- Welcome to Organize!. The most innovative, easiest to use and most cost
- effective PIM (Personal Information Manager) for Microsoft(R) Windows(TM).
-
- BEFORE YOU GO ON
- ----------------
- You can get the latest version from Compuserve Windows Forum or send me a
- cheque equivalent to US$7 and your contact address, so that I can mail you
- the latest version as soon as possible. Please specify 3.5 inch or 5.25 inch
- format.
-
- You should explore the Word in Context/Keyword system of data management.
- Under the Page menu, use the Page Keywords to look at the example keywords.
-
- Read the Write document manual.wri if you have problems. It is only 8 short
- pages.
-
- Converting from earlier versions to 1.3 and beyond
- --------------------------------------------------
- To use the advanced features of generating a report for printing, photocopying
- of notes based on keywords, you have to end each note with a End Note Marker.
- This is done by pressing F2 on activating End Note under the Edit menu. This
- operation draws a line to mark the end of the note. Otherwise Organize! do
- not know where a note ends.
-
- You should read file whatsnew.txt to find out the new features in version 1.4
- The new features are also described in the Windows Write file addendum.wri
-
-
- WHAT IS ORGANIZE!
- -----------------
- Organize! looks and feels exactly like a diary, making it one of the easiest
- to use software ever. No matter how disorganized you are, Organize! can
- organize it all for you and without sticking to a system that all PIMs
- impose on their customers and there is no need to plough through thick
- manuals. Because of its innovative design, you add functions as you need
- them. There are no unnecessary functions to clutter your way, steepening
- the learning curve unnecessarily.
-
- Organize! can flip pages like the real thing with binders that click open
- to insert pages. But most important, it uses a Word in Context system to
- manage random and structured personal information that you enter into the
- diary. With this system you will never loose your way again in a software.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE
- --------------
- This document supercedes all documentation of earlier versions of Organize!.
- Those who have registered with earlier versions can automatically use the
- earlier keycode and registration number to register. Upgrade from earlier
- versions is free at the moment.
-
-
- THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT (USER SUPPORTED SOFTWARE)
- ----------------------------------------------
- You are encouraged to copy and share the program freely with others.
- You have the luxury of trying out the complete program, at your own pace
- in the luxury of your own home or workplace. If, after trying out the
- programs, you decide to continue to use them, you can purchase the programs
- from the program's author, a process known as registration.
-

- shown in the packing list. Compress it in library format if you are
- uploading onto any BBS.

- REGISTRATION

- If you find this program useful you should register to get a personal
- version. Registration fee is only US$35. Please look at order.txt for
- details.
-
- Why you should register
- -----------------------
- 1. You get your personal Organize! with changeble passwords or if you prefer
- remove the password. However your data would still be encrypted based on
- the keycode provided upon registration. This would keep your information

- long, I will release each version with additional features as fast as I can
- build them.
