OVERVIEW

This software is provided to you free of charge as a useful
collection of over 2000 quotations complied by Sidney Madwed.
AApex Software Corporation publishes a line of electronic reference
books, including over 75,000 quotations, a joke book, a bible,
almanacs, and more.  Other AApex books function in the same
manner that this version does; the only difference between the
versions is the number of quotations.  Even the retrieval speed
is the same; the time it takes to search 2000 quotes is not
very much different than the time it takes to perouse 75,000.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This software requires:

- Windows 3.1 or later.
- A mouse.
- 700K free disk space.



TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE:


1. Copy the files to an existing or new directory.

2. Run QUOTES.EXE from the File Manager, or add an icon to the
Program Manager using the File New command.




SEARCH HINTS

The quickest way to find quotations is to use the Text Search
feature; Select SEARCH, TEXT from the menu, or click on the
magnifying glass icon.  The words you enter should be
lowercase, but you can use logical operations such as AND, OR
and NOT, which must be entered in uppercase. Matching words can
be in the quotation, the author name, the citation, or anywhere
on each screen.

For example:
"twain AND children" finds a quote by Mark Twain on family.

Refer to the on-line help for other search examples.


SEARCHING USING CATEGORIES

This software allows you to browse through categories for each
quotation.  For example, to browse through subjects, select
SEARCH, and then SUBJECT INDEX from the menu.  To find the subject
"family", you can scroll through the list, or just type the
first few letters of "character" on the edit line.  When you
double click a subject, you'll see a list of quotes on that subject.

The following categories are available:

Author: lists authors by last name.
Source: lists authors by first name.
Subject: lists subject headings.



HYPERLINKS

Every quotation is linked to related quotes by Author or
Subject.  If you position the mouse over an author name
or subject, and then click on the RIGHT mouse button, you will 
see another quotation with the same author or subject.
