VERSION 3.3 of NAMEBASE from Michael Paulick Copyright 1991-96, M.J.Paulick INTRODUCTION: Thanks for taking the time to evaluate the NAMEBASE Name/Address program! NAMEBASE keeps track of names, addresses, phone numbers, and notes about persons or companies. A unique feature lets you maintain many separate lists within the same file. Some users even create lists to keep track of things like credit cards or collections, although NAMEBASE was really designed as an address book program. NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS is now available, and you can receive a fully registered version of this new program for FREE when you register the DOS version! Just ask for it when you register. You will NOT have to re-enter your data to use the Windows version. The registered version of NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS includes a program which converts your NAMEBASE for DOS data to the new Windows version. For more information about NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS, see the description at the end of this file. That description also tells how you can save an additional dollar off the registration price. NAMEBASE allows you to quickly locate any name in your list by simply typing the first few letters of that name. You can print labels, a pocket-size address book, rotary index cards, and reports. NAMEBASE fully supports a mouse, and can dial the phone for you. NAMEBASE creates mail-merge files for use with most word processors. REGARDLESS of how you obtained this program, it is provided to you for a 30-day evaluation period only. If you continue to use NAMEBASE, you need to license this software directly with the author by sending $25.00 plus $4.00 shipping and handling to Michael Paulick. You will receive BOTH the DOS and Windows versions without the registration reminder, and a printed manual for the DOS version. The Windows version includes an on-line Help file with complete documentation. NAMEBASE is copyrighted, but you may distribute the program freely, as long as you make it clear that users are expected to pay the author for the program if they find it useful after a 30-day evaluation period. You must include all 3 files when you distribute it: NAME.EXE, NAME.DAT, and README.TXT. You may NOT alter any of these 3 files in any way, other than to compress these files, as long as they can be decompressed to their original state. Please send $25.00 + 4.00 shipping and handling to: Michael Paulick PO BOX 935 CONIFER, CO 80433 Product support will be provided by mail or via the Internet for a minimum of 90 days after purchase. You can contact me via E-mail on the Internet at 70640.1614@compuserve.com, or at the above address. I will rush the newest version to you, usually the next day. I sincerely appreciate your honesty, and I'll make you glad you did business with me. There is an option on the REPORTS MENU which will print an order form if you want to use it.

The parties hereby consent to jurisdiction of said courts. INSTALLING NAMEBASE: Simply copy all files from the NAMEBASE diskette to any directory on your hard disk, or insert the NAMEBASE diskette into your floppy drive if you don't have a hard disk. Then follow the instructions under the heading STARTING NAMEBASE. If you need more instruction than that, read below: To install NAMEBASE on your hard disk, you should first create a sub-directory. Refer to your DOS manual, or follow these directions: - Make sure you are at the DOS prompt (usually contains a > symbol). - Make sure that the default disk is the one you want to copy NAMEBASE onto. You can change the default disk by simply typing the name of this disk followed by a colon (:), such as C: - Make a new sub-directory on this disk using the DOS Make Directory command (MD), such as MD \NAME This will create a sub-directory called NAME on the default disk. - Change to this new directory using the DOS Change Directory command (CD), such as CD \NAME Copy all files from the NAMEBASE floppy disk to your hard disk using the DOS COPY command, such as COPY A:*.* C:\NAME That's all there is to it! STARTING NAMEBASE, AND USING COMMAND LINE OPTIONS: You start NAMEBASE simply by typing NAME at the DOS prompt. First make sure you are in the directory where the NAMEBASE files have been copied to. For example, if you copied the NAMEBASE files to a directory called NAME on your C drive, and NAME is not the current directory, you would issue the following DOS commands to start NAMEBASE: C: CD \NAME NAME Besides the NAME.EXE file, NAMEBASE needs a database file called NAME.DAT. NAME.DAT contains your lists of names and addresses, and the program will create this file if it finds that it does not exist. You can also have NAMEBASE use any other file name for your database by specifying that file name after the NAME command, such as: NAME MYFILE.DAT This allows you to use more than one database if you want. Certain monochrome monitors, such as those found on some laptops and other machines, emulate a color monitor. NAMEBASE automatically detects the type of monitor you are using and adjusts accordingly, but has no way of knowing that some machines that say they are color are not. If you have a monochrome