- FoneBook V1.0
-
- This application is firstly an address and phone book for your P.C. with some
- interesting extra features which I hope you like.
-
- Firstly this is an MDI application so you can maintain a number of FoneBook documents
- for whatever purposes you wish.
-
- As you would expect there is a Search & Find feature with which you can locate
- a person's details by entering their first or second name. the "FoneBook" can
- also be read record by record sorted on either first or second name.
- Records can be added and marked for deletion - and marked records can be removed
- permanently.
- The entire FoneBook may be printed.
-
- Each persons birthday can be stored and there is a "Birthday Check" routine which
- will create the document "birthday.fbk" containing the details of all upcoming
- birthdays. You can set a default for how far ahead this routine checks for and whether
- to call it automatically on startup. If the latter is set the Birthday Check will only
- be invoked on the first startup each day - to prevent it becoming a nuisance.
-
- If you already have your address book details in a database and want to transfer them
- to FoneBook, and this database supports ODBC - all you have to do is invoke the
- Database Append routine. You will be able to pick the ODBC DataSource & Table Name
- you want to import the information from, and match the fields in the Database Table
- with their matching fields in FoneBook. All the Records in the chosen database table
- will then be appended to the active document.
-
- If you like this application a volantary payment of ú20 or $40 (US) would be much
- appreciated - for this you might receive FoneBook V1.5, which may contain, among others,
- the extra feature of exporting a FoneBook to a Database in a similar way to the Append
- routine.
-
- If you have any problems or suggestions - or better still if you live in a warm country
- near a beach and are in a position to offer me a job - I'd love to hear about it.

- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register within a certain period.
- With registration, you get anything from the simple right to
- continue using the software to an updated program with
- printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
- and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
- Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- Users of FoneBook must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- "FoneBook is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
- warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
- the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
- The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or
- consequential, which may result from the use of FoneBook."
-
- FoneBook is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
- to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
- friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
- another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
- provide personal computer users with quality software without
- high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
- continue to develop new products. If you find this program
- useful and find that you are using FoneBook and continue to use
- FoneBook after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
- registration payment of ú20 or $40 (US) to me at the address below.
- This registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
- computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like
- a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
- number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
- location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
- being used at one location while it is being used at another.
- Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
- same time.
-
- Commercial users of FoneBook must register and pay for their
- copies of FoneBook within 30 days of first use or their license
- is withdrawn. Site license arrangements may be made by contacting
- me at the address below.
-
-
- DISTRIBUTION
-
- Anyone distributing FoneBook for any kind of remuneration must
- first contact me at the address below.
-
- This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
- recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
- shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
- FoneBook immediately. (However, I must still be notified so that
- the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latestversion of
- FoneBook).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of FoneBook along to your
- friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
- copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
- will receive a copy of the latest version of the FoneBook
- system.
-
- Notice that the copy of FoneBook can only be distributed as a whole,
- i.e. all files included in the compressed file must remain in the
- package. See the file "CONTENTS.LST" for the files in the package.
