W. Johnson & Associates Information Manager (J.I.M.) 


Shareware - 30 day trial version.
Base purchase price: $39.99 


Information Manager is an address book, appointment calendar, note pad calendar, Internet 
browser and much more. Thirty two bit software designed to carry the Microsoft tm "Windows 95" 
label, Information Manager has been carefully crafted to be simple and flexible yet integrated and 
powerful. Flexible in that it is fully color and font configurable and resizes all dialog displays to fit the 
screen. A minimum screen resolution of 640 x 480 x 256 colors is supported but best results are realized 
at higher screen resolutions. Information Manager contains a system of unique user specified data 
filters that enable custom access to data entries. The Microsoft tm Internet Explorer web browser 
control is built right into the program for full featured Internet browsing and in many areas Information 
Manager is tightly coupled with the Internet. These are a few of the main features.

Information Manager is not trying to be all things to all people, just the basic things most people 
want in an information manager. Most importantly, Information Manager is a well designed secure 
system to manage your valuable data. Information Manager comes in various motifs. The current 
motif is a collection of Renoir paintings. It consists primarily of a collage of six graphics that are displayed 
on the main screen. These graphics can be viewed as full screen displays. Over time other motifs will 
also become available. Custom motifs using your graphics are also available. 


Q: How do I install Information Manager?

Information Manager comes with a built in installation program "setup.exe". If you receive Information 
Manager disks you will find it on disk one. We encourage you however, to download. Download all files 
into the same directory folder. Decompress the first file and execute "setup.exe". Carefully enter information 
as directed by the setup program. During installation the installation program will prompt you for a serial 
number. If you are a registered user enter your license number. If you are a trial user enter anything you 
want, your entry will be accepted. 

Installation is a two part process. Part one is running "setup.exe" which decompresses the archive and 
copies the files to your system. A directory folder is also created called "Information Manager". Part two
begins when you run Information Manager for the first time. Program registry entries are created,
the latest Microsoft Data Access Pack is installed, the data source is configured and the calendar control 
is registered. See the "Trouble Shooting" section for help solving installation problems.

The installation program will prompt you for a serial number. If you have purchased J.I.M. enter your
license number. If you are a trial user type in anything you want. Your entry will be accepted. Information 
Manager will install the latest Microsoft Data Access Pack the first time it is run. Unless you know for 
sure that you already have it installed choose "Yes" when asked if you want to install it. When offered the 
two drivers check boxes the top check box is required and either check it or hit the "Select All" button.

Information Manager comes with the Microsoft tm Internet Explorer built right into the program. 
It is fully integrated with and physically a part of Information Manager It is prerequisite that you have 
Microsoft tm Internet Explorer installed in your machine. If you do not, follow the link to download the 
latest version from Microsoft. If you do not have it installed Information Manager will still work but the 
browser feature may not function. The browser part of Information Manager relies on dynamic link 
libraries that are installed with Microsoft tm Internet Explorer.
