REGISTRATION
KEBER's NICE ADDRESS PROGRAM (K.N.A.P.) is marketed as Shareware. The term
"Shareware" means that we provide you with a copy of the program for you to
"try out" for a short evaluation time. After a few weeks of use, you are
required to either dispose of the program or send us the purchase price for
registration. Extended use without registration is a violation of our
rights assigned by Copyright Law.
WARNING: Shareware versions of all our programs are, and will remain, fully
functional. But any of several safeguards "may" exist to encourage User
Registration and to detect and expose the illegal sale of pirated copies
which may have been "Doctored" or "Altered".
User Support (both Telephone & Written) is available for anyone who needs
help or information with any of our products.
Because we produce and support MANY different software packages, and each
package usually has several updated releases and revisions, please have the
following information available whenever you contact us for any reason: -
Program's Full Name, Version Number, and Serial Number (even if NOT a
Registered Program)
(Example: "K.N.A.P. Version 1.4 - Serial# 12151990261")
(Serial Numbers are shown on the 1st & Last program screens)
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
BONUS FOR REGISTERING
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
All Users who register will receive the latest updated, improved and
"Debugged" version of this program. They are also kept advised of all of
our new programs, and many times, Registered Users are offered special
discounts toward (and free Demos of) our new programs.
ANOTHER "TID-BIT"
Registered Users who have "Address Controller" Address Files (from one of
our other address programs) may request a support program called "AC-
CNVT.EXE". This program will convert the "Address Controller" data files to
"K.N.A.P." address files.
As this support program is ONLY useful to those who have large Address
Controller files, it is NOT routinely shipped. But it will be shipped with
Registered Versions of K.N.A.P. when Registered Users request it.
HOW DO I REGISTER?
Print out the enclosed file named "REGISTER.DOC" with the following DOS
Command....
COPY REGISTER.DOC LPT1 <...hit 'Enter'>
When the printing is complete, you will have a "Form" to be filled in and
mailed along with your payment. The "Form" helps to insure that all of the
necessary information is included with your order. Please take the time to
fill it out completely. When you have completed the Registration Form, Mail
it to us with your Payment.
The program price is listed on the Registration Form. All prices are
subject to periodic change - call for a price update after December, 1992.
Make all checks payable to "R. KEBER JR.".
(Florida Residents, Add Sales Tax)
(All Prices & Features Are Subject To Change Without Notice)
Our normal method of shipping a pre-paid order is by regular 1st Class
Mail. In such a case there are NO SHIPPING CHARGES, and delivery time is
usually just a few days.

SETTING UP YOUR DRIVES
FLOPPY DISK DRIVES
If you only have floppy drives, start up your computer using your
normal BOOT UP disk. Once you get the screen prompt "A:>", place this
program into Drive A: and enter the following.....
KNAP <hit Enter>
.....and K.N.A.P. will load and run.
INSTALL.EXE
"INSTALL.EXE" is a program for "AC" Installation. It will present
you with a menu with selections for printing this instruction manual, or
for installing the Address Controller files on any of your Drives.
"INSTALL" will transfer the K.N.A.P. files from your default Drive &
Directory to another Drive and Sub-Directory called d:\KNAP. If such a
Sub-Directory already exists, you'll be given a "Quit or Continue" option.
It will also create a BATCH file called "KNAP.BAT" which will be placed
in the drive d:\ROOT directory. "KNAP.BAT" will allow Users who may not
know their way around a Hard Drive too well, to simply BOOT-UP and then
type "KNAP" to run this program.
To make things a bit easier for you, we have included a "sample" Address
data file called "SAMPLE.LST". This will save you the time of having to
enter your own data just to "try out" this program.
Feel free to play around with this sample file, and "get the hang" of how
the program works. That's the easiest and fastest way to learn how the
program works (most fun way too).
Run through all the different Menus and features, and try everything. Find
records, Add new records, Edit records and Delete records. Print Labels,
Lists, Directories and Rolodex Cards. Make sure that K.N.A.P. "works" with
all of your equipment. That's what "Shareware" is all about, "Try before
you buy".
The following page or so describes the methods used in K.N.A.P. to enter
your address information into the "Fields". The term "Field" is just
another word for a "blank space to be filled in with data".
