PEOPLE + INFO = OPPORTUNITY FOR WINDOWS

OPPORTUNITY FOR WINDOWS RELEASE VERSION 1.0

INTRODUCTION:
Opportunity for Windows is a set of two easy to use yet powerful tools
for managing people and information: People Manager and Info Manager.

PEOPLE MANAGER DESCRIPTION:
People Manager is a powerful, yet easy to use address book manager for
Microsoft Windows. Its easy to use interface offers instant editing,
adding, deleting, and viewing of records from a single window. More than
one window can be opened at a time, and an innovative Special Cut, Copy,
and Paste extends the clipboard metaphor to allow the user to cut, copy,
and paste addresses from one document to another.

Its powerful Find command searches for addresses by your criteria and
inserts your found addresses into an independent document that can be
searched or changed like any other document. You can print both labels
and form letters, from either the current record, selected records
(including discontiguous selections!), or the entire document. A handy
form letter editor is also built into the program. The Import and Export
commands offer easy and flexible methods to import and export your data.

People Manager is perfect for business or home use---whether you're
keeping track of contacts and customers, or friends and family, there's
no better way to keep in touch with the people that are important to
you.

INFO MANAGER DESCRIPTION:
Info Manager is a powerful tool for managing your data. Your data is
organized by category and keyword. Clicking on a category brings up a
list of keywords. Clicking on a keyword brings up a list of associated
items. You can then browse (and edit) the items immediately from within
the same window. To edit or view the data in a pop-up window, simply
click the right mouse button on the data.

Each piece of information is only stored once, but can be accessed from
different "paths" allowing you to create cross-referenced data banks of
information. In the example computer database (included in this
package), you can start your search with one of several different
categories: By Manufacturer, By Price Range, or By Processor. Clicking
on "By Processor" yields a list of keywords---486SX, 486DX, 486DX2, and
Pentium. Clicking on one of the keywords lists computer models built on
the specified processor. Clicking on a specific computer displays
complete information on the computer model. The exact same computer can
be reached through the By Manufacturer or By Price Range categories as
well as a general search of all data. (You can also search data by the
date it was entered---very handy if you remember adding important data a
couple of days ago but just can't remember what it was.

Info Manager is comfortable with all levels of organization. Its search
features make it perfect for random personal information files full of
data from credit cards to phone numbers. Its category/key word approach
makes it perfect for corporate information databases. And of course, any
file can mix the two approaches, with some data floating in the database
unattached to any key word or category, and some data completely
indexed. You choose the level of organization that fits your needs.

Info Manager is difficult to describe in words---but once you start
using it, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it!

ABOUT INSANELY GREAT SOFTWARE:
Insanely Great Software was founded in 1988 by myself (Adam Stein) while
I was a freshman in high school. (I'm currently studying entrepreneurial
management at the Wharton School of Business at the University of
Pennsylvania.) The name comes from Steve Jobs, who often called things
he really liked "insanely great." It's also our motto---and our
standard. We aim to make your experience with us one worthy of our name:
from product quality to technical support.

We also aim to bring you the advantages of a small company without
sacrificing the professionalism of a large corporation. So you'll be
able to talk to me personally whenever you'd like (try talking to the
President or programmer in large companies like Microsoft or Lotus!),
but you'll also be able to order by credit card 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, from our toll-free 800 order lines. (As well as fax, email, and
regular mail!) And we ship within 24 hours, so that you won't have to
wait for your products any longer than necessary! We'll even ship your
order out Airborne Express if you desire. International customers can
get express shipping as well---usually arriving in less than a week
depending on your country---for very inexpensive rates.

If you're not a Macintosh user, you've probably never heard of us before
as Opportunity for Windows is our first product for Microsoft Windows.
To our new Windows users, I'd like to offer a special welcome. We're
very excited to develop for the Windows platform and look forward to
serving you in the future!

REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
Opportunity for Windows is shareware---or try before you buy software---
which means that you can freely distribute Opportunity for Windows, but
that you have to pay the registration free ($19.95 for People Manager or
Info Manager, or $29.95 for both) if you use it.

