Paulick. This document contains only a brief description of the package and its features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more easily read after installation. NAMEBASE is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see README.TXT for more details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see README.TXT for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the program. A new Windows version of NAMEBASE is now available, and will be included FREE! You just have to ask for it when you register. It will convert your data from the DOS version, so you won't have to re-enter your data. ===== Packing List ===================================== As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ: Filename Size Date Time CRC32 READ_ME.BAT 413 1-Jul-1996 03:30a E2A5E475 NAME.DAT 11921 1-Jul-1996 04:13p C549C7F2 FILE_ID.DIZ 427 1-Jul-1996 08:15p 08FBFFB9 NAME.EXE 126149 1-Jul-1996 04:06p F1D9522C ORDER.FRM 1230 1-Jul-1996 08:26p 44953C84 README.TXT 44986 1-Jul-1996 04:02p A0859511 ===== Installation ===================================== INSTALLING NAMEBASE: Simply copy all files from the NAMEBASE diskette to any directory on your hard disk, or insert the NAMEBASE diskette into your floppy drive if you don't have a hard disk. Then follow the instructions under the heading STARTING NAMEBASE. If you need more instruction than that, read below: To install NAMEBASE on your hard disk, you should first create a sub-directory. Refer to your DOS manual, or follow these directions: - Make sure you are at the DOS prompt (usually contains a > symbol). - Make sure that the default disk is the one you want to copy NAMEBASE onto. You can change the default disk by simply typing the name of this disk followed by a colon (:), such as C: - Make a new sub-directory on this disk using the DOS Make Directory command (MD), such as MD \NAME This will create a sub-directory called NAME on the default disk. - Change to this new directory using the DOS Change Directory command (CD), such as CD \NAME Copy all files from the NAMEBASE floppy disk to your hard disk using the DOS COPY command, such as COPY A:*.* C:\NAME That's all there is to it! STARTING NAMEBASE, AND USING COMMAND LINE OPTIONS: You start NAMEBASE simply by typing NAME at the DOS prompt. First make sure you are in the directory where the NAMEBASE files have been copied to. For example, if you copied the NAMEBASE files to a directory called NAME on your C drive, and NAME is not the current directory, you would issue the following DOS commands to start NAMEBASE: C: CD \NAME NAME Besides the NAME.EXE file, NAMEBASE needs a database file called NAME.DAT. NAME.DAT contains your lists of names and addresses, and the program will create this file if it finds that it does not exist. You can also have NAMEBASE use any other file name for your database by specifying that file name after the NAME command, such as: NAME MYFILE.DAT This allows you to use more than one database if you want. Certain monochrome monitors, such as those found on some laptops and other machines, emulate a color monitor. NAMEBASE automatically detects the type of monitor you are using and adjusts accordingly, but has no way of knowing that some machines that say they are color are not. If you have a monochrome monitor and have difficulty reading the screens, try starting NAMEBASE with the following command: NAME/B NAMEBASE is supplied to you with a NAME.DAT file, which already contains some names and addresses. To look at this file, start NAMEBASE with the following command: NAME When you want to start entering your own data, delete this sample file with the following command: DEL NAME.DAT Then start NAMEBASE as before, by typing the following command: NAME When you don't specify any file name after the NAME command, NAMEBASE looks for a file called NAME.DAT. If it does not find this file, it will create a new one for you without any records in it. ---------- End of Installation Instructions ------------- A Windows version of NAMEBASE is now available, and a fully registered version of NameBase for Windows will be included FREE when you register, just for the asking. A description of this new program follows: * * * * * * * * * ANNOUNCING NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS * * * * * * * * * I'm very proud and excited to announce NameBase for Windows! I'm happy to say the program and documentation are finally complete. The first question you may be asking is: Will current NameBase data work with this new version? The answer is yes. The registered version of NameBase for Windows includes a program that converts all of your existing NameBase data to the Windows version. NameBase for Windows is a totally new program that is much more powerful than the DOS version, but even easier to use! Many of the features that my customers have asked for are now included. If you have used the DOS version of NameBase for a while, you're probably familiar with the ability to separate the records in your database into different groups called Sub-files. NameBase for Windows takes this concept much further. Sub-files are now called categories. You can assign each record in your database to multiple categories, so now someone can be in