( Example: NAME:____(field)_______ )
We suggest that you take the time to at least glance through this
information, as most of it has been put there to make life easier for you.
Some of it will describe "Short-Cut" methods of entering data, while some
of the others will answer some questions before you even think to ask them.
DATA ENTRY & CURSOR CONTROLS
FIELD EDITING -- CURSOR MOVEMENT
INSERT KEY: Toggles between "Insert" & "Overwrite" of characters.
Cursor changes shape for each mode.
DELETE KEY: Deletes character at cursor position.
BACKSPACE.: Deletes character to left of cursor position.
LEFT ARROW.: Move cursor left one space.
RIGHT ARROW: Move cursor right one space.
UP ARROW...: Jump to previous field.
DOWN ARROW.: Jump to next field.
CTRL LEFT..: Move cursor left one word.
CTRL RIGHT.: Move cursor right one word.
HOME KEY...: Move cursor to beginning of field.
END KEY....: Move cursor to end of field entry.
CTRL END...: Delete field entry from cursor position to end.
PAGE UP....: Jump to top field.
PAGE DOWN..: Jump to bottom field.
F-1 KEY....: Exit "Current Routine" and return to the previous menu.
F-2 KEY....: Varied purposes. Watch Bottom Center of Display Screens.
F-10 KEY...: Exit from the "K.N.A.P." program.
YES/NO QUESTIONS:
In the majority of cases, when K.N.A.P. asks a question to be answered by a
"Y" or "N", hitting the "Enter" key is the same as entering a "Y" (for
Yes). But there are a few places where the reverse is true (Enter = "N"),
and still a few other places where you MUST hit a "Y" or "N", and the
"Enter" key won't be accepted. It sounds confusing, but (believe it or not)
it works well and makes good sense in practice. But if in doubt, just hit
the "Y or N" keys.
SELECTING OR CREATING AN ADDRESS FILE
---------------------------------------
The 2nd screen to appear is the "Choose a File" screen. There are
several methods for choosing or creating an Address File (sometimes called
a "Work File").
TO USE THE DEFAULT FILE
If you just hit the "ENTER" key, a "Default File" called "ADDRESS.LST"
will be selected or created. The term "Default" simply means "What the
computer will do or use, unless "you" take steps to specify something
else".
TO SELECT AN EXISTING FILE
If you wish to use a "Work File" that already exists (in your default
drive and directory), just hit the "F2" function key. When "F2" is pressed,
a "Window" appears on the screen which contains a sorted list of all the
available address files.
To choose one of the files in the window, use your Up/Down Arrow keys
to move the highlighted "bar" to the file which you want to use, and then
hit your "Enter" key to select that file. To exit from the window without
choosing a file, press the "Escape" Key.
TO CREATE A NEW FILE
You may also create a NEW file, or edit any existing address file (with
any name, up to eight characters in length) by simply entering the file's
name in the space provided on the screen. Any file name which you type in
will have an extension name of ".LST" automatically appended to it to
designate it as an Address List file.
You may also specify to use or create a file on a different disk drive
or directory by simply adding that information to the beginning of the file
name. (eg: "C:\LETTERS\LISTS\MYLIST.LST")
The next screen that appears is simply to insure that you entered the
correct file name on the previous screen, and to avoid creating files on
the disks with names entered in error. If the file name is correct, then
just hit "Y" (for Yes), or just hit "ENTER" which always (usually) means
the same as "YES".
If the name is not correct, then just enter "N" (for NO). The previous
screen will reappear, allowing you to enter the file name once again.
Once you get past the third screen, the MAIN MENU screen will appear.
On the menu you will see listed all of the various choices at your
disposal.
If you choose to create a brand new file, at this point your new
address file is empty because you haven't entered any addresses yet. As a
result, if you try most of the menu selections, you will only get a
message saying that your work file is empty. But after you have entered
a few addresses, all of the menu choices will work just fine.
ADDRESS DATA ENTRY SCREEN
The address entry screen consists of nineteen separate categories, or
fields, into which you may type your address information.
ID NUMBER FIELD
When you begin to add a new address, you will notice that the first
field (ID number) is already filled in for you with a number. Each new
address you enter will automatically be given a unique ID number.
