I. INTRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION
A. ABOUT THE SERIALIZER
What is THE SERIALIZER?
This copy of THE SERIALIZER is a Demo. After you have used it
for 15 days and find it useful, you will have to register
your copy or delete it from your drive. This copy is
distributed as a Shareware version.
THE SERIALIZER is a program that allows you to enter a serial
number on you software and then read it back and keep a customer
database of those who purchase your software and the
associated serial number that you assign.
You can print out hard copies of the database or a mailing list.
Future copies will allow for dial out features so that you can call
the customer to whom you looking at from the database.
B. INSTALLATIONS
On the disk you received or the file downloaded should be
the following files:
SERIAL12.EXE Self Extracting File
INSTALL .BAT Batch file to Extract SERIAL12.EXE
The SERIAL12.EXE self extracting file contains the following
files:
SERIAL .EXE Main Program
SERIAL .DBF Customer Database File
SERIAL12.DOC Documentation File
README .1ST Registration and notes about future
features for THE SERIALIZER
The program will create the following files once it is loaded:
SERIALNO.NTX Index file on the Serial No.
PROGRAMS.NTX Index file on the Program Name
NAMES .NTX Index file on the Customer's Name
COMPANY .NTX Index file on the Company's Name

assigned
To install from a diskette, insert the floppy diskette into the
drive that you are using to install THE SERIALIZER for the first
time, this will either be Drive A: or Drive B:.
For example, to install from Drive A:, at the prompt type:
A:\>INSTALL C: <Enter>
THE SERIALIZER v1.20 Page 2
The install program will do the rest, all that will be necessary
for you to do is specify which Drive to install it to.
A batch file will be created on your root directory called
SERIAL.BAT. At the prompt just type SERIAL and THE SERIALIZER will
load up.
You could also put this batch file in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and
have THE SERIALIZER load up automatically for you.

III. MENU OPTIONS
A. PLACE A SERIAL NUMBER ON A FILE - TAG MENU
This option will take you to the TAG MENU. From here you will then
select the option that you are asking help for. Pressing the <Esc>
key will exit you back to the previous menu.
There are two types of files that can have serial numbers tagged
to them, they are Executable files and Command files. These will have
extensions .EXE for executable files and .COM for command files.
One option will let you tag a .EXE file with a serial number, the
other option will let you tag a .COM file. Depending on which type
of file you want to tag will depend on which option you choose.
If you want to tag a .EXE file select the appropriate option. Once
selected, just type in the filename without the extension.
For example, you want to tag a file called MYFILE.EXE, you would
enter only MYFILE and hit the <Enter> key. The program already
knows that the extension will be '.EXE' and will look for the program,
if it doesn't find it, it will tell you that that file doesn't exist
and ask if you want to try again. If you do then you will be taken
back to the prompt that asked for a filename. If you don't want to
try again, you will be taken back to the TAG MENU.
The other option will let you tag a .COM file with a serial number.
If you want to tag a .COM file select the appropriate option. Once
selected, just type in the filename without the extension.
For example, you want to tag a file called MYFILE.COM, you would
enter only MYFILE and hit the <Enter> key. The program already
knows that the extension will be '.COM' and will look for the program,
if it doesn't find it, it will tell you that that file doesn't exist
and ask if you want to try again. If you do then you will be taken
back to the prompt that asked for a filename. If you don't want to
try again, you will be taken back to the TAG MENU.
THE SERIALIZER v1.20 Page 5
B. READ SERIAL NUMBER FOR A FILE - READ MENU
This again will take you to another menu called READ MENU. From here
will be able to select the help that you are asking for. Pressing
the <Esc> key will exit you back to the previous menu.
This is similar to the tag option except that once you enter in the
file (no extension), it will display the serial number that was
tagged to that file. If no serial number exist, then no serial
number will be shown. If there is a serial number associated with
that file, then it will be shown along with the name of the file.