monitor and have difficulty reading the screens, try starting NAMEBASE with the following command: NAME/B NAMEBASE is supplied to you with a NAME.DAT file, which already contains some names and addresses. To look at this file, start NAMEBASE with the following command: NAME When you want to start entering your own data, delete this sample file with the following command: DEL NAME.DAT Then start NAMEBASE as before, by typing the following command: NAME When you don't specify any file name after the NAME command, NAMEBASE looks for a file called NAME.DAT. If it does not find this file, it will create a new one for you without any records in it. THE FIRST SCREEN: The first screen you see after starting NAMEBASE is split into two halves. The upper half of the screen displays the lastname and firstname for 14 records at a time, with 1 of the records highlighted by the cursor bar. Pressing the arrow keys (also the Home, End, PageUp or PageDown keys) or clicking the left mouse button on any name moves this cursor bar. The lower half of the screen displays the detail information for the record that the cursor bar is on. To EDIT, ADD, or DELETE the displayed record, press one of the keys indicated in the boxes at the top of the screen, or click the left mouse button on one of those boxes. On the last line of the first screen, just to the left of the copyright notice, you will see a number. This number indicates how many records are in the currently active sub-file. THE MENU: You can display the menu from the first screen by pressing the F2 key, or by pressing Alt-M, or by clicking the right mouse button. Another right mouse button-click hides the menu again. You choose a menu option by highlighting the option you want (using the cursor keys) and pressing ENTER, or by typing the first letter of that option, or by clicking the left mouse button on any menu option. An alternate way to choose a menu option without displaying the menu first is to hold down the Alt key and press the first letter of that menu option. For example, pressing Alt-F displays the File Selection menu option. This only works if you have NOT pressed F2 to display the menu first. Pressing the ESC key or clicking the right mouse button will get rid of the menu if you do not want to make a choice. One option not on the menu is Alt-D, which takes you to DOS. You then type EXIT to return to NAMEBASE, exactly where you left off. This only works if the menu is NOT displayed, and only if you are on the first screen. ABOUT SUB-FILES: You can separate people in your name/address list into many logical sub-files within the same file. You can create up to 200 sub-files, each one containing completely separate data. You might have one which contains your personal friends, another for your clients, and a third one for businesses. Of course, you could leave everyone in the same sub-file if you like, which saves you from having to switch between sub-files. EACH sub-file can hold up to 3400 records. To create sub-files, first display the menu by pressing F2, then choose the "File Selection" option. This displays a list of all your sub-files. Highlight the first item in the list, "CREATE A NEW SUB-FILE" and press ENTER, or click the left mouse button twice very quickly on this item (called a "double-click") to display a box which asks you for the name you want to call this new sub-file. Type any name you want and press ENTER to display the previous screen. You will see the name of your new sub-file displayed in the list. That's all there is to it. Now you must choose the sub-file you want to make "active" by highlighting that sub-file name in the list and pressing ENTER, or double-clicking the left mouse button on that sub-file name. You always know which sub-file you have chosen, because its name is displayed on the top line of the main screen. If you use multiple sub-files to hold your data, take some time to plan how to best organize these sub-files. Although you can move records between sub-files and change sub-file names, it will save you work later if you get it right the first time. You cannot delete an entire sub-file once it is created. You can delete all records in the sub-file (one by one) and rename it to blank. The sub-file will still appear on the file selection menu with a name of "blank - not used?". You can reuse this sub-file for another purpose later, and change the name to something meaningful. Unused sub-files take up little space in your data file. CHANGING THE TITLE ON THE TOP OF THE FIRST SCREEN: NAMEBASE displays the name of the current sub-file on the top of the main screen. If this is the first time you are using a new file (which NAMEBASE created automatically for you,) you will see the heading "Subfile 1 (the default)" on the top line of the screen. You can change this title to anything you like (up to 25 characters) by pressing F2 to display the menu, then choosing the "File Selection" option. Simply highlight the line which says "Subfile 1 (the default)" and press the Insert key. Then change the name to "My friends" or whatever else you want for the title of this sub-file, and press ENTER. Then press ENTER again to select this subfile, and the title on the top of your