After 30 days, you must either pay the registration fee, or delete all
copies of Opportunity of Windows from your system.

Shareware is based on trust---authors rely completely on the honesty of
their users. It is up to users like you to keep it alive. I put a lot of
time and energy into Opportunity for Windows to make it the product it
is today. I also spend a lot of time each day helping out users---
registered and non-registered alike---by phone, email, and mail. It's
hard work (especially as a full-time college student!), but the support
from users all over the world (in over 25 countries) has more than made
it worthwhile. I wouldn't give this up for anything in the world---and I
plan to continue full-time after I graduate from college.

Some users do not send in their fees thinking that others will send in
their fees. But in reality, every user is kind of a barometer of
everyone else. If you do not send in your fee, most likely, others will
not send in their fees. If users do not send in their fees, shareware
authors will stop producing quality software. We will all lose in the
end if we do not support shareware.

When I receive your registration for People Manager, Info Manager, or
the Opportunity for Windows Bundle, I'll send you (within 24 hours!) the
most up-to-date (the version you're currently using may be old)
registered version eliminating the opening shareware registration notice
and the "Unregistered" window titles in People Manager and Info Manager.
You'll also be entitled to comprehensive, unlimited FREE support from
the author by mail, email, fax, and phone.

PEOPLE MANAGER DOCUMENTATION:

Adding, Deleting, Editing, and Viewing Data:
The heart of People Manager, is of course, your address data. It
utilizes a single window to handle all of these functions---allowing you
to view both individual records and the entire list of records at the
same time.

Important information on formatting of data:
Text fields can contain any characters that you wish. The number field
expects a decimal number or integer. Characters entered in the number
field are meaningless. The date field should be entered in the format
mm/dd/yy. Acceptable dates include 9/9/93 and 09/09/93. You do not have
to include zeros, but the month, day, and year cannot exceed two digits
each. The order of the month, day, and year are not important. Feel free
to use any format you prefer. For example, dd/mm/yy will work just fine.
I do recommend however that you use a consistent method so that your
date field is meaningful.

To add a record, first check to make sure that you are in "New Record
Mode" by looking at the status bar at the bottom of the People Manager
window. You should see the time, the data, the current mode, and the
amount of memory remaining. The current mode should say "In New Record
Mode." If it says "In Change Record Mode," simply click on the Clear
button to change to New Record Mode. (Clear doesn't actually delete a
record, it just clears all the fields and puts you into New Record Mode.
However, if you've typed a record without adding it and click on the
Clear Button, the information you have typed is deleted.)

Now that the status bar says "In New Record Mode", you can begin. Simply
type all applicable information that you'd like. Then click on the Add
Button. You should now see the name of the person you added in the list
of records to the left of the window. (If you listed a company name
without a first and last name, it will show the company name instead.
And if you did not type in either a company name, first name, or last
name, the record will be added, but will simply show a blank in the list
of records.)

To delete a record, click on the item in the list of records that
you'd like to delete. This action will show the record, thus also
removing any information that you've typed in for a new record (or
changes made to an old record.) If you have added or changed any
information, it will give you the opportunity to save your changes. You
can also delete multiple list records at one time by holding down the
control key to select discontiguous selections, or by dragging the mouse
to select contiguous selections. To actually delete the selected item or
items, click on the Delete Button.

To edit a record, click on the item in the list of records that you'd
like to edit. Clicking on a record to view has the same results as
discussed in the paragraph above. Then, change the information that
you'd like to, and click on the Save Button to save your changes. (The
Save button and the Add Button are in the same place. The button's name
changes to Save when you are in Change Record Mode to reflect the fact
that it is saving changes and not adding a new record.)

To view a record, simply click on the item in the list of records
that you'd like to see. That's all there is to it, although it will put
you in Change Record Mode. (To go back to New Record Mode, simply click
on the Clear Button. It may also (as described above in the delete a
record paragraph) ask you if you want to save your changes to the last
record.

Opening and Saving Files:
Opening and saving files is accomplished in Opportunity in Windows as in
other Windows programs.

