- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- -------------------
- Address Database version 1.1 is a low-cost software package
- for managing names and addresses. It sports a slick Windows
- interface that displays a summary of all names in the address
- book as well as the detail for each name.
-
- It allows you to enter names, addresses, phone numbers and
- unlimited notes about each name in the address database; find
- names with the click of one button; categorize the names and
- filter your list by categories; maintain a list of names you
- generally send holiday cards and gifts to; print mailing
- labels; print file folders; print phone lists; print address
- books on standard or Day-Timer paper; print Holiday lists;
- keep a "To Do" list; import names and addresses from other
- software packages; export names and address to other software
- packages (for mail-merge, etc.) and merge existing files
- together for creating consolidated address books.
-
- Address Database 1.1 has an intelligent zip code that
- automatically fills in the city and state for zip codes that
- have been previously entered. It also contains intelligent
- phone numbers that convert alphabetics to numerics. Address
- Database costs less than half the price of existing personal
- information managers and the Windows interface is sharp and
- lightning fast. Unlike most name and address managers, Address
- Database lists a summary of names and the detail of each
- highlighted name, all on the same screen.

- 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. Individual programs
- differ on details -- some request registration while others
- require it, some specify a maximum trial 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 Address Database must accept this disclaimer of
- warranty:
-
- "Address Database 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 Address Database."
-
- Address Database 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
- Address Databaseand continue to use Address Database after a
- reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment
- of $19 + $5 shipping/handling to Pragmatic Software Co. The
- $19 + $5 shipping/handling 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's
- being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two
- different persons at the same time.
-
- Commercial users of Address Database must register and pay for
- their copies of Address Database within 30 days of first use
- or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may
- be made by contacting Pragmatic Software Co.
-
- Anyone distributing Address Database for any kind of
- remuneration must first contact Pragmatic Software Co. at the
- ddress below for authorization. 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 Address Database
- immediately (However Pragmatic Software Co. must still be
- advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the
- latest version of Address Database).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of Address Database 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 Address
- Database system, a printed User's Guide, a printed Tutorial, and
- free phone support for a year.