screen will be changed. SELECTING A RECORD TO DISPLAY OR CHANGE: On the first screen, if you want to quickly locate a persons record in the list, simply type the first few letters of that persons name. Each time you press a letter, the person whose name most closely matches what you typed will be found. Pressing the backspace key will erase the last letter you typed and search for the closest match of the remaining letters. Note that the backspace key has a different function from the left-arrow key on this screen. If a match is not found, the cursor bar will move to the point in the list where this record would have been, and you will hear a beep. You can also use the 4 arrow keys, Page-up and Page-down, Home, or End keys, or the mouse to find a person in the list. Any time you press one of the arrow keys, the cursor bar will move in the direction of the arrow, and all letters that you typed in the search field will be cleared. You can also click the left mouse button on any of the 4 arrows displayed to the right of the list of names. Once you have located a person in the list, all the information about that person is displayed on the bottom half of the screen. If you want to change any of this data, simply press ENTER to go to the EDIT screen, or click the mouse on the ENTER-Edit box at the top of the screen, or click the mouse on the highlighted name. The first mouse click moves the cursor bar to a name. Once the cursor bar is already on a name, another mouse click on the same name takes you to the EDIT screen for that name. To add a new record, press the INSERT key or click the mouse on the INSERT box. To delete a person, press the DELETE key or click the DELETE box. A box will pop up asking you to verify the delete before proceeding. ADDING OR CHANGING YOUR DATA. THE EDIT SCREEN: The EDIT screen has various option boxes which indicate the key to press for that option, just like the first screen. You can also click the left mouse button on any of those boxes. Some fields on this screen (the Name, Address, and City fields) will automatically capitalize the first letter of each word as you type. Help on entering each field is available by pressing F1 or by clicking the HELP box while the cursor is on that field. You move between fields by pressing ENTER or TAB, or by clicking the left mouse button on any field. Shift-TAB (a backwards Tab) will move the cursor backwards through the fields on the screen. You can move directly to the last field on the screen (the Notes field) by pressing Cntl-End, or clicking the mouse anywhere in that field. Likewise, pressing Cntl-Home takes you to the first field on the screen (the First Name). The END key takes you to the end of the data in a field, and HOME to the start of the field. You should note that you can change the description for 3 fields on the screen. These fields are descriptions for the 3rd and 4th phone numbers and for the 2nd date field. Read the help messages for these fields for further details. After entering all your data, press F10 to save it to the file, or press ESC to abandon your changes. PRINTING ENVELOPES: While viewing a record on the EDIT screen, you can print an envelope by pressing the F5 key. The program then asks if you want to print the Home or Work address. You reply with either an H or W. To change the return address or to customize where the address prints on the envelope, press R to display the Envelope Setup screen. TRANSFERRING RECORDS BETWEEN SUB-FILES: You can copy or move a record from one sub-file to another. You must first display the record you want to copy or move on the Edit screen. You then press F3 for Transfer. This displays a list of all sub-files. Pick the sub-file you want and press M to move or C to copy the record to the selected sub-file. DIALING A PHONE NUMBER: To dial a phone number, you must first have a modem installed on your computer. You should then go to the Setup Options screen (on the menu) and make sure you select the correct COM port (COM1, 2, 3, or 4) that your modem is attached to. To dial a number, first display that person on the Edit screen. Once the Edit screen is displayed for that person, press F9. You then select one of the four possible phone numbers and press ENTER, or double-click on your selection. After the modem dials the number, pick up the phone, then press any key to disconnect the modem speaker. THE CODES FIELD: The next to last field on the Edit screen is for entering up to ten Codes. These Codes can mean whatever you like, and can be used to put people into certain categories. For example, Code letter "C" can mean that this person should be sent a Christmas card. Each Code letter will mean something entirely different, and you can have up to 10 different Codes for each person. Thus, if this person is also in your Ski Club, you can put "CS" in this field. You can then print reports based on these codes. You should be aware that capitalization is significant; thus the letters "C" and "c" are two different codes. This allows you to have twice as many unique codes. THE NOTES FIELD: The last field on the Edit screen is for any notes you want to include about this person. The maximum length of the notes field is about 10,000 