.h ╘═══════════╛
FONEFILE is a complete NAME and ADDRESS data base program. With it's
optional TRS (Terminate and Stay Resident) mode, FONEFILE can be installed
into your computers memory always available in the background for you to
simply call it to life with a quick keystroke. When you want to look up a
name, address, or telephone number, just press the "Hot-key" and FONEFILE
'Pops-Up' over whatever program you happen to be in.
.r To start the program, first put FONEFILE.EXE into any convenient directory
.r then type FONEFILE. You will first see a small start up screen informing
.r you that the program has been loaded, and where to send for a registration.
.r Once FONEFILE is installed, press the <ALT> key and the Letter "T" at the
.r same time. (See the optional parameters to run without the TSR feature)
When FONEFILE is 'Popped-Up', you can scan the list of names using the up
and down arrow keys, the PageUp and PageDown, and/or the HOME and END
keys. Also, you can quickly move to any starting point in the list by
pressing the first letter of the name you wish. To add a new name to the
list, just press the <INSert> key. When you are adding a new name, a
second box pops up allowing you to enter complete details for this person
including 2 lines of free-from comments. The data entry functions work
just like a professional word processor, with true Insert/Overstrike mode,
easy navigation using the cursor control (arrow) keys, home, end, and
delete keys. You have the option to set 'default' values for commonly
entered fields, like State names and Zip codes.
Easily remove names from the data base using the DELETE key, with optional
confirmation. FONEFILE uses an advanced filing system that not only
keeps the list in sorted order automatically, but allows instant searches
by NAME, not number, and the files NEVER need to be re-indexed like so
many other programs.
.h Pre-Formatted print controls provided for 1-up or 2-up labels, Rolodex
.h cards, or plain paper reports. Use either a laser or dot-matrix printer.
.r - Simple Installation. Just the program to ANY directory on a hard disk
.r - Maintains an unlimited number of Address Files up to 800 names each.
.r - Optional TSR mode uses only 4.9k of conventional RAM.
.r - TSR option can be completely removed from memory.
.r - Optional MONO display mode for laptop computer users.
.r - COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL. This is NOT a Demo version.

.h║ Parameters & Network Usage ║
.h╙────────────────────────────────╜
FONEFILE is fully compatible with NOVELL NETWARE versions 2.x and 3.x. The
following parameters may be passed to the program when FIRST started. The
syntax is: FONEFILE {parameters} Each Parameter MUST begin with a '/'
but spaces are optional. Also, parameters are NOT case sensitive,
therefore any combination of Upper and/or lower case letters is acceptable.
.i Parameters:
──────────
/NOTSR Starts FONLIST without the TSR option.
* /USERID= 1 to 3 ALPHANUMERIC characters that define a user specific
data file. This string will be used as the file name
extension. ie: USERID=JJB will cause FONEFILE to create and
use data files named: FONEKEYS.JJB and FONEDATA.JJB
Use this option to create multiple data files.
* /HOME= A DRIVE and/or directory instructing FONEFILE where to locate
it's data files. This is a handy option for networks that
contain specific directories for each user.
/MONO Forces the program to run in Black and White mode.
/NOSORT Disables the automatic sorting of names entered. If you
select the no sort option, names are stored in the order in
which they are entered.
* These options can also be set as DOS ENVIROMENT variables for easier use.
Simply place USERID=xxx and/or HOME=d:{\path_name} in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file. See your DOS manual for further explanation.

.h║ Registration and Other Stuff. ║
.h╙───────────────────────────────╜
FONEFILE is NOT Free, nor is it in the Public Domain. FONEFILE is being
marketed through the Shareware concept. Simply put, you are granted a
limited license to use FONEFILE free of charge for PERSONAL USE. You
can not sell FONEFILE, either by itself, or in conjunction with any other
program. If the 'Shareware Advertising' messages that are displayed when
FONEFILE is started and ended don't bother you, then you do not need to
buy a licensed copy. However, for the *very* reasonable price of $14.95,
Business Enhancement Partnership Group will send you a registered copy
without the 'advertisements' and the most current version. All registered
users will also receive a disk of other useful programs developed by
Business Enhancement Partnership Group (some shareware, some freely
distributed) as well as keep you informed of updates and other new programs
as they become available.
Please feel free to pass this shareware version around to any friends
who may also benefit from it.
.r FONEFILE is provided complete, and is is fully functional.
.h If you have an idea for a DOS program or utility, please contact us at
