     Introduction
     

     instantADDRESS is a memory-resident program which allows you to
     capture an address directly from the screen and print it to a label or
     envelope. The following is a partial list of its features:

           instantADDRESS scans the screen for possible addresses.






           An optional comment line can be scanned for on the screen. For
            example, if you would like to include "ATTN: name of person" at
            the end of each address, instantADDRESS can find the line
            anywhere on the screen and print it.

           Print an address in as few as two keystrokes.

           Print multiple copies of an address.

           Printer initialization and finishing strings can be specified
            for customized installations.

           Accessible from most text-mode programs.

           instantADDRESS can be removed from memory at any time.

           Supports EGA and VGA 43 and 50 line text modes.

           Uses only 5K bytes of memory when resident (8.5K for Shareware
            version).

           Works with all printers.

           Works with all 100% IBM-compatible computers.


     Printing the Manual
     

     The instantADDRESS User's Guide will be approximately 35 pages long
     when printed. Also, the maximum length of its pages is 59 lines, this
     allows it to be printed on all printers including laser printers
     limited to 60 lines-per-page.

     The document contains IBM graphics characters (like "", "", and
     ""). If your printer cannot print these characters, use the program
     PRINTEXT.COM included with the instantADDRESS package to convert these
     characters into printable versions (like "|", "+", and "#"). For
     example type the following to print the User's Manual to LPT1:

          PRINTEXT INSTADDR.DOC /C

     Because of these characters, you should use a fixed-pitch font (not
     proportionally spaced) for proper printing of the diagrams.






     Installation
     

     instantADDRESS should be installed on your boot-disk so that is loaded
     into memory each time the computer is restarted.

     Follow these steps to install instantADDRESS on a floppy diskette:

          1. Insert the instantADDRESS distribution diskette into your
             computer's diskette drive.

             This installation procedure will assume that drive A: contains
             the instantADDRESS distribution diskette and that drive B: is
             the destination drive where the files will be installed.

          2. Type the following command to copy the files from the
             distribution disk.

               COPY A:*.* B: and press <Enter>

             If your system is equipped with one drive, you will be
             prompted to swap diskettes several times (you may wish to use
             XCOPY instead to reduce the amount of swapping required).


     Follow these steps to install instantADDRESS on a hard-drive:

          1. Insert the instantADDRESS diskette into your computer's
             diskette drive.

          2. Log onto the hard-disk drive, for example if it is drive C:
             then type:

               C: and press <Enter>

          3. Create a new directory for the instantADDRESS distribution
             files by entering the following command:

               MD \ADDRESS and press <Enter>

          4. Change to the newly created directory by typing:

               CD \ADDRESS and press <Enter>

          5. Copy the files from the distribution disk to the new
             directory:

               COPY A:*.* and press <Enter>






     Quick Start
     

     The instantADDRESS package includes a menu-driven batch file,
     INTRO.BAT, which can be used to print the documentation and load
     instantADDRESS into memory. To run the INTRO program, just type the
     following at the DOS prompt:

          INTRO and press <Enter>

     If you would rather just load the program immediately, type the
     following:

          INSTADDR and press <Enter>

     instantADDRESS will display a list of command-line options and tell
     you that it is installed in memory and the cursor should have changed
     to a large block.
