on the reverse side of
this card.Keep in touch.
If this happens, just use the INS and DEL keys to fix it.
Addresses:
You can enter a Key (This is 3 alphanumeric characters REL for relative,
BUS for Business etc) , a Salutation (John, Bill, Sir, etc), Name (Brandy
Inc, John Smith), a three line address (Use the first line for Company Name
if you need to), 10 digit Zip Code, Telephone Number and Remarks. Lines
left blank are skipped on print outs.
-5-
The Data Entry Screens:
Any of the data entry screens shown in Add, Update, or Delete can be
'zipped' through by hitting the PageDown key. The ESC key will abort the
screen.
Update And Delete:
When you select either of these options the screen will display up to 32
names or PostCard titles. Move the light bar to the one you want to
Update or Delete and press the enter key. The ESC key will take you back
to the Main Menu and the PageDown key will bring up the next 32
names/titles. When the program reaches the bottom of your file it will
start again.
You also have the option of looking for a name or or title (This will
always be the last option displayed, so use the end key to get to the
bottom and return to select).
Close 'Nuf:
In the Update, Delete, and Criteria. When you enter the key, title, name
or ZipCode, etc you do not have to enter the entire thing. For example
when entering a name you wish to deal with you do not have to enter the
full name, only the first few words, or even letters. In Update this will
allow you to view all the records that are Close 'Nuf to what you entered.
EXAMPLE: Entering "John" will bring up "Johnny", "Johnathan" ,"Billy John
Taylor" and "Johnqual"
Lists&Labels:
You have a choice of working with All addresses or selecting a Criteria.
Criteria will let you choose the addresses by Key, ZipCode,Individually or
Comboz. When selecting Individually the screen will display the names in
the file and you just pick the numbers of the ones you want. Selecting the
number a second time will deselect the address. In the lower left corner
of the screen the total number of address you are dealing with will be
displayed. This is helpful in determining how many PostCards, labels, etc
to load in the printer.
KomboZ:
Selecting this entry on the Criteria screen will let you combine up to four
Criteria. For example you want a listing of all Addresses that are Key B
and the name is Shubert. Select the Key entry from the KomboZ screen, then
type in B next select the Name entry, when you do that you will have a
choice of making the statement And or Or. (Chose And in this example) then
you can enter the Shubert. The program will find all records meeting that
Criteria and take you to the Forms menu. (If you had selected Or in the
-6-
above example you would have gotten all records for Key B or anyone named
Shubert. {even those not Key B})
A more complex example would be Key A or Key B and Name S and ZipCode 4.
(You would get all Keys A or B with a name that starts with S and a ZipCode
that begins with 4.)
Print Outs:
The From... & Address Labels:
Are printed for 3" X 15/16" pinfed labels. The program will let you test
printer alignment before printing. You can print from 1 to 99
automatically.
The PostCard & Address Listings:
Will print out on regular paper for storage in a notebook etc.
3X5 and Rolodex Cards:
Will provide you with cards in those formats.
PostCards:
Lets you choose which card to match with the address data you have
requested. After printing the cards you have the choice of turning the
cards around and having the computer address them or exiting. The
PostCards are printed to the standard 4X6 size.
2 Way Cards:
This option is for times when you want to elicit a response from the
person you are sending a card to. You select the card to them first, then
the card you want returned to you. Once printed the cards are torn off in
twos and then folded in half and either stapled or taped. The first card is
addressed to them, the second to you. It is difficult to explain, just try
it.
Kustom List:
Lets you pick out the contents for a print out.
Find!:
You can perform searches on the following items in the address file: Name,
Address, Phone, Remarks or Key. Additionally, you can Find! text from
-7-
within any PostCard. Once the first Found! screen appears: hit the
PageDown to Find! the next record, PageUp to go back and ESC to quit.
Utilities:
Indexing:
You can put the file in Name, Zip Code, Key or Telephone Number order
by selecting the appropriate option.
Build For Speed:
Should be run occasionally to keep the file in sequential order for speed.
Ghost Buster:
This feature should be run if you get blank records in your data file, by
accident.
Default SetUp:
Same as above. If you wish to create a new data disk, just blank out the
Data Drive or insert the letter "Z" and then hit the page down key. You
will then have the opportunity to name a new Data Drive and File Name.
