 Under this license you may distribute the Cumberland Diary program as

 which is sent to registered users. You may not distribute the program
 with any other product or service.  It is intended for the private   
 use of individuals only.  You may not charge anything when           
 distributing the shareware version with the exception that computer  
 user groups, shareware vendors and BBS's may charge a fee not to     
 exceed $10.00 to cover their own costs of distribution.  This program
 may not be distributed in modified form, meaning that all files must 
 be distributed with the program and must not have been modified.

.                          ABOUT THIS MANUAL                          
                                                                      
 This manual is broken down into five sections.  You may wish to skip 
 several sections for now, but you may find it useful to eventually   
 read all of them as the need arises. I would suggest that you do read
 through the Tutorial Section, even if you do not follow the example. 
 The Tutorial Section will give you a good idea of the function of all
 options in the program and how best to use them.  The longest        
 section, the Detailed Reference Section might best be read as        
 questions arise on using certain parts of the program.               
                                                                      
 Section 1: Installation and Quick Start                              
    Contains installation instructions and directions for quickly     
    starting and using the program.                                   
                                                                      
 Section 2: Tutorial                                                  
    Contains a Tutorial with an example for using the main options and
    functions of the program.                                         
                                                                      
 Section 3: Detailed Reference                                        
    Contains detailed instructions of every option contained in the   
    program.                                                          
                                                                      
 Section 4: DOS for Beginners                                         
    Was written for the beginning computer user.  This section will   
    give you a quick grounding and overview on DOS, the Disk Operating
    System.                                                           
                                                                      
 Section 5: Notes on Keeping a Diary                                  
    Was written to give you general ideas on keeping a diary or       
    journal.

.                           ACKNOWLEDGMENTS                           
                                                                      
 It would be very difficult for me to remember everything that so many
 people have helped me with.  Many of my users have given me many     
 ideas. But I do need to mention a few.                               
                                                                      
 I must recognize John Hancock, a co-worker of mine at The Trane      
 Company (manufacturer of air-conditioners).  He was the one who got  
 me interested in releasing my first product, Cumberland Family Tree, 
 as shareware in the very beginning.                                  
                                                                      
 I greatly appreciate the help offered to me on improving this latest 
 version by Pete Richardsen, Richmond, Virginia and Rod Donahoe,      
 Cricklade, Wiltshire, England.  I've lost count of the number of     
 times Rod has called me all the way from England to discuss the      
 program and offer encouragement.                                     
                                                                      
 In a very general way let me say thanks to all of you who have used  
 my early versions and have sent me money which has encouraged me to  
 continue this endeavor. You have been a great encouragement to me.   
                                                                      
 And last, but not least, without the patience of my wife and six     
 children during the months when I seemed huddled up with my computer 
 all evening, I would have been unable to complete this program.      
                                                                      
.---------------------------------------------------------------------
.                        THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT                        
                       Try it before you buy it!                      
                                                                      
 This program is offered under the shareware distribution concept.    
 This means that you are free to copy that version and are encouraged 
 to make copies of it for your friends, but you are requested to pay a
 REGISTRATION FEE. If you received a disk from a shareware distributor
 who charged $3 to $5, you have only paid a DISTRIBUTION/HANDLING FEE 
 to copy and produce a disk of which NO PORTION goes to the author of 
 the software.                                                        
                                                                      
 You are encouraged to pay the final REGISTRATION FEE which goes to   
 the author of this software.  This fee is also a matter of good      
 conscience.  The idea is that if the program is useful, you become a 
 registered user of the program.  Under the license agreement, you are
 permitted to evaluate this program for a period of 30 days.  After   
 that time you are required to register the program and pay the       
 registration fee or cease using the program.                         
                                                                      
 A number of benefits are available to register users.  They include: 
                                                                      
 1. A copy of the latest version of Cumberland Diary.                 
                                                                      
 2. A printed manual with additional sections not found in the        
    shareware CDMANUAL.TXT or on-line help. These additional sections 
    include: DOS for Beginners, and Notes on Keeping a Diary.         
                                                                      
 3. A shareware copy of Cumberland Software's other two Family History
    programs, Cumberland Family Tree and Cumberland Story.            
                                                                      
 4. A registration discount of $5.00 each for the other two programs  
    if you decide to use and register them!                           
                                                                      
 5. After business hours telephone support for the registered         
    program(s).                                                       
                                                                      
 6. Future updates will be offered to registered users at substantial 
    discounts.                                                        
                                                                      
 7. Automatic notice of updates and new releases offered by Cumberland
    Software.

.=====================================================================
                                                                      
.CHAPTER 1.  INSTALLATION                                             
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
.A. HARDWARE AND DOS REQUIREMENTS                                     
                                                                      
 This program requires an IBM compatible computer.  It runs okay on a 
 286 computer, but will do much better on a 386 or faster.            
                                                                      
 A hard drive is almost essential. The program and associated data    
 files together may fit on a 1.2M or 1.44 M floppy disk. But you would
 need to be careful that the data files do not grow too large for the 
 diskette.                                                            
                                                                      
 640K of RAM (Memory) is required!  Most people who have 640K RAM will
 have enough free memory to run this program. If you get any unusual  
 errors then check the Appendix on Error Messages.                    
                                                                      
 Almost all printers are supported by this software.  The printer     
 configuration strings for many major printer brand are readily       
 available with the printer select option.                            
                                                                      
 DOS 3.0 and up is recommended. This program will also run well under 
 Windows 3.1 and above.                                               
                                                                      
.B. INSTALLING THE PROGRAM                                            
                                                                      
 From the Cumberland Diary diskette simply type INSTALL at the DOS    
 prompt and follow directions.  The Install procedure will check to   
 see if you have enough available hard disk space. It will then un-   
 compress the files (which are in compressed LHZ archived self-       
 extracting files) and install them in the selected directory.  Do not
 create the directory before installation. The install procedure will 
 only install the program in a directory which it creates.  You will  
 also be warned about modifying your CONFIG.SYS file as explained     
 below.                                                               
                                                                      
 You must add or edit the following lines of your CONFIG.SYS file in  
 the root directory and re-boot to run this program:                  
                                                                      
                     FILES=40                                         
                     BUFFERS=20                                       
                                                                      
 After the CONFIG.SYS file has been edited, you must re-boot the      
 computer before the changes will take effect.                        
                                                                      
 Check the README file for a list of files contained on the           
 distribution diskette.  See "The Database Structure" in the Tutorial 
 Section for a list of the files which will appear on your hard drive 
 after the program has been installed.