The ID number is called a "KEY", and it can be used as the fastest way
to display, edit, delete or print any particular address. In such cases,
you just enter the proper ID number, and the address that was assigned that
number will be quickly found and put on the screen.
The ID number is assigned in rotation on a first come, first served
basis, and it is incremented by one digit with each new address entered.
K.N.A.P. has a routine (Long Address Directory) for printing a list of
all the the ID numbers for each address record.
BUSINESS OR LAST NAME FIELD
This field on the address form is for entering a company's full name,
and this is why we have allowed 30 spaces in this field. Many firms or
government agencies have very long names.
However, in the case of entering a person's name, just enter their LAST
name and any extension in this blank. The individual's first name and
middle initial can be entered into another field on the form, which is
reserved for first names.
We should caution you about one thing, while on the subject of the NAME
fields. The Last/Company Name field has 30 spaces, the First Name field has
20. If you fill up both fields with characters, the total combined length
of the name will be 50 characters.
While all those characters will be saved on the disk, and displayed on
the screen, only the first 30 will appear on any printouts (for reasons of
spacing on labels or paper). Because of this, it's best to keep your "FIRST
NAME" entries as reasonably short as possible.
ATTENTION FIELD
This field can be used for "ATTENTION OF" information, or for the 1st
line of a two line street address.
The U.S. Post Office recommends that "Attention Of" information be
placed as the "1st" line in an address. Because of this, all earlier
versions of K.N.A.P. would place this field "First" on a printed label.
But we have received so many complaints about this, that beginning with
version 1.4, this field will be printed as the 2nd line on a label. If
you wish to conform to the Postal Suggestion, then you can still do so.
Just enter your addresses with your "Attn Of" data in the "Last Name"
field, and enter the company name in the "Attn:" field. But bear in mind
that your address files are sorted by the entries made in the "Last Name"
fields.
If the "ATTN" field is left "BLANK", then the address will be printed
in only three lines instead of four. But there won't be a blank space where
"ATTN" would normally fit. All information printed below "ATTN" will move
up a line to fill the empty space.
Sometimes lengthy addresses require abbreviation. Sensible abbreviation
usually creates no problem for the Post Office as long as your Zip Codes
are correct. To make this a little easier, when you are "Adding or Editing"
an address, if you press the "F5" Function Key, a "Pop-Up Screen"
containing the more common postal abbreviations will appear.
Note: The Post Office can usually use "optical scanners" to read your
addresses and automate the delivery of your mail if you use a "plain" type
style (no seriffs, proportional spacing, or anything fancy). They also
recommended that ALL "Capital Letters" be used, and that you keep your
printer ribbon new and dark. Use a nine digit Zip whenever possible. These
are just some of the tricks that "you" can use to help to speed up the
delivery of your own mail.
THE "TELEPHONE NUMBER" FIELDS
The Telephone Number fields have a special feature in that the entries may
be made as "123-4567" or as "1234567".
TELEPHONE EXT FIELDS
The two "Extension" fields can be used for telephone extension numbers.
But, if you don't need to use telephone extension numbers, these fields can
also be used to designate the category of the associated telephone number.
In such cases, just make entries such as "Home", "Office", "Main", "SALES",
"SERVC", "FAX", "PURCH", etc..
COMMENT FIELD
The last field is the "COMMENT:" field. This can be used for such
things as stating, the specialty of a doctor, account numbers, the name of
your contact at this firm, names of spouses or children, birthdays, and so
on. It can be a very useful field.
THE PRINTING MENU
PRINTING TO A DISK FILE
Most of the Print Menu Selections have a special feature attached to
them which gives the option of sending the output intended for the printer
to a "Disk File" instead.
This feature can be a real time and money saver in several ways,
starting with the fact that it will only take a fraction of the normal
printing time to print a disk file.
The User can then use the DOS or MS-DOS file called "PRINT.COM" to
print the file "in the background". Printing the file in this manner will
free up the computer to do other tasks at the same time as the file is
being printed. In other words, YOUR COMPUTER CAN DO TWO THINGS AT ONCE. You
don't have to sit around, idly waiting until the printing is finished. See
your DOS or MS-DOS manual for instructions on how to use "PRINT.COM".
