         DiskBase                                              Page 1


                                 INTRODUCTION
         
         
         This file provides on-line documentation for DiskBase as
         well as the Licensing Agreement.
         
         The purpose of DiskBase is to allow you to store and
         retrieve programs or data on whatever DOS recognizable
         storage device you have in the most simple and efficient
         manner possible. Many computer users will never have enough
         disk space to store all the files they need at the same
         time. This program makes it possible for you to store files
         used less often on floppy disks and to easily retrieve
         them. Also, many computer users have one drive that is much
         faster than the others (a ram drive which is faster than a
         hard drive or a hard drive which is faster than a floppy
         drive). This program allows you to store files on the
         slower drive, while the faster drive is used when actually
         running programs. This gives you the fastest possible
         program execution speed.
         
         DiskBase is currently distributed as Shareware. It is not
         free. Shareware is software that you can examine on a trial
         basis. If you decide to use DiskBase beyond the trial
         period, you are required to register as a user and send
         IntelliSys the registration fee. (See below for information
         about how to register your copy.) You are encouraged to
         pass a copy of DiskBase along to your friends for
         evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy as
         well if they find it useful.
         
         Just like commercial authors, shareware authors are
         accomplished programmers, and they write programs that are
         of comparable quality. Distributing software as shareware
         saves money for the software developer by allowing
         distribution through low-cost channels, while presenting
         you with a quality product at a savings. The Shareware
         concept can only work for the benefit of all computer users
         if the users of Shareware pay for its use. Please refer to
         the LICENSE AGREEMENT for terms for use of DiskBase.

                          SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
         
         
         READ THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT BEFORE USING DiskBase. THIS
         AGREEMENT IS A LEGAL CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU, THE USER OF
         DiskBase, AND INTELLISYS GOVERNING YOUR USE OF DiskBase.
         THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU
         AND INTELLISYS WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF DiskBase. USING
         DiskBase INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS
         AGREEMENT SHALL ALSO BE BINDING ON ANY SUBSEQUENT,
         AUTHORIZED LICENSEE. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO AGREE TO THE
         TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT USE DiskBase.
         
         
         License
         
         
         IntelliSys grants you a non-exclusive license to use the
         DiskBase software program and documentation as specified in
         this Agreement. You may use DiskBase for a reasonable
         period of time while you decide whether to become a
         registered user of DiskBase. After using DiskBase for a
         reasonable period of time, you may not use DiskBase without
         becoming a registered user.
         
         As a registered user, you may use DiskBase on a single
         computer or terminal at a time. In addition, you may make
         one backup copy of DiskBase.
         
         This Agreement specifically does not grant to you or anyone
         any rights to patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and
         trademarks. You acknowledge and agree that DiskBase is
         owned by IntelliSys and is protected by United States
         copyright law and international treaty provisions. You
         agree to safeguard DiskBase as copyrighted material. You
         acknowledge that the structure and organization of DiskBase
         are the valuable trade secrets of IntelliSys. You agree to
         hold such trade secrets in confidence.
         
         You may not distribute DiskBase for any kind of
         remuneration without prior authorization from IntelliSys.
         You may not distribute DiskBase as part of any other
         software or hardware package. However, IntelliSys
         encourages you to distribute copies of DiskBase, without
         charging for the copies, so that others may decide whether
         to become registered users. In addition, as a registered
         user, you may transfer your rights under this Agreement on
         a permanent basis provided you transfer your registered
         copy of DiskBase and any backup copy and provided the
         recipient agrees to the terms of this Agreement. Such a
         permanent transfer ends your license to use DiskBase. You
         may not transfer obsolete versions of DiskBase. Other than


         DiskBase                                              Page 4


         as provided in this paragraph, you may not loan,
         sublicense, rent, lease, sublease, or otherwise transfer
         any right to use DiskBase.
         
         You may not make copies of DiskBase, or any portion of it,
         except as expressly provided in this Agreement. You may not
         reproduce, transmit, transcribe, store in a retrieval
         system, or translate into any language DiskBase or any part
         of it. You may not disassemble, decompile, reverse
         engineer, or create derivative works based on DiskBase or
         any portion of it.
         