.C. CONFIGURING FOR WINDOWS                                           
                                                                      
 After you have installed Cumberland Diary as explained above, then   
 start Windows as you normally would. Open one of the Groups where you
 wish to install Cumberland Diary (such as the "Main" Group.) Select  
 the File pull-down menu from the Program Manager.  Select "New" and  
 highlight "Program Item".  You will now see a screen where you can   
 enter the following information:                                     
                                                                      
          Description:  Cumberland Diary                              
         Command Line:  CDIARY                                        
          Working Dir:  C:\DIARY  (or other directory you defined     
                       during installation.)                          
                                                                      
      You can select the "Change Icon" button and choose an Icon from 
 the Program Manager. Press OK on all screens until you are back to   
 the main Window, where you should now see the Icon and Cumberland    
 Diary program within your selected Group. To run simply double click 
 on the Icon as you would any other program. Cumberland Diary does not
 support a mouse.  It is a DOS program and once you are in the program
 you should operate it as a DOS program.                              
                                                                      
.D. UPGRADING FROM CUMBERLAND DIARY VERSION 1.1                       
                                                                      
 There are a three files which have changed record layout since       
 Cumberland Diary Version 1.1. To upgrade you must follow these steps:
                                                                      
 1. Backup all diaries which you have created under Version 1.1.  You 
    can use the copy command at the DOS prompt. For example, if I were
    in a sub-directory called C:\DIARY and had a diary named GEORGE, I
    would back that diary up with a blank disk in Drive A: by entering
    the following command: COPY GEORGE*.* A: The following files will 
    be copied to Drive A:                                             
                                                                      
      GEORGEA.DAT       Author and Diary Title File                   
      GEORGEE.DAT       Entry Definition File                         
      GEORGEX.DAT       Text File                                     
      GEORGEE.K01       Entry Key File #1                             
      GEORGEE.K02       Entry Key File #2                             
      GEORGEX.K01       Text Key File                                 
                                                                      
 2. Delete all files in the CDIARY sub-directory.  If my sub-directory
    is called DIARY I would issue the following DOS command: DEL      
    C:\DIARY\*.*  Be careful when deleting using wildcards. Make      
    certain you are deleting what you intend to delete.  You should   
    also remove the directory by entering the following command from  
    the root directory: RD\DIARY .                                    
                                                                      
 3. Install the new Version 1.2 as though it were a first time        
    installation.  With the new Version 1.2 diskette in Drive A:      
    change to the A drive and enter INSTALL .                         
                                                                      
 4. Start CDIARY and create new diaries, with same exact name as the  
    diaries which you backed up.  For example, I would create a new   
    diary called GEORGE.                                              
                                                                      
 5. Restore your backed-up diaries, making certain not to overwrite   
    CDIARY.CFG and ??????A.DAT . Since you did not backup CDIARY.CFG  
    there should be no problem with that file. However, to avoid      
    restoring ?????A.DAT I would delete the file GEORGEA.DAT on the   
    backup diskette in drive A: by issuing the following command: DEL 
    A:GEORGEA.DAT  Then I would copy the rest of the files from Drive 
    A to my sub-directory with the following command: COPY A:GEORGE*.*
    C:\DIARY . (If some other name is used for the sub-directory, make
    sure you use the appropriate name.)                               
                                                                      
 6. You should now be able to recall all of your diaries. However, you
    will need to re-enter the information in the Define Diary option  
    under the F2-File menu.

 Cumberland Diary is a shareware application program designed to help 
 you keep an organized diary or journal.  Headings can be entered with
 each entry and searches made by date or by heading.                  
                                                                      
 Visually attractive pop-up menus allow you to always know where you  
 are and where you came from in the program.  The simple pop-up       
 screens make this program appear to be much simpler than it really   
 is.                                                                  
                                                                      
 The word processor incorporated in this program is very easy to use. 
 It contains cut-and-paste features, and a 60,000 word Spelling       
 Checker Dictionary is available to registered users.                 
                                                                      
 Cumberland Diary gives you a few ideas on keeping a diary or journal 
 in the section "Notes on Keeping a Diary".  Entries can be           
 transferred to Cumberland Story to be included in the story of your  
 life.

      The following list of keys contain explanations of their valid  
 use in all screens except the wordprocessor. Keys used in the        
 wordprocessor will be explained in the chapter on the wordprocessor.

 Left arrow : Move one character at a time in entry screens, or moves 
              between pull-down menus.                                
     End key: Jump to last character in field or last item on a menu. 
    Home key: Jump to first character in a field or first item on a   
              menu.                                                   
 Control-End: Erase from the present character to end of field.       
      Insert: Toggles between insert and over-write mode. This key is 
              also used sometimes to add an item to a list in some    
              screens.                                                
   Backspace: Deletes the character to the left of the cursor.        
  Delete key: Deletes the character at the cursor in fields. This key 
              also deletes entries in some lists.  For example the    
              delete key will delete the individual you are pointing  
              at on the main screen.  You will be asked to verify the 
              deletion before it occurs, however.                     
   Enter-key: Causes the program to accept the entry and move to the

.CHAPTER 3.  DATA ENTRY                                               
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
.Step  1. Start the Program                                           
                                                                      
