INTRODUCTION

All-in-1 Personal Information Manager (A-PIM) is an ergonomic personal 
organizer for managing any kind of personal information such as tasks, 
events, contacts, notes, file links and Web links. 

All information is contained in one or more password-protected Microsoft 
Access 2000 databases (however, you don't need to install Access 2000).

The information is divided into up to 44 customizable collections 
(usage domains) and an unlimited number of categories. 

A-PIM can display stored information not only as a grid or list, but 
also as a calendar, tree map, sticky note, tag map, complete with 
auto-tiling, drag and drop, and various kinds of animations. 

A-PIM gives you in one product all the functions you may ask from a 
powerful, yet simple to use organizer for home and office use, plus
capabilities you have never seen in any other product or even imagined. 

The unregistered version of A-PIM can only be used for 30 days from 
installation. Check the current A-PIM registration policy and price at:

A-PIM has been developed by Bruno Cancellieri 
(www.cancellieri.org). 

HOW TO INSTALL A-PIM

To install A-PIM you need a full kit (file apim_fullx.zip) available
from the A-PIM web site (www.cancellieri.org/apim_index.htm).
Download apim_fullx.zip into a hard disk and open it, then run 
setup.exe.

It may happen that after copying a few files, the setup program
display a message like this: "Setup cannot continue because some system
files are out of date on your system...". This is normal in some computers.
In this case, you have to confirm the modification of the system files,
exit the setup program, restart your computer and run setup from
apim_fullx.zip again. Follow the instructions of the setup program.
At the end of the installation, A-PIM can be run from the 'Programs / 
All-in-1 Personal Information Manager' entry of the Windows Start Menu.  

GETTING STARTED WITH THE APIM_DEMO.MDB AND MYDB.MDB DATABASES

When starting A-PIM for the first time, a dialog window with registration
information will appear. Choose the option you prefer and follow
the instructions, you will then be prompted to choose a database. Select
the "apim_demo.mdb" database. Depending on the kit version, apim_demo.mdb 
can be provided without a password or with the password "demo".

After some practise with demo.mdb you can start your own personal database
by using "mydb.mdb" (an empty database). You can then rename this database
and set its password by means of the respective command in the main context
menu. You may also use the "save database as ..." function to create
a copy of the database with a name of your choice and place it in any
directory. Depending on the kit version, mydb.mdb can be provided without
a password or with the password "mydb".

HOW TO UNINSTALL A-PIM

Use the "Uninstall" command under Programs / All-in-1 Personal Information 
Manager in the Start Menu or use the "Add/remove programs" function of the 
Windows control panel.
