PopDbf is a program that will remain in memory and allow you to
find any record in any Dbase file anywhere on your hard disk
INSTANTLY!!! We include it with our sample Database program of
Tollfree listings. If you register this database with us, you
get a free REGISTERED COPY OF THIS GREAT DBASE SEARCH UTILITY.
NOTE: THE REGISTERED VERSION WILL AUTO-DIAL ANY OF THE RECORDS
YOU PULL UP ON SCREEN, IF YOU HAVE A MODEM ATTACHED TO YOUR
SYSTEM.
2ND NOTE: This version is not compatible with Windows because of
the way Windows handles its TSR's. If you have Windows, you
should order the Windows version of this program.
{And, as an extra bonus for registering, you will get of FAX
numbers for many of many of the companies you find in our
directory.}
TO ORDER CALL: 1-800-228-6324
\\\ TO PRINT A CATALOG OF OTHER PRODUCTS HIT 'ESC'
\\\ GO TO BOOKS THEN CATALOG AND CHOOSE PRINT FROM THE MENU ///
IMPORTANT: This is a program that works best in a Memory Resident
Mode because it will allow you to look up toll-free numbers while
using another program and then going back to your original program
QUICKLY AND EASILY WITH A HOTKEY. In this case the <ALT> &
<BACKSPACE> COMBINATION.
NOTE: This is a TSR program (Terminate & Stay Resident in
Memory). The only problem we find with this kind of a program
is that it might conflict with other TSR'S you might already be
using such as Sidekick. If you must use these other TSR's, you
should upgrade to DOS 5.0 or the latest version of Norton
Utilities either of which can help you manage your TSR's to run
together.
{If you have not already up-graded your DOS to version 5.0, you
may want to call us to order it. It's only $59.95. It's a very
worthwhile investment because with it, you can place your
favorite programs in the program manager which then allows you
to 'Hotkey' back and forth between them, increasing your
productivity and the productivity of employees. All programs
are instantly available and each one leaves off exactly where
you were so that when you return, you have not lost any time.
We like DOS 5.0 very much and feel it is the most significant of
all DOS upgrades since the beginning of DOS based operating
systems. It also works well with a mouse and therefore is our
second choice for easy to use operating systems after Microsoft
Windows 3.0.}
The other thing that DOS 5.0 does for you is it gives you more
accessible memory below the 640KB level by loading many TSR's
and device drivers into High Memory automatically and works
better than any other memory management program we know of.
Since our program is a TSR, 'Terminate & Stay Resident' program,
you will have fewer problems with our program and others once
you upgrade.
If after installing our program it locks you up, call us, and
we'll trouble shoot it for you. The only problem we've had is
that many TSR's may be trying to load into the same address
space in DOS. Don't Panic! We can solve this problem for you!
Our Toll Free Number is - 1-800-228-6324
So, if you definitely do not want to upgrade to Windows 3.0, you
should at least upgrade to DOS 5.0 because with it you have the
same ease of use and speed, but you do not lose your investment
in your favorite DOS based programs.
ENOUGH FOR NOW ABOUT UPGRADING.
TO INSTALL OUR 'ON-LINE TOLL FREE DIRECTORY':
1. Insert our diskette in your drive.
2. Log on to the drive. {type 'A:'}
3. At the 'A>' type 'Install'.
4. This will install our program into a directory on your hard
drive called, '800#s'.
5. It will also modify your 'Autoexec.bat' file so that our
memory resident program, 'PopDbf' will run automatically from
any subdirectory.
6. REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER. This will activate the memory
resident program, POPDBF.
USING OUR 'ON-LINE DIRECTORY':
AFTER YOU REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM, YOU'RE READY TO USE OUR PROGRAM!
HIT <ALT><BACKSPACE>
{THIS IS OUR HOTKEY COMBINATION AND IS THE ONLY WAY TO ACTIVATE
OUR PROGRAM.}
This installation allow you to run our program very quickly from
within any other application, look up your Tollfree number and
then return to your regular business.
*** You can do all of the following FROM WITHIN ANY OTHER DOS
PROGRAM!!! ***
Now, all you have to do is use our 'HOTKEY' combination, the
<ALT><BACKSPACE> the 'Alt' key and the 'Backspace' key hit in
succession or in combination will bring up the memory resident
search portion of our program. Now, all you need to do is
instruct it to look at our Database, '800#S.DBF'. Just
highlight it in the picklist.
You'll notice that the searching of this database or any other
you care to use is very fast. This is because our program is
memory resident. It uses the fastest part of your computer, the
RAM memory to make its searches and this is why it is so fast.
TO SEARCH A COMPANY FOR TOLL FREE LISTING.
HIT THE F7 KEY
THEN - IN THE BOX - TYPE ANY PORTION OF THE COMPANY NAME OR
CATEGORY OF PRODUCT AND HIT ENTER.
THE PROGRAM WILL FIND EVERY
RECORD WITH YOUR TYPING ANYWHERE IN THE RECORD.
