This version 1.5 brings you new options to change the scroll speed, you can edit existing records from anywhere in the program, so the print feature can be called out regardless where you are in the program. WHO & WHAT has now full mouse and keyboard support. We have also responded to your demands and added two new features. The first one is a delete feature (see Delete) and the second one is a password protection (see Password). Before you start please review all information contained in this HELP file. This file will tell you not only about the program itself, but also about system requirements (see also Hardware requirements), about Shareware concept (see topic What is Shareware) and it also contains information on condi- tions of using this program and registering it How to register. The program has been written for DOS users. However, it can also be run from Windows. To START WHO & WHAT just type "WW" and press Enter. .TOPIC: Opening screen Opening screen contains the main menu and upper menu bar. Upper menu bar allows you to choose from five scroll speed options and make your choice default, you can also set displayed date format to either Day/Month/Year format, or Month/Day/Year format or Year/Month/Day format as well as set displayed time format to either 12 hour format or 24 hour format. The bar menu can be activated either by pressing the ALT key, or simply click with the mouse over an item. Lower command buttons allow you to add new records, find records, to automatically scroll down data, and print all records. .TOPIC: Password This new feature will protect you against unauthorized access to your data. The protection certainly is an optional, you can set it at any time and cancel it at any time. But please remember, once set, you must enter the password to cancel it. It is impossible to get access to your data without entering the right password, as well as change or cancel the password protection, once the password protection has been set. And one more thing. The password protection is a case sensitive, other words, your password, say 'Evergreen' is not the same as 'evergreen' .TOPIC: Add new This feature allows you to enter new record. Built-in editor supports all commands necessary for easy entering. These are as follows: Arrow key Right ... Moves right 1 space Arrow key Left ... Moves left 1 space Arrow key Up ... Moves 1 line up Arrow key Down ... Moves 1 line down Backspace ... Moves and deletes 1 space left left End ... Moves to end of text in line Home ... Moves to beginning of text in line Page Down ... Moves to end of record Page Up ... Moves to beginning of record Insert ... Selects overwrite or insert mode (default is overwrite) Space ... Moves and deletes 1 space right Shift ... Selects uppercase Delete ... Deletes 1 space right Enter ... Accepts each entry To save record, press F1 key. The number of records you can add to the database is only limited by your computer memory capacity. .TOPIC: Edit If you want to change the displayed record, click the mouse over the Edit option and the program will call up editor. Its supported commands are identical to Add option. Arrow key Right ... Moves right 1 space Arrow key Left ... Moves left 1 space Arrow key Up ... Moves 1 line up Arrow key Down ... Moves 1 line down Backspace ... Moves and deletes 1 space left left End ... Moves to end of text in line Home ... Moves to beginning of text in line Page Down ... Moves to end of record Page Up ...

Deletes 1 space right Enter ... Accepts each entry Saving the edited record is done automatically when you leave the editor. .TOPIC: Delete This option removes unwanted record from the list of records. If you want just swap the old record for a new one, you can use Edit and simply everwrite the old record with a new one. .TOPIC: Find This option allows you to find any record by entering search string. Find will search all record fields except the Note because information quantity in this field could cause unwanted and unrelated display of records. If there is more than one record with identical string, the Find option will display the first one for you and built-in submenu give you an option to search for the next match. You will be given a message if there is no other match. The found record can be either just displayed, or you can call out editor to make changes to the record, you can also have it printed. Searching is very fast. .TOPIC: Hardware requirements IBM compatible 286 or better EGA/VGA monitor 350kB free conventional memory DOS 5.0 or better printer optional These are requirements needed for an efficient running of Who & What. That does not mean that the program will not satisfactorily run under lower configuration. .TOPIC: What is Shareware Shareware is an exciting marketing method which allows you to try top-quality software before you pay the author. With share- ware, you cannot be disappointed spending money for a program that's not right for you. The small fee you pay to a Shareware distributor does not cover the cost of the program itself. If you continue to use the program, you must send the author an additional payment which may entitle you to technical support, and other benefits. This is termed Registration (see How to register). Each evaluation copy is supplied to you "on approval" for the period of 21 days. After that time you are obliged either to register the program or stop using it. Copying or using the program without paying for it, except as provided above, is a breach of copyright. Each evaluation copy is fully working, it is not limited in any way and no features of the registered version have been omitted. The only difference between evaluation and the registered version are the closing and opening screen that will be removed in registered version.