 Start the program from the CDIARY sub-directory (or sub-directory    
 created during installation) by entering "CDIARY".                   
                                                                      
.A. CONFIGURATION                                                     
                                                                      
.Step  2. Create your Diary                                           
                                                                      
 Upon first starting the program, you will be presented with the      
 "Select Diary" screen.  There is a sample diary called "GEORGE" which
 you can select and use as a test before actually creating your own   
 diary. However, this tutorial will assume that you want to begin by  
 creating your own diary. So press the insert key to add a new diary  
 while you are at the "Select Diary" screen.                          
                                                                      
 Enter a diary name, such as your first name.  You may enter a name up
 to 7 characters long. (No spaces are allowed.) You will prompted for 
 a password. If you do not desire a password, then leave the field    
 blank. DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSWORD!                                  
                                                                      
 The name of the current diary will now appear in the upper right     
 corner of the main screen.                                           
                                                                      
.Step 3. Set Program Configuration                                    
                                                                      
 Before entering any information you should first set the program     
 configuration by pulling down the F2-File menu and selecting "Program
 Configuration".                                                      
                                                                      
 There are three options you must set. These options need only be set 
 once. They will remain the same even with new diaries. You do not    
 need to reset them when you create new diaries.                      
                                                                      
 First you need to select your printer. Press enter while the         
 "Printer" selection is highlighted.  There is a list of about 20 pre-
 programmed printers which you can choose from. If your printer is not
 in this list you may try one of the listed printers or you can set up
 your own printer. To include your own printer and codes see the      
 section on "Program Configuration" in the Detailed Reference Section 
 of this manual.  By pressing enter at the desired printer, you will  
 brought back to the Program Configuration screen with the desired    
 printer shown.                                                       
                                                                      
 The next option to set is the printer port. If you do not know what  
 port your printer is using, try LPT1, as that is by far the most     
 common printer port.  You will need to see you printer and computer  
 manual to determine if you use the other ports.                      
                                                                      
 Now you should select the country code. This code is the printer code
 which is sent to your printer which allows printing of special       
 letters which do not appear in the normal U.S. printer codes.        
                                                                      
.Step 4. Define Your Diary                                            
                                                                      
 Select the "Define Diary" Option from the F2-File Menu. Here you     
 enter your name, address and Diary Title.  When you exit (with the   
 escape key) this option and the F2-File menu, you will notice that   
 your title, name and the database name will appear at the top left of
 the screen.  The title and name will also print on the title page    
 from the F5-Print Menu.                                              
                                                                      
.B. CREATING AND ENTERING AN ENTRY                                    
                                                                      
.Step 5. Changing the Name of the First Entry.                        
                                                                      
 You will notice that when you created a new diary that there was one 
 entry automatically created with a heading name of XXXXXXX. You can  
 change this entry name by Pressing F4-Entry and selecting the Select 
 Entry by Heading or Date.  From the Entry selection screen you will  
 notice that you can highlight any entry and press the F3 key to edit 
 that entry's date and heading. You should now do this to the first   
 entry in preparation for entering information.                       
                                                                      
.Step 6. Entering Information into the Diary Entry.                   
                                                                      
 From the main screen you can now begin typing in your diary. The     
 appropriate method is type straight through, a paragraph at a time.  
 You will notice that words will wrap to the next line. Put carriage  
 returns (return key or enter key) at the end of paragraphs only.  You
 can also use the Tab key to indent 5 spaces.                         
                                                                      
.Step 7. Creating a Second Entry                                      
                                                                      
 Whenever you start the diary program, it will always open your diary 
 to the entry closest to the current date. To create a new entry,     
 simply press the F4 key to bring the Entry Menu down and select the  
 option "Create a New Entry". You will notice that you could also have
 pressed Ctrl-E to create a new entry. You will be prompted for the   
 date and heading name. After pressing F9 to accept you can begin     
 entering text into the new entry which will immediately be made      
 current.                                                             
                                                                      
.C. PRINTING REPORTS                                                  
                                                                      
.Step 8. Print a Title Page                                           
                                                                      
 To print the title page, press F5 to pull down the reports menu.     
 Select "Print Title" and from the Print Title Screen press F8 to     
 print the report.  The title page uses the information entered at the
 "Define Diary" option on the F2-Edit Menu.                           
                                                                      
.Step 9. Print Individual Entries                                     
                                                                      
 Select "Choose Entries by Date" or "Choose Entries by Heading" from  
 the F5-Print Menu. Select the beginning entry by highlighting the    
 desired entry and pressing the return key. Then select the ending    
 entry by the same process. At the next screen, enter the beginning   
 page number (usually page 1). Then press F8 to send the report to the
 printer. You may select to print each entry on a seperate page if    
 desired.                                                             
                                                                      
.Step 10. Print a Table of Contents                                   
                                                                      
 After you have printed the individual entries, then select the       
 "Contents by Date" or "Contents by Heading" depending on the         
 selection you chose in Step 8. You will be presented with a Table of 
 Contents. Using the printed entry sheets, enter the appropriate page 
 numbers into the Table of Contents and press F3 when finished.  At   
 the next screen you then press F8 to print the report.               
                                                                      
.CHAPTER 4.  SUMMARY OF SPECIAL FEATURES                              
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                      
 There are several other features included with Cumberland Diary which
 are fully explained in the Detailed Reference Section of this manual.
 Let me quickly outline what they are so that you are aware of the    
 program's capabilities. As you find that you are in need of them you 
 can then learn more about them.                                      
                                                                      
 1. The BookMark.                                                     
    Using the bookmark feature, you can mark any entry in your diary. 
    Then at any other time you can quickly jump to that entry by      
    selecting the "Get Bookmark" option from the F3-Edit Menu.        
                                                                      
 2. Cut and Paste features.                                           
    The word processor has cut and paste features which allow you to  
    remove any amount of words or paragraphs and paste them elsewhere 
    in the same or another entry. You can also copy any amount of     
    words, sentences or paragraphs using this feature. See the chapter
    in the Reference Section on using the cut and paste features.     
                                                                      
 3. The Spell Checker. (Registered users only.)                       
    With the spell checker you can check the spelling of the word at  
    the cursor or check the spelling on the entire document.          
                                                                      
 4. ASCII Import.  (Registered users only.) The ASCII Import feature  
    allows you to import ASCII text which you can create from another 
    commercial word processor. The imported text can be placed in any 
    entry in your diary.