To open a file, select Open address book... from the File Menu. Then,
navigate through your directories to find the correct directory and
select the file that you wish to open. Finally, click on the OK button
to open the file. (You might need to change the .wab extension to *.* or
another extension if you saved a People Manager address book file with a
different extension. If you're not sure how to do this, consult your
Windows manuals or computer company for support on how to use the open
file dialog box. And as with all your questions, please feel free to
call us for help whenever you need it.)

To save the currently selected address book, select Save address
book as... from the File Menu. Then, navigate through your directories
to find the directory where you would like to save the file. Finally,
type in a file name and click on the OK button.

Importing and Exporting Files:
Importing and exporting are a bit more complicated than opening and
saving. They allow you to import and export to and from comma-delimited
or tab-delimited text files.

To import a file, select Import... from the File Menu. People Manager
will then display a dialog box where you can enter the specifications
for the file you are importing. If it is a comma-delimited file, click
on the comma-delimited radio button. If it is a tab-delimited file,
click on the tab-delimited radio button.

The next step is to tell People Manager the fields that you'd like to
import, in the order they are in the file you are importing. The list
box on the right side of the dialog box includes the fields that are
available to choose from. The list box on the left side (currently
empty) will include the fields that it actually uses to import the file.
To add a field to the left list box, select a field from the right list
box and click on the Add button. You can also use the mouse to drag
fields from the right list box to the left list box, or to change the
order of fields in the left list box.

If the file you wish to import includes additional information that you
do not want to capture in a People Manager field, you'll need to insert
a place holder. Simply add the Ignore Field (at the bottom of the right
list box---you might have to scroll to find it) to the left list box in
the place that it would be read from the imported file. You can also
delete a field in the left list box by selecting it and clicking on the
Delete button.

When you are finished setting up the fields, click on the Import button.
It will display an open file dialog box from which you can select the
file to be imported. (The default extension is .txt, but any tab-
delimited or comma-delimited text file will work so feel free to change
the extension if necessary.) Once you select the file to import, click
the OK button. People Manager will begin to import the file. Once it is
finished, it will display a new People Manager window with the data it
imported.

To export a file, select Export... from the File Menu. You can then
follow all the steps described in the Importing section of this manual,
except for the obvious difference that you will be exporting to a text
file rather than importing from one. The process, however, is identical.

Printing:
You can print both labels and form letters in People Manager from either
the current record, selected records (both contiguous and
discontiguous), or the entire file.

If you want to print either the current record or the entire file,
simply continue on to either the Print Labels or Print Form Letter
section.

If you'd like to print with several addresses (for either labels or a
form letter) at once, you need to first select them with the mouse. Go
to the list box on the left side of the window, and click and drag the
mouse to select the addresses you are interested in printing. If you'd
like to select discontiguous addresses (i.e. addresses that are not next
to each other in the list box), simply hold down the Control Key when
clicking the mouse. (The easiest way to select discontiguous addresses
is to hold the control key down the whole time you're selecting
records.)

To print labels, select Print labels... from the File Menu. People
Manager will then display a dialog box with three buttons: Current
Record, Selected Records, and All Records. Click on the appropriate
button that represents what you'd like to print.

People Manager then displays the Label Setup dialog box which allows you
to choose and define label sheet formats and the font you'd like for
printing.

To create a new label sheet format, click on the New... button. Then
type in the number of rows and columns for the label sheet, the width
and height of the individual labels, and the left and top margins. The
total number of labels is thus the number of rows multiplied by the
number of columns. Finally, give the label sheet format a descriptive
name. Click on the OK button to save the label sheet.

To select a label sheet format to print with, simply click on the name
of the label sheet in the list box in the upper left hand corner of the
Label Setup dialog box. You can later change or delete a label sheet
format by selecting it and clicking on either the Change... or Delete
buttons. You need to select a label sheet format before printing.

Next, select a font to print with by clicking on the Choose Font...
button. People Manager will present you with the standard font selection
dialog box from which you can choose the font to print. When you click
OK, People Manager should display your choice next to the Font: label in
the Label Setup dialog box. Now, click OK in the Label Setup dialog box.
Your labels should begin to print. That's all there is to it!

