===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================

NameBase is a program that keeps track of names, addresses, phone
numbers, dates, notes and other miscellaneous data about persons and
organizations.  A unique feature allows you to organize entries into any
category you wish, then view these categories separately or combined.

You can assign a person to any number of categories, yet enter their data
only once.

NameBase lets you specify any criteria to further limit the records
displayed. You can then view, edit, or print just the records you
selected.  You can also search for any string of characters in all
records.

NameBase lets you sort on any field.  You can edit a record in a
spreadsheet-like grid or on a separate edit screen.  Many fields have
user-customizable screen labels.

Various printed reports are included.  There are address books in
different sizes, from full-size to pocket-size.  You can specify the
type of print and starting position for mailing labels and envelopes.

NameBase uses a Microsoft Access database (Access is NOT required), so
it is easy to access your NameBase data using many other products
such as Word, Excel, and Access.  You can even write your own reports
using Access.  Mail merge is a snap using most any word processor.

===== Installation =====================================

If the NameBase for Windows files are compressed into a single file
such as NAME202.ZIP, you must first uncompress that file into a single
directory on your hard disk, using the PKUNZIP program, the WINZIP
program, or some other program that can "un-zip" files.
After uncompressing follow the directions below.

To install the NameBase program, first start Microsoft Windows. Make
sure no other programs are started, such as virus-checking programs or
FAX programs.  Other programs can interfere with the installation.

From the Windows Program Manager, select the File menu.
If you have Windows 95, press the Start button instead.
Then choose RUN.

In the RUN box, type the drive and directory containing the uncompressed
("un-zipped") NameBase files, followed by \SETUP and then press Enter.
For example, if you unzipped the NAME202.ZIP file into a directory
named DOWNLOAD on your C drive, you would type:
C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP in the RUN box, and then press the Enter key.

The Setup program will then take over.  After it starts, it will ask you
where to install the program files.  The drive and directory are already
filled in with C:\NAMEWIN.  This is usually where you want to install the
files, so just press Enter and the installation will continue.  The
installation program will copy the files to their proper places and
create a NameBase for Windows program group and icons in Windows for you.

After installation, you should click on the NameBase Help icon and read
each of the topics listed in the Help file.

If you want to make "normal" installation diskettes which simply
require the user to run the setup program without unzipping the file
first, you will need two diskettes.  Unzip the NAME202.ZIP file to a
hard disk, then copy all un-zipped files except NAMEBASE.HL_ to the
first diskette.  Copy file NAMEBASE.HL_ to the second diskette.  The
setup program will prompt the user to insert Disk 2 when required.

It is possible to install NameBase without using the setup program,
although you would not want to unless you encounter some problem with
the installation.  If you do encounter some problem installing
NameBase, MAKE SURE NO OTHER PROGRAMS ARE RUNNING WHEN YOU INSTALL
NAMEBASE.  You may even want to end Windows, then restart it, then
close any programs that Windows may automatically run upon start-up.
Other programs running is the most common cause of installation problems.

To install NameBase manually (as a last resort), all of the files on the
diskette which have names ending with ".DL_" and ".VB_" and ".38_" need
to be expanded into your \Windows\System directory. You also need to
create a directory named "NAMEWIN" and expand the other files from
the diskette to this directory.  You need to install every file that
ends with an underscore character (_).  To install these files, you need
to use the EXPAND.EXE program which comes with Microsoft Windows.
The syntax for running this program is:
  EXPAND sourcefilename destinationfilename
Replace "sourcefilename" with the drive and file name of the file on the
diskette, such as A:VBRUN300.DL_ and replace "destinationfilename" with
the drive, directory, and file name of the expanded file, which in this
example is C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VBRUN300.DLL
The last 3 characters of all files that end with "DL_" become "DLL".
The last 3 characters of all files that end with "VB_" become "VBX".
The last 3 characters of all files that end with "EX_" become "EXE".
The last 3 characters of the file that ends with "HL_" become "HLP".
The last 3 characters of the file that ends with "38_" become "386".
The last 3 characters of the file that ends with "MD_" become "MDB".
Therefore, to install the VBRUN300 file, you type the following command:
  EXPAND A:VBRUN300.DL_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VBRUN300.DLL
To install the MSCOMM file, you must type the following command:
  EXPAND A:MSCOMM.VB_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSCOMM.VBX
To install the NameBase help file, you must type the following command:
  EXPAND A:\NAMEBASE.HL_ C:\NAMEWIN\NAMEBASE.HLP
This last command assumes you already created a directory called
NAMEWIN, because that is where the expanded file will be copied to by
the EXPAND program.  You do not need to install any files that do not
end with the underscore character.

If you STILL have problems trying to install NameBase, please send me a
note detailing the problem, preferably by e-mail.  Don't give up!
NameBase is worth it, and you will see how good my support is.