.CHAPTER 5.  THE HELP SYSTEM                                          
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                      
 The first three sections of the printed manual are contained in these
 Help Screens: Installation, Tutorial, and Detailed Reference.  The   
 DOS for Beginners and Notes on Keeping a Diary are not included in   
 these Help Screens.  The Help System works by opening a screen into  
 the on-disk manual called CDMANUAL.TXT. The Help System is context   
 sensitive. It opens the text file to the location explaining the     
 option you are currently using.  There are also three help options to
 help you find the information and help you need.                     
                                                                      
 1. F2-INDEX. This option opens a pop-up window with a list of indexed
    topics. The topics are entered alphabetically and you can quickly 
    find what you are interested in by beginning to type the name of  
    the topic. As the letters you type appear at the top of the       
    window, the list will automatically scroll to the nearest         
    alphabetical location in the list. You may also page-up and page- 
    down. Use the arrow keys to select your topic and press the enter 
    key to select it. The on-line Manual-Help System will immediately 
    open to the appropriate location.                                 
                                                                      
 2. F3-LINE. This option allows you to enter the line number in the   
    help text file which you wish to quickly go to.                   
                                                                      
 3. F4-SEARCH. You may press F4 and enter any word.  The Help System  
    will search the manual for the word entered, beginning at the     
    current location.  If the word is found it will display the page  
    with the word highlighted.  If the word id not found then the     
    small search screen will go away and no change will take place.   
                                                                      
.CHAPTER 6.  THE MAIN SCREEN                                          
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                      
 The most prominent feature of the main screen is the word processor  
 which is described in the next chapter.  In the upper right corner of
 the screen will appear your diary title, your name and the name of   
 the current diary. Immediately above the word processor is a line    
 which shows the currently active entry date, time, day of the week,  
 and heading.  In the lower right is shown the date of the entry where
 the bookmark has been set to. In the lower left is shown the current 
 line number the curser is on in the text screen and whether you are  
 in insert or overwrite mode.                                         
                                                                      
 The following keys can be used in most entry screens when data is    
 entered. (See next chapter for keys used in the word processor.)     
                                                                      
    Right arrow/                                                      
     left arrow: moving one character at a time                       
        End key: Jump to last character in field                      
       Home key: Jump to first character in field                     
    Control-End: Erase from present position to end                   
         Insert: Toggles between insert and over-write modes.         
                 (In insert mode cursor is larger,                    
                 in overwrite mode cursor is smaller.)                
      Enter-key: Causes the program to accept the entry and to prompt 
                 for the next field. No entry will be accepted unless 
                 the enter-key has been pressed.

.CHAPTER 7.  THE WORD PROCESSOR                                       
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                      
 The word processor consists of 16 lines at the bottom of the screen. 
 The appropriate method of writing is to type continuously without    
 carriage returns at the end of lines. The computer will automatically
 wrap a word down to the next line if it will not fit on the current  
 line. Carriage returns (enter key or return key) are entered at the  
 end of paragraphs only. You may enter more than one carriage return  
 to put spaces between paragraphs.                                    
                                                                      
 The following keys are used during use of the word processor.        
     All alpha-numeric and typable symbols.                           
     Left and Right Arrow keys - Moves one character to the left or   
                                 right, as appropriate.               
     Up and Down Arrow keys    - Moves up or down one line.           
     Home key                  - Moves to the first character in the  
                                 current line.                        
     End key                   - Moves to the last character in the   
                                 current line.                        
     Ctrl-Home (hold Ctrl and press Home Key)                         
                               - Moves to the first line and character
                                 of the current entry.                
     Ctrl-End  (hold Ctrl and press End Key)

     Del key                   - Deletes the letter at the current    
                                 cursor location.                     
                                                                      
 The word processor in CUMBERLAND DIARY also contains a cut-and-paste 
 feature which is explained in the chapter explaining F3-Edit.        
                                                                      
.CHAPTER 8.  F2-FILE MENU                                             
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                      
 The six function keys, F2 through F7, are pull down menus. Once one  
 menu is pulled-down, you can rotate between the menus using the right
 and left arrow keys. Notice that some menu items have short-cut keys 
 shown to the right of the menu item, usually control keys.  These    
 items can be accessed with the appropriate key without accessing the 
 pull-down menu.                                                      
                                                                      
.A. DEFINE DIARY                                                      
                                                                      
 The Define Diary Editor is the access to the author name, address and
 diary title.  All of this information is printed on the Title Page.  
 The Author Name and Diary Title are also displayed on the main       
 screen.                                                              
                                                                      
.B. CHANGE PASSWORD                                                   
                                                                      
 This option will allow you to change the password of the current     
 diary, or add a password to the current diary if it does not         
 currently have one.  In order to change the password you must enter  
 the current password and the new password. If the current password is
 entered incorrectly, the password will not be changed.               
                                                                      
.C. SELECT DIARY                                                      
                                                                      
 This option is not only accessed by the F2-File menu but is always   
 presented upon entering the diary program.                           
                                                                      
 This option shows a screen with a list of currently defined diaries. 
 Just point and press enter to select the diary to work on.  After    
 selecting a diary you will be prompted for the password, if there was
 one assigned.  You must enter the correct password before the program
 will open the files for that diary.  If you have forgotten your      
 password and are a registered user of CUMBERLAND DIARY, call         
 Cumberland Software for help. Without the password, you will never be
 able to recover your diary since all data has been encrypted and is  
 inaccessible by any other program.                                   
                                                                      
