introducing the latest version of
ThingsToDo
Shareware from
The Manager, Inc.
Copyright, 1992
*********************************************************************************
WARNING!! As noted below, you cannot run ThingsToDo without the
file "VBRUN200.DLL" which you must download separately. It
should be available in the library where you found "TTDW14.EXE".
*********************************************************************************
NEW FEATURES IN VERSION 1.4
Based on the suggestions of registered users, the following
enhancements have been included in Version 1.4 of ThingsToDo:
1. More Customization: Version 1.4 will allow you to
lock in your preferences for:
a. The View which will be displayed when you
first start up ThingsToDo;
b. The type face and type size which will be used
for the following elements of a printed View: the
ThingsToDo title, the View title, column headings, the
item, and notes;
c. The ability to select, on a view-by-view basis,
the order in which items will appear on the screen and
on the printouts;
d. The ability to detect and use the format for the entry
and display of dates which you selected in the Windows
Control Panel so that you can use "day/month/year"
format, if desired;
2. The ability to delete an item, without marking it as
completed. This allows you to get rid of some items while
keeping an accessible archive of others.
3. The ability, at the time of printing, to suppress all notes;
4. The ability to indent lines in your notes;
5. The removal of the 2,000 item limit;
6. The ability to bring up the DatePicker by double-
clicking on the date field when entering or editing an item;
7. The ability to more quickly enter items of the same
type by offering the type of the most recently entered item as
the default type for the item you are about to enter;
8. The ability to access all views by using Hot Keys;
9. The addition of three more customizable task types; and
11. The ability to print a particular item and its
associated note from the item data entry window.
INSTALLATION
Once you have downloaded TTDW14.EXE and completed the self-extraction,
it is very easy to get ThingsToDo up and running. Just follow
these steps:
1. Use File Manager to find the "Setup.Exe" file which was created
when you triggered the self-extraction. Double-click on the
filename and it will create a "\Windows\Things" subdirectory
and copy to it all of the needed ThingsToDo files except
"VBRUN200.DLL". (You may, of course, start the Setup routine
by using the Program Manager's Run option. Remember to
include the path of the directory where the extracted files
were placed.)
*********************************************************************************
2. IMPORTANT: You must also place in this directory the file
"VBRUN200.DLL" which must be downloaded separately
from the on-line library.
*********************************************************************************
3. You may then start ThingsToDo in any of the customary
ways:
double-click the "Things.Exe" filename on the File Manager,
place the command "C:\Windows\Things\Things.exe" on the
"Load" or "Run" lines of your WIN.INI file,
use the "FILE/RUN" option of Program Manager, or
find the new icon on your desktop and double-click it.
4. For further instructions, print out and review the
"Things.Wri" file using Write.
REGISTRATION
ThingsToDo is a "shareware program" and is provided to you for
evaluation at no charge. Feel free to share it with your friends,
but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system.
The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal
computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet
to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new
products. If you find this program useful and find that you are
using ThingsToDo and continue to use ThingsToDo after a reasonable
trial period, you must make a registration payment of $35.00 to
The Manager, Inc. You are encouraged to pass a copy of ThingsToDo
along to your friends for evaluation.
The full terms under which ThingsToDo is offered and a description
of our support policies are contained in the manual.
When you register, I will send you a printed, illustrated, indexed
manual as well as a copy of ThingsToDo which does not display
the annoying registration notice at startup. I will also answer
your questions, keep you informed about updates, and take your
comments into account as we plan new updates. I welcome
your comments, questions and suggestions.
You may register by printing out the INVOICE.DOC file included
with ThingsToDo, filling in the form and mailing it with your
check or money order to me ( David Merk) at
The Manager, Inc.
P.O. Box 1822
Waterville, ME 04903
