- OVERVIEW
- --------
-
- This version is primarily intended for users of Microsoft(R) Windows(R)
- 3.1/3.11 and Windows for Workgroups 3.1/3.11 but work well in windows
- 95 environment.
-
- Note that this version is a 16-bit program and therefore you do not
- need to have Win32s(R) installed on your computer.
-
- If you are using Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT(R), you will be
- able to download a 32 bit version designed and optimized for these
- platforms soon:
-
- This product enables you to store your names, address, phone numbers,
- memo and anniversary and have these records at your finger tip with a
- great 15 search option. With address manager you will be able to store
- an anniversary date, which will start reminding you three days prior
- to that event, you will also be able to search for anniversary dates
- by month or day. You will be able to mark your records for printing or
- deleting. Print your records with or without return address to any
- size envelope or popular Avery label size and also have the ability to
- print detail customize address (printer limitation) using any laser
- printer, store memo on each record, automatic detect modem and dial any
- phone number in your record. 8 button for storing names for speed
- dialling, or you can manually dial your number. Store over 250 cities,
- over 300 state/Province and countries all at your finger tip while
- adding or editing your record. You may also import, export to and from
- most of the popular database or ASCII delimiter files. I have tried to
- make Address Manager as user friendly as possible, for instance all
- first letter in ever field goes to upper case, if company field is
- blank then it skips title, same goes for address1 field, if that field
- is blank the cursor goes to the phone number field. You will also find
- the keypad is an easy and fast way to your records, simply by pressing
- a letter on the keypad will move to the first record starting with that
- letter and ever press after will move to the next record starting with
- that letter until no match is found. You can also move to next,
- previous, first or last record by the press of a button, record
- numbering keep track of record position and total record in database.

-
- Special Note:
- --------------
- Because of all the changes I have made to the program it is no longer
- compatible with any previous version of Address manager, I have change
- the database table of this version to accommodate area code and phone
- numbers separately, phone numbers that were enter in the ten digit
- format (10) will not fit in the table provided for only seven digits
- numbers now. Because of the many suggestion I have receive from you
- the potential user, I have made some major changes to the program so as
- to give it the look and feel of the soon to be release 32 bit version
- (ADRMNG32.ZIP). (Bata testing). I thank you all.
-
- All open program and task bar (e.g. MSOffice) should be close before
- doing the installation
