PBase Lite
Shareware Version 1.0
R.L.Harris Co. Software
If you are not installing from disk, first create a PBase directory
i.e. "pblite", copy the pb.exe, pbutil.exe and pbinst.bat files into
the directory. From that directory run "pbinst" and it will create
the "sav" subdirectory and unzip the the PBase files. When the
install is done, type "pblite" to start. If you enter the Contact
Manager, hit F1 twice to bring up the online documentation. You
can then print this documentation. See the Order.doc file for ordering
and help information.
Recommended Requirements:
10M Disk Space, 640K Ram
You need to make sure that you have your "files" and "buffers" settings
rather high, files=80, buffers=60.
Limitations:
This is a demo/shareware version of PBase Lite Campaign Software.
Passwords, certain reports and some special function are disabled.
You are also limited to a total of 250 records (one person may have
up to 5 records). For small campaigns this may be enough, larger
campaigns will want to order the full version. See the Order.doc file
for information.
Hints:
If you are unable to add new records, try using the fix utilities
on the database. The fix utilities purge deleted records. Even
though these records are deleted, they will still be counted against
the max number of records allowed until you run the fix program and
purge them.
Only the Walk/Call report will work without you creating a Voter Info
record. The other reports require this to exist for each person to
work properly.
When you use the browse feature of the Search menu, it may only display
some characters of the field--this is because it only display the
indexed portion of the field, which may be fewer characters than its
total length.
The ID field is used to link the Contact database with the other
databases like the Voter Info database. If you are using the
Import/Export/Query utility, and want to import records, you must
be able to generate unique IDs for the records you are importing.
This is the first public release of this software so we encourage
you to email us if you uncover any bugs or have any comments on
what should be added or changed.