Printer SetUp:
This allows you to customize the printer codes used by the program. These
codes can be found in your printer manual. The codes that the program has
when originally distributed are for the Epson FX100. You will need to know
the code for 10 cpi (Pica), 12 CPI (Elite), Enlarged, Condensed (17CPI) and
Double High/Wide. If your printer cannot handle double high/wide DON'T
PANIC, just leave it blank; the program will use Enlarged for that entry.
You do not have to enter the ESC part of the code, the program will add
that automatically. You can enter the letter ESC code or the number it
does not matter: ie ESC code 119 can be entered as "119" or "w". (Do not
enter any " "s!)
Return Address:
This lets you put in your own address. If you wish to have a different
name, ie Jones Inc, on the return address, just put your own name in
Signature and the company name in the Name Blocks.
QuikInfo SetUp:
This allows you to enter up to 6 lines of information you can have
displayed whenever you hit the F1 key. This is useful for putting your
Keys in for use during Updates & Adds.
-8-
Shell To DOS:
You can exit temporarily to DOS by using that option on the Utilities
Menu. The file COMMAND.COM must be on root directory of the same disk as
the other program files to do this. You must return to the
subdirectory/drive of PostCardMaster prior to entering EXIT to return to
the program.
Upgrading To 3.40:
In order to maintain your old data files from previous versions you MUST
perform the following steps:
1. On your current work drive/directory, rename the file COLOUR.SET to
COLOUR.OLD. ie RENAME COLOUR.SET COLOUR.OLD.
2. Copy ALL the files from version 3.40 to your work drive/directory.
3. Start the program and when the Default SetUp screen appears go to the
block for Data Drive and enter a capital X, then hit the PageDown key.
4. The program will grab your old defaults and use your old data files
automatically.
5. Registered Users have the option of sending their old COLOUR.SET file
to Unicorn Software (along with .75 postage) and having the upgrade
performed for them.
Error Messages:
Error Messages will appear at the top of the screen when an error occurs.
The most common errors are "Open" which means the program can't find the
data files and "Printer not ready". You will be given the choice of
correcting the problem or aborting.
Problems:
If you encounter any problems with the program WRITE! Unicorn believes in
supporting its programs and has been doing so since the first one was
released in 1984.
Technical Assistance & Latest Versions:
Both registered and unregistered Users can obtain technical assistance by
calling (219) 563-HOME (4663). Unregistered Users will need to provide the
name and address of where they obtained the software from in order to gain
this assistance. This will let us go back to that company if they are
distributing an older version and it helps us track who is distributing the
-9-
program. The number is manned (by a human) from 6:00 to 9:00 PM EST, all
other hours by an answering machine.

Other Unicorn Programs:
All programs are MSDOS compatible, run on 256K RAM, use IBM graphics/laser
printers, mono or colour monitor, and can operate on one/two or hard disk
drives (except DayMaster & CompUser which require a hard or high density
drive). The User can set the colours, printer codes, default data drive
and data file name. There are no 'crippled' features or options. The only
difference between the shareware and registered versions is the lack of
'plea' screens on the registered version and the clarity of the Users
conscience. Amount in {} is price for registration.
The *Master Series
CDMaster - To help Users catalog their CDs and assist in printing catalogs,
listings and labels for the case and front of the CD. There are entries
for CD Number, Title, Artist, and up to 24 Tunes as well as Category and 3
User defined fields. The program will hold up to 9999 CDs (depending on
disk space) and can be used to find even a single song. It will also
produce a list of every Tune User have in addition to the regular catalogs
and case inserts. Find! option locates CDs by any of the data fields or by
a User defined mix of data fields. {$25}
AlbumMaster - To help Users catalog their Albums and assist with printing
catalogs, listings and labels for the front of the Album. There are entries
for Album Number, Title, Artist, and up to 12 Tunes on each side as well as
Category and 3 User defined fields. The User can define fields for use as
producer, writer, opinions etc. The program will hold up to 9999 Albums
(depending on disk space) and can be used to find even a single song. It
will also produce a list of every Tune User have in addition to the regular
catalogs. Multiple data field Finds! and User designed listing make this a
must have for audiophiles. {$25}
CassetteMaster - To help User catalog their cassette tapes and print
catalogs, listings and inserts for the case and front of the tape. There
are entries for Tape Number, Title, Artist, and up to 14 Tunes on each side
as well as Category. The User can also define three entries for use as
producer, writer, opinions etc. The program will hold up to 9999
individual Tapes, with two Titles per Tape (depending on disk space) and
can be used to find even a single song. It will also produce a list of
every Tune User have in addition to the regular catalogs. The case inserts
not only print all the tunes, artist, and title but the User defined info
as well. Find! and Criteria print option make this very useful for the
'home recorder' or the 'store bought' cassette tape User. {$25}
VideoMaster - To help User catalog their video tapes and assist User in
printing catalogs, standard and User customized listings and labels for the
spine and front of the tape. There are entries for Tape Number, Title,
Rating, Start Point, Star, Co Star, three User defined entries and a seven
-11-
line Synopsis as well as Category. User can find any tape by any field.