But even if you don't have "PRINT.COM", you (or anyone else) can still
print these files with the command "COPY PHONE.PRN LPT1:". Using this
method won't print "in the background" like PRINT.COM does. But it does
allow "anyone" with a computer to print the file without any need for the
K.N.A.P. program to be present.
Another benefit is that you can run these printing routines on a
computer with NO PRINTER, and then send a disk containing the output files
to another computer (with a printer) for printing at a later time.
Or, in the case of one printer being shared between several computers,
it is usually faster to send the printer a disk file to be added to the
"PRINT QUEUE" than to sit around idly waiting for "your turn up at bat".
Another benefit! You can send the print files by telephone modem to
other Users, or mail them a floppy disk instead of many heavy pages of
printed material, saving postage, paper and printing time. They can then
print the file themselves, using the commands we explained above.
And finally, you can sell or share the address lists created by
K.N.A.P. with other computer Users without allowing them to have access to
your registered copy of this program.
This is very useful for use in Clubs or Churchs, where extra copies of
address and phone lists (or sets of mailing labels, Rolodex, etc.) are
always in demand. In such cases, "You" can keep the master ".LST" list with
K.N.A.P. for editing/updating, and give the ".PRN" file to others. They can
then print as many copies of the list as they need without having access to
"K.N.A.P." or your master files.
PRINTING OF MAILING LABELS
The size of the labels that you use is very important. This program was
designed for use with 2 1/2 inch by 15/16 inch labels. We chose this size
of label for our program because (in a 3 across format) they will fit in
most of the smaller 80 column printers. If you use this size of label (and
position them in your printer properly) you should have no problems.
However, (while not recommended) it is possible to use a variety of
label lengths when using the one across or two across type of labels. But
the user is strictly limited to 15/16 of an inch in depth to maintain
proper line spacing. But, we suggest that you use the proper size labels
for the best overall performance.
You will be asked if you wish to print "ALL" of the address in the
current workfile. If you answer "Y", you will proceed directly to the
printing part of the program, and a label will be printed for "every"
address record in the file.
Answering "NO" will allow you to choose to print groups of labels from
whatever category you want. Example: Only print labels for records from one
"State", or one "City", or for one "Zip Code" (or any range of Zip Codes),
or for all "Names" starting with "A" (or A to F), and so on.
Before starting to print any of the address labels, the program will
ask if you want to print some TEST LABELS. The purpose of this is to help
you obtain proper label alignment in your printer.
You may keep printing TEST LABELS over and over, and adjusting your
printer and labels both left and right, and up and down, until the printing
on the labels is centered and acceptable to you.
PRINT INDEX & ROLODEX CARDS
This selection will print either Index or Rolodex cards. The cards must
be of the "continuous form" type (attached to each other like computer
paper) in a "one across" format. This program was written for specific
sizes of cards. The Rolodex card size should be 2 1/6 inches by 4 inches,
while the Index card size should be 3 X 5 inches. Use of any other sized
cards will cause printout problems.
Again, you will be presented with an opportunity to print TEST cards to
line up your printed output before the printing of the file begins.
IMPORTANCE OF MAKING BACKUP FILES
K.N.A.P. is a very complex program. It was written using a combination of
three different programming languages, and contains many very advanced
programming routines (Binary Indexed Trees, etc.).
As such, it performs very well, but it doesn't "take kindly" to being
mistreated by operators. The worst thing an operator can do to K.N.A.P.
is to take a "short-cut exit" from the program by simply turning off the
computer, or by doing a "Warm Boot".
During a proper exit (F-10 key) K.N.A.P. does quite a large number of tasks
related to closing all files properly, restoring the RAM memory to normal,
and in general, just tidying up after itself. To intentionally and
repeatedly "bypass" those tasks is risking serious damage (or even a
complete loss) of the data files.
While we have done every thing we could think of to minimize data loss, on
occasion it can still happen. This same problem can occur with most
programs that access files, and it's not really a problem that's unique
"only" to K.N.A.P.. But because K.N.A.P. accesses "Many Files", and those
files all "Interact" with each other, we prefer to stress the importance of
proper "Exits" and NOT taking "Short Cuts".
Because of this possibility of Data loss, we can't stress strongly enough
the importance of keeping "Backup" copies of your data files.