 You may create a new diary using the F2-Add Diary option.  When      
 adding a diary you will also be prompted to enter a password.  If you
 do not want the diary to be password protected then simply leave the 
 password field blank.  DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSWORD!  All diaries,    
 whether password protected or not, are automatically encrypted.      
                                                                      
 You may also delete a diary. Point to the diary to be deleted and    
 press the Del-key. You will be asked to confirm the deletion before  
 it is deleted. BE CAREFUL! Once a diary has been deleted, it is gone 
 forever.                                                             
                                                                      
.D. PROGRAM CONFIGURATION                                             
                                                                      
.i. General Information                                               
                                                                      
 In this option you will configure a group of 3 options which only    
 need be set once, no matter how many databases you set up.  To set   
 any option, simply point to it and press the enter key. Each option  
 will be described below, temporarily skipping the "Printer" option,  
 as it is will take the longest time to explain.                      
                                                                      
 You set the printer port and the printer country code by simply      
 selecting from the options presented.  If you do not know what your  
 printer port is, it is probably LPT1.                                
                                                                      
 In order for the printer country codes to work properly, the         
 appropriate country code for your printer must be set in the printer 
 definition as explained below. Almost all of the pre-configured      
 printers sent with the program already have properly set country     
 codes.                                                               
                                                                      
.ii. Printer Definition                                               
                                                                      
 You may simply select one of the pre-programmed printers from the    
 selection list included with the program. If your printer is not in  
 the included list, you might try using an Epson printer if you have a
 dot matrix printer or an HP Laserjet if you have a laser printer, as 
 these two are the industry standards and many other printer          
 manufacturers will make their printer codes compatible with these two
 printers.                                                            
                                                                      
 If you find that you must add a printer of your own, simply press the
 insert key.  You will see a new printer added with the same name as  
 the printer you were pointing at - with a small "z" after the name.  
 Point at this new printer and press F3. Under this new screen you can
 change the name of the printer and add all of the appropriate setup  
 strings. You might wish to view some of the included printer setup   
 strings to get an idea of how to enter the codes. You must enter     
 ASCII codes in arrow brackets, such as <15>.  You may enter several  
 ASCII codes in one set of arrow brackets if there are commas between 
 them, such as <27,23>. You may also enter combinations of ASCII codes
 and printable characters, such as <27>@. When you are finished press 
 escape to get back to the printer selection screen. If you changed   
 the name of the printer, it may be in a different location now as the
 program will automatically put it in it's alphabetical order.        
                                                                      
.E. EXIT TO DOS                                                       
                                                                      
 This option will bring up a window asking confirmation before exiting
 the program.  This option also has a short cut key, Control-X.       
 Without invoking the F2-File menu you may press the X key while      
 holding down the control key. This will also bring up the window     
 confirming exiting of the program.

.A. SET BOOKMARK                                                      
                                                                      
 When you select the "Set Bookmark" option from the F3-Edit Menu it   
 will set the bookmark to the current entry. The date of the Bookmark 
 will then appear in the lower right corner of the screen.  This      
 option also has a short-cut, Ctrl-S.                                 
                                                                      
.B. GET BOOKMARK                                                      
                                                                      
 To quickly jump to the entry which contains the bookmark, select the 
 "Get Bookmark" option from the F3-Edit menu. Pressing return on this 
 option will immediately bring up the "marked" entry.  This option    
 also has a short-cut key, Ctrl-G.                                    
                                                                      
.C. CUT AND PASTE FEATURES                                            
                                                                      
 The word processor in CUMBERLAND DIARY contains a cut-and-paste      
 feature which can be accessed by the F3-Edit menu or by using the    
 shown short-cut keys. These keys are described below.                
                                                                      
 Ctrl-M  - This initiates the mark-text mode. The current character   
           will be highlighted. You may then use the four arrow keys, 
           pgup, pgdn, home, end, and ctrl-end keys to locate the     
           cursor to the end of the text to be marked.  The beginning 
           of the marked text must come before the ending.  If you    
           page up or arrow up in front of the beginning mark, the cut
           mode will be exited and you will be back in the regular    
           word processor mode.                                       
                                                                      
 Esc-key - Exits the mark-text mode.                                  
                                                                      
 Del-key - Deletes the highlighted text and copies it to the paste    
           buffer.  The paste buffer can contain 600 lines, just as   
           much as the entry can contain. The contents of the paste   
           buffer will be erased when the next Ctrl-M (Mark Text) is  
           executed.                                                  
                                                                      
 Ctrl-C  - Copies the highlighted text to the paste buffer without    
           deleting the highlighted text.                             
                                                                      
 Ctrl-I  - Inserts text from the paste buffer into the current cursor 
           position.                                                  
                                                                      
 Only those options currently available will be shown on the F3-Edit  
 menu. Until a delete or copy text has been issued, there will be no  
 text in the paste buffer, therefore the Insert Text Option will be   
 unavailable. Delete and Copy Text options are only available when    
 text is highlighted.                                                 
                                                                      
 Text may be cut (deleted or copied) from any entry in the book and   
 pasted into the same or another entry.  Be certain that pasted text  
 and current text do not exceed the 600 lines capacity or text may be 
 lost at the end of the entry.

