- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- NameBase is a program that keeps track of names, addresses, phone
- numbers, dates, notes and other miscellaneous data about persons and
- organizations. A unique feature allows you to organize entries into any
- category you wish, then view these categories separately or combined.
-
- You can assign a person to any number of categories, yet enter their data
- only once.
-
- NameBase lets you specify any criteria to further limit the records
- displayed. You can then view, edit, or print just the records you
- selected. You can also search for any string of characters in all
- records.
-
- NameBase lets you sort on any field. You can edit a record in a
- spreadsheet-like grid or on a separate edit screen. Many fields have
- user-customizable screen labels.
-
- Various printed reports are included. There are address books in
- different sizes, from full-size to pocket-size. You can specify the
- type of print and starting position for mailing labels and envelopes.
-
- NameBase uses a Microsoft Access database (Access is NOT required), so
- it is easy to access your NameBase data using many other products
- such as Word, Excel, and Access. You can even write your own reports
- using Access. Mail merge is a snap using most any word processor.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- If the NameBase for Windows files are compressed into a single file
- such as NAME200.ZIP, you must first uncompress that file into a single
- directory on your hard disk, using the PKUNZIP program, the WINZIP
- program, or some other program that can "un-zip" files.
- After uncompressing follow the directions below.
-
- To install the NameBase program, first start Microsoft Windows. Make
- sure no other programs are started, such as virus-checking programs or
- FAX programs. Other programs can interfere with the installation.
-
- From the Windows Program Manager, select the File menu.
- If you have Windows 95, press the Start button instead.
- Then choose RUN.
-
- In the RUN box, type the drive and directory containing the uncompressed
- ("un-zipped") NameBase files, followed by \SETUP and then press Enter.
- For example, if you unzipped the NAME200.ZIP file into a directory
- named DOWNLOAD on your C drive, you would type:
- C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP in the RUN box, and then press the Enter key.
-
- The Setup program will then take over. After it starts, it will ask you
- where to install the program files. The drive and directory are already
- filled in with C:\NAMEWIN. This is usually where you want to install the
- files, so just press Enter and the installation will continue. The
- installation program will copy the files to their proper places and
- create a NameBase for Windows program group and icons in Windows for you.
-
- After installation, you should click on the NameBase Help icon and read
- each of the topics listed in the Help file.
-
- If you want to make "normal" installation diskettes which simply
- require the user to run the setup program without unzipping the file
- first, you will need two diskettes. Unzip the NAME200.ZIP file to a
- hard disk, then copy all un-zipped files except NAMEBASE.HL_ to the
- first diskette. Copy file NAMEBASE.HL_ to the second diskette. The
- setup program will prompt the user to insert Disk 2 when required.
-
- It is possible to install NameBase without using the setup program,
- although you would not want to unless you encounter some problem with
- the installation. If you do encounter some problem installing
- NameBase, MAKE SURE NO OTHER PROGRAMS ARE RUNNING WHEN YOU INSTALL
- NAMEBASE. You may even want to end Windows, then restart it, then
- close any programs that Windows may automatically run upon start-up.
- Other programs running is the most common cause of installation problems.
-
- To install NameBase manually (as a last resort), all of the files on the
- diskette which have names ending with ".DL_" and ".VB_" and ".38_" need
- to be expanded into your \Windows\System directory. You also need to
- create a directory named "NAMEWIN" and expand the other files from
- the diskette to this directory. You need to install every file that
- ends with an underscore character (_). To install these files, you need
- to use the EXPAND.EXE program which comes with Microsoft Windows.
- The syntax for running this program is:
- EXPAND sourcefilename destinationfilename
- Replace "sourcefilename" with the drive and file name of the file on the
- diskette, such as A:VBRUN300.DL_ and replace "destinationfilename" with
- the drive, directory, and file name of the expanded file, which in this
- example is C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VBRUN300.DLL
- The last 3 characters of all files that end with "DL_" become "DLL".
- The last 3 characters of all files that end with "VB_" become "VBX".
- The last 3 characters of all files that end with "EX_" become "EXE".
- The last 3 characters of the file that ends with "HL_" become "HLP".
- The last 3 characters of the file that ends with "38_" become "386".
- The last 3 characters of the file that ends with "MD_" become "MDB".
- Therefore, to install the VBRUN300 file, you type the following command:
- EXPAND A:VBRUN300.DL_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VBRUN300.DLL
- To install the MSCOMM file, you must type the following command:
- EXPAND A:MSCOMM.VB_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSCOMM.VBX
- To install the NameBase help file, you must type the following command:
- EXPAND A:\NAMEBASE.HL_ C:\NAMEWIN\NAMEBASE.HLP
- This last command assumes you already created a directory called
- NAMEWIN, because that is where the expanded file will be copied to by
- the EXPAND program. You do not need to install any files that do not
- end with the underscore character.
-
- If you STILL have problems trying to install NameBase, please send me a
- note detailing the problem, preferably by e-mail. Don't give up!
- NameBase is worth it, and you will see how good my support is.
- My e-mail address is 70640.1614@compuserve.com
- Thanks!
