==================================================================
WebMaster 3.0 Auto-Install
------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-English Speakers: In WebMaster, Press F2 to Change Language
==================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------
THANKS FOR TRYING WEBMASTER! -- Read this file for important info.
------------------------------------------------------------------
When you start WebMaster for the first time (by double-clicking
the WMASTER3.EXE icon), the program auto-installs and creates a
WebMaster program group. No other setup is required.
WEBMASTER is your personal & professional World Wide Web Organizer!
I hope you enjoy the test drive! There is no time limit, though
registration messages will appear as a friendly reminder that the
program is Shareware. Please register--Just $10!
You may pass the Shareware Version to your friends, co-workers,
neighbors, and outerspace aliens [Teachers, Developers, Publishers:
See end of this file for Info]. You may NOT share your password,
so please just give them the original, unzipped, unregistered
WMASTER3.ZIP file! My pet woof says "Thanks!" [Bark!]
------------------
WHAT IS WEBMASTER?
------------------
WebMaster is a versatile, Billion-Record Capacity Web Page and
E-mail address book that lets you:
+ Build and maintain multiple lists, compiled lists, keyword lists
(by Category, Name, or even File Type)
+ Export as Web Page, Text, ODBC, or FoxPro-compatible database files
+ Trade addresses between browsers or other applications
+ Print addresses to your printer in clean, attractive format
+ Keep notes on the sites you visit
+ And More--Add WebMaster to your toolbox of useful Internet utilities!
I originally wrote the program to screen my computer's files,
collecting ALL the Web and E-mail addresses that were buried there.
If you're like me, you may save a few Web pages or other files to
your computer while on Internet but rarely have the time or energy
to pore through them for the gold nuggets. It's too much work to
type every single address ever encountered, and much more fun to
"scan" them directly into WebMaster. WebMaster scans all non-
encrypted file and address types currently known (incl. Non-Web
and Virtual Reality Markup Language [VRML] docs)!
----------------------------
WHAT IS WEBMASTER USED FOR ?
----------------------------
Some use WebMaster to scan newsgroups (to build a client or topic
e-mail list), monthly "Hot Pick" lists from the Web or CD-ROM, even
Yahoo search results they don't want filling up their bookmark list.
WebMaster is a good alternative to many browser lists, which often
have length limits or simply do not offer the many features WebMaster
provides. You can also use WebMaster to publish and distribute your
own custom lists to customers, subscribers, or other targets. Or,
you may be curious about what's buried in the hundreds (thousands?)
of files on your computer right now. That's how WebMaster began!
----------------------
*NEW* FEATURES FOR 3.0
----------------------
+ The entire WebMaster installation is 1/3 the size of previous
versions, with a better screen layout and 100x the scan speed.
+ You can select an entire directory of files to scan in one pass.
+ Visual "tabbed index" allows you to quickly page to sections of
your list, by alphabet.
+ Easier to maintain multiple lists.
+ Registered users can now export addresses as a Web Pages--handy
if you collect Web OR E-mail addresses you'd like to see in your
own custom clickable "hot" list. Web Pages (HTMLs) you generate
with WM3 include a clickable index at the top of every page!
+ Multi-lingual interface, plus "Custom" for additional languages.
+ European diacritical characters are auto-translated and displayed.
+ WM3 can export to hotlist/bookmark files for most major browsers.
+ The program has been completely rewritten from scratch; some
detailed improvements are too numerous to mention!
----------------
AUTHOR'S NOTE...
----------------
I have put my heart and hard effort into this program in hopes
that you will enjoy it (and I hope, like it enough to register).
Your comments, feedback, and humor, are welcome and valued!
Thank you to the people who have written words of encouragement
during what has been a difficult time for me, for many reasons.
Your registrations and support have literally kept food on my plate.
To all--Don't be discouraged. Don't give up your dreams...
To see the complete Thank-you List, see Special Thanks in Online Help.
What's next? More high-quality $10 shareware programs, if I can
manage it! Anyone interested in a full 32-bit version of WebMaster?
Unicode support? Any companies out there interested in hiring me
or collaborating?
Feedback? Suggestions? Just want to say hi? Write to:
