===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains the NAMEBASE Name/Address/Phone database
program, version 3.3, by Michael J. Paulick. This document contains
only a brief description of the package and its features, along
with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed documentation
is included in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more
easily read after installation.
NAMEBASE is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may
use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see README.TXT for more
details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after
this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see
README.TXT for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others
(disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a
fee for their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment
for continued use of the program.
A new Windows version of NAMEBASE is now available, and will be included
FREE! You just have to ask for it when you register. It will convert
your data from the DOS version, so you won't have to re-enter your data.

===== Installation =====================================
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
NAMEBASE is supplied to you with a NAME.DAT file, which
already contains some names and addresses. To look at this
file, start NAMEBASE with the following command:
NAME
When you want to start entering your own data, delete this sample
file with the following command:
DEL NAME.DAT
Then start NAMEBASE as before, by typing the following command:
NAME
When you don't specify any file name after the NAME command,
NAMEBASE looks for a file called NAME.DAT. If it does not find
this file, it will create a new one for you without any records
in it.
---------- End of Installation Instructions -------------
A Windows version of NAMEBASE is now available, and a fully registered
version of NameBase for Windows will be included FREE when you register,
just for the asking. A description of this new program follows:
