WHY USE WEBMASTER(TM) ?
=======================
WebMaster(TM) takes the pain out of organizing Web Pages!
WebMaster(TM) imports World Wide Web links and e-mail
addresses AUTOMATICALLY--NO TYPING REQUIRED. I've found
Web pages that contain upwards of 200 Web Site links...
Some e-mail directories at institutions located on the Web
list hundreds--sometimes even THOUSANDS--of addresses.
Imagine bookmarking these manually using your browser...
or worse, typing them by hand! WebMaster imports & alpha-
betically organizes the entire list in a matter of seconds!
You can save, search, even PRINT these lists to your printer.
HOW TO SCAN for Links & Addresses
---------------------------------
1) Save any Web Page or other file to disk.
(a sample Web Page "DOD.HTM" is included)
2) Click 'Import Web Page' or 'Import E-mail.'
3) Select a file in ANY location that you've saved
from ANY application... or even an application
itself! WebMaster(TM) gathers all Web links from
the file you select. Try importing "DOD.HTM" now,
using the 'Import Web Page' option.
After the 'ahhh's subside, open "DOD.HTM" with Notepad,
or other plain text editor, and you get an idea of the
time, effort, and typing that WebMaster can save you.
HOW TO FIND Names/Titles in your lists
--------------------------------------
Need to find a Website or name you have on file?
To view one list or the other, Select "Web Sites" or
"E-mail Addresses" in the WINDOW menu.
To search for a specific title or name:
1) Type the first letters of the name you want to find.
2) Click the <Find> button.
Or, you may also click on the list--use PGUP, PGDN, or arrow
keys to navigate. To copy addresses from WebMaster for use
in another application (or vice-versa), you can use standard
tools or keyboard shortcuts, found in the EDIT menu.
ESC and TAB keys will help you move around entry blanks.
The rest is pretty elementary; just play around with the menu
options, and you'll figure it out--or better, send in the reg-
istration fee, and I'll send you printed instructions! A few
features are disabled on the shareware version.
SPECIAL FEATURES for NetCruiser(TM) & America Online(TM)
--------------------------------------------------------
You can easily import Web Sites or E-mail addresses you've
saved while in your account. From the Records menu, select
RECORDS >> IMPORT WEB SITES >> IMPORT FROM NETCRUISER (or)
AMERICA ONLINE. Repeat periodically to update; WebMaster
will skip any duplicates already added.
NOW, *WHO'S* THE WEBMASTER?
---------------------------
In no time, YOUR WebMaster directory will contain thousands
of valuable information sources and addresses from all over
the Web! Trade them with friends. Drop them at parties.
You'll be the Infomeister Supreme.
But don't be stingy... you'll have plenty to go around!
Who knows--YOU may even start a valuable business,
using this tool. A few ideas:
- Collect & sell mailing lists!
- Develop a directory of Web Sites!
- Market your research skills to others!
- Sell valuable information to customers... friends... relatives?
- Easily manage monstrous, cyberspace volumes of information!
- Quickly find & capitalize on the Information YOU need!
SCANNING VERY LARGE FILES
-------------------------
Some files (i.e. large/institutional directory files may require
more memory than WebMaster initially reserves (I wanted to leave
SOME memory for your other applications!). To modify, you may
either 1) Edit WebMaster's PIF settings (see your Windows manual
for instruction), or 2) Split the file into smaller pieces. A
freeware file-splitting utility (SPLITF.EXE) is included in the
WM directory.
To split:
1) Copy SPLITF.EXE to the directory containing the file (copy--
don't *remove* SPLITF).
2) At the directory prompt, type: SPLITF filename 100000 <enter>
(replace "filename" with actual filename to split). SPLITF
will not alter your original file; additional 'split' files
are added with tags filename.000, .001, and so on.
3) Re-start WebMaster, select each split file, and scan it.
You may use a number other than 100000; however, be warned that
very large files may take a while to scan (especially if they're
solid address lists). WebMaster updates the percent of file it's
scanned and in the lower-left corner, the # of records added in
real time.
YOU *MAY* WORK IN OTHER APPLICATIONS WHILE WEBMASTER SCANS!
Click on the minimize arrow (located in upper-right corner
of the main window). Double-click the WM icon to restore.
DO *NOT* DISTRIBUTE THE REGISTERED VERSION
------------------------------------------
Distribution of any REGISTERED version is ILLEGAL.
Plus, it hurts my feelings. Please don't do it!
This impairs efforts toward inexpensive, effective
solutions that I would like to provide you.
*DO* DISTRIBUTE THE SHAREWARE VERSION =FREELY=
----------------------------------------------
You can easily create an authorized, uploadable
version of WebMaster(TM) or one to share with
your friends--and if you let me know when, where,
and provide authorization that you uploaded
to an archive or on-line service before anyone
else, you'll win a FREE upgrade to the next version!
For both of the following programs, first place a copy
of PKUNZIP.EXE (v2.04g preferred) in your WebMaster
directory (PKUNZIP isn't included in the WMASTER2.ZIP
file), and have two formatted floppy disks ready.
To make quick shareware copies:
+ Have two formatted, high-density floppy disks ready.
+ From within your WebMaster directory, type DUPE <enter>.
+ WebMaster will make an install-ready, 2-disk shareware set!
To make an -uploadable- .ZIP file:
+ You must have PKUNZIP.EXE (v2.04g pref'd) on your drive.
+ From within your WebMaster directory, type UPLOAD <enter>.
+ WebMaster makes a .ZIP file in a new directory \WMUPLOAD,
ready for you to upload to your online service or network!
Please ONLY use the WebMaster duplication programs
to make copies--WebMaster(TM) WILL NOT WORK if you
try to compress and distribute it manually.
This is one piece of software that GROWS in value
as you trade e-mail addresses & Web Sites with your
friends & associates! Please tell everyone you know
where you got it! And, if you refer people to me,
I'LL think YOU'RE cool! Who am I? Well, I wrote
the program, didn't I?
PLEASE WRITE
------------
PLEASE write to tell me about your unique use of
WebMaster(TM). Helping YOU gain mastery in any area
of your life (even if it's just alphabetizing your
friends' e-mail addresses) is the inspiration for
me to continue developing these shareware programs.
Any suggestions will be taken to heart.
Please let me know if you don't see WebMaster(TM) on your
site or service. I'll try to make it available. Also,
when you register, let me know where you found it, and
the name of the registered person who uploaded it (look
for it in green, on the startup screen of the shareware
version). That person has done me a favor, AND made
WebMaster available to you--please tell me who it is so
that I can reward them with a free upgrade!
I want this to be THE most helpful & successful shareware
information-gathering tool in history! If you have any
wishes, suggestions, or just want to shoot the breeze,
don't hesitate to drop me a note.
THANK YOU!