 To create a new entry, select the "Create New Entry" option from the 
 F4-Entry Menu. Todays date will be automatically filled into the date
 field. You can overtype the date if desired. You can also quickly    
 increase or decrease one day at a time by pressing the + or - keys.  
 Enter a heading, then press F9 to accept. This option also has a     
 short-cut key, Ctrl-E.                                               
                                                                      
.B. SELECT ENTRY                                                      
                                                                      
 There are two options available to select an entry; Select Entry by  
 Date and Select Entry by Heading. Both of these options work         
 identically except for the displayed order of the entries. The Select
 Entry by Date lists entries in date sequence while the Select Entry  
 by Heading lists entries alphabetically.                             
                                                                      
 This option will cause a list of entries for the current diary to    
 appear. Using the arrow keys you may select any entry, press enter   
 and immediately call up that entry as the current one.               
                                                                      
 To quickly find the entry you are interested in begin entering the   
 date or heading. You will notice that the date or heading will appear
 at the top of the list, while the list automatically changes to the  
 first entry closest to what you have just entered. You can quickly   
 find most entries with very few keystrokes. You can page-up or page- 
 down from any found location.                                        
                                                                      
 You may also delete entries using the Del-key.                       
                                                                      
.C. PRIOR AND NEXT ENTRY                                              
                                                                      
 These two options cause the currently edited entry to change to the  
 prior or next entry in the diary. Using these option assumes that the
 entry dates define the proper order of the diary, thus the prior     
 entry will be the one whose date occurs just before the currently    
 edited date.  If the current entry is the first entry in the diary   
 and you select "Prior Entry" no change takes place. If the current   
 entry is the last entry in the diary and you select "Next Entry" no  
 change takes place. These options also have short-cut keys, Control-P
 (Prior Entry) and Control-N (Next Entry).

 All of the print outs are formatted for 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper.  All 
 reports have been formatted to print in 10 characters per inch and 6 
 lines per inch.  These reports can be aborted early by pressing "S"  
 as shown while the report is being printed. Be patient, the report   
 will stop printing at a convenient line, eject a page and return     
 control of the computer back to you. If you shut off the printer you 
 will get a red error screen.  If you select abort at this point the  
 program will quit and you will be dropped down to DOS.  The graceful 
 way to stop printing is to press "S" and wait for the printer to stop
 itself.                                                              
                                                                      
 All of the reports described below can be written to disk as well as 
 to a printer. In all cases F7 will cause the report to be printed to 
 disk and F8 will cause the report to be sent to the printer. The name
 of the output file will be displayed after the report has been       
 written to disk.

 You may print the Title Page using this selection. The title page    
 will show all of the information entered in the F2-File/Define Diary 
 option which includes: Diary Title, Author name and address.  If you 
 print this report to a file the file name will be TITLE.TXT.

 There are two options available to print a Table of Contents: Table  
 of Contents by date and Table of Contents by heading.  You will want 
 to print out a Table of Contents in the order in which the diary is  
 printed out.  If you print this report to disk the file name will be 
 CONTENTS.TXT.                                                        
                                                                      
 You will first be requested to select the first and last entry to    
 include in the Table of Contents as you may not want to print the    
 entire diary. When selecting a entries you may use the Search option 
 which works exactly as the search option under F4-Entry/ Select      
 Entry. If you select a last entry which occurs prior to the first    
 entry, nothing will show up in the Table of Contents.                
                                                                      
 After selecting the first and last entries, you will be prompted to  
 enter the beginning page number of each entry.  These page numbers   
 will be shown on the Table of Contents. Normally you will not want to
 print the Table of Contents until after the entries are printed, so  
 that you can enter the appropriate page numbers into the Table of    
 Contents.  Press F3 when you are finished entering the page numbers. 
 You can then press F7 to send the report to a disk file or F8 to send
 the report to the printer.

 This option will print the current entry displayed on the screen.    
 You may enter the beginning page number.  You may press F7 to print  
 the report to disk or F8 to send the report to the printer.

 There are two options available to print: Choose entries by date and 
 Choose entries by heading.  You may choose to print one or more      
 entries, or the entire diary from this option. The first screen will 
 prompt you to select the first chapter to be printed. The second     
 screen will prompt you for the last chapter to be printed.  Use the  
 search option as explained under F4-ENTRY/ Select Entry.  The third  
 screen will prompt for the beginning page number of all the selected 
 entries.  If you select a last entry which occurs prior to the       
 selected first entry nothing will be printed.

.A. HOW IT WORKS                                                      
                                                                      
 (The spell-check option is only available to registered users.)      
                                                                      
 To use a spell checker, you must understand it's capabilities and    
 it's limitations. The Spell Check dictionary consists of the         
 following three data files:                                          
                                                                      
 CUMLAND1.DIC - This is the dictionary containing over 60,000 words   
                used by the spell checker.                            
 CUMLAND2.DIC - This is the lookup index for finding similar words to 
                a misspelled word.                                    
 CUMLAND3.DIC - This is the dictionary for user entered words.        
 CUMLAND3.K01 - Key file #1 for user entered words.                   
 CUMLAND3.K02 - Key file #2 for user entered words.                   
                                                                      
 When the spell checker checks a word, all it does is simply look up  
 the word in the dictionary. If the word is not found, it is assumed  
 to be spelled incorrectly. Remember, that the spell checker cannot   
 tell if you used the wrong word. If you typed "your" when you meant  
 "you're", the spell check will still think that you have spelled the 
 word correctly.                                                      
                                                                      
.B. PROOF WORD                                                        
                                                                      
 When selecting this option, the word at the current cursor location  
 will be checked. (This option has a short-cut key, Ctrl-W.) If the   
 word is spelled correctly you will immediately be returned to your   
 location in the word processor.  When the word has been misspelled it
 will be handled as explained under Misspelled Words below.           
                                                                      
.C. PROOF ENTRY                                                       
                                                                      
 This option will check all words in the current entry beginning with 
 the line at which the cursor is located. (This option has a short-cut
 key, Ctrl-T). The screen mode will change and each word will be      
 highlighted as it is checked.  If the highlighted word is correct,   
 the next word will be checked and so on.  When a misspelled word is  
 encountered it will be handled as explained under Misspelled Words   
 below.                                                               
                                                                      
.D. MISSPELLED WORDS                                                  
                                                                      
 If the word is not found in either the spell check dictionary or the 
 user dictionary a screen with a menu containing four options will be 
 presented.                                                           
                                                                      
