Information about “DLITE”

DLITE brings powerful dBase III application tools to RAM memory,
providing instant access to 10 powerful utilities. Applications
"pop-up" at the press of a key while you are in another program.

DLITE has a natural home in the busy office where a majority of the
computer time is spent running accounting or word-processing programs
but instant access to database files is needed for telephone queries.
It's like having a multiuser program without buying the expensive
hardware and software necessary. An expensive and comprehensive
mailing list manager comes with the package. Edit, add, select,
delete/undelete records or paste the data from any dBase III file into
spreadsheets or text files. Indexes can be altered at will.

DLITE includes three sample databases: the congressional directory, an
index of PC Magazine articles for the last three years, and a mailing
list manager.

We are pleased to introduce a unique, new ShareWare data base, dLITE. It brings
"pop-up" dBASE Power to the desktop by giving you instant access to 10 dBASE-
compatible data base applications from within your favorite foreground program!

Many popular dBASE file management functions are supported as well as a unique
"cut-and-paste" option to extract data from any dBASE data base into virtually
any text-based, foreground application. Three sample applications are included:
a full-featured mailing list manager, a Congressional directory, and a 3-year
index to PC Magazine articles.

End-users are licensed to use dLITE up to 90 days to determine whether it meets
their needs. After 90 days, end-users must discontinue using the ShareWare copy
and (1) destroy the software, (2) give it to a non-related friend, or (3) pay
the required $25 license fee.  Those who include a shipping and handling fee of
$5 (in U.S) or $10 (foreign) will receive the Developer's Version and softbound
dLITE Developer's Guide by return mail at no additional cost.

ShareWare distributors are licensed to distribute dLITE to end-users subject to
the following conditions.  dLITE must be distributed on a single floppy in the
form received.  A copying fee not to exceed $10 may be charged so long as the
end-user is informed that this fee neither enriches nor otherwise constitutes
payment of the required licensing fee to the developer, Ward Mundy Software.

PLEASE read the dLITE documentation before you proceed any further.  This is
for your own safety!!!  To print the documentation:

  (1)  Turn on your printer.

  (2)  Insert the dLITE distribution diskette in Drive A.

  (3)  Type the following DOS command:  A:DLITE10 -P DLITE.DOC

If you have trouble printing the documentation or installing dLITE, type the
following DOS command to verify that your diskette is undamaged:  A:DLITE10 /T

This ShareWare version of dLITE also includes two additional applications:

  (1)  CONGRESS.EXE is a self-unarchiving application which includes
       the complete 1988 Congressional directory.  Once unarchived,
       print out the CONGRESS.DOC file for additional documentation.

  (2)  PCMAG.EXE is a self-unarchiving application which includes a
       complete index to all articles in the 1985, 1986, and 1987
       editions of PC Magazine.  Once unarchived, print out PCMAG.DOC.

Both of these applications should be unarchived in the same directory which
houses the dLITE program.  And, this directory should be in your DOS PATH.

To unarchive these two application, change to the directory housing dLITE
and type A:CONGRESS.  Then type A:PCMAG.

As distributed, the CONGRESS application is activated by pressing ALT-2. And
the PCMAG application is activated by pressing ALT-3.  The documentation files
identified above contain instructions for changing these "hot-keys."

And finally, REMEMBER:

  Your financial support encourages development of reasonably-priced software!