characters. You can use the Up or Down arrow keys to scroll through your notes a line at a time, or click the scrolling arrows. Some other keys you can use when entering text in the NOTES field: - To move Down a Page, press Page Down, or click the down-arrow. - To move Up a Page, press Page Up, or click the up-arrow. - To move Down to the last line of your notes, press Ctrl-Page Down. - To move Up to the first line of your notes, press Ctrl-Page Up. - To move to the End of a line, press the END key. - To move to the Beginning of a line, press the HOME key. - To Delete the entire line that the cursor is on, press Ctrl-D. - To Add a new line, press Ctrl-A; this will insert the new line above the line that the cursor is on. - To move the cursor a word at a time to the left or right, press Ctrl-left arrow or Ctrl-right arrow. When you reach the end of a line, just keep typing; words will automatically wrap around to the next line. THE REPORTS: Before printing any reports, make sure you have chosen the correct printer using the SETUP OPTIONS menu option. If any reports have "garbage" characters on the first page, or the report does not fit on the page, you may have chosen the wrong printer setup option. If your printer is ready but you still get a message saying it is not, try going to the Setup screen and change the dialing prefix from ATDT to *ATDT. This signals NAMEBASE to not check if the printer is ready. If you choose printer setup option number 8, most reports will not fit on a standard 8-1/2 inch wide page. Most printers in the known world claim compatibility with either the Epson, IBM, or Hewlett Packard printers. Consult your printer manual for instructions on how to set up your printer to emulate one of the above printers, and then select the appropriate printer option. Another solution is to set your printer to compressed print before printing these reports. MAKE SURE YOUR PRINTER IS TURNED ON AND IN "READY" STATUS. After making sure your printer is ready, select the Reports option from the menu. Select the report you want from the list, and press ENTER, or double-click on the report you want. The next screen asks you to select specific records to print (press F10 to see the selection screen), or lets you specify any CODES to limit the records this report will print. To print all records, leave the CODES blank and press ENTER (or click the Enter box) to print the report. You can specify up to 10 Codes. Each code will further limit the records selected. For example, if you specify A and B, NAMEBASE will find any records containing both A and B anywhere in the Codes field of each record. If you use Codes longer than 1-character, you can search for those by placing an asterisk (*) in front of the Code. If you use an asterisk you can search for only one Code at a time. For example, if you use code XMAS to indicate people on your Christmas list, you would specify *XMAS to select only those records. If you did not put the * in front of XMAS, NAMEBASE would look for all records containing X, M, A, and S in any order in the Codes field, finding Code combinations such as SXRAM, etc. Sometimes this won't make any difference in the records it finds, but sometimes it will. If you do specify any Codes, after you press ENTER two choices will appear on the screen. You must choose one of these by highlighting a choice and pressing ENTER. The first choice will print all records which contain the CODES you indicated. The second choice prints all records which DO NOT contain the CODES you indicated. See the earlier discussion of the CODES field for more details. You can back up to change the CODES you indicated by pressing Shift-TAB. At any time, you can change your mind and not print the report by pressing ESC. You can also cancel a report while it is printing by pressing ESC as long as NAMEBASE is displaying the blinking PLEASE WAIT message. Be aware that many printers have buffers which accept the data before printing it, so cancelling a report will usually not stop the printing immediately. One of the reports (the Condensed Name/Address/Phone report) tries to put as much information as will fit on one line, so if you have some especially long names or addresses, these may be truncated. It was either that or limit the amount of data on this report. I think you'll agree with this decision, and find this to be a very useful report. Some reports print only one address (including the label reports). For these reports, the home address is printed unless it is blank, in which case the work address will be printed instead. THE POCKET-SIZE ADDRESS BOOK: This report prints four pages of name/address information on each side of each sheet of paper. It prints on both sides of the paper by printing half of the pages on one side, then asks you to turn the original paper over and prints the rest of the pages on the opposite side. You then cut (or tear) each sheet of paper in two (along the 8.5 inch width), and fold these half-sheets in half. When you assemble the resultant half-sheets by page number, all the pages are in the right place, and you can staple it in the middle. You can then trim it to 3.5 inches wide so that it slips into a shirt pocket. It sounds