PEOPLE + INFO = OPPORTUNITY FOR WINDOWS
OPPORTUNITY FOR WINDOWS RELEASE VERSION 1.0
INTRODUCTION:
Opportunity for Windows is a set of two easy to use yet powerful tools
for managing people and information: People Manager and Info Manager.
PEOPLE MANAGER DESCRIPTION:
People Manager is a powerful, yet easy to use address book manager for
Microsoft Windows. Its easy to use interface offers instant editing,
adding, deleting, and viewing of records from a single window. More than
one window can be opened at a time, and an innovative Special Cut, Copy,
and Paste extends the clipboard metaphor to allow the user to cut, copy,
and paste addresses from one document to another.
Its powerful Find command searches for addresses by your criteria and
inserts your found addresses into an independent document that can be
searched or changed like any other document. You can print both labels
and form letters, from either the current record, selected records
(including discontiguous selections!), or the entire document. A handy
form letter editor is also built into the program. The Import and Export
commands offer easy and flexible methods to import and export your data.
People Manager is perfect for business or home use---whether you're
keeping track of contacts and customers, or friends and family, there's
no better way to keep in touch with the people that are important to
you.
INFO MANAGER DESCRIPTION:
Info Manager is a powerful tool for managing your data. Your data is
organized by category and keyword. Clicking on a category brings up a
list of keywords. Clicking on a keyword brings up a list of associated
items. You can then browse (and edit) the items immediately from within
the same window. To edit or view the data in a pop-up window, simply
click the right mouse button on the data.
Each piece of information is only stored once, but can be accessed from
different "paths" allowing you to create cross-referenced data banks of
information. In the example computer database (included in this
package), you can start your search with one of several different
categories: By Manufacturer, By Price Range, or By Processor. Clicking
on "By Processor" yields a list of keywords---486SX, 486DX, 486DX2, and
Pentium. Clicking on one of the keywords lists computer models built on
the specified processor. Clicking on a specific computer displays
complete information on the computer model. The exact same computer can
be reached through the By Manufacturer or By Price Range categories as
well as a general search of all data. (You can also search data by the
date it was entered---very handy if you remember adding important data a
couple of days ago but just can't remember what it was.
Info Manager is comfortable with all levels of organization. Its search
features make it perfect for random personal information files full of
data from credit cards to phone numbers. Its category/key word approach
makes it perfect for corporate information databases. And of course, any
file can mix the two approaches, with some data floating in the database
unattached to any key word or category, and some data completely
indexed. You choose the level of organization that fits your needs.
Info Manager is difficult to describe in words---but once you start
using it, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it!
ABOUT INSANELY GREAT SOFTWARE:
Insanely Great Software was founded in 1988 by myself (Adam Stein) while
I was a freshman in high school. (I'm currently studying entrepreneurial
management at the Wharton School of Business at the University of
Pennsylvania.) The name comes from Steve Jobs, who often called things
he really liked "insanely great." It's also our motto---and our
standard. We aim to make your experience with us one worthy of our name:
from product quality to technical support.
We also aim to bring you the advantages of a small company without
sacrificing the professionalism of a large corporation. So you'll be
able to talk to me personally whenever you'd like (try talking to the
President or programmer in large companies like Microsoft or Lotus!),
but you'll also be able to order by credit card 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, from our toll-free 800 order lines. (As well as fax, email, and
regular mail!) And we ship within 24 hours, so that you won't have to
wait for your products any longer than necessary! We'll even ship your
order out Airborne Express if you desire. International customers can
get express shipping as well---usually arriving in less than a week
depending on your country---for very inexpensive rates.
If you're not a Macintosh user, you've probably never heard of us before
as Opportunity for Windows is our first product for Microsoft Windows.
To our new Windows users, I'd like to offer a special welcome. We're
very excited to develop for the Windows platform and look forward to
serving you in the future!
REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
Opportunity for Windows is shareware---or try before you buy software---
which means that you can freely distribute Opportunity for Windows, but
that you have to pay the registration free ($19.95 for People Manager or
Info Manager, or $29.95 for both) if you use it.
After 30 days, you must either pay the registration fee, or delete all
copies of Opportunity of Windows from your system.
Shareware is based on trust---authors rely completely on the honesty of
their users. It is up to users like you to keep it alive. I put a lot of
time and energy into Opportunity for Windows to make it the product it
is today. I also spend a lot of time each day helping out users---
registered and non-registered alike---by phone, email, and mail. It's
hard work (especially as a full-time college student!), but the support
from users all over the world (in over 25 countries) has more than made
it worthwhile. I wouldn't give this up for anything in the world---and I
plan to continue full-time after I graduate from college.
Some users do not send in their fees thinking that others will send in
their fees. But in reality, every user is kind of a barometer of
everyone else. If you do not send in your fee, most likely, others will
not send in their fees. If users do not send in their fees, shareware
authors will stop producing quality software. We will all lose in the
end if we do not support shareware.
When I receive your registration for People Manager, Info Manager, or
the Opportunity for Windows Bundle, I'll send you (within 24 hours!) the
most up-to-date (the version you're currently using may be old)
registered version eliminating the opening shareware registration notice
and the "Unregistered" window titles in People Manager and Info Manager.
You'll also be entitled to comprehensive, unlimited FREE support from
the author by mail, email, fax, and phone.

How to Register:
We believe that perhaps the best way for us to show you our appreciation
for your order is to make the registration process as easy as possible!
You can register by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone (both
Toll-FREE and international lines), fax, email, or mail. We gladly
accept checks, money orders, Visa, MasterCard, and P.O. Orders. And