 1. Suggested words - This option will list several words similar to  
       the spelling of the misspelled word. It may not always list the
       word you were looking for or it may not even find any suggested
       spellings. Generally, if you have typed the first letter and   
       next few consonants correctly, it will list several words with 
       the word you are probably looking for.                         
                                                                      
 2. Word Okay - continue.. This option allows you to recognize a      
       special word which you know is correct (such as names) but do  
       not want to add to the user dictionary. This option will simply
       skip the checked word.                                         
                                                                      
 3. Add to Dictionary - If you know you have spelled the word         
       correctly and want to add it to the user dictionary, then      
       select this option. Any use in the future of this word will not
       result in a misspelling notification.  Words greater than 15   
       characters in length are not included in the spell check       
       dictionary. Words up to and including 20 characters in length  
       can be added to the user dictionary.                           
                                                                      
 4. Type a correction - This option allows you to re-enter a          
       misspelled word. The re-entered word will then be checked for  
       correct spelling.

 This option allows you to search through text within your diary for a
 word or phrase. (This option has a short-cut key, Ctrl-S.)  The      
 search will always begin on the line on which the cursor is currently
 located. It will search to the end of the text of the current entry. 
 The search is "case insensitive" which means that regardless of      
 whether you enter the search word (or phrase) in lower or upper case 
 it will find text printed in either lower or upper case which matches
 the search word.  The "case" of the search word and entry text is    
 irrelevent during the search.                                        
                                                                      
 You may specify three options for the search: Current Entry Only,    
 Forward Search or Reverse Search.  If you specify "Current Entry     
 Only", the search will stop at the end of the current entry if the   
 search word is not found.  If the search word is found, you will be  
 returned to the wordprocessor mode with the cursor pointing to the   
 beginning of the found word.                                         
                                                                      
 If you select "Forward Search", the search will load and search the  
 next entry if the word is not found in the current entry. This search
 will continue to the end of the diary if the word is not found. If   
 the search word is not found you will be returned to the entry in    
 which the search was started. If the search was successful in finding
 the search word, the search will stop at the appropriate entry and   
 the cursor will point to the beginning of the found word or phrase.  
                                                                      
 If you select "Reverse Search", the search still searches in the     
 current entry from the cursor line to the end of the current entry,  
 then (if the search word is not found) it loads the PREVIOUS entry   
 and searches from top to bottom.  The search will continue until it  
 comes to the beginning of the diary.

 (This option is only available to registered users.)                 
                                                                      
 This option allows you to enter a file name (or directory,           
 subdirectory and filename) of an ASCII file to be imported into      
 Cumberland Diary. When a file is imported it will be loaded to the   
 paste buffer. You then go to the entry and location where you want to
 insert the text and use "F3-Insert Text" or Ctrl-I to paste the      
 imported text into the diary.                                        
                                                                      
 Because the paste buffer is as large as the maximum size of a diary  
 entry (600 lines) the ASCII text file must not be larger than this   
 size. If you have a large file to import which you want entered into 
 several diary entries, you must create seperate files for each entry,
 then import and paste each one seperately.                           
                                                                      
 The import utility will import text with any margin size up to about 
 200 characters per line. Because ASCII text does not contain end of  
 paragraph markers or other formatting features, when the text is     
 imported the utility attempts to determine the margins and paragraph 
 endings as best as possible. However, you may find that you may need 
 to do some slight editing to indent and/or locate paragraphs as      
 appropriate.                                                         
                                                                      
 To export to an ASCII file, print to a disk file from the report     
 options.                                                             
                                                                      
.CHAPTER 14.  BACKUP AND RESTORE UTILITIES                            
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                      
 Backing up your data is very important. You can loose months worth of
 work in a split second, if the power goes out, or the files get      
 messed up. Keeping a regular backup of your database should be       
 followed religiously. Then if you loose some data, it will not be a  
 total loss of the entire database. You will be able to restore the   
 data to the state it was in at the last time you did a backup.       
                                                                      
 Provided with the registered version of Cumberland Diary is a copy of
 Haruyasu Yoshizaki's LHA compression utility and two batch files:    
 BACK.BAT and REST.BAT.  LHA compresses data, which can take up a     
 fraction of the space it normally would take.                        
                                                                      
 By entering the "BACK" command from DOS, in the Cumberland Diary     
 directory you can backup the database you desire and compress it at  
 the same time onto a disk in drive a or b or another directory on    
 your hard drive.  To use the backup command enter BACK, followed by a
 space, the name of the database, another space and the drive to      
 backup to.                                                           
                                                                      
               Example:  BACK GEORGE A:                               
                                                                      
 The restore (REST) works almost the same but the parameters are      
 entered in reverse order. For example, to restore the LUND database  
 from drive A enter the following command:                            
                                                                      
               Example: REST A: GEORGE                                
                                                                      
 When restoring a corrupt file, the LHA utility will notify you that  
 there is a file already existing with the name of the one you are    
 restoring. Answer "Y"es to all of these questions to restore your    
 entire database.

 As of the creation of this program, Cumberland Software is simply a  
 one man operation. If you need help you may call me any weekday      
 evening and I will try my best to help you.  I value your input and  
 ideas -that's how Cumberland Diary has become as good as it is.  (See
 the Acknowledgments)   However, before you call me could you please  
 read the instructions below.  If you follow these instructions it    
 will help me by saving my time on the phone and being able to better 
 understand your problem:                                             
                                                                      
      Call (615) 647-4012 - Ask for Ira Lund.                         
                                                                      
 If I am not home leave a message with my family or on my answering   
 machine.  I will get back to you as soon as I can.  If you do not    
 hear back from me within a couple of days, then please try again.  It
 usually means I have gone on vacation or somehow failed to recieve   
 your message. I do not deliberately avoid any messages.              
                                                                      
 You may also write to me or send me messages via CompuServe          
 (70713,3476). These methods allow me to answer at my convenience     
 rather than yours.                                                   
                                                                      