         
         Limited Warranty and Limitation of Remedies
         
         
         IntelliSys warrants that the diskette containing a
         registered copy of DiskBase and the accompanying
         documentation shall be free from defects in materials and
         workmanship under normal use for a period of thirty days
         from the date the diskette is sent to you. To exercise your
         rights under this warranty, you must return the defective
         product to IntelliSys at your expense within the warranty
         period. IntelliSys will then replace the product or return
         your purchase price, at its option. IntelliSys's entire
         liability and your exclusive remedy and sole measure of
         recoverable damages under this Agreement shall be, at
         IntelliSys's option, (1) return of the purchase price paid,
         or (2) replacement of the defective product. In the event
         of replacement of a diskette, IntelliSys shall warrant the
         replacement for the remainder of the original thirty days
         or for fourteen days, whichever is longer.
         
         DiskBase IS PROVIDED "AS IS" EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH
         IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH. THE WARRANTY IN THE PRECEDING
         PARAGRAPH IS THE ONLY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS
         OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING DiskBase, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
         TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
         FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NEITHER INTELLISYS NOR ANYONE WHO
         HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CREATION, PRODUCTION, OR DELIVERY
         OF DiskBase SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS
         OR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR
         SPECIAL DAMAGES OR COSTS (INCLUDING LEGAL EXPENSES OR LOSS
         OF GOODWILL) ARISING OUT OF USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO
         USE, DiskBase EVEN IF INTELLISYS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
         POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOST PROFITS, DAMAGES, OR COSTS.

         General
         
         
         If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void,
         or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall
         be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not
         affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining
         provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be
         governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any
         civil action or other proceeding that may be brought
         concerning DiskBase or this Agreement shall be brought only
         in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction
         located within the city of Roanoke, Virginia. If any civil
         action or other proceeding is brought in any other forum,
         ones bringing the action or joining the action shall be
         liable, jointly and severally, to IntelliSys, its
         employees, and agents for any costs whatever associated
         with defending the action or other proceeding, including
         attorney fees and consequential costs such as travel
         expenses and lost wages.
         
         IntelliSys reserves the right, at it's sole discretion, to
         change, modify, or update DiskBase at any time without
         notifying anyone. IntelliSys reserves the right to offer
         updates to DiskBase either free of charge or for an
         additional charge.

                                 INSTALLATION
         
         
                 1)      As with any new software program, it is
                         good common sense to backup your drive
                         before installing it.
         
                 2)      Be sure your archive program (PKZIP, or
                         ARJ, etc.) is in your PATH. (Refer to your
                         DOS manual for more information about your
                         PATH.)
         
                 3)      Create a directory for DiskBase and copy
                         all of its files to it. (OPTIONAL: DiskBase
                         will find all of its files in this
                         directory is added to your PATH statement.)
         
                 4)      Create a file called GO.CFG in each
                         directory that you want to be able to
                         archive that contains the following lines:
         
                                 NAME =
                                 DESCR =
                                 SPACE =
         
                         GO.CFG is optional as are each of the
                         configuration entries in it. After "NAME ="
                         put a brief menu label. After "DESCR =" put
                         a description of the directory. And after
                         "SPACE =" put a numerical estimate of the
                         minimal amount of disk space needed by this
                         application, or needed to restore this
                         directory and all the directories below it.
                         The estimate of space is used later by
                         DiskBase to determine if enough disk space
                         is available to restore the directory.
         
                         If you are using our companion program
                         MENU, and this is a directory for a
                         program, create a file called GO.BAT that
                         starts your program.
         
                 5)      Start DiskBase, by entering
         
                                 DISKBASE 
         
                         at the DOS prompt. 
         
                 6)      Select OPTIONS from the main menu to insure 
                         that DiskBase is configured properly. (See 
                         the section below on OPTIONS for more 
                         information about each item.) The default 


         DiskBase                                              Page 7


                         archive program options tells the archive 
                         program to create an archive that contains 
                         all the files in the specified path and in 
                         sub-directories below the specified path.  
                         The Un-archive command should recreate the 
                         directory structure in exactly the same 
                         fashion.  Don't change these commands 
                         unless you know EXACTLY how to call the 
                         archive program.  Please refer to the 
                         ARCHIVE PROGRAM OPTION for a further 
                         discussion of specific commands.
         
                 6)      Choose the "Archive" main menu item and
                         select the directory you wish to archive.
                         By selecting a directory, all files in that
                         directory and all directories below it are
                         compressed into a single archive file.
                         "Archive" will move the directory you
                         choose onto your archive (floppy) drive and
                         remove it from your application/data (hard)
                         drive. You have just created your first
                         archive!
         
                 7)      Once you have created an archive on your
                         storage drive, you can select the CATALOG
                         option from the main menu to view a tabular
                         list of your stored archives. While viewing
                         the list, you can re-install the archive,
                         view the archive, or remove old archives
                         from your collection.
         
