DESCRIPTION

First of all, thanks for using this program!

It's a little phonebook program that manages the name
,phone number, email address and home address. It also
let you send email and make a call(phone dialer). You
can only record 3 entries in the shareware version.

INSTALLATION

-If you are a new user-

Just unzip the file to a folder anywhere on your hard drive.
(Default folder is c:\My Phonebook)To run, double-click on 
"My PhoneBook".

-If you have version 2.0(DOS) or later-

My PhoneBook v2.0 or later is fully compatiable with My PhoneBook
v3.0 and above. Just copy My PhoneBook.exe to the folder where your 
previous My PhoneBook resides, My PhoneBoook v3.31 can read the 
entries you've saved.

-If you have version 1.1(DOS) up to 1.32(DOS) installed-

The data.dat file from v1.1 up to v1.32 is not compatible 
with v2.00(or later). Ya, I know it's a bummer, you'll have 
to delete the old data.dat(which you'll lose all the records) 
and run v2.00(or later). If you really don't want to lose
all you records and want to use them in v2.00, please email
me and I'd be happy to come up with a converter that converts
the old data format to the new one.

NOTE

Two data files called "data.dat" and "user.set" is generated 
by the program to store the entris. It has to be in the same 
directory as the program resides or you'll lose the records
or settings. 

EDITING DATA.DAT

Since I use a new format to store the data, you can no longer
edit DATA.DAT. You can try, but I am not responsible for the
damage.

WARNING: I don't recommend you to edit data.dat manually. You
may screw up the whole database.
