YDPOP (C)1993 Corvet Systems, Inc.       Ver 2.2J
                             12/23/93

Welcome new users to the Shareware Version of YDPOP.

YDPOP is a TSR program designed to be used with the DOS operating system.

YDPOP is a Terminate and Stay Resident contact manager. This means you 
will have instant access to your names and address data from within most
other programs.  No need to stop and save what you are doing and enter 
a contact database.  When the phone rings press the hot key; Cntrl-Y, and 
YDPOP will save your place and become active.  You can then record memo 
notes and look up information.  This is very handy when someone calls and 
your memory needs help.  All data fields can be searched, one piece of 
information will quickly find the rest of their record.  This is very handy 
if you deal with many clients or do alot of cold calling. Upon completion
of the call press the escape key and YDPOP will restore your place and 
you can continue without loosing any time.

With YDPOP you can share address information with other programs.  No 
longer do you have to grab the rolodex or write down the address after 
looking it up on the screen.  YDPOP will export the name and address right
into your letter.  As simple as popup, find the record, slash, enter, enter,
and the address will have been typed into your letter.

NEW with Version 2.2J is the addition of a CALENDAR CREATOR.  Calendar.Exe
is a stand alone program using the YDPOP data files to create a Dot Matrix
or LaserJet calendar.  To Use type CALENDAR at at DOS prompt, calendar
will use the data in the current path or directory.

YDPOP does not use a lot of memory when inactive.  YDPOP leaves a 
"footprint" of 4K while inactive or popped down.  Ydpop automatically 
locates itself in EMS or XMS memory when available, or on your hard drive 
if memory is not available. YDPOP works with most VGA graphics programs.

     Typically you should install YDPOP in a subdirectory named YDPOP and 
use the DOS command c:\ydpop\ydpop to install YDPOP in the background.  
You may substitute other directory names in place of YDPOP.  Add the 
command line- C:\ydpop\ydpop into your autoexec.bat file for automatic 
loading of YDPOP when the computer is turned on.

     YDPOP is very useful within a text based word processor as a rotory 
name file.  YDPOP can type the address directly into your letter using 
an export feature.  YDPOP has the ability to attach up to 200 lines of 
memos to each record.  While working within a DOS program and YDPOP is 
running in the background, when the phone rings you press Control-Y, answer 
the phone, determine who the caller is and search for their record.  At this 
point all the past memos can be displayed for your quick reference.  This 
will greatly "enhance" your memory, and with the dates of memos displayed 
will give a chronology of your contacts with the individual or company. 
This demo version is limited to 100 contact records.  Please register for 
a full featured version.

The main keys to remember when using YDPOP are the slash key /, the F1 key,
the F2 key and the escape key.

Slash Key / = Will display a menu of available commands

F1 Key      = Will display a scrollable help screen. Use the up and down
              arrow to view the entire help message.

F2 Key      = Allows access to a completed cell for editing.  A blank cell
              may be filled by typing directly into the cell.  Once filled
              you must press the F2 key to edit the cell.  This feature acts
              to protect your data from errant keystrokes.

Escape Key  = The escape key "escapes" from the current operation and moves
              backward a single step.  While the record is displayed, press-
              ing escape will exit the popup and return to your calling prog-
              ram.

YDPOP includes a HP/Std 2 mode calculator with export features  and a 
perpetual calendar for your use.

YDPLUS:

YDPOP is part of a much larger program called YDPLUS.  Ydplus is more of a
mailing management program allowing the user to classify the contacts(records)
into an unlimited range of classifications.  Each record may be part of up
to 10 seperate classifications.  As an example the contact might be a 
personal friend, on your christmas card list, and member of your church all
at the same time.  In the building and contracting industry the classes are
used to describe the type of work the contractor is capable of.  An example 
might be; a drywall contractor who also does plaster and trim carpentry.  A 
typical data base might require 3 records to discribe this contractor, whereas 
YDPLUS uses 1 record and 3 of the 10 available fields. 

YDPLUS contains many reports and mail management features.

A demo version of YDPLUS is available for $10.00 USA funds with the full 
amount applying to the purchase price of $125.00 USA for the full version.
Please add $3.00 for shipping.  Registered users of YDPOP may DEDUCT 
$30.00 (YDPOP registration price) from the price of registering YDPLUS 
(add $3 shipping = $98.00 total per copy)
