- As stated above, this utility is FREEWARE. That is, you may spread it
- to anybody as long as no profit is made. It is NOT allowed to be sold
- by ANY PD-Company or private person. The copyright belong to the author
- (ey that's me) - I can not tolerate any sale of this program, and if
- I get to know if anyone sells it, I have to do the necessary things to
- stop it. And I have my ways of doing it.

- How to get the latest version
- -----------------------------
- If you would like the latest, improved and debugged version of ADPR (in
- this case v1.2) - you should mail me $10. These $10 is: $5 for disk and
- postage, $5 for the donation itself, and you'll get your name in the
- registered users list. Before ADPR is released officially, you can be
- sure to receive it. This even includes the latest update of my pretty
- useable virusdetector RESCUE ME! - and maybe even some more little
- wonders? Who knows.
-
-
-
-
- What IS the thing?
- ------------------
- Some of you might remember a tiny, bugged little address-storage program
- called 'Trademate'? - Well, I decided not to update it anymore because of
- it's bugs and messy source..
- ..but I could stand the idea, and the only other 'useable' program was
- 'Swappit'. -- Well, what could I do than start from scratch on a new
- program? The result is ... AdPerfect!!
-
- AdPerfect in its present form is supposed to be bugfree, but ofcourse..
- .."There's always one more bug left" - Anyway, it's fully useable and
- includes (nearly) all of the options available on the menus.
-
-
-
-
- How to use it
- -------------
- Using ADPR is even more simple than reading this document, but since you
- are at it... I will only explain the icons, I guess you are not a total
- beginner!? Thought so.
-
- PLEASE NOTICE THAT ADPERFECT NEEDS THE *FABOLOUS*
-
- 'REQTOOLS.LIBRARY' (v37++) By Nico Francois!
-
- MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY: - USE THIS LIBRARY INSTEAD OF 'REQ.LIBRARY'!!
-
- Also notice that ADPR consumes a lot of memory and should not be used
- for multitasking environment on 512kB machines.
-
- THE MAIN SCREEN (DEFAULT)
- =========================
-
- Edit
- ----
- This opens a window at the current entry and puts up some stringgadgets
- for you to enter all data. It will notify you if it couldn't open the
- window (mysterous circumstances) - You can write maximum 40 chars at each
- 'subentry' as I call it.
-
- Custom
- ------
- ADPR supports three 'custom' names which you can set yourself with this
- command. This is quite handy for i.e. swappers who want to enter their
- contacts groups and handles etc.
- Just enter the string for each of the three, it's unique (unless un-
- changed) for each list, it will be saved on the list only, so you can
- have many different lists with different custom names.
- You can only set these one time on each list.
-
- F
- - (F)irst entry. Moves to the first entry in list.
-
- N
- - (N)ext entry. Moves to next entry if possible.
-
- P
- - (P)revious entry. Moves to previous entry if possible.
-
- L
- - (L)ast entry. Moves to last entry in list.
-
- JUMP
- ----
- Jump to entry XxXx - opens a numrequester.
-
- A
- -
- (A)dd entry - adds an entry to the allocated list. Opens the edit window
- and let's you input the needed strings. It adds always to the end of
- the list. You should NOT have more than 9999 entries in your list (who
- got enough memory for it anyway? 3Mb++)
-
- D
- -
- (D)el entry - deletes current entry. Be careful with this one!
- To do it safer, use CUT, because it saves the entry in a buffer before
- deleting it.
-
- SEARCH
- ------
- Normal search, searches for a given string from the current entry to the
- end of the list. It searches on NAME and CUSTOM1-3. Please notice that
- you must enter the string in the right case.
-
- DEEPSEARCH
- ----------
- Searches on ALL entry from the first to the last on ALL subentries
- (names, addresses etc.)
