This document contains only a very brief description of the package, along with instructions for its installation. A somewhat more detailed description is contained in the DESCRIBE.DOC text file. Quite detailed documentation is in- cluded in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more easily read after installation. InContext is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see LICENSE.DOC for more details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.DOC for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution services, rather than a pay- ment for continued use of the program. Brief Description of InContext ------------------------------ The InContext(TM) Work Environment Manager improves your personal productivity by helping you organize, manage, and execute the work you do on your computer. On top of a unique, object-oriented DOS shell, InContext provides well-integrated task planning and calendar management. InContext organizes your computer around your work habits, rather than the other way around. It provides extremely powerful and rapid techniques for moving among directories, selecting files, and launching applications. It is easy to use with mouse and/or keyboard. It includes an extensive hypertext-based help system and on-line tutorial. ASP shareware. Required Configuration ---------------------- Requires IBM PC or compatible, 512K RAM, a hard disk, and DOS 3.0 or above.

Read-Me.DOC -3- Mar 1991 InContext Version 1.00 Summary and Installation +--------------------------------------+ | HOW TO INSTALL AND START THE PROGRAM | +--------------------------------------+ The installation procedure for InContext is quite simple. The package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the entire process. You will also need about 1M of available disk space on the hard drive on which you plan to install InContext. After the instal- lation, you can implement space-saving measures to substantially reduce the amount of continuing disk space used by InContext, if you like. The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received InContext. Installing from Diskette(s) --------------------------- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps. o Place InContext distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the ap- propriate diskette drive. o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette. For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type the MS-DOS command, "a:install". o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the InContext files to that directory. If you received InContext on two diskettes, you will need to insert Disk 2 in the diskette drive when asked to do so. If you so direct it, the installation program will install executable programs and documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys files. Installing from a Hard Drive ---------------------------- If you downloaded InContext from a BBS (or received it in the form of archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the following steps. Read-Me.DOC -4- Mar 1991 InContext Version 1.00 Summary and Installation o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this varies, depending on the form in which you received the package. In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain directions for this from the same source from which you received the package. o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For example, if the temporary directory into which you have ex- tracted the InContext package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS command, "c:\tempdir\install". o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the InContext files to that directory. If you so direct it, the installation program will install executable programs and documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys files. o When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed InContext (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents. You're Ready To Go ------------------ Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the docu- ments (filename extension "doc") which have been installed. In par- ticular, read at least the "Overview" and "Quick Start" sections of the file "INCONTXT.DOC". That document will tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you other information you need to properly evaluate InContext. We hope you enjoy the program. Read-Me.DOC -5- Mar 1991
