DISCLAIMER
----------
The maker of this product is not responsible for ANY damage that this
program may inflict on one's computer. The program by itself, if not
infected by a virus SHOULD NOT inflict any damage. This program is
distributed as Shareware, therefore you may distribute it freely, but you
MAY NOT dissasemble or change the program in any way. You are NOT required
to register this program, unless this program is being used in a business.
The Program Itself
--- ------- ------
Fone Book is a small program which is simply used for the storing of
information on a person. It is simply a replacement (or addition) to your
old phone book, you know the old one that is falling apart, and would
cost ten to twenty dollars to replace. And then you have to rewrite all
your addresses and information all over again.
Running Phone Book
------- ----- ----
The format for running Fone Book is almost the same. If you do not
specify the directory it is in in the command line, it will prompt you for
it. I added this option to allow users to be able to access their phone book
from any directory. You may type FONEBOOK c:\fonebook\ or FONEBOOK. in the
first case, YOU MUST put the backslash on the end, or it will not work.
In the second case, it will prompt you for the directory name, and you must
put the backslash there too.
Options
-------
V)iew the name by letter
This option is easy to use. All you have to do is select it, and then
type in the first letter of the person's last name. It will then find the
first person in the list with a last name that begins with the specified
letter, and display it for you. It will then ask you if you want to look
for the next person in the list with the same first letter of the last name.
N) View an entry by last name
This option prompts you to type in the person's last name, and it will
look for all the people in the list with the specified last name. It will
also prompt you if you wish to continue looking through the list for the
same last name.
A)dd an entry
This option will prompt you with a series of questions to constitute the
entry. Note: You may type in any thing you wish after each question, but
the program will only display it in a certain form. Note: ALL THE QUESTIONS
are CASE SENSITIVE. If you type in joe shmoe, when you look for the name,
you must type joe shmoe, not Joe Shmoe.
D)elete an entry
This option will prompt you for the person's first and last names, and
it will also prompt you to verify the person you wish to delete. If you
answer so as to not delete that person, it will search the list for the next
person with the same first and last names.
C)onfiguration Menu
Allows you to change options without having to run the configuration
file. Almost completely eliminates the need for the configuration file
after first configuring, but the configuration file is needed in the future
if your datafile becomes corrupt.
ERRORS
------
If you encounter an error during the execution of either FONEBOOK.EXE
or FBCONFIG.EXE, please send a message with the error line number, error
number, your name, phone number, and address to the address in the
registration section. Those who find errors that are not fixed by running
FBCONFIG.EXE and either deleting the datafile or not will be rewarded with
the latest registered copy of the program.
THE SETUP PROGRAM
--- ----- -------
FBCONFIG.EXE must be run if either FONEBOOK.DAT or FONEBOOK.CFG do not
exist. If you do not run it, FONEBOOK will return an error. FBCONFIG.EXE
will take you through the necessary steps in order to run FONEBOOK. Please
read each question carefully and answer with caution.
SOURCE CODE AVAILABILITY
------ ---- ------------
Normally the source code is not available to anyone, except for the few
people that might help in debugging the program. But under special
circumstances, and with a generous donation, the source code may be made
available.
REGISTRATION
------------
Registering this program is not required, but if you do not register, you
have a 50 entry limit. If you register, you will recieve a copy of the
latest version, including a 999 entry limit, and the ability to have more than
one phone book. If this program is used in any business, in any manner, this
program MUST be registered for $25. If you wish to register, please send your
name, phone number, address, and $15 ($25 for Businesses) to:
