- Getting Started
-
-
- Introduction:
-
- Time and Mail Coordinator is a personal information management
- tool that is menu driven and extremely easy to setup and use. With it
- you can keep notes about your daily schedule and appointments. Plan
- for birthdays, holidays and keep a list of addresses and phone
- numbers. Print or export as ASCII files: calendars, monthly notes,
- phone and address directory data, and mailing lists. As you use the
- program, helpful information is displayed along the way and additional
- information is accessible just by pressing F1. If you are new to
- using a personal computer or you just don't have the time to learn
- another programs set of hard to remember commands, then Time and mail
- coordinator is for you.
-
- This users guide is organized with the most basic information in
- this first chapter. By reading this first chapter you should have
- enough information to be able to get started using Time and Mail
- Coordinator. The rest of the information in this users guide is
- grouped into chapters which directly relate to the items on the menu
- bar at the top of the screen in the program. This will help you find
- answers to specific questions much faster.
-
- System Requirements:
-
- This program may work with less than the following requirements,
- but has not been tested for use without:
-
- CGA or better video card.
- Color monitor.
- DOS 3.3 or higher.
- A hard disk drive is recommended.
-
- If you have an older CGA video card or a card other than CGA,
- EGA, or VGA and you have problems then change or create the file
- CGA_OLD.AAA within the same directory as this program. The file needs
- to have a byte total other than zero for the program to recognize it.
- You can create it with a word processor or by typing the following at
- the DOS Prompt: COPY CON CGA_OLD.AAA <ENTER> 1 <ENTER> <CONTROL>-Z
- <ENTER> The file you create must be contained in the same directory
- as the program files for it to have an effect on the program.
-
- Backup Copies:
-
- You may make as many backup copies as you desire. You may use
- the DOS command DISKCOPY or COPY *.* since this program does not
- contain subdirectories. You should also make frequent backup copies
- of your data. Your data will be stored in the files with the .DER
- file name extensions for the calendar notes and the file C-D-ADDR.TMC
- for the directory data. These may be copied with the DOS COPY
- command. See your DOS manual for more information on these commands.
-

-
- Files distributed with Time and Mail Coordinator:
-
- CALENDAR.EXE CALN-JAN.DER README.DOC
- CALEN286.EXE | MANUAL.DOC
- C-D-HELP.AAA thru VENDOR.DOC
- C-D-ADDR.AAA | ORDER.FRM
- C-D-COLR.AAA CALN-DEC.DER
-
- Installing:
-
- Installing this program on your hard disk is recommended since
- this will decrease file access time and will allow for larger file
- sizes. Running this program from a floppy disk will severely limit
- your phone directory and calendar note file sizes. To install this
- program on your hard drive: copy all the files on the distribution
- disk to a separate directory on your hard drive. The program files
- are normally distributed in a compressed format to save disk space.
- You should find a file named TMC13A.EXE or TMC13A.ZIP. The file
- TMC13A.EXE is a self extracting file, the file TMC13A.ZIP requires
- a utility program to extract the program files which is available
- from most disk vendors and bulletin boards. Once you have extracted
- the program files you are ready to run the program.
- Step by Step instructions: First move to the root directory of
- your hard drive. To reach the root directory of your hard drive,
- first type C: at the DOS prompt and press <ENTER>. This assumes that
- C is the letter designation of your hard drive (the C drive is
- normally the first hard drive in a system). Now type CD\ and press
- <ENTER>. You should now be in the root directory of your hard drive.
- Your DOS prompt should look similar to C:> Now type MKDIR ADDRTIME
- and press <ENTER>, this will create a directory called ADDRTIME on
- your hard drive. You can confirm this by typing DIR ADDRTIME and
- pressing <ENTER>. If the ADDRTIME directory is displayed you have
- successfully created it. Now change to this directory by typing
- CD\ADDRTIME <ENTER>. Next type COPY A:\*.* <ENTER> (this assumes
- that the files to be copied are on the A drive). Now that the files
- are in the separate directory on your hard drive you must unpack them
- from either the file TMC13A.EXE or TMC13A.ZIP. If you have the file
- named TMC13A.EXE simply type TMC13A and you should be ready to start
- the program. If you instead have the file named TMC13A.ZIP you will
- need to use an unpacking utility that is available from most disk
- vendors and bulletin boards.
-
- Starting Program:
-
- If you plan on running this program from a floppy disk (not
- recommended, see section on installing), you may install it on a
- floppy disk by copying all program files to that disk.
- FROM FLOPPY DISK: Insert the program disk into the disk drive with the
- label side up. Now change the default drive to the drive containing
- the program (If the disk is in the A drive type A: then press
- <ENTER> at the DOS prompt), then type CALENDAR and press <ENTER>.
- This program comes with another executable file, CALEN286.EXE, which
- will run faster and take up less memory. If your processor is a 80286
- or higher you may use this instead. Just type CALEN286 instead of
- CALENDAR.
- ** Page 7 **
-
-
-
- FROM HARD DISK: If you will be running this program from a hard drive,
- change the default drive to the hard disk containing the program (If
- the disk is the C drive then type C: and press <ENTER> at the DOS
- prompt), then type CD\ADDRTIME (if ADDRTIME is the name of the
- directory containing the program) and press <ENTER> to change to the
- program subdirectory. Now type CALENDAR and press <ENTER>. If you
- have a 80286 processor or higher you may use the alternate version by
- typing CALEN286 instead of CALENDAR. This version of the program
- will run faster and take up less memory.
-
- After starting the program the first thing displayed is the
- Calendar screen, with the copyright notice in a window at the center.
- To remove the copyright message just press any key. The last line of
- the screen contains helpful messages about what actions you may take.
- On the right side of the bottom line is a lock key indicator which
- indicates if your Shift, Insert, or Num lock keys are active. Help
- is also available during most parts of the program by pressing <F1>.
-
- Menu Bar:
-
- You can access the menu bar at the top of the screen by pressing
- the function key <F10> or by holding down then <ALT> key and the first
- letter of the menu bar item that you wish to access. The menu bar
- items are Calendar, Directory, Options and Help. For example, to
- access the Help item, you hold down the <ALT> key and at the same time
- press the letter H, this will drop down the help menu. Each first
- level menu item contains a red letter. You may select a menu item by
- pressing the letter key corresponding to the items red letter. You
- may also use the arrow keys to change menus or highlight a menu item
- and then press <ENTER> to select it.
-
- Function Keys:
-
- The Function keys are the keys labeled F1 through F10. They are
- used for quick access to program functions without having to use the
- menus. After you have used this program for a while you will find
- these keys to be an efficient means of performing these program
- functions. The function keys are used in this program as follows:
-
- F1 Help May be used in most parts of the program.
- F2 Calendar View Displays the calendar with current month.
- F3 Directory View Displays the phone and address directory.
- F4 Find Finds a user specified directory record.
- F5 Edit Used to edit the current directory record.
- F6 Sort Sorts the directory by a selected field.
- F7 Add Adds a record to the directory.
- F8 Delete Deletes the current record from the directory.
- F9 Jump Used to jump to a specified directory record.
- F10 Menu Accesses the menu bar at the top of screen.
-
- Shift - F2 Displays the next month.
- Alt - F2 Displays the previous month.
- Shift - F10 Blanks the screen until a key is pressed.
-
-
- ** Page 8 **
-
-
-
- Screen Saver:
-
- The screen saver feature is activated by holding down the <SHIFT>
- key and at the same time pressing the function key <F10>. This will
- blank the screen until another key is pressed. This feature is not
- available when in an edit or menu mode. Blanking the screen when not
- using the system helps prevent "burn in". This condition occurs when
- the same display is left on the screen for long periods of time. The
- objects are more or less "burned" into the screen and can actually be
- seen after a monitor is turned off in severe cases. This is more
- common with businesses that leave their systems on all day with the
- same image displayed. The screen saver also has the added benefit of
- quickly concealing your important data from those in the area without
- the need to know.
-
- General Information:
-
- This program is a shareware product. You may copy this program
- and distribute it to your friends for their evaluation. If you make
- use of this software you are expected to pay a registration fee.
- Please read the Disclaimer of Warranty, the License Agreement and the
- ASP Ombudsman Statement at the beginning of this users guide. Also
- see the section later in this chapter on registration. An order form
- may be printed from within the program by selecting Registration from
- the Help menu and typing a Y when asked if you want to print an order
- form.
-
- Definition of Shareware:
-
- The following definition of Shareware is an excerpt from a file
- on Shareware provided by the Association of Shareware Professionals,
- prepared by Paul Mayer, author of GRAB Plus.
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using
- it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on
- details -- some request registration while others require it, some
- specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything
- from the simple right to continue to using the software to an updated
- program with printed manual.
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated in the license agreement. Shareware authors are
- accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the
- programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good
- programs and bad ones!) The main difference is the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and
- distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific
- group. For example, some authors require written permission before a
- commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether its
- commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your
-
-
- ** Page 9 **
-
-
-
- needs easier, because the overhead is low, prices are low also.
- Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use
- the product, you don't pay for it.
-
- Vendor Requirements:

- as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
- distributors may begin offering Time and Mail Coordinator immediately
- (However Specific Applications Software must still be advised so that
- the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of Time
- and mail Coordinator).