C. UTILITIES MENU
This will take you to the Utilities Menu, from here you will be able
get help on the utilities that are provided with the application.
There will be more on this subject later on under UTILITIES, your
options will be:
1. Copying files
2. Directories
3. Format Floppies
4. DOS Commands
5. Customer Database Menu Options
D. CUSTOMER DATABASE OPTIONS
This will take you to the Customer Database. From here you will be
able to get help on Entering and Editing information in the database.
There will be more on this subject later on CUSTOMER DATABASE, your
options will be:
1. Entering New Data
2. Editing Existing Data
3. Print Options
4. Utilities Menu Options
E. QUITTING
You can escape or exit either from the database or from the menus.
From the database you can escape from the editing or entering of
data by pressing the <Esc> key. From the menus it will take you
to the previous menu, depending on which menu you came from.
From the utilities provided, a blank command line will exit you
from those features.
From the Main Menu, pressing the <Esc> key will display the Register
Message. You can press any key or the <Esc> key to exit to the
'Exit Message' or you can wait for 15 seconds and the program will
exit for you. However, at the Exit Message you will have to hit the
<Esc> key to get to DOS. Any other key will take you back to the Main
Menu. This is a feature that will stop exiting in case exiting wasn't
what you had in mind. This is a built in safety feature.
THE SERIALIZER v1.20 Page 6
IV. UTILITIES
A. COPYING FILES
You can copy files from within the application with this option. If
selected, it will take you to the Copy Files screen. From here you
copy files any where you like. There are two command lines that will
allow you to:
(1) Enter the <filename.ext> to copy from and
(2) Enter the <filename.ext> to copy to
All DOS Commands will work just as if you were at the DOS Prompt.
Wildcards '*' and '?' are supported with this command. For example:
Suppose you want to copy C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM to drive A:, but you want
the filename to be CMD.COM on drive A:, you would at the first command
line enter -> C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM or C:\DOS\COMM*.COM
at the second command line you would enter -> C:\DOS\CMD.COM
B. DIRECTORIES
This is where you can view a directory of your choosing. Once you
select this option, you will be taken to the VIEW DIRECTORIES screen.
At that time you can press 'Q' to quit if this wasn't what you wanted
to do, any other key will take you to the command line where you can
then enter the <drive>\<directory> to view. This will be just like
you were at the DOS Prompt, except that the command 'DIR' is already
programmed in the application, so all you need to do is type in the
<drive>\<directory> that you want. All wildcards that you can use at
the DOS prompt, you can use here. For example, say you want to see
the directory for all files that start with 'PE' and have the first
letter of the extension 'R' and they all are in the \DOS directory.
You are in the \SERIAL directory, your entry would be:
Command Line -> C:\DOS\PE*.R*
The /p page switch and the /w wide screen switch are supported with
feature. To exit leave the command line blank.
C. FORMATTING FLOPPY DISKETTES
You can format a floppy diskette for either drive A: or drive B:
depending on your computer's configuration. However, since this
can be a touchy command, meaning that you may format a diskette
that contained some information on it that you didn't want erased,
i have programmed in a password for this feature. I sure wouldn't
want someone to format floppies without my knowledge and a password
can prevent that from happening. For the Demo version the password
programmed to accept only one password and that password is on the
screen for anyone to see. The password is 'DEMO'. Registered users
will receive the option of assigning their own password to use.
THE SERIALIZER v1.20 Page 7
Once you have entered in the password, you will have the option of
formatting either Drive A: or Drive B: by entering 'A' for drive A:
or 'B' for drive B: this will start the DOS format command to
activate the formatting procedures, you will still be able to back
out at that time since DOS will ask you to enter the diskette to be
formatted and you can not put in a diskette, in which case DOS will
format the diskette, tell you the drive isn't ready and ask if you
want to format another (Y/N)? By typing 'N' will take you to the
FORMAT FLOPPIES screen. Leave the password command line blank to
exit.