To print form letters, you must first create a text file that
contains the form letter. You can do this with a word processor or text
editor, or do it all from within People Manager. If you'd like to use
People Manager to create your form letter, go to the Form Letters Menu
and select New form letter. People Manager will then display a new
untitled window where you can type your letter. Just type as you
normally would, except that the following words will be replaced by the
fields in the records you are printing the mail merge with. (For an
example form letter, see formlett.txt.)

<<First Name>>
<<Last Name>>
<<Company Name>>
<<Address1>>
<<Address2>>
<<City>>
<<State>>
<<ZipCode>>
<<Country>>
<<Phone>>
<<Fax>>
<<Email1>>
<<Email2>>
<<Num>>
<<Date>>
<<Notes>>
<<CheckBox1>>
<<CheckBox2>>

<<CheckBox1>> and <<CheckBox2>> will be replaced with either True or
False depending on state of the respective check boxes in each record.

Once you are finished typing your form letter, save the file by
selecting Save as... from the Form Letters Menu.

To now begin the mail merge, select Print Mail Merge... from the File
Menu. People Manager will then display a dialog box with four buttons:
Current Record, Selected Records, All Records, and Set Font... First,
click on Set Font... to select the font that you'd like to use for the
form letters. Then, click on one of the first three buttons that
represents what you'd like to print.

People Manager will then display an open file dialog box from which you
can select the form letter to print. Navigate through your directories
until you find the form letter you'd like to print. Then select it and
click on the OK button. Your form letter will begin to print.

If you need multiple fonts or styles in your form letter or more
sophisticated options, you will need to use People Manager in
conjunction with your word processor. You can then use People Manager's
flexible export feature to export the records for use in your word
processor. Please consult your word processor's manual for information
on how to use its mail merge feature.

Searches:
Searching by criteria in People Manager is extremely easy. Simply click
on the Clear Button in the People Manager file that you are working
with. Then, type in the criteria you'd like to search by in all the
fields that you'd like to search for. If you wanted to find any person
named Smith who lived in the 08820 area code, you would simply type
Smith in the Last Name field and 08820 in the Zip Code field. Then,
click on the Find Button to start the search. When People Manager has
searched all the records in the file, it will open a new window with the
found records.

This new window is completely independent of the original file and can
be saved, printed, or edited just like any other window. You can also do
an additional find to narrow the criteria. Since the new window is
independent, changes made to its data will not affect the original file.

Please also note that the state of the check boxes will affect the Find
operation. Leaving a check box unchecked will limit the search to
records with that check box unchecked. Checking a check box will have
the opposite effect.

Special Cut, Copy, and Paste:
People Manager offers the standard cut, copy, and paste commands to cut,
copy, and paste text as in other Windows applications. It also offers
Special versions of these commands that allows you to cut, copy, and
paste address records between different People Manager files.

To cut or copy address records from a file, simply select the record or
records that you'd like to cut or copy. Then select Special Cut or
Special Copy from the Edit Menu.

To paste address records you have previously cut or copied, simply
select the People Manager window you would like to paste into and select
Special Paste from the Edit Menu.

Miscellaneous:
Toolbar:
People Manager offers a toolbar from which you can quickly select
commonly used features of the program. From left to right, the buttons
in the toolbar represent the following features: help, open, save, cut,
copy, paste, cascade windows, and tile windows.

Toolbar Orientation:
You can also change the orientation of the toolbar by selecting
Horizontal Toolbar, Right Vertical Toolbar, or Left Vertical Toolbar
from the Options Menu.

Show Menu:
People Manager can only display approximately 4,000 records at one time
in the list box. If you are working on large files, you'll need to use
the Show Menu to display the records that you want to work with. Simply
go to the Show Menu and select one of the menu items to limit the
records displayed. One special note---if you add a record that is
outside the constraints in the Show Menu, the record will be added but
not shown. You can display the record by going to the Show menu and
selecting the appropriate menu item.