.TROUBLESHOOTING                                                      
                                                                      
 "It doesn't work" may sum up your feelings about a problem, but these
 words are useless if you need help from a consultant or programmer.  
 You can minimize frustration and save time by learning to provide    
 specific details that will lead to a solution.                       
                                                                      
 Remember that nearly 80 percent of computer problems are caused by   
 user errors. Before running any software, read the instructions.  You
 don't have to read every word just to get started. You can find the  
 sections of the manual that tell you how to begin, and those that    
 apply to the task you are trying to perform.  With large manuals,    
 there is usually a table of contents and an index. Skim these to     
 familiarize yourself with the topics that are discussed.  Then you'll
 know where to look when you have a question.  With shorter manuals,  
 such as those that come with most shareware products, go ahead and   
 read the whole thing.  It's embarrassing to mail a long letter or    
 make a long distance phone call, only to find that everything you    
 needed to know was on page 2.                                        
                                                                      
 Before assuming a program "doesn't work", check a few simple items.  
 Is the computer plugged in and turned on? Are all necessary devices  
 (such as the monitor and printer) connected properly and turned on?  
 Did you spell the command correctly when you typed it? Are you logged
 onto the right disk drive and directory? Is it possible that the     
 program has system requirements that you don't meet, such as a hard  
 disk, or a certain amount of memory? If memory seems to be the       
 problem, do you have "memory resident" programs (also called TSRs or 
 "pop-up" utilities) which can be removed from memory? Try running the
 program on a different computer.                                     
                                                                      
 If the program worked in the past, but doesn't now, can you think of 
 anything that has changed since the last time you used it?  Have you 
 moved the computer or made changes in any of the connecting cables?  
 Is it possible there has been damage of some kind, or that files have
 been erased? Have you added any new memory-resident programs or      
 device drivers which might cause a conflict?                         
                                                                      
 If you see an error message on screen, copy it completely and        
 exactly.  Don't try to remember it! If possible, make a print-screen 
 of the message.  On most computers, you can do this by holding down  
 the SHIFT key while you press the PRINT SCREEN key (sometimes        
 abbreviated to PRT SC). The purpose of the error message is to convey
 specific information to the programmer so that the problem can be    
 solved. Your consultant will need the exact wording of the message in
 order to interpret it correctly.                                     
                                                                      
 Many error messages include an explanation that can help you solve   
 the problem yourself. Some error messages are explained for you in   
 the program manual.  When reporting a problem, be very specific.     
                                                                      
 What were you trying to do?  How did you do it? What did you expect  
 to happen? What actually happened?  Exactly what did you do just     
 before the problem occurred? What did you do afterwards? What did you
 see on the screen? Have you had different or similar results in the  
 past? Can you reproduce the problem and describe the circumstances   
 under which it occurs? Is there a consistent pattern of some sort?   
                                                                      
 I support my users, and am happy to answer your questions and help   
 solve any difficulties you may have.  Please understand that there is
 a limit to the amount of help I can give you with software which I   
 did not write. If you are having continuing difficulty with DOS      
 commands, you probably need to study your DOS manual or contact      
 MicroSoft for help. If you are baffled by your menu system, your best
 bet is to talk to the person who installed it, or to the author of   
 the menu software.                                                   
                                                                      
 I have discovered that if I respond to non-registered users as well  
 as those who are registered, I usually get a registration.           
 Therefore, if you have not registered but are having trouble and wish
 to call, please do. It probably means you are serious about wanting  
 to use my product. But please don't abuse the shareware system. If   
 you really do use the product after I have helped, then register.    
 That is the right thing to do and besides it is illegal to use the   
 product after the 30 day trial period.

.APPENDIX B: ERROR MESSAGES                                           
.-------------------------------------------------------------------  
                                                                      
 * "Abnormal Program Termination"                                     
    If you receive this error message when trying to start the program
    it means that you do not have enough free memory. Use CHKDSK to   
    check your system's memory.                                       
                                                                      
 * "Cannot Execute ...\CDIARY.EXE"                                    
    If you receive this error message when trying to start the program
    it means that you do not have enough free memory.                 
                                                                      
 * "Error on LPT1" or other printer port                              
    If you receive this message when trying to print a report it means
    that your printer is turned off or it is off line. Correct the    
    problem and press "R" to retry. If you press "A" to abort, the    
    program will stop and you will be dropped back to the DOS prompt. 
    Pressing "F" (Fail) or "I" (Ignore) has no effect.                
                                                                      
 * "Insufficient Memory"                                              
    If you ever receive this error message at any time during program 
    execution then you do not have enough free memory.                
                                                                      
 * "Invalid Data File" or "Invalid Key File"                          
    If you ever receive one of these messages at any time during      
    program execution then your data files have become corrupt.  There
    are only two solutions to this problem. 1) Restore a recent backup
    of your data files. If you do this you will have lost all of the  
    work you have done since the backup was made. 2) You can copy all 
    data files onto a disk and mail to me with a $10 fee and I will   
    restore your data as best as I can. I cannot guarantee that I will
    be able to recover all of your data.                              
                                                                      
    To avoid receiving these errors in the future, be very careful to 
    exit the program after each use.  Invariably the cause of corrupt 
    data is from turning off the computer or re-booting while the     
    program is running.                                               
                                                                      
 * "Subscript out of Range"                                           
    I hope that you never see this error. If you do or if you see any 
    other error not specifically defined in this appendix then please 
    call me with specific information as to what you were doing to    
    obtain this error. In all likelihood the cause of this error is a 
    bug in the program.                                               
                                                                      
 * "Too Many Open Files"                                              
    If you ever get this message it simply means that you need to     
    increase the number of files in the CONFIG.SYS file of your root  
    directory. Edit CONFIG.SYS and add the lines FILES=40 and         
    BUFFERS=20 as indicated in the installation section. You must re- 
    boot the computer for these changes to take effect.
