Adr_Html 1.1 for WINDOWS ------------------------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS ----------------- 1. What is Adr_Html? 2. Quick Start 3. Installation 4. Files on the Disk 5. Why Register? 6. Disclaimer 1. What is Adr_Book? -------------------- Adr_Html is an address book program specifically designed to enhance personal communications on the Internet. The interface program is a graphical address book program which runs on Microsoft Windows and is compatible with Windows 95. Rather than producing labels and envelopes as a standard address book program does, Adr_Html produces customizable Html pages for each or your records. 2. Quick Start. --------------- If you are like me, then about five minutes is all you will give a program to see if it is useful. Follow this quick start and it should get you there in five minutes. There is a sample database file provided named DEMO.HDR. This file should automatically be loaded the first time you execute Adr_Html. Now do the following: a. Select from the FILE menu the 'Write Html Frame Col Style...' b. A dialog box will appear. There are options here for modifying your html pages. For now, ignore all options and simply click on 'Write Files...'. c. In the File write dialog double click on 'pages' to locate yourself in that directory. d. Click OK. You will get a help dialog that says that you need to open the file FRAMECOL.HTM with your browser. Your browser needs to be Netscape 2.0 or later. Click OK. e. Now fire up Netscape. f. From the File menu of Netscape select Open File.... g. Locate FRAMECOL.HTM which most likely will be found in c:\adhtml10\pages\framecol.htm And after doing this if things don't look nice to you, then I didn't do my job very well. One hint. You can put any email address and URL in the notes field and it will automatically become a clickable link. For the email to work properly you will need to have the Email preferences of Netscape configured. 3. INSTALLATION ---------------- To perform the installation insert the floppy in drive A or B and run INSTALL.EXE from Windows Program Manager. For Windows 95 run Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel. If all of the files are currently on your hard drive you can still install the program by running the INSTALL.EXE from Windows. This also works for Windows 95. 4. FILES ON THE DISK. --------------------------------------------- INSTALL EXE - Windows Install Program INSTALL INF - Windows Install Script file ADRHTML EXE - Adr_Html executable README TXT - This file DEMO HDR - Sample database file TUTOR WRI - Step by Step Manual IMPORT DMP - A sample import file HDRHELP HLP - Windows Help file 5. Why Register? ---------------- The shareware version of Adr_Html is limit to only 25 records in a single database file. The registered version removes this limitation. A registered version can hold 5000 records in an indiviual database file. You will be entitled to one year of free upgrades. You will feel better. (maybe) Actually, I really believe this is true. You can contact me for any support questions you might have. The best way is to send Email to the address given below. So how do you get version 1.1? Simple: METHOD 1: Send $23.00 plus $2.00 shipping and handling ($5 for international shipping and handling) along with name and mailing address to: Michael Gardner 1231 Redwood Ct. Anchorage AK 99508 METHOD 2: Email. This is my favorite method of registration. By this method I will simply email you the latest registered version. This has a couple of advantages. First there is no shipping and handling cost. The entire cost to you is $23. Second, I am assured that you have received the product. (I am always concerned about the postal mail. You send a check, I send a disk, I cash the check, you don't receive the disk. Yuck!) To initiate this method all you need to do is send me an Email message. mikeg@alaska.net You can also order using VISA and Mastercard. Just be sure to include the card number, the name as written on the card, and the expiration date. There is a registration form under the on line Help Menu. From Europe I am sorry to say I can not cash Eurocheques, as banks here want to charge me $35 for handling. I make every effort to get each orders shipped as quickly as possible. Oh! and I would like to hear any comments and suggestions that you might have. Thanks Michael Gardner mikeg@alaska.net http://www.alaska.net/~mikeg Phone (907) 278-1231 April 17, 1995 6.
