Jeepers is a bibliographic database management system. Jeepers can be used by anyone needing easy access to references to books, journals, abstracts, magazines, and other literature. II. What's on these disks. You should find a total of 15 files. Here is a short description of each one: ReadMe.Doc : The file you are reading now; it contains the most basic information for starting Jeepers, as well as a complete list of the files. Vendor.Doc : A file that must be read by anyone who wishes to distribute Jeepers, such as vendors. Sysop.Doc : Same as Vendor.Doc, except for BBS Sysops. File_Id.Diz : Special file for BBS Sysops. JeepersW.Exe: This is the Jeepers program itself; it runs under Windows 3.x. JeepersW.Hlp: Contains the text for Jeepers' context- sensitive help screens. Ref1.JPR : A sample database file for Jeepers. It contains the actual text of the database. Ref1.JPK : The "key" file that goes along with the Ref1.JPR database file. YOU CANNOT USE A DATABASE FILE WITHOUT A KEY FILE! JEPRS.Cfg : A sample Config file that contains the formatting instructions for 30 format styles, directory and file name information, and user-specified Global and local Defaults. JEPRS.Txt : Sample text file. Since you cannot directly access the database using the DOS Type command, Jeepers allows you to enter selected references into an ASCII/DOS text file. You can use DOS's Type and Print commands on these text files. JEPRS.Num : This is a sample "number" file. It is really a normal ASCII/DOS text file, but consists of nothing but numbers of references. Jeepers can use this file to produce a bibliography. ProComm.Log : A sample MedLine-formatted file. This can be used in the File, Import... Menu to add a MedLine-formatted file to the database. (This is probably only of interest to biomedical researchers & clinicians who use MedLine- formatted files.) Order.Doc : This is an order form for registering your use of Jeepers. You should print this file on your printer and then fill out the information requested. Or you can choose Help, Ordering Information... while you're running Jeepers to print an order form. Remember, Jeepers is shareware, it is not free software! Thanks for your support. Site_Lic.Doc: This file contains information on bulk pricing and site licenses for Jeepers. If you plan on ordering more than one copy of Jeepers, look at this file to save money. BWCC.DLL: Borland's Windows Custom Control Library. This file is necessary to run Jeepers for Windows. You can keep it in your Jeepers directory or in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If there is already a file there with the same name, use the file with the most recent date. III. Starting Jeepers. To add Jeepers to the Windows Program Manager, do the following: 1. From the Program Manager menu, choose File, New.... 2. Select Program Item, and click the OK button. 3. Enter a description, such as "Jeepers 1.0 for Windows". 4. Click the Browse... button, and find the JEEPERSW.EXE file on your hard disk. Then click OK. 5. Click OK to finish the dialog box. You should now see the Jeepers icon (it's a black "J!" on a red circle). Now just double-click the icon to start Jeepers. If you get an error message that Windows can't find the file "DDEML.DLL", then you are running Windows 3.0 and you need this file. We can send it to you (send $5 for shipping) or you can get it from any Windows 3.1 user; just add it to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. IV. What do I do Next? For a quick demonstration of Jeepers' exciting DDE capabilities, first start your Windows word processor. Then start Jeepers, and on the menu choose Options, WordProcessor, and choose WordPerfect, AmiPro, or Word. If a Jeepers database hasn't been automatically opened for you, choose File, Open... to open one. Click on one of the displayed references, then click the Mark button. Now choose Reference, CreateBibliography... and click on OK. Then watch in amazement as the reference you selected is sent to your word processor--magically--by DDE. Notice that it includes italics, underlining, and boldface, again all automatically. For help in Jeepers, just press the F1 key or choose Help, Contents... for help. For a basic introduction, trying choosing Help, How Do I...? for a quick tutorial. Also, most dialog boxes have a Help button. Clicking on that button will give you context- sensitive help. V.

Compatibility. Jeepers for Windows requires Microsoft Windows 3.0 or above, or IBM OS/2 2.0 or above. For its DDE features to work, you must have any of the following Windows word processors: Microsoft Word, Lotus Ami Pro, Lotus Write, or WordPerfect for Windows.