The program can handle up to 5 titles per tape, with the data file only
being limited by disk space. Great for the home video buff. {$25}
PostCardMaster - The program will help User compose post cards and maintain
addresses on disk. Then User may retrieve either listings of the
addresses and cards, address labels, 3X5 cards, 4X6 post cards or Roladex
cards. The primary purpose of the program is to print post cards, and
address them for the User. Post cards cost 1/3 the price of a letter and in
some cases are equally as good ie meeting notices, invitations, change of
address. This program is a update for an earlier Unicorn Software release
called FORWARD2. {$25}
DayMaster - The program provides User with trivia, birthdays,
anniversaries for a particular date, but also allows User to include their
own information for any date. It also gives a quote for the day, and
informs User of any reminders (Weekly/Daily/Monthly/Single/Annual/Range Of
Dates) the User might have. All of this can take place at boot up or any
other time User activate the program. The data file contains over 2000
historical events and quotes. {$25}
The OMNI* Series
OMNIDiZk - A disk cataloger and labeling utility. Features: Reads a
floppy into memory and lets User save the data (The saving is optional);
Print out 4 X 1 7/16 or 3 X 15/16 labels as well as catalogs; Perform Find!
searches on any files that User has saved; Print lists of every file name
in the data file; Allow complete Updates of disks or of just the title
info; Lets User enter a 23 character title, 3 character code and two lines
of remarks up to 52 characters each; Lets User set the data and read
drives. {$25}
OMNIDay - Handles up to 10 Users with PassCode protection for privacy,
optional encryption of data with 10,000 possibilities per User, automatic
entry of text date line, and a full function text editor with online Help.
The data file is dynamic (only as large as entries) and can be located on
any drive. Daily entries can be from 1 to 5000 lines with the ability to
change history (Alter Entry) and the ability to make history vanish (Erase
Entry). The Reminisce feature allows User to 'thumb' through entries.
Prints out the entire opus or selected dates. User names the opus and
enters their name into program for use on screen and in print outs. {$25}
The Comp* Series
CompUser - A rated cyclopedia with the names, addresses and phone numbers
of shareware distributors, hardware companies, authors, computer clubs,
BBSs and more. Almost 2000 entries are in the complete database and it is
updated almost daily with revisions being mailed out every 120 days. The
-12-
program creates, edits & prints post cards, address labels and more. It
will also import new data and allow the User to change the data in the
file. Great for clubs (looking for authors and distributors), shareware
authors (looking for markets), shareware libraries (looking for authors),
BBS Users (looking for new BBSs) and the average Comp{ter}User (looking for
all of the above). All entries are rated A,B,C,D, or F for size of
operation and the way that they conduct business. This alone makes it
worthwhile because Users can avoid poorly rated businesses that have
historical problems and lack good customer service. {$30/Year}
The *4D Series
DiZk4D - The first dizk cataloging system specifically written for 4DOS.
DiZk4D will: Read a floppy into memory and lets User save the data (The
saving is optional). Lets the User enter a 21 character title, 4 digit DiZk
number, 3 character code and two lines of remarks up to 65 characters each.
Change or add file descriptions. Users have the option of using the same
description for all files, or describing them individually using a full
screen editor. Prints out 4 X 1 7/16 or 3 X 15/16 labels of the file names