more complex than it is. You may have to adjust your pin-feed rollers to center the report on the page. Rather than attempt to describe all the reports here, it's a lot easier (and less confusing) to just print them and see what you've got! You can print a single record by first highlighting this record on the first screen and pressing Enter, which takes you to the Edit screen. Once you are at the Edit screen, press F6 to print all the data for that one record. You can also print an envelope from this screen by pressing F5. EXPORT TO FILE NAME.OUT or NAME.ZIP Two of the "reports" do not produce a report at all, but instead create a standard ASCII file. The NAME.OUT file contains all fields in the currently active sub-file. The NAME.ZIP file contains only the name/address fields, and is sorted by Zip Code. These files are deleted and recreated each time you run these exports. These two files are standard sequential ASCII files. Each field is surrounded by quotes, and each field is separated from the next by a comma. Each record ends with one Carriage Return and one Line Feed (CR LF) character. Most word processors (such as Word Perfect, Microsoft Word, Multimate, etc. can use this file as a "merge" file, to create form letters. Much other software (such as spreadsheets and databases) can use this file to copy NAMEBASE data into their own file formats. Consult the manual that came with your word processor or other software. You will have to tell your word processor or other software the order of the fields in the NAME.OUT file. The format of the NAME.OUT file is as follows: There are 29 fields in each record of the file. The last name is the first field, followed by the first name. The rest of the fields occur in the same order as the cursor moves on the EDIT screen when you press ENTER to jump from one field to the next. Each field is surrounded by double quotes and separated from the next with a comma. Even if a field is blank, it must still have its position held in each record. This is done by placing two double quotes in the record without anything between them. The last field (the Notes field) is one long string. You can also use this feature to move large numbers of records from one NAMEBASE file to another one, or to a different sub-file in the same NAMEBASE file. To do this, you first create the NAME.OUT file by running the "Export to file NAME.OUT" report, then copy that file into any sub-file you choose by using the "Import file" function on the menu. Please be aware that any double quotes in your data will be exported as single quotes because double quotes are used to delimit each field within the NAME.OUT file. IMPORT FILE: To copy a NAME.OUT file back into NAMEBASE, choose the "Import file" option from the menu, pick the sub-file you want to copy the NAME.OUT file into, then press ENTER. Be aware that this could take a bit of time if you are dealing with hundreds of records. NAMEBASE will first verify that all your records in the NAME.OUT file are o.k. before it starts adding them to the file. If it finds any errors, no records will be copied. An example of an error is if any record has less or more fields than NAMEBASE requires. This could happen if you created the NAME.OUT file yourself with a text editor, and did not follow the format that NAMEBASE expects. If a record with the exact same name already exists in the sub- file you are copying into, it will be replaced with the record from the NAME.OUT file. If you have records with duplicate names in the NAME.OUT file, only the last one will be added to the sub- file. EXITING NAMEBASE: To end NAMEBASE, simply press the Escape key (Esc) from the first screen. Do NOT turn off power to the computer before you see the DOS prompt. Wait for NAMEBASE to completely end, and for the DOS prompt to appear. LAST, AND MOST IMPORTANT: ALWAYS back up your data file after using NAMEBASE! Do this by copying your NAME.DAT file to a floppy disk, with the command: COPY NAME.DAT A: This assumes that your floppy drive is drive A: I am committed to making NAMEBASE the best product of it's kind. Any suggestions for improvement are always welcome. I hope you like NAMEBASE, and look forward to showing you the exciting new features in future versions. Thanks for giving NAMEBASE a try! ******* ANNOUNCING NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS ******* I'm very proud and excited to announce NameBase for Windows! I'm happy to say the program and documentation are finally complete. The first question you may be asking is: Will current NameBase data work with this new version? The answer is yes. The registered version of NameBase for Windows includes a program that converts all of your existing NameBase data to the Windows version. NameBase for Windows is a totally new program that is much more powerful than the DOS version, but even easier to use! Many of the features that my customers have asked for are now included. If you have used the DOS version of NameBase for a while, you're probably familiar with the ability to separate the records in your database into different groups called Sub-files. NameBase for Windows takes this concept much further. Sub-files are now called categories. You can