- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains the CONTACT PLUS (R) PERSONAL 97 SYSTEM by CONTACT
- PLUS CORPORATION. This document contains only a brief description along
- with instructions for its installation. Detailed documentation is
- included in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more easily
- read after installation.
-
- If you've been trying to keep track of your clients using a conventional
- phone book, rolodex or other simple name and address book program then
- Contact Plus Personal 97 is for you. Contact Plus Personal helps you
- keep your contacts organized into multiple databases. You may have a
- personal database of your softball team, a database of interested clients
- for your business, a database of the members of the choir and want to
- keep all of this information in one standard place.
-
- This version includes a handy built-in map which includes the timezones,
- area codes and distances between you and your contacts.
-
- Contact Plus Personal 97 provides an intuitive easy to use way of keep
- track of your contacts, letters to each contact, notes, phone calls,
- meetings, to-dos, etc.
-
- You can directly send e-mail to your contacts with full history of the
- e-mail. Or you can do a mass mailing via e-mail. E-mail requires a MAPI
- compliant serve such as MicroSoft Exchange or Eudora Pro.
-
- Several sample databases are provided for quick and easy setup. Follow
- the examples for more information.
-
- Contact Plus Personal 97 comes with several on-line coaches making it
- easy to start learning the system right away.
-
- A complete history of all contacts such as letters, phone calls,
- meetings is stored perpetually for each contact. Never forget an
- appointment as alarms can be set in advance of your meetings. Drag and
- drop capability on the calendars make scheduling a breeze.
-
- Contact Plus Personal 97 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. If you like the program,
- and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you are
- required to pay for the program. 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.
-
- Call about the network version of Contact Plus Personal for Windows!

-
- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for Contact Plus Personal 97 is quite simple.
- The package includes a program, "SETUP.EXE", which automates the entire
- process. You will need about 7 megabytes of available disk space on the
- hard drive on which you plan to install Contact Plus Personal 97.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- Contact Plus Personal for Windows.
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place the distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
- appropriate diskette drive.
-
- o Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
- For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A: from
- Program Manager run the command: "A:SETUP".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the files to that directory. If you received the product
- on more than one diskette, you will need to insert subsequent
- diskettes when asked to do so.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded Contact Plus Personal 97 from a BBS (or received it in
- the form of archive files from some other source), you will need to
- perform the following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you received
- the package.
-
- o Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
- example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
- the <product> package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the
- command, "c:\tempdir\SETUP".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the product files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
- installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed the product
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- DATABASE ENGINE INSTALLATION
-
- Contact Plus for Windows uses the 32-bit Borland Database Engine. This
- is a powerful database engine that can be used by other applications. It
- should be installed in your C: drive as Borland recommends. The database
- engine consumes about 3.5 Megabytes.
-
- The database engine is automatically installed when SETUP is run. Do
- not delete the database engine since it is necessary to run Contact Plus
- Personal successfully.
-
- Note that the default settings for the Borland Database Engine is
- 'paradox ascii'. If you are working in a language other than english
- you may change the default by running the BDECFG32.exe program.
-
- UNINSTALLATION
-
- To uninstall, go to Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs. You
- will see Contact Plus Personal 97 as one of the choices. CLick on the
- remove button.
-
- The uninstallation program will also uninstall the Borland Database
- Engine.
-
- If you are running Windows '95 then you can instead uninstall Contact
- Plus Personal for Windows using the Add/Remove Programs available under
- the Control Panel Group.
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the help files
- and coaches which have been installed.
-
- If you decide that Contact Plus Personal is not for you there is an
- automatic uninstall procedure which will remove all installed files
- restoring your system to it's state before the install.
-
