Long Description ---------------- The InContext(TM) Work Environment Manager improves your personal productivity by helping you organize, manage, and execute the work you do on your computer. InContext organizes your computer around your work habits, rather than the other way around. On top of a unique, object-oriented DOS shell, InContext provides well-integrated task planning and calendar management. It provides extremely powerful and rapid techniques for moving among directories, selecting files, and encapsulating and launching applications. InCon- text derives a great deal of power from the smooth integration of these various aspects of computer-based work. InContext is easy to use with mouse and/or keyboard. Its basic capabilities are readily useable by novices, but it provides a level of control and sophistication that will please the expert. InContext includes an extensive hypertext-based help system and on- line tutorial. ASP shareware. Intended User ------------- InContext will be beneficial especially to three kinds of user: o Moderately or highly experienced users who use their com- puters for multiple purposes or applications. o Relatively inexperienced users who want a single work en- vironment which will provide basic capabilities, but will "grow" as they learn more about PCs and DOS. o Experienced personnel who wish to set up computer-based work environments for other users, regardless of the experience level of those users. The users may be family members, office colleagues, clients of consultants, or users of PCs supported by an MIS department. Under these circumstances, InContext provides much more power and flexibility than other ap- plicable approaches.

Preferred File Names for BBSs, Disk Collections ----------------------------------------------- For consistency, and to help users locate the files, please use the following filenames. If the programs and documentation are in separate archive files, please use the following names (both must be posted): Describe.DOC -4- Mar 1991 InContext Version 1.00 Product Description INCX100D.ZIP InContext Work Environment Manager v1.00 Documents INCX100P.ZIP InContext Work Environment Manager v1.00 Programs If the programs and documentation are contained in a single ar- chive file, please use the following name: INCXT100.ZIP InContext Work Environment Manager v1.00 If the package is compressed using some other file compression method, then please use the indicated filename prefixes with appropriate extensions (PAK, ARC, LZH, etc.). Special Packaging Requirement ----------------------------- InContext is packaged in a somewhat unusual way. Even if the package comes in ZIP archive form, it contains the LHA archive/compression program (version 2.11), and several LHA archive files (filename extension "LZH"). This is done because InContext uses LHA at run time, and accesses some materials directly from these archives. LHA may not be removed from this package, except by special permission.
