Welcome to Organize!. The most innovative, easiest to use and most cost
effective PIM (Personal Information Manager) for Microsoft(R) Windows(TM).
BEFORE YOU GO ON
----------------
You can get the latest version from Compuserve Windows Forum or send me a
cheque equivalent to US$7 and your contact address, so that I can mail you
the latest version as soon as possible. Please specify 3.5 inch or 5.25 inch
format.
You should explore the Word in Context/Keyword system of data management.
Under the Page menu, use the Page Keywords to look at the example keywords.
Read the Write document manual.wri if you have problems. It is only 8 short
pages.
Converting from earlier versions to 1.3 and beyond
--------------------------------------------------
To use the advanced features of generating a report for printing, photocopying
of notes based on keywords, you have to end each note with a End Note Marker.
This is done by pressing F2 on activating End Note under the Edit menu. This
operation draws a line to mark the end of the note. Otherwise Organize! do
not know where a note ends.
You should read file whatsnew.txt to find out the new features in version 1.4
The new features are also described in the Windows Write file addendum.wri
WHAT IS ORGANIZE!
-----------------
Organize! looks and feels exactly like a diary, making it one of the easiest
to use software ever. No matter how disorganized you are, Organize! can
organize it all for you and without sticking to a system that all PIMs
impose on their customers and there is no need to plough through thick
manuals. Because of its innovative design, you add functions as you need
them. There are no unnecessary functions to clutter your way, steepening
the learning curve unnecessarily.
Organize! can flip pages like the real thing with binders that click open
to insert pages. But most important, it uses a Word in Context system to
manage random and structured personal information that you enter into the
diary. With this system you will never loose your way again in a software.
IMPORTANT NOTE
--------------
This document supercedes all documentation of earlier versions of Organize!.
Those who have registered with earlier versions can automatically use the
earlier keycode and registration number to register. Upgrade from earlier
versions is free at the moment.
THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT (USER SUPPORTED SOFTWARE)
----------------------------------------------
You are encouraged to copy and share the program freely with others.
You have the luxury of trying out the complete program, at your own pace
in the luxury of your own home or workplace. If, after trying out the
programs, you decide to continue to use them, you can purchase the programs
from the program's author, a process known as registration.
When you share this software with others, please include all the files as
shown in the packing list. Compress it in library format if you are
uploading onto any BBS.
REGISTRATION
------------
If you find this program useful you should register to get a personal
version. Registration fee is only US$35. Please look at order.txt for
details.
Why you should register
-----------------------
1. You get your personal Organize! with changeble passwords or if you prefer
remove the password. However your data would still be encrypted based on
the keycode provided upon registration. This would keep your information
confidential. With encryption, another copy of Organize! with a different
password cannot read your files and yours cannot read others likewise. However
registered users can share information from ver 1.4 onwards with the photocopy
and insert operations.
2. Inexpensive upgrade offers. (Free upgrades at the moment)
3. Be informed of updates.
4. The opportunity to shape the future of this product.
5. Free and unlimited technical support on Compuserve, letter or fax.
6. A sense of pride in having honestly participated in the Shareware
revolution.
Future Versions
---------------
I have received many wonderful suggestions. To keep you folks from waiting too
long, I will release each version with additional features as fast as I can
build them.
Version 2 is also in the works and would include enhanced features like support
for DDE, book marking, more complete data manipulation and velcro software using
DLLs etc. This would be a major release
