Unless otherwise specified, all Associate/Vendor Members
of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) are hereby
entitled to distribute JEPRS as long as you obey the rules of the
ASP. Also, you must have a statement in your catalog to the effect
that shareware is not free software, and continued use of the
software obligates payment to the author.
Other vendors who may be interested in a distribution
license must contact the author directly to receive an individual
license agreement. Please provide a current copy of your catalog.
Non-profit organizations (including computer clubs and user
groups) are entitled to distribute these programs without obtaining
an individual license agreement. These groups are encouraged to
inform their members that shareware is not free software, and
continued use of the software obligates payment to the author.
I reserve the right to deny or remove distribution rights
from any vendor, BBS, or non-profit organization at any time.

JEPRS is provided in a compressed form (as Zipped,
self-extracting files). You may provide these programs to your
customers in any form (compressed or not) that you see fit, as
long as all the files on this distribution diskette are included.
You may not exclude any files without the express, written
consent of the author. Note: Louis M. Miranda is fully licensed

This section contains 4 parts: A "Short" complete description; a "Long"
complete description; Registration Information; and a "What's New"
description. These descriptions may be used in whole or in part
in your catalog.
JEPRS is generally announced in vendors' catalogs under
the "database" or "word processing" sections (or both). For
consistency, I prefer the "database" section.
If your catalog mentions ASP membership for authors &
programs, please denote JEPRS as such a program, since its
author is a member of the ASP.
One-line description. If your catalog provides a short,
one-line description, you might consider:
>> "JEPRS v2.5: Bibliographic Database System (ASP Shareware)"
If your catalog provides searchable keywords, you might
consider the following:

Short, Complete (old & new features) Description:
**************************************************
JEPRS (pronounced "Jeepers!") is a bibliographic database
management system for writers & scientists. With JEPRS, users can add,
edit, list, search, format, import, and export their reference citations.
Each reference has room for a title, authors, journal or book title, pages,
volume, year, type (journal, book, or abstract), editor, publisher, &
keywords. The program can now produce WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 and PC-Write 3.0
compatible output files (including boldface, italics, underlining, super-
and sub-scripts). It can also read files made by these word processors and
automatically generate a bibliography. JEPRS runs on IBM compatibles with
at least 384kb of free memory, using DOS version 2.0 or greater. Any video
card and monitor will work.

Long, Complete (old & new features) Description:
**************************************************
JEPRS (pronounced "Jeepers!") is a bibliographic database
management system for writers & scientists. With JEPRS, users can add,
edit, list, search, format, import, and export their reference citations.
Each reference has room for a title, authors, journal or book title, pages,
volume, year, type (journal, book, or abstract), editor, publisher, &
keywords. JEPRS does NOT require a hard disk; it does require two
360k floppies (or one 720k floppy) and 320k memory, so any computer
with 384k memory should work. DOS version 2.0 or greater, or any version
of OS/2 Operating System is also required. JEPRS runs as a DOS program
under the Microsoft Windows 3.0/3.1 Operating Environment. Any video card
and monitor will work with the program.
Ease of Use: JEPRS supports a mouse on its pull-down/pop-up menu
system. With an on-line, context-sensitive help system and over 100 pages
of documentation, including a quick-start tutorial, JEPRS is easy to learn
both for beginners & advanced users. It also includes an icon for use with
Windows 3.0's Program Manager.
Output: New in version 2.5 is the ability to create WordPerfect
5.0/5.1 and PC-Write 3.0 output files--now you can combine the power of your
word processor with the simplicity & power of JEPRS. The formatting
capabilities of the program include italics, underlining, superscripts,
subscripts, and boldface.
Automatic Bibliography Generation: Version 2.5 can now "read" a
WordPerfect 5.x or PC- Write 3.0 document, find special JEPRS codes you
place in it, and automatically generate a bibliography in your word
processor's file format. At your option, it can then go back into your
original document and replace the JEPRS codes with either an author+year
citation (such as ``Smith, et al. (1991)'') or with consecutive numbers (1,
2, 3,...).
Searching: You can specify up to 10 items to search, using
AND/OR/NOT Boolean logic and parentheses to combine search terms. Searches
can be case-sensitive or -insensitive, and searching is possible through a
range of years. Results of a search are sortable by author, year, or
journal, with each reference displayed in a condensed, one-line format. You
can scroll through the list, marking references to be sent to a printer or
text file. Pressing Enter will display the entire reference, and F4 brings
up the editing screen.
Utilities: JEPRS comes with a free utility called Med2Go (which may
be distributed independently of JEPRS). With Med2Go, users can import
MedLine, BRS/Colleague, ERIC, PsycLit, and comma-delimited (DIF) files into
their database. JEPRS also features MedLine and comma-delimited export
capabilities for compatibility with other database programs.
*************************************************************************