assign each record in your database to multiple categories, so now someone can be in your list of friends and your list of business associates. Furthermore, you can display each list individually or all lists combined. You can easily assign a person to any category with the click of a mouse, and delete categories just as easily. No matter how many categories you assign a record to, that record only need exist in the database once. No more duplicate data between categories. NameBase also lets you add more than one person with the same name. Any group of records can be displayed, based on any criteria you specify. For example, suppose you want to see all people in your database who live in Colorado. You can do this easily by specifying that you want to display all records where the State equals "CO". This search can be much more advanced, such as finding all persons whose first name starts with "R" and whose last name ends with the letters "son". Not only does it find all the records you want, but they are displayed in a convenient list that you can easily edit. You only have to deal with the records you want, not the whole database. You can sort your lists by any field in the database. There is now a separate field for company or organization name. Sort by that field instead of the last name field if you are searching for a company, or if you want to see all the people in that company. You can quickly locate any record by simply typing the first few characters of whatever field you happen to have sorted by, not just by the person's last name like before. You can easily search for any text in the entire database. For example, suppose an unfamiliar phone number appears on your phone bill. Just enter that number into the NameBase Find box, and every record containing that phone number anywhere (even in the Notes field) will be displayed. You can edit data directly on a spreadsheet-like grid, or on a full-screen form like before. You can prevent printing of the notes data for specific records, yet let notes print for other records. This is useful if you put some confidential information in the notes field that you would rather not print in your address book or other report. Click the mouse on the Clipboard button, and the full name and address of the current record is copied to the Windows Clipboard. You can then easily paste this information directly into a letter you may be writing to that person with your word processor. There is now a Country field, as well as an additional address line. There are also two new user-definable fields, places for five phone numbers and five dates, and an E-mail field. The maximum number of characters you can enter into each field in the database has been substantially increased, and is not limited to what can be seen on the screen. You can tell NameBase which of the two addresses you want to print on labels. You can now specify the style and size of print for labels and envelopes. Choose from all available Windows fonts. NameBase for Windows uses a Microsoft Access database, and can handle tens of thousands of records. If you own Microsoft Access, you can even write your own reports. Mail Merge is a snap using just about any word processor, and data is easily imported into most spreadsheets. You can even use NameBase on a Local Area Network, to share the same database among many people. It makes a great department-wide or company-wide phone book. NameBase includes complete on-line help, including searching for topics and linking to related subjects. To run NameBase for Windows, the minimum recommended requirement is a computer with at least a 386 processor and 4 Megabytes of RAM. You will also need Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or later installed. NameBase for Windows also runs fine under Windows 95 and Windows NT. The Shareware version of NameBase for Windows is on various online services and BBS's as file name NAME102.ZIP or NAME104.ZIP. The Shareware version is limited to holding no more than 40 records. The program that converts your data from the old version of NameBase is only supplied to fully registered users and is not Shareware. The regular price for NameBase for Windows is $33. However I will include the fully registered Windows version for FREE when you register the DOS version. Registration for NameBase for Windows is not available via the old phone order number, and I cannot accept credit cards. 3.5 inch diskettes will be sent. Please make checks payable to Michael Paulick for a total of $29 and send to the following address: Michael Paulick PO BOX 935 CONIFER, CO 80433 YOU MUST INDICATE ON THE ORDER FORM THAT YOU WANT THE WINDOWS VERSION IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FREE OFFER! If you want only the Windows version, you are still paying less than the regular price. In that case, please let me know that I don't have to include the DOS version also, and you can subtract another dollar off the price, for a total of only $28. If you want only the DOS version, you can also take this $1.00 discount. Thanks. ******* END OF NAMEBASE FOR WINDOWS ANNOUNCEMENT ******* ASP Ombudsman Information Michael Paulick is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
