Here's what's new for Address Manager 1.1B
Features
--------
1. You thought the listbox update was fast before...check it out now!
2. Now prints to Rolodex cards. Option to include any or none of
the following: (See Help File for details.)
Home Phone
Work Phone
Fax Phone
His Birthday
Her Birthday
Anniversary
Comments
3. Exports data to TAB or comma delimited file.
Fixes
---------------
1. Handles files with 0 names much better now.
2. Space between addresses in full book mode is back in.
3. Keyboard now works for button bar even when listbox is empty;
* key on keyboard will switch between page and filter mode.
4. Search criteria for date fields now fixed--completely broken before.
5. Correctly loads a file from a different directory now.
6. When adding names and using the Another... button, if you added
several names and then hit Cancel or <ESCAPE>, the main window listbox
was not updated properly--it now is.
7. When loading a different file, the Save Heading Columns menu option
was not properly grayed out according to the Best Fit Columns option.
8. New files and Save As... files MUST have the .ADD extension. This
prevents some *potential* bugs. Also fixed a bug where problems
occurred saving to the same file you had open.
* * * * *

REGISTRATION REMINDERS
Unlicensed copies of Address Manager are 100% fully functional.
Unlicensed copies of Address Manager have a pesky registration
reminder screen that pops up whenever you start the program.
We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our
software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone,
call the nice people at our 800 number and register Address
Manager.
When you pay for the shareware you like, you are voting with your
pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the same kinds
of products. Pay for what you like, and voila, more of what you like
will almost magically be developed.
LEGAL MATTERS
Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not
responsible for anything at all. Nothing. Even if we are held
responsible, the limit of our liability is the licensing fees
you paid. The full text of our license agreement is found near
the bottom of this file.

HOW TO INSTALL ADDRESS MANAGER
Use our snazzy setup program...
1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.
(You do have to be in Windows to run WSETUP.EXE)
2) Double-Click on the WSETUP.EXE program.
3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify initial
directory, or accept the given default (C:\ADDRESS).
NOTE: ONCE YOU HAVE ADDRESS MANAGER UP AND RUNNING, SELECT THE
FILE/SETTINGS... MENU AND PUT YOUR CORRECT AREA CODE INSIDE.
CONVERTING DATA FROM OTHER FORMATS
A handy conversion utility, written in our *just wonnerful* Windows batch
language, WinBatch, has been provided for your convenience. You will find
a compiled version of the batch file on the diskette (ADIMPORT.EXE).
To convert your pre-existing data files, follow the steps below.
1) Make an input file in our standard format. The input file for ADIMPORT
may be either comma or tab delimited. Items may be enclosed within double
quotes. Most any product can export these types of files. dBase, 123,
Excel, and most any reasonable program can export these files.
2) If the fields your program manages to export are not in our
"standard format", use a product like Excel, 123, AsEasyAs, dBase,
PC-File, or many others to move the columns around.
(Consult the product documentation or their tech support people to
do this. Don't call us, we don't have a clue.)
3) You MUST use the IN extension. A valid file name would be ADIMPORT.IN
4) Oh. Our standard format is defined below. All the following lines
will work. (Oh and where you see a %, we really mean TAB)
The input file for ADIMPORT may be either comma or tab delimited.
Individual items may be optionally enclosed within double quotes.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13
1%2%3%4%5%6%7%8%9%10%11%12%13
"1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13"
1,"2",3,"4",5,6,7,8,9,"10",11,12,"13"
"1"%2%3%"4"%5%6%7%"8"%9%10%"11"%12%13
Input file specifications:
# Description Length
-- ----------- ------
1. First name 12
2. Middle name 12
3. Last name 20
4. Address line 1 40
5. Address line 2 40
6. Address line 3 40
7. City 20
8. State 2
9. Zip code 10
10. Home phone 14
11. FAX number 14
12. Work phone 14
13. Work extension 4
A sample data file is included as SAMPLE.IN, containing eight records.
It is Comma delimited (Also know as Comma Separated)
5) Run Address Manager, and make sure it comes up and runs with the correct
data file. Now you are ready. Run the ADIMPORT.EXE or the ADIMPORT.WBT
file, Select the desired file to import, specify type of file (Tab or
Comma delimited) and watch. (About 8 seconds an address on my machine)