Drag and Drop Files Feature:
Windows 3.1 users can drag files from the File Manager into the People
Manager Window to open People Manager files directly, bypassing People
Manager's Open command. Users can also type a file name in the command
line (if run from the File Manager's Run command) to open a file
directly.

Status Bar:
People Manager displays a status bar at the bottom of its window. It
displays the time, date, record mode that you're in, and memory left. If
the memory reading is low, you might want to save your work and possibly
restart windows. (To restart Windows, simply quit Windows and run it
again.) Please see the Adding, Deleting, Editing, and Viewing Data
section to learn more about the record mode.

Setting the Window Font:
With People Manager (and Info Manager), you can specify a different
screen display font for every file that you use. (The font information
is saved inside the file so that it will retain this information between
restarts.) To change the window font, select Select Window Font... from
the Options Menu. The standard MS Windows font choosing dialog should
appear. Choose the font and font size you prefer and click on the OK
button.

INFO MANAGER DOCUMENTATION:

Categories, Key Words, Items, and other wonders of the
universe.
Info Manager is based on three basic object types---Categories, Key
Words, and Items. Each object type has its own list box from which you
can choose individual categories, key words, and items.

Your data is stored in Items, while Categories and Key Words are merely
used to index your data. It is important to understand that there is no
direct link between items and categories or key words. Neither
categories nor key words "own" any items.

In fact, you could use Info Manager without ever adding a Category and
Key Word. You could still browse through the data by clicking on the
Show All Super-Category stored inside the Category list box. (Show All
is not a real category, but instead shows all key words and items.) You
could also use the Search Menu to search your data items by word or date
entered.

However, by using categories and objects, you can add substantial value
to your data for anyone who wants to browse it.

Every category has its own list of key words. The key words are not
exclusive as two or more categories can share the same key words.
Keywords then point to your data items. They do not own your data items,
but instead (when selected) search for all data items that contain the
selected keyword and display them in the items list box. Items can have
multiple key words, so that one can reach the same data item with
different key words. And since one can reach different (or even the
same) key words with different categories, one can reach the same data
item with different categories. Every data item is cross-indexed and
reachable through multiple pathways.

The best way to learn how to use Info Manager is to jump in and try it
for yourself. Follow along as we create a sample computer database and
you'll be an Info Manager expert in no time.

To add a category, look for the Categories: list box on the left side
of an open Info Manager window. Then look down until you see an empty
edit text box between the Delete and Add buttons. Type the name of the
category you'd like to add here. For our example computer database,
we'll want to add categories for By Processor, By Manufacturer, and By
Price. So type in Processor in the edit text box. Then click on the Add
button below where you typed. By Processor should now be in the
Categories list box. Follow the same procedure for By Manufacturer and
By Price so that all three items are displayed in the list box.

You might notice that By Manufacturer doesn't fit in the Categories list
box. One solution is to abbreviate the category. To edit a category
name you've already added, simply click on the category name you want
to edit (in this case By Manufacturer). Then change the text in the text
box. (Perhaps change the text to By Manuf.) Then click on the Change
button to make your changes take effect. You should notice the change in
the Categories list box.

Another possible solution is to change the font or font size that you're
using for the entire window. With Info Manager, you can specify a
different font for every file that you use. (The font information is
saved inside the file so that it will retain this information between
restarts.) To change the window font, select Select Window Font...
from the Options Menu. The standard MS Windows font choosing dialog
should appear. Choose the font and font size you prefer and click on the
OK button.

The next step is to add keywords to the categories we've created. To
add a keyword, first click on the category that you'd like to add a
key word to. Let's add our first key word to the By Manufacturer (or By
Manuf.) category, so click on the category to select it. Next, look for
the edit text box underneath the Key Words: list box. Click on the box
to select it, and type in Gateway 2000. Then, click on the Add button
beneath the box to add it to your list of key words. Repeat this process
to Add Zeos to the keyword list.

To test that the keywords have been added properly, switch categories by
clicking on the By Price category. The key words in the Key Words list
box should disappear. Then, click on the By Manuf. category. The key
words should reappear, showing you that they belong to the By Manuf.
category.