THE PROGRAM WILL PULL UP THE RECORD OF THE COMPANY YOU ARE
LOOKING FOR IN SECONDS. REMEMBER, HOWEVER, THIS IS ONLY A
SAMPLE DATABASE, THE COMPANY YOU MAY BE LOOKING FOR IS PROBABLY
NOT LISTED IN THIS FREE VERSION. IN THE REGISTERED VERSION, YOU
GET THE COMPLETE AT&T TOLLFREE DIRECTORY ON LINE IN THIS MANNER.
IMPORTANT: The first time you load our memory resident program,
it defaults to our subdirectory and file. You can customize it
for any other DBF files you may have USING 'POPCFG.EXE'. See
POPDBF.DOC for more.
Now, you can dial the number and type any notes of your
conversation in the NOTES FIELDS. If you have to leave the
program to do something else,
HIT THE <ALT><BACKSPACE> KEY COMBO ONCE AGAIN.
This will take you out of our program and put you back in the
program you were in before you called it up. Then, hitting the
<ALT><BACKSPACE> KEY COMBO ONCE AGAIN, takes you right back to
the record you were in last!! Pretty neat, huh?
Now, you're ready to search with the F7 key for any other company or
product category that you want to find.
{You will see a pick list of files. Optionally, you can add your
own files to this pick list. Refer to POPDBF.DOC.}
Other Function keys are listed on the bottom for your convenience.
EXAMPLE:
TRY USING THE <ALT><F5> COMBINATION. This allows you to view
the underlying application screen. Great for using two programs
at once.
Or try using the Paste function to copy a company's name and
address or telephone number down into your word processor. Want
to find the Paste Function key? Just hit <ALT><F1> for help!!
It's a very user-friendly application!!
The registered version will even dial the tollfree number for
you if you are connected to a Modem.
You can look up a Tollfree phone Number, by hitting the F7
key for 'Search'. Type in any key word in the box that pops up.
<ALT><BACKSPACE>. Then when you've made your phone call, go
back to your underlying program with the <ALT><BACKSPACE> key
once again. NOTE: USING THE <ALT><BACKSPACE> HOTKEY WILL ALWAYS
RETURN YOU TO THE SAME FILE AND RECORD.
Or hit the <ESC> key to leave the Tollfree Directory. Please
Note: It is best to hit the <ALT><BACKSPACE> Hotkey combination
because this method of leaving and entering our program BRINGS
YOU RIGHT BACK TO THE LAST RECORD YOU WERE USING!!!
{PLEASE NOTE: If you try to add information to any record, a
message will pop up telling you that you are in READONLY mode.
This means that you cannot add or change data to this record,
unless you hit the <ALT><M> key combo. This is a safety feature
so that you don't lose or erase our data easily. If you want
you can boot the program to allow editing of these records. See
POPDBF.DOC or the help screen to find out how.}
From here on in, you merely follow the onscreen instructions.
Use the function keys shown at the bottom of your screen to
locate our files or any other Dbase files you may already have
on your disk. This program will let you browse them much more
quickly than by going into the Dbase managers themselves. Now,
you can use the F7 key for instance to search on any criteria,
such as Company Name or product category that you are looking
for. The program will search the 'TollFree Database' and bring
up records that meet your search criteria.
Then just manually dial the 'Tollfree' number, or if you have
the registered version and a modem, it will dial it for you
automatically.
{OUR COMPANION PROGRAM - POPDBF - WILL DO MUCH MORE SUCH AS CUT
AND PASTE RECORD INFORMATION, PRINT LABELS ETC. REFER TO THE
FILE 'POPDBF.DOC' FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS MEMORY RESIDENT
DBASE UTILITY. IT'S THE BEST WAY WE KNOW OF FINDING INFORMATION
FAST - IF IT'S IN THE DBASE FORMAT.}
Due to the constraints of distributing this program through the
Shareware Distribution system, we felt it necessary to make our
program available on one diskette. Therefore, you have obtained
a SAMPLE DATABASE ONLY! If you load our On-Line Directory and
find it USEFUL, please call us and order the full database of
over 100,000 toll free listings. The sample program will show
you how this program can save you hundreds even thousands of
dollars a year. EVEN IF YOU ONLY MAKE A FEW CALLS PER MONTH, IT
WILL SAVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN IT COSTS.}
{USE IT TO FIND FLOWERS, GIFTS, EVEN FOOD, WITH MODERN PACKAGING AND
FREIGHT SERVICES, OFTEN THE PRODUCTS YOU NEED CAN BE OBTAINED MORE
EASILY WITH AN 800 NUMBER.}
USE IT TO CUT YOUR PHONE BILLS OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR BY AS
MUCH AS 50% !!!
{NOW THE GOOD NEWS: You can simply call us on our 800 number and
we'll be happy to send you the full version with over 100,000
listings, for only $69.00. This version is obviously more
complete and will be even more useful to people who want to talk
to a wider variety of suppliers or services with our program}
{We have several versions for you depending on the space
available on your hard disk, so before you call us, please
determine how much free space you have available on your hard
disk.}