                 That's all there is to it!  Now store your
                 collection of disks in a safe place - away from
                 strong magnetic sources, and wild animals. Use only
                 high quality disks for important archives or for
                 long-term storage.

         MAIN MENU
         
         
         The main menu of the program presents you with the
         following options:
         
                 CATALOG         This option allows you to view a
                                 listing of your stored archives in
                                 tabular format. You are able, when
                                 viewing the Catalog (or database),
                                 to 1) re-install an archive onto
                                 the application/data drive, 2)
                                 remove an archive from your
                                 collection of disks, and 3) view
                                 the contents of the archive.
         
                                 Eventually you will have duplicates
                                 of your archives as you install and
                                 remove them from the
                                 application/data drive. This is
                                 good. The best protection we have
                                 in the computer world against
                                 disaster is redundancy. Having a
                                 backup copy of your data WILL be
                                 useful. Having too many old copies
                                 just takes up space. The number of
                                 old copies you want to keep is a
                                 relative decision and up to you.
                                 From time to time, just remove the
                                 oldest duplicates from your
                                 collection of disks by moving to
                                 the archive in the database and
                                 pressing the DEL key.
         
                 ARCHIVE         This option allows you to view all
                                 the directories on the
                                 data/application drive and select
                                 one that needs to be archived and
                                 moved to your collection of disks.
                                 The first time the program is run,
                                 a catalog will be created to hold
                                 your list of archives. In short,
                                 ARCHIVE will call your archive
                                 program to create an archive on a
                                 storage disk, add information about
                                 the disk to the database, and
                                 remove the old directory and its
                                 subdirectories from the
                                 application/data drive. An archive


         DiskBase                                              Page 9


                                 is created based on the first eight
                                 (8) characters of the directory
                                 name. After the archive has been
                                 created, it is stored on a disk and
                                 your collection that has just
                                 enough space for the new archive,
                                 or it is stored on a new diskette.
                                 New disks are automatically
                                 labelled to the next available
                                 number in your collection.
         
                 UPDATE          Should you ever have to modify a
                                 disk in your collection from
                                 outside of this program, this
                                 option allows the program to have
                                 up to date information about that
                                 disk. You should never really have
                                 to use this option. If a disk in
                                 your collection is changed outside
                                 of this program (- you add or
                                 remove files from a collection
                                 disk), DiskBase needs to be
                                 informed of the change. So, if you
                                 are not familiar with archiving
                                 software, you should always let
                                 this program create the archives.
                                 Archives are created in such a
                                 manner that allows for
                                 subdirectories to be restored from
                                 the root directory. This program
                                 creates archives and moves them off
                                 onto disk and updates the catalog
                                 without your intervention. If you
                                 happen to have archives that are
                                 created in the proper format (-
                                 they will recreate subdirectories
                                 starting with one named the same as
                                 the archive), the update option
                                 will add those disks to the
                                 database. However, in this
                                 scenario, information contained in
                                 configuration files (GO.CFG) in
                                 each of the archived directories is
                                 not available to this program.
                                 Specifically, the database contains
                                 information about how much space is
                                 needed to restore the
                                 application/data directory, and a
                                 one line description of the
                                 directory.

                                         directories are stored.
                                         For example, this may be

                 ARCHIVE DRIVE           This is the drive where
                                         archives are stored. For
                                         example, this may be your
                                         diskette drive. This option
                                         defaults to A:.
         
                 CATALOG NAME            This is the name of the
                                         database used to record
                                         information about your
                                         archives. This is a five
                                         character name and should
                                         reflect some logical
                                         collection of data - like
                                         APPS, DATA, or PICS, ....
                                         This allows you to store
                                         many different collections
                                         of archives. This option
                                         defaults to DB.
         
                                         All disks added to your
                                         collection will be labeled
                                         using the Catalog Name and
                                         an ordinal number. To
                                         prevent disks from getting
                                         mixed in with the wrong
                                         collection, DiskBase will
                                         not allow you to add a disk
                                         to the specified from a

         DiskBase                                              Page 13


                                         for the archive program to
                                         create the archive directly
                                         on the storage disks, and
                                         then DiskBase will ask you
                                         to let it update its
                                         catalog by inserting each
                                         modified disk. DiskBase
                                         only finds out what changes
                                         were made to collection
                                         disks by your letting it
                                         re-read each modified disk.
                                         If the archive program
                                         can't create archives
                                         across multiple disks then
                                         the process is for the
                                         archive program to create
                                         the archive in the TEMP
                                         directory, and then move it
                                         to the storage disk.
         
