               Personal Information Explorer requires Microsoft Access
               2000 already installed.
               A MAPI Compliant email program and a valid email address.
               (Used during Registration)

Personal Information Explorer is a "Microsoft Access 2000" information
database. The database schema represents filing cabinets that contain
folders and files. The database also contains free-form memo fields,
file attachments and hyperlinks which store or link existing files from
your computer, network or Internet. A Windows Explorer like interface is
provided for easier navigation and selection. Full function report viewing
and printing is also available. The application supports both single user
and network users.

Personal Information Explorer consists of two databases. The setup
program installs the two databases to the C: drive in a designated
directory called C:\PIE. Do not move these databases to another
directory, as an absolute path reference is used to link the two
databases together (This is a requirement of Access 2000). The first
database contains only the "Microsoft Access 2000" table data. It is
linked to the second database, which contains "Microsoft Access 2000"
Queries, Forms, Reports, Macros and Modules. As new enhancements
become available for Personal Information Explorer, the second
database can be updated without disturbing the data in the first
database.

Personal Information Explorer is trialware.
The cost of registration is $30 dollars payable in US funds.
All registration data sent will be fully encrypted. A $30
payment will be processed against the credit card information you
supply or the check or money order that you send. 
Once registered, all "UNREGISTERED" report footers, "Splash" forms
and Trial Expiration messages will be eliminated.

This application may be distributed on CD-ROM, Floppy Disks, the
Internet or any electronic bulletin board. The application must be
distributed freely.

Please email the author if you want to report any errors, or to

requests.
