Description:
============

Chat Little Black Address Book keeps track of the most personal of
personal information about your chat partners. Online chatting has
become a new form of social interaction of this century. Many people
now rely on chatting in the hopes of finding their soul-mate.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to keep track of your chat
partners. Most online chat software includes just the 'politically
correct' information about chart partners/buddies. This software
provides all the standard information about your chat partner plus
a whole lot more. 

How many times have you received a message from someone online with the
phrase, "Remember me?" Most of us respond with the typical answer, "Of
course I remember you!" Even though we have no idea who this other
person is. Now, this software allows you to keep track of just about
every "important" detail about your chat friends. So, the next time
someone asks you, "Remember me?" you can simply call up your password
protected information on this person in seconds. No more tap-dancing
required when you cannot remember a chat partner's details.

So, with this in mind this software was created. No more jotting down
peronal chat partner information on loose pieces of paper or yellow
stickies. Have your database open and ready whenever you go online.
Add new chat partners, delete old chat partners or modify existing
chat partners in an instant. 

Best of all, your database is password protected. There is no limit to
the amount of chat partners you may create or edit. Every chat partner
can be accessed in micro-seconds using alphabet index buttons or by a
powerful built-in search engine which allows you to search through key
personal details just as quickly. Stop writing down on paper your secret
information and stop relying on other computer address books which do
not provide the detailed information this one does and is not secure.

Besides the standard name and address information, this software goes far
beyond that. Information such as their Nickname/Alias, online addresses,
height, weight, eye color, nationality, body style, age, gender, religeon
and an optional "Rating" scale is provided. The Rating scale simply
reproduces the "little black book" concept of putting 1 to 5-stars next
to a person's name for your personal feelings about them. In addition, a
freeform information field is provided allowing an unlimited amount of
information you wish to keep about your chat partners in a very easy to
use text editor, it allows multiple colors, fonts and sizes.


Probably the single most unique feature of this software is the ability
to add any file to your contact. For instance, if you have a picture of
your chat partner you may insert it into your chat partner's contact
information. This file will then actually become part of the database.
Therefore, the original file may be deleted if you no longer wish to keep
it as a seperate file on your computer, because it is now password protected
within your database. From then on you can view the picture simply by
clicking a single button. The picture will then be extracted from the
database and displayed using your assigned viewing software. You can then
view/edit or even save the picture back to a seperate file if you wish.

VERSION HISTORY:
================

V1.0
====

- Initial Release


V1.1
====

- Fixed a bug which corrects saving all contacts to a file. The bug would only save the
  first contact information of the database.

- Fixed a bug which activates the 1st contact's SEND and GOTO buttons if an e-mail and
  web address text is within these fields.

- Reduced the height of the main display window so that people with low screen
  resolutions such as 640x480 will see all the functionality of this software.

- Modified project color settings to correspond to user color schemes. Some forms and
  controls did not adhere to color schemes in the previous version. Now it will.

  was sent from this software.

=====
A shareware limitation is placed on this software. A maximum of 10 contacts may be entered
per database.