- Directory
-
-
- View Directory:
-
- To View the directory you can select it from the directory menu
- or you may press <F3> when not in one of the edit or menu modes. The
- directory screen is composed of ten directory fields and a file
- position indicator on the right side of the screen. While viewing the
- directory you may use the Page Up, Page Down, Home, End and arrow
- keys. The total number of records in the directory and the current
- record number are displayed close to the bottom of the screen together
- on the same line. When first using this program there should be
- example data in the directory, you may delete this information.
-
- Directory Record Fields:
-
- There are ten fields for each record in the directory. These
- are: Last name, First name, Middle Initial, Note field, Mail List,
- Phone Number, Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code. The only
- field that is not self explanatory is the "Mail List" filed. This
- field is ten characters long and is used to identify which record
- belongs to which mailing list. The main purpose of this field is to
- enable you to print mailing lists from the information in your
- directory. Each character entered into this field identifies a record
- as belonging to a unique mailing list. A record may belong to up to
- ten different mailing lists. For more information see "Print
- Directory Data" at the end of this chapter.
-
- Sort:
-
- To sort the directory, select Sort from the directory menu or
- press <F6> when not in one of the edit or menu modes. You may sort
- the directory using any of the fields. Select the field you wish to
- be your sort key with the arrow keys and press <ENTER>. If you have a
- fairly large directory this may take a while.
-
- Add:
-
- To add a record to the directory use the Add selection from the
- directory menu or press <F7> when not in one of the edit or menu
- modes. Then type in the information and use the arrow keys to change
- fields. Press <ENTER> when done or <ESC> to cancel.
-
- Delete:
-
- To delete a record from the directory first select the record to
- be deleted in the view directory mode then use the Delete selection
- from the directory menu or press <F8> when not in one of the edit or
- menu modes. You will then need to type "Y" to a prompt asking if you
- want to delete the current record.
-
-
-
- ** Page 14 **
-
-
-
- Search:
-
- To search the directory for a certain record use the Find
- selection from the directory menu or press <F4> when not in one of the
- edit or menu modes. Highlight the field you wish to use to search
- with and type in the data to find. For example to find a record for
- the person with the last name of Smith, select the last name field and
- type in the name Smith. Now you can press <ENTER> to find a match.
- You can find another match by repeating this procedure from the
- current match. You can also type in a partial name such as Smi from
- Smith and the program will find the first occurrence of those
- characters in that field.
-
- Jump:
-
- The directory jump function allows you to move more quickly
- through your phone/address directory. To use the directory jump
- function simple select it from the directory menu or press <F9>, then
- type in the record number you wish to jump to. The total number of
- records and the current record number are displayed close to the
- bottom of the screen together on the same line. Being able to
- directly jump to a specific record is especially useful when you have
- a large directory. Using page up or page down could take too long if
- the distance between the current record number and the record you wish
- to view is considerable.
-
- New File:
-
- The new file selection of the directory menu allows you to have
- multiple files for your phone/address directory. To start a new file
- or switch to an existing file just type in the path and file name when
- prompted to do so. The file extension for a Time and Mail Coordinator
- directory file must be .TMC, any DOS legal file name and path with this
- extension will be acceptable.

- with other programs such as word processors. To accomplish this,
- simply select Export ASCII from the Options menu and follow the
- prompts. Once the data has been placed in a file you may import it or
- append it to another file from DOS or from a multitude of available
- word processors or text editors.

-
- Print Directory Data:
-
- To print information contained in the directory, choose the
- "Print Directory" selection from the options menu. You will then be
- given a choice of print options.
-
- These choices are:
-
- 1. Print Current Record - Prints all of current record
-
- 2. Print All Records - Prints an Address/Phone directory
-
- 3. Print Current Record Label - Prints a mailing address
-
- 4. Print Mail List - Prints specified mail lists
-
- If you choose to print a mailing list you will be prompted for
- the number of lines between records and the left margin size. Being
- able to select the number of lines between records and the left margin
- size allows you to print more than just mailing labels. You can also
- print envelopes, rolodex cards, etc. The normal number of lines to
- select for continuous form mailing labels is 3. If you are just
- printing a list on continuous form plain paper then you may wish to
- use 1 line between records to save paper. After setting the left
- margin and lines between records you will be prompted for the lists
- you wish to print. The lists are determined by the characters in the
- Mail List field of the directory records (See "Directory Record
- Fields" in this chapter for more information). For example if you
- type a "1" then all the records with a 1 in the mailing list field
- will be printed. If you were to type "12" then the records with a 1
- and/or a 2 in the Mail List field would be printed. Being able to
- divide your directory into a number of different mailing lists can be
- quite useful. For example a business could indicate customers who
- have purchased their product with a 1 in the Mail List field and for
- customers who have purchased a competitors product with a 2 (or you
- can use any other characters you may choose). Then the first list
- could be printed out by specifying the 1 mailing list and print out
- the second list by printing out the 2 mailing list. Records from both
- lists could also be printed all at once by typing "12" for the lists
- to be printed.
-
- Directory Data to File:
-
- The Directory, or parts of it, may be placed in an ASCII file for
- use with other programs such as word processors. To accomplish this
- simple select Export ASCII from the Options menu and follow the
- prompts. Once the data has been placed in a file you may import it or
- append it to another ASCII file.

- Sound On/Off:
-
- To disable program sound (warning beeps, etc.), select Sound Off
- from the Options menu. To enable program sound Select Sound On. This
- is a toggle type function. If Sound Off is displayed then sound is
- currently enabled. By selecting Sound Off the sound will be disabled
- and the displayed selection will change to Sound On.