D. DOS COMMANDS
Here is another command that will allow you to enter DOS COMMANDS
from within the application and are not programmed for, such as
EDLIN, TYPE, or a TRS that you want to load up.
I like this option because I don't like to exit the program I'm in
just to do something that will take a few seconds, so I added it in
just in case you felt the same way.
V. CUSTOMER DATABASE
A. ENTERING NEW DATA
When you select this option from the Customer Database Menu, you
will be asked for a Serial Number. This Serial Number can be any
AlphaNumeric Characters up to 15 characters long. It asks for this
Serial Number to check to see if this Serial Number already exists.
If it doesn't exist, then you will be allowed to enter the
information for that programs serial number. You'll be able to
enter the program name, serial number, customers name, company name
address and telephone number. Once you are through entering the
information for that record, you will asked if its OK? If it is
then you will prompted to see if you want to enter another record.
If not you will quit to the Customer Database Menu.
If you do, then you will be prompted for another serial number.
The serial number you entered in previously will be there so you can
add one character to it or do whatever you have decided is going to
be your numbering system.
B. EDITING EXISTING DATA
When this option is selected, you will be prompted for a serial
number. This is because it searches for that serial number and not
the program name, since that would defeat the purpose of keeping a
database. If it finds the serial number it displays that records
information for editing. Once you are done you will have the option
to edit another or quit. If you want to continue with another
record then once again, it will prompt you for another serial number
to search for. If not, then you will be taken back to the Customer
Database Menu. If while editing the record, you wish to delete a
record, by pressing the F2 function key will mark that record for
deletion, you will see, at the top of the screen *DEL* for marked for
THE SERIALIZER v1.20 Page 8
deletion. The F2 key will toggle this on or off, so if you use the F2
key to mark a record and change your mind, then by pressing the F2 key
again will un-mark record. The F3 function key will delete all records
that were marked for deletion.
VI. PRINTING OPTIONS
A. PRINTING BY SERIAL NUMBER
You can print the database, sorted by the serial numbers, in one of
three ways. To the screen, printer or disk. You will be taken to a
sub-menu which will allow you to direct the printing to either the
screen, printer or disk. If you choose the screen option, only one
record at a time will be displayed. If you hit any key you will
advance one record at a time until you until you reach the end of the
database. You will have at any time, while the records are showing
to the screen, to quit by pressing the 'Q' key to quit the display
and you be returned to the sub-menu. You can then chose to print the
database to a printer or disk. If you chose to print to a disk, the
application will write a text file called 'SERIALNO.TXT'
B. PRINTING BY PROGRAM NAME
You can print the database, sorted by the program name, in one of
three ways. To the screen, printer or disk. You will be taken to a
sub-menu which will allow you to direct the printing to either the
screen, printer or disk. If you choose the screen option, only one
record at a time will be displayed. If you hit any key you will
advance one record at a time until you until you reach the end of the
database. You will have at any time, while the records are showing
to the screen, to quit by pressing the 'Q' key to quit the display
and you be returned to the sub-menu. You can then chose to print the
database to a printer or disk. If you chose to print to a disk, the
application will write a text file called 'PROGRAMS.TXT'
C. PRINTING THE MAILING LIST
You can print a mailing list consisting of the customers name,
company name, address. At the top right corner of the label the
serial number for that customer will be printed. If you select this
option you will be taken to a sub-menu where you can print the mailing
list depending on how you want it sorted.
You have the following sort options:
1. Customers Name
2. Company Name
3. Program Name
4. Serial Numbers
THE SERIALIZER v1.20 Page 9
D. PRINTING THE CUSTOMER LIST
You can print a customer list consisting of the program name,
serial number, customers name, company name, address and telephone.
If you select this option you will be taken to a sub-menu where you
can print the customer list depending on how you want it sorted.
You have the following sort options:
1. Customers Name
2. Company Name
VII. FUNCTION KEYS DEFINED
A. DEFINITION OF THE FUNCTIONS KEYS