                 TEMPORARY DIRECTORY     Place used for temporary
                                         storage. This value can be
                                         passed to the un/archive
                                         program through the %t
                                         token - see above.
         
         
         UPDATING MULTIPLE DISK ARCHIVES
         
         
         When an archive is created that spans more than a single
         disk, DiskBase will ask you to insert each modified disk
         and it will re-read the disk and update the databases with
         information about the archives on that disk. Since DiskBase
         calls an external archive program, it has no way of knowing
         which storage disks the external program has changed. If
         the archive program can create archives that span multiple
         disks, DiskBase must give you the opportunity to update
         your catalog with information about the modified disks.
         The following are the options with which you will be
         presented:
         
                         READ    You have another disk that was
                                 modified when the archive program
                                 created its archive. Put the next
                                 disk in the drive and choose this
                                 option until all modified disks
                                 have been read.
         
                         STOP    You have no more modified disk that
                                 need to be added to the catalog and
                                 you're ready to continue on and let


         DiskBase                                              Page 14


                                 the program complete this
                                 operation.
         
                         ABORT   Something went wrong - creating the
                                 archive failed.
         
         
                          DISKBASE CONFIGURATION FILE
         
         
         If a file called DISKBASE.CFG is located in the default
         directory when DiskBase is started, the configuration
         information within it is used. Then, if a configuration
         file is found in the directory where the program executable
         file resides, then it is used. Otherwise, if no
         configuration file is found, the default configuration
         options are used.
         
         
                               SCREEN INDICATORS
         
         
         During data entry operation, screen indicators I, N, and C,
         at the top right of your screen, indicate the status of the
         Insert/Overstrike, NumLock, and CapsLock toggles.
         
         
         WHICH ARCHIVE PROGRAM TO USE
         
         
         IntelliSys does not endorse any particular program for use
         with its products. ARJ, version 2.3, written by Robert K.
         Jung, has the capability to perform the functions needed by
         DiskBase - in particular it creates archives that span
         multiple disks. PKZIP, written by PKWare, Inc., is another
         good program, but version 1.1 does not have the ability to
         create archives that span multiple disks. Other archive
         programs may be suitable. These programs are widely
         available on Bulletin Board Systems and through other
         sources. Please contact IntelliSys if you need more
         information on how to obtain a copy of these programs if
         one is not available to you.
         
         
                                     HINTS
         
         
         *       When creating an archive that you think may span
                 multiple disks, have a stack of BLANK diskettes
                 ready. If you create such an archive that spans
                 multiple diskettes and use consecutively numbered
                 diskettes, it is easier to re-install the archive


         DiskBase                                              Page 15


                 later. For example, if the un-archive program asks
                 you for "the next disk" and you created the archive
                 on a random diskette from your collection with
                 space available, the archive program does not know
                 which disk you used to store the next portion of
                 the archive. At this point you would have to insert
                 every disk in your collection until you found the
                 disk the archive program needed next.
         
                 DiskBase will tell you the number to write on the
                 outside of a new diskette, and it will label the
                 diskette using your database name + its ordinal
                 number. But the archive program that you use does
                 not (usually) know the diskette that you use to
                 create subsequent portions of a multiple-disk
                 archive.  So if you use blank diskettes, you always
                 know which diskette comes next when you re-install
                 your archive.
         
         *       !USE! DOS's ability to help you create distinct
                 logical categories of files by creating separate
                 directories and sub-directories. Put programs that
                 you may want to archive in separate directories
                 under the root directory. Put data files in
                 separate directories under the root. (If you
                 separate your data from your program files you will
                 find it easier to backup files that have recently
                 changed and are most critical to your work.)
         
         *       (For Register Users of DiskBase) use our Menu
                 program to provide access to the programs that are
                 dynamically installed on the Data/Application
                 Drive. It can re-scan for a current list of the
                 GO.BAT files that exist on that drive.
         
                 Also, use the GO.CFG file in each directory you
                 wish to archive (described in this document) to
                 associate a description with the directory. When
                 you see various archives in your catalog that have
                 the same name, the description you gave each
                 archive will help you make sense of them all.
         
         *       If you understand how to use the archive program
                 and you understand how the tokens are used under
                 DiskBase's Option menu, use the Temp. Directory
                 entry and Token (%t) to create the archive on the
                 fastest drive you have. The Temp. drive should be
                 larger than your archive storage drive.
