PM Scrapbook PM Scrapbook is a 32 bit OS/2 PM Personal Information Manager/Database with address books, to-do lists, user definable "tables", note pads and Workplace Shell references organized in a graphical tree format. ================== INSTALLATION ========================================== Step1 - Copy PMScrpBk.exe to a directory that you use to store programs or to it's own directory. Step2 - Copy PMScrpBk.hlp to a directory that is listed in the HELP variable in your CONFIG.SYS or add the new directory for PM Scrapbook to your CONFIG.SYS HELP var Step3 - Copy PMScrpBk.scb to your disk. In general, it helps to create a new directory and copy all of these files in it. You can then store additional scrapbooks in the same directory with the executables and help. Step3 - Add a program entry to any of your folders for PMScrpbk.exe. The only required program setting is the Path and file name field for PMScrpBk.exe. If you enter a scrapbook file in the Parameters field, PM Scrapbook will open the file when executed. Alternately, you can just start PMScrpBk.exe to get a feel for the program. ================== REGISTRATION ========================================== If, after 30 days, you find PM Scrapbook useful, you must register it.

If you have trouble loading an earlier version of a scrapbook, please forward the file to Coolware and every effort will be made to correct the problem. All data within the file will be held in the strictest of confidence. You may notice that the 'List' entry type is no longer. List entries are automatically converted to MiniBases when the file is loaded. Loading a scrapbook containing a List entry immediately flags the scrapbook as modified. You should save the file to disk to convert the scrapbbok to the latest format. You will not lose data if you don't. ================== UNINSTALLING PM SCRAPBOOK ============================= Step1 - Run PMScrpBk.exe from an OS/2 command window with "remove_pmsb_now" (without the quotes) as a parameter. This will remove the references to PM Scrapbook from your OS/2 INI file. Step2 - Delete PMScrpBk.* from the directory you installed it in. Step3 - Delete all *.scb files from your hard drive. Note that you may perform only 'Step1' if you want to 'reset' PM Scrapbbok to it's default settings.
