- ----------------
-
- The InContext(TM) Work Environment Manager improves your personal
- productivity by helping you organize, manage, and execute the work
- you do on your computer. InContext organizes your computer around
- your work habits, rather than the other way around.
-
- On top of a unique, object-oriented DOS shell, InContext provides
- well-integrated task planning and calendar management. It provides
- extremely powerful and rapid techniques for moving among directories,
- selecting files, and encapsulating and launching applications. InCon-
- text derives a great deal of power from the smooth integration of
- these various aspects of computer-based work.
-
- InContext is easy to use with mouse and/or keyboard. Its basic
- capabilities are readily useable by novices, but it provides a level
- of control and sophistication that will please the expert.
-
- InContext includes an extensive hypertext-based help system and on-
- line tutorial. ASP shareware.
-
-
- Intended User
- -------------
-
- InContext will be beneficial especially to three kinds of user:
-
- o Moderately or highly experienced users who use their com-
- puters for multiple purposes or applications.
-
- o Relatively inexperienced users who want a single work en-
- vironment which will provide basic capabilities, but will
- "grow" as they learn more about PCs and DOS.
-
- o Experienced personnel who wish to set up computer-based work
- environments for other users, regardless of the experience
- level of those users. The users may be family members, office
- colleagues, clients of consultants, or users of PCs supported
- by an MIS department. Under these circumstances, InContext
- provides much more power and flexibility than other ap-
- plicable approaches.

- Preferred File Names for BBSs, Disk Collections

-
-
- INCX100D.ZIP InContext Work Environment Manager v1.00 Documents
-
- INCX100P.ZIP InContext Work Environment Manager v1.00 Programs
-
-
- If the programs and documentation are contained in a single ar-
- chive file, please use the following name:
-
- INCXT100.ZIP InContext Work Environment Manager v1.00
-
-
- If the package is compressed using some other file compression
- method, then please use the indicated filename prefixes with
- appropriate extensions (PAK, ARC, LZH, etc.).
-
-
- Special Packaging Requirement
- -----------------------------
-
- InContext is packaged in a somewhat unusual way. Even if the package
- comes in ZIP archive form, it contains the LHA archive/compression
- program (version 2.11), and several LHA archive files (filename
- extension "LZH"). This is done because InContext uses LHA at run
- time, and accesses some materials directly from these archives. LHA
- may not be removed from this package, except by special permission.
