Installation

Need uses the CTL3D.DLL library to give 3D look and feel to its controls.  CTL3D.DLL is a Microsoft supplement to Windows which many programs use.  Chances are you already have this file in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, however, if you don't, you should copy this file to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to get the 3D look for Need.  If you already have CTL3D.DLL installed, you might want to check to see if the one included with Need is newer than the version you already have, if so, make a backup of the version installed, and copy the CTL3D.DLL that came with Need to the appropriate directory.

Other than that, Need can be run from anywhere.  Just make sure NEED.HLP file is in the same directory as NEED.EXE.

To put Need in Program Manager, first make a program group for Need (FILE/NEW).  Then drag NEED.EXE from File Manager and drop it in the newly created group inside of Program Manager.  From Program Manager, you can edit the properties of Need (click on the icon, then FILE/PROPERTIES) and put the path, and name of your usual data file in the command line field.


Future of Need

We are committed to making Need competitive in the shareware Personal Information Manager  (PIM) category of software.  We realize that Need V1.0 Beta lacks some key features that are essential to any PIM application, therefore we have listed some of the features we are planning to add to Need in the near future.  The reason Need V1.0 Beta lacks these features is due to time constraints.  We wanted to put out a version of Need now in order to get user input, and to be in touch with the user's requirements, in order to design and implement these features in a way that's easy and intuitive.

You may have noticed that some of the menu options are disabled.  This is because the code for these features have not been completed, however, Need V1.0 Release will have those menu options enabled.

Need V1.0 Planned Enhancements:

- Full support for printing

- Purging capability

- More flexibility (Moving Scheduled Events, To Do tasks, etc.)

- Advanced Search for the Database (Searching by Fields)

- Dialing capability for the Database

- Increased context sensitivity for the help file

- Bug fixes, and/or fine tuning

Overview
Database

The Database is initially configured to resemble a phonebook.  It allows for entries to be categorized and for detailed information to be given about each entry (two phone numbers, address, e-mail address, birthday, as well as comments).  Each heading is configurable allowing the user to change its function from a phonebook to virtually anything.
