VERSION 3.3 of NAMEBASE from Michael Paulick
Copyright 1991-96, M.J.Paulick
INTRODUCTION:
Thanks for taking the time to evaluate the NAMEBASE Name/Address
program! NAMEBASE keeps track of names, addresses, phone numbers,
and notes about persons or companies. A unique feature lets you
maintain many separate lists within the same file. Some users even
create lists to keep track of things like credit cards or collections,
although NAMEBASE was really designed as an address book program.
NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS is now available, and you can receive a fully
registered version of this new program for FREE when you register the
DOS version! Just ask for it when you register.
You will NOT have to re-enter your data to use the Windows version.
The registered version of NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS includes a program which
converts your NAMEBASE for DOS data to the new Windows version.
For more information about NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS, see the description
at the end of this file. That description also tells how you can save
an additional dollar off the registration price.
NAMEBASE allows you to quickly locate any name in your
list by simply typing the first few letters of that name.
You can print labels, a pocket-size address book, rotary index cards,
and reports. NAMEBASE fully supports a mouse, and can dial the
phone for you. NAMEBASE creates mail-merge files for use with most
word processors.
REGARDLESS of how you obtained this program, it is provided
to you for a 30-day evaluation period only. If you continue
to use NAMEBASE, you need to license this software directly
with the author by sending $25.00 plus $4.00 shipping and
handling to Michael Paulick. You will receive BOTH the DOS and
Windows versions without the registration reminder, and a printed
manual for the DOS version. The Windows version includes an on-line
Help file with complete documentation.
NAMEBASE is copyrighted, but you may distribute the program freely,
as long as you make it clear that users are expected to pay the
author for the program if they find it useful after a 30-day
evaluation period. You must include all 3 files when you
distribute it: NAME.EXE, NAME.DAT, and README.TXT.
You may NOT alter any of these 3 files in any way, other than to
compress these files, as long as they can be decompressed
to their original state.
Please send $25.00 + 4.00 shipping and handling to:

INSTALLING NAMEBASE:
Simply copy all files from the NAMEBASE diskette to any directory
on your hard disk, or insert the NAMEBASE diskette into your
floppy drive if you don't have a hard disk. Then follow the
instructions under the heading STARTING NAMEBASE. If you need
more instruction than that, read below:
To install NAMEBASE on your hard disk, you should first create a
sub-directory. Refer to your DOS manual, or follow these
directions:
- Make sure you are at the DOS prompt (usually contains a >
symbol).
- Make sure that the default disk is the one you want to copy
NAMEBASE onto. You can change the default disk by simply
typing the name of this disk followed by a colon (:), such as
C:
- Make a new sub-directory on this disk using the DOS Make
Directory command (MD), such as
MD \NAME
This will create a sub-directory called NAME on the default
disk.
- Change to this new directory using the DOS Change Directory
command (CD), such as
CD \NAME
Copy all files from the NAMEBASE floppy disk to your hard disk
using the DOS COPY command, such as
COPY A:*.* C:\NAME
That's all there is to it!
STARTING NAMEBASE, AND USING COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
You start NAMEBASE simply by typing NAME at the DOS prompt. First
make sure you are in the directory where the NAMEBASE files have
been copied to. For example, if you copied the NAMEBASE files to a
directory called NAME on your C drive, and NAME is not the
current directory, you would issue the following DOS commands to start
NAMEBASE:
C:
CD \NAME
NAME
Besides the NAME.EXE file, NAMEBASE needs a database file called
NAME.DAT. NAME.DAT contains your lists of names and addresses,
and the program will create this file if it finds that it does
not exist. You can also have NAMEBASE use any other file name
for your database by specifying that file name after the NAME
command, such as: NAME MYFILE.DAT This allows you to use
more than one database if you want.
Certain monochrome monitors, such as those found on some laptops
and other machines, emulate a color monitor. NAMEBASE automatically
detects the type of monitor you are using and adjusts accordingly,
but has no way of knowing that some machines that say they are color
are not. If you have a monochrome monitor and have difficulty reading
the screens, try starting NAMEBASE with the following command:
NAME/B