your list of friends and your list of business associates. Furthermore, you can display each list individually or all lists combined. You can easily assign a person to any category with the click of a mouse, and delete categories just as easily. No matter how many categories you assign a record to, that record only need exist in the database once. No more duplicate data between categories. NameBase also lets you add more than one person with the same name. Any group of records can be displayed, based on any criteria you specify. For example, suppose you want to see all people in your database who live in Colorado. You can do this easily by specifying that you want to display all records where the State equals "CO". This search can be much more advanced, such as finding all persons whose first name starts with "R" and whose last name ends with the letters "son". Not only does it find all the records you want, but they are displayed in a convenient list that you can easily edit. You only have to deal with the records you want, not the whole database. You can sort your lists by any field in the database. There is now a separate field for company or organization name. Sort by that field instead of the last name field if you are searching for a company, or if you want to see all the people in that company. You can quickly locate any record by simply typing the first few characters of whatever field you happen to have sorted by, not just by the person's last name like before. You can easily search for any text in the entire database. For example, suppose an unfamiliar phone number appears on your phone bill. Just enter that number into the NameBase Find box, and every record containing that phone number anywhere (even in the Notes field) will be displayed. You can edit data directly on a spreadsheet-like grid, or on a full-screen form like before. You can prevent printing of the notes data for specific records, yet let notes print for other records. This is useful if you put some confidential information in the notes field that you would rather not print in your address book or other report. Click the mouse on the Clipboard button, and the full name and address of the current record is copied to the Windows Clipboard. You can then easily paste this information directly into a letter you may be writing to that person with your word processor. There is now a Country field, as well as an additional address line. There are also two new user-definable fields, places for five phone numbers and five dates, and an E-mail field. The maximum number of characters you can enter into each field in the database has been substantially increased, and is not limited to what can be seen on the screen. You can tell NameBase which of the two addresses you want to print on labels. You can now specify the style and size of print for labels and envelopes. Choose from all available Windows fonts. NameBase for Windows uses a Microsoft Access database, and can handle tens of thousands of records. If you own Microsoft Access, you can even write your own reports. Mail Merge is a snap using just about any word processor, and data is easily imported into most spreadsheets. You can even use NameBase on a Local Area Network, to share the same database among many people. It makes a great department-wide or company-wide phone book. NameBase includes complete on-line help, including searching for topics and linking to related subjects. To run NameBase for Windows, the minimum recommended requirement is a computer with at least a 386 processor and 4 Megabytes of RAM. You will also need Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or later installed. NameBase for Windows also runs fine under Windows 95 and Windows NT. The Shareware version of NameBase for Windows is on various online services and BBS's as file name NAME102.ZIP or NAME104.ZIP. The Shareware version is limited to holding no more than 40 records. The program that converts your data from the old version of NameBase is only supplied to fully registered users and is not Shareware. The regular price for NameBase for Windows is $33. However I will include the fully registered Windows version for FREE when you register the DOS version. Registration for NameBase for Windows is not available via the old phone order number, and I cannot accept credit cards. 3.5 inch diskettes will be sent. Please make checks payable to Michael Paulick for a total of $29 and send to the following address: Michael Paulick PO BOX 935 CONIFER, CO 80433 YOU MUST INDICATE ON THE ORDER FORM THAT YOU WANT THE WINDOWS VERSION IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FREE OFFER! If you want only the Windows version, you are still paying less than the regular price. In that case, please let me know that I don't have to include the DOS version also, and you can subtract another dollar off the price, for a total of only $28. If you want only the DOS version, you can also take this $1.00 discount. Thanks. * * * * * * * END OF NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS ANNOUNCEMENT * * * * * * * ===== Warranty ========================================= LIMITED WARRANTY THIS SOFTWARE AND MANUAL ARE PROVIDED FOR EVALUATION ONLY, ON AN "AS IS" BASIS.
