Introduction
This model came out of the need to organise my books in order to identify and print their title and coordinates without having to rewrite the information again and again. I also wanted to be able to search for particular domains or subject and sort them according to particular criteria. I thus used the great versatility of FMPro to acheive my ends, learning in the bargain how to construct models. I believe that other students, researchers or professonnals could benefit from that model without having to pay much for specialised software.
I’m fully aware that there exist already other models of the kind. But those I have seen have one or all of the three following flaws: 1) lettering is too small (even in the free FMP models provided by Claris), 2) the interface looks rather dull due mainly to a lack of different colour, 3) you have to navigate through many panels to get various kind of informations. I thus tried to improve on those aspects. I hope I succeded and that your feedback will help me to improve it even more.
Shareware notice
As you might have seen, there is no password for that model. I trust your sense of responsibility for the work which has been put into that project.
If you find it usefull and use it for your work, in a business or in some other kind of organisation, send, with the registration letter, 10$US or the equivalent in your national currency.
If you are a student and feel that you really cannot afford 10$US, and want to use it in your future researches, send 5$US.
If your financial situation is such that you think you really (simply be honest with yourself) cannot even afford 5$US and want to use it for your research, I wish you good luck in your research and good success in your work endeavours.
Mode of paiement:
The simplest way is to send me cash (well wrapped to avoid inquiring eyes) in an enveloppe at the following address:
Alain Antinori
138 Argyle
Kirkland, Québec
Canada H9H 3J1
Payment by checks for canadians only. It will be too expensive to exchange foreign checks. Again, sending cash is really the simplest way.
Internationl money orders.
General Help
I assume you are familiar with FMPro. Let me just mention the diference between sorting and searching. Sorting will sort all the cards currently available. If you launch a search, you can sort only the set of cards resulting from the search. Consult your manual or the online help for more detailed info.
Comments & suggestions
Send me your comments and suggestions so that I can improve the model. If you decide to change it yourself, make sure you work out of a copy, especially if you are new to FMPro.
If you want to translate it in a language other than French or Fnglish, I would appreciate that you inform me so that we can work out an agreement.