By "Backup" files we don't mean just the backup files that K.N.A.P. gives
you the option of creating upon an exit (*.BAK). While those files are
usually fine as "Backups", it is very easy to overwrite THEM with a bad
file, leaving you with nothing but corrupted files on your disk. By "Backup
Files" we mean other insurance backup copies of your address files kept on
separate disks for safe keeping.
Making (or retrieving) "Insurance Backups" is easily accomplished by
running "KNAPTOOL.EXE" and selecting Main Menu Choice "B" (for Backups).
Another method of doing this is to use the "COPY FILE" routine in the
"UTILITY" section of the program.
When you decide to make "Backup" copies of your records, you really only
NEED to make copies of any Address Data file ("*.LST"), assuming that you
are already using a backup of K.N.A.P. and it's related files.
All other files (*.NAM, *.NUM, *.PRN) can be automatically recreated as
needed. But the "LST" files are irreplacable without backup copies.
TROUBLES & PROBLEMS - K.N.A.P. ERROR SCREEN
If K.N.A.P. has been running without problems for an indefinite period of
time, and it suddenly starts to display an "Error Screen" every time you
choose a particular address file, then you probably have a corrupted
address file.
If you have a recently created, up to date, backup file (*.BAK) on your
drive (usually created upon exit from KNAP), then select the "UseBackUps"
choice shown on the "Error Screen". This will "Copy" the default "BAK" file
to your default address file, and will probably (hopefully) eliminate your
problem.
But if you don't have a CURRENT "*.BAK" backup file available, then you can
try to "Repair" your corrupted file by using "KNAPTOOL.EXE".
Run KNAPTOOL.EXE. Then select "FILE MAINTENANCE" from the main menu, and
run that routine on the problem address file. File Maintenance will remove
records marked as Deleted from the address file. At the same time it will
check for bad, duplicate or corrupt records, and it will eliminate them
too. Many times this routine will "Repair or Fix" a corrupted Data file
with only minimal data loss.
If the repair doesn't work, then the file is too badly corrupted and all
records contained in it have been lost (unless you have taken our advice
and have made an "Insurance Backup" copy). If you DO have an "Insurance
Backup", now's the time to use it. (Please make "Insurance Backup Copies"
often. It's really in "Your-own" best interest).
OTHER REASONS FOR PROBLEMS:
- Make sure that the version of DOS or MS/DOS you are using is version
3.0 or higher. Older versions won't work properly.
- Your Printer is "NOT" ready for action, or may be incompatible, or is
NOT plugged into Port #1. Many times this problem will simply "Hang
Up" your computer UNTIL the printer "IS" ready for action.
- Not enough free disk space left.
- Not enough free RAM memory available. Remove all other Memory
Resident programs from memory BEFORE running "K.N.A.P.".

Software Sales Tracker - PATCH ("SSTPATCH"):
A seperate program (but part of.., and included with "SST") for easily
"Patching" a Customer's Name, Date Of Sale, and Registered Product
Serial Number into any of YOUR "EXE" programs. Includes an "Automatic
Bulk Disk Preparation" feature. When on "Full Automatic" SSTPATCH will
read data from your "SST" product files, patch your "EXE" files with
your customer information, and then print a mailing label and a disk
contents label. It then follows a list of commands which YOU provide
for final disk preparation (FORMAT, REDATE, ARC-IT, COPY, etc.). This
"automates" the task of sending out hundreds of disks to Customers and
Distributors. The only thing you need to do is keep blank disks in the
drives, stick on the labels, and mail the finished product. Both the
"SST" & "SSTPATCH" programs are part of the same software package, and
are shipped accordingly. By: BOB KEBER - Shareware - $42
"POP-LABEL" ("PL"):
A small, fast, "Pop-Up-Window" that will allow you to quickly type up
and print a "Label" (or multiple copies of a Label) for most any
purpose (contents labels, address labels, report cover labels, etc.).
Each Label can hold up to five lines (32 characters per line) of data.
Printed output is straight ASCII Text (Plain Vanilla - without any
"Printer Escape Codes") and should work with most parallel printers.
This program can eliminate many of those label typing sessions still
done on your old typewriter. By BOB KEBER - Shareware - $18