The next step is to repeat the process for By Price and By Processor.
For the By Price category, add the following key words: 1000-2000, 2000-
3000, and Over 3000. For the By Processor category, add the following
key words: 486SX, 486DX, 486DX2, and Pentium.

All that's left now is to add the meat of the database---the data items
themselves. To add an item, look for the Items: list box and type an
item name in the edit text box below the list box. Then, type in the
data item's contents in the Item View: edit text box in the upper right
corner of the Info Manager window. Next, type in the item's key words in
the Key Words: edit text box in the lower right hand corner of the
window. Finally, click on the Add button to add the item to the
database.

You can also edit the Item View: information in its own window. Just
click the right mouse button on top of the Item View text edit box. You
can then type in the Item View window. When you're finished typing,
close the Item View window and the contents will be transferred back to
the Item View edit text box.

For our sample computer database, we will add three computer models from
each manufacturer. The actual data is not important since any data I
currently provide will doubtless be obsolete by the time you read this,
but the key words are important. Let's start with a $1200 486SX machine
from Gateway 2000. In the key words edit text box, type in "Gateway 2000
486SX 1000-1999" without the quotes. The order of the items is not
important, just as long as the key words are typed exactly the same as
the key words you added to each category. Feel free to add additional
key words as well. Then type in a description of the computer in the
item view edit text box, and use the pop up window by clicking on the
item view edit text box with the right mouse button. Finally, name the
data item with the model name---perhaps GW 486-SX33. That's all there is
to it. Repeat this process with other models from Gateway. You can also
add models for Zeos. If you'd rather not type all this information in,
you might want to take a look at the final result stored in the
COMPUTER.DAB file included with Info Manager.

Play around with the information, clicking on different categories to
bring up different key words. Then, click on the key words to bring up
items indexed with those key words. You might also want to click on the
Show All super category at the top of the Categories: list box to see
all your data at once.

To search the entire database, go to the Search Menu and select the
Search All Items By Text... menu item. Type in a word to search for.
Info Manager will display all items containing the word in either its
key words, name, or item view fields. To search by date entered,
select Search All Items By Date Entered... from the Search Menu. Then
type in the date in the format specified. Info Manager will display all
items added on the date specified. Most likely (unless you started
working on this file right before midnight), all your data for this file
was added in the same day, so you'll have to test it with the current
date.

To open or save a file, go to the File Menu and select Open... or
Save. The extension for Info Manager files is .DAB, although you can
change the extension in the open and save file dialog boxes to display
other files.

Drag and Drop Files Feature:
Windows 3.1 users can drag files from the File Manager into the Info
Manager Window to open Info Manager files directly, bypassing People
Manager's Open command. Users can also use type a file name in the
command line (if run from the File Manager's Run command) to open files
directly.

BETA TESTING:
I'm always looking for good beta testers, and all registered users are
more than welcome to join our beta testing team.

Beta testers are an invaluable part of the development process. As a
beta tester, you'll not only help me find bugs in my software, but also
discuss new features and make suggestions that guide the development of
our products.

I currently do all my testing on America Online, a commercial online
service, and the Internet. America Online is the most inexpensive of the
commercial services, and their email system is particularly well-suited
for beta testing. If you're not already an America Online user, you can
get their starter software kit and 10 hours free by calling 800-227-
6364. Users (especially international users who do not have access to
America Online) are welcome to beta test through the Internet. I do not
use Compuserve for regular beta testing due to their current cost
structure.

To join our beta testing team, just send an email message to AdamStein
on America Online (or [e-mail] on the Internet) with your name
and address so that I can confirm that you're a registered users.

TECH SUPPORT:
Technical support is available to all users of Opportunity for Windows
at no charge. You may contact our technical support staff (i.e., the
author!) if you have any problems with or questions about Opportunity
for Windows. We're also very open to suggestions for improvements to the

You can call the author direct at 908-548-5107. Faxes can be sent to
908-632-1766. On American Online, send email to AdamStein. On
Compuserve, send email to 71140,2051. Internet users (and users of any
service with access to the Internet) can reach the author at
[e-mail].

Of course, you can also send mail to us at:
