└────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Who can distribute JEPRS?
Unless otherwise specified, all Associate (Vendor) Members of the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) are hereby entitled
to distribute JEPRS as long as they obey the stipulations present
in this document, and continue to obey by the rules of the ASP.
Other vendors who may be interested in a distribution
license should contact the author directly. Please provide a
current copy of your distribution catalog.
You must distribute all of the files together. The only
exception to this is that the JEPRS files may be distributed as
one group, and the Med2Go files may be distributed as a separate
group.
You must have a statement in your catalog to the effect
that shareware is not free software, and continued use of the
software obligates payment to the author.
I reserve the right to deny or remove distribution rights
from any vendor at any time.
Compressed files.
JEPRS and Med2Go are provided in a compressed form (as Zipped,
self-extracting files). You may provide these programs to your
customers in any form (compressed or not) that you see fit, as
long as all the files on this distribution diskette are included.
You may not exclude any files without the express, written
consent of the author. Note: Louis M. Miranda is fully licensed
by PKWare, Inc. to release JEPRS and Med2Go in a self-extracting
PKSfx-Jr format.
Price for shareware copy.
You must agree not to charge more than US$15 for a shareware copy
of JEPRS.

This section contains 3 parts: A "What's New" description; a "Short"
complete description; and a "Long" complete description. These
descriptions may be used in whole or in part in your catalog or
BBS announcement.
JEPRS is generally announced in vendors' catalogs under
the "database" or "word processing" sections (or both). For
consistency, I prefer the "database" section.
If your catalog/BBS mentions ASP membership for authors/
programs, please denote JEPRS as such a program, since its
author is a member of the ASP.
One-line description. If your BBS provides a short, one-
line description, you might consider:
>> "JEPRS v2.5: Bibliographic Database System (ASP Shareware)"
If your BBS provides searchable keywords, you might
consider the following:
>> JEPRS Jeepers Bibliography Database Med2Go WordPerfect ASP Shareware <<
*******************************************************************
What's New (for additional information, see the file WhatsNew.Doc):
*******************************************************************
Version 2.5 of JEPRS automates much of the tedium associated
with reference management. It can now generate output in the form of
WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 files or PC-Write 3.0 files, including attributes
for boldface, underline, italics, superscripts, and subscripts. It can
also "read" codes you place in your WordPerfect or PC-Write documents,
and *automatically* generate a bibliography based on those references.
In fact, it can even go back and replace those codes in your document
with an author+year citation (such as "Smith, et al. (1991)") or sequen-
tial numbers.
Other new features include the ability to insert periods after
authors' initials (if you enter authors as "Miranda LM", it can option-
ally convert it to "Miranda L.M."), as well as being capable of sorting
references at the Search and Format Menus by author, journal, or year.
In addition, sorting is much faster than in version 2.0. Registered
users now get Med2Go, a MedLine interconversion utility, free of charge.
Finally, JEPRS has improvements in its user interface. It is
now mouse-compatible at the menus and help system. And entering refer-
ences is made easier by having scrollable windows in which to enter
text.
**************************************************
Short, Complete (old & new features) Description:
**************************************************
JEPRS (pronounced ``Jeepers!'') is a bibliographic database
management system for writers & scientists. With JEPRS, users can add,
edit, list, search, format, import, and export their reference citations.
Each reference has room for a title, authors, journal or book title, pages,
volume, year, type (journal, book, or abstract), editor, publisher, &
keywords. The program can now produce WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 and PC-Write 3.0
compatible output files (including boldface, italics, underlining, super-
and sub-scripts). It can also read files made by these word processors and
automatically generate a bibliography. JEPRS runs on IBM compatibles with
at least 384kb of memory using DOS version 2.0 or greater. Any video card
and monitor will work.
**************************************************
Long, Complete (old & new features) Description:
**************************************************
JEPRS (pronounced ``Jeepers!'') is a bibliographic database
management system for writers & scientists. With JEPRS, users can add,
edit, list, search, format, import, and export their reference citations.
Each reference has room for a title, authors, journal or book title, pages,
volume, year, type (journal, book, or abstract), editor, publisher, &
keywords. JEPRS does NOT require a hard disk; it does require two
360k floppies (or one 720k floppy) and 320k memory, so any computer
with 384k memory should work. DOS version 2.0 or greater is also
required. Any video card and monitor will work with the program.
Ease of Use: JEPRS supports a mouse on its pull-down/pop-up menu
system. With an on-line, context-sensitive help system and over 100 pages
of documentation, including a quick-start tutorial, JEPRS is easy to learn
both for beginners & advanced users. It also includes an icon for use with
Windows 3.0's Program Manager.
Output: New in version 2.5 is the ability to create WordPerfect
5.0/5.1 and PC-Write 3.0 output files--now you can combine the power of your
word processor with the simplicity & power of JEPRS. The formatting
capabilities of the program include italics, underlining, superscripts,
subscripts, and boldface.
Automatic Bibliography Generation: Version 2.5 can now ``read'' a
WordPerfect 5.x or PC- Write 3.0 document, find special JEPRS codes you
place in it, and automatically generate a bibliography in your word
processor's file format. At your option, it can then go back into your
original document and replace the JEPRS codes with either an author+year
citation (such as ``Smith, et al. (1991)'') or with consecutive numbers (1,
2, 3,...).
Searching: You can specify up to 10 items to search, using
AND/OR/NOT Boolean logic and parentheses to combine search terms. Searches
can be case-sensitive or -insensitive, and searching is possible through a
range of years. Results of a search are sortable by author, year, or
journal, with each reference displayed in a condensed, one-line format. You
can scroll through the list, marking references to be sent to a printer or
text file. Pressing Enter will display the entire reference, and F4 brings
up the editing screen.
Utilities: JEPRS comes with a free utility called Med2Go (which may
be distributed independently of JEPRS). With Med2Go, users can import
MedLine, BRS/Colleague, ERIC, PsycLit, and comma-delimited (DIF) files into
their database. JEPRS also features MedLine and comma- delimited export
capabilities for compatibility with other database programs.
Registration: Registration is US$39.95 + $4 postage ($10 postage
outside USA), and registered users receive a 60-page, laser-printed,
ring-bound manual. For a limited time (through August 1991), users can take
advantage of the Competitive Upgrade Offer. This lets users of competing
programs ``upgrade'' to JEPRS version 2.5 for only $24.95; more details are
given in the WhatsNew.Doc file.
