o INTRODUCTION
  ============

TeleEASE is a general-purpose Name-Address-book database developed by

TeleEASE has been recoded in TurboC and all versions after 1.2x will
be called TeleBOOK.

o GENERAL
  =======

The minimum package of TeleEASE containes following files:
________________________________________________________________________
		  
	TEL.EXE

	INSTALL.EXE

o INSTALLING :
  ===========
	Installation is simple. Create a directory  "C:\TELEEASE" on your
	computer and copy the file TEL.EXE in any directory contained 
	in your path variable.

	TeleBook looks for it's datafiles in "C:\TELEEASE" by default.
	If the directoy does not exist, the files are assumed to be in the
	current directory. (and are created if not already existing)

		If you don't keep the datafiles in the default directory, it
	is your responsibility to ensure that the next time TeleBook is run,
	you are in the same directory as the one in which you the files exist.

	<You can automate the process by Running INSTALL.EXE>

o RUNNING IT :
  ===========
	It's simple ... just execute TEL.EXE

	Sometimes you may not want to edit or modify any data while working...
	Give the switch "/!" for Read-only operation of TEL.EXE
	
	TeleBook supports one level of nesting i.e. it has folders which
	can be used to store different categories of records.

o ADDITIONAL FEATURES :
  ====================
	If you like this software, you will love the small utilities that 
	I have written to make life easier for you.
	Some of them are : 
	  MERGE to merge 2 different set of databases of TeleBook
	  CONVERT to convert a protect folder to an ordinary folder
	  TEL-SQL to query the database for certain patterns and to
		  generate large amounts of random data
	  MAKETEXT to convert the database into a plain text file
	All of these are freeware. mail me for more info.