What's New (for additional information, see the file WhatsNew.Doc):
*******************************************************************
VERSION 2.57
We have moved and the documentation has been updated to show
our new Minnesota address.
Jeepers 1.0 for Windows is now available! It has complete
file compatibility (including both database files and formatting
files) with JEPRS 2.5 for DOS. Jeepers for Windows requires Word for
Windows, WordPerfect for Windows, or AmiPro for Windows in order to
print bibliographies.
VERSION 2.56
Bug fix: There was a problem importing MedLine files: If the
journal name included a number in it, it would not import correctly.
This has been fixed.
VERSION 2.55
Bug fix: A problem reading certain WordPerfect files was fixed
(the problem only occurred on files of specific lengths).
VERSION 2.54
Major Enhancement: If you cite a reference more than once at the
Format Menu (either in a Number File, Word Processor Input File, or at the
Keyboard), JEPRS will now include it only once in the bibliography (even
if the references are sorted). This feature was added due to requests from
users.
Bug fix: No longer adds a title to your word processor output file
(this is not necessary, since your word processor can do it better)
Bug fix: JEPRS occasionally had problems reading WordPerfect files.
It would sometimes not find any JEPRS codes in your manuscript, even if
they were actually there. This only happened if you had certain combinations
of formatting codes at the very beginning of your WordPerfect document. This
has been fixed.
Bug fix: If you used the Format menu to format references from a
Number file or Word Processor Input File, and there were more citations
than references in your database (for example, if one reference were cited
several times), JEPRS might crash. This has been fixed.
VERSION 2.53:
"Black and White" mode has been modified to work correctly on
*all* computers (including portables).
A *rare* problem with the *.Jpr and *.Jpk database files has been
fixed. The problem was that if the power was cut off before JEPRS was
exited, the files were not properly written to disk; when this happened
the files became corrupted and the user had to write to me to get the
database files fixed. This update forces JEPRS to write all the data to
your disk after any reference is added, imported, or edited. This slows
down the operation slightly on floppy disks (hard disks are fast enough
that you shouldn't notice a difference), but provides greater data
safety.
VERSION 2.52:
Bug fix: creating configuration files now works correctly.
Also, A NEW ADDRESS FOR CONTACTING THE AUTHOR AND SENDING IN
REGISTRATIONS!
VERSION 2.51:
Several bug fixes and enhancements have been made. When entering
references, you can now enter foreign (non-English) characters that the
IBM PC supports. In addition, when you send references to a WordPerfect
5.0/5.1-compatible output file, JEPRS automatically translates the IBM PC
foreign characters into WordPerfect's character sets. A bug has been
fixed that occasionally displayed extra text when adding references.
VERSION 2.50:
Version 2.5 of JEPRS automates much of the tedium associated
with reference management. It can now generate output in the form of
WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 files or PC-Write 3.0 files, including attributes
for boldface, underline, italics, superscripts, and subscripts. It can
also "read" codes you place in your WordPerfect or PC-Write documents,
and *automatically* generate a bibliography based on those references.
In fact, it can even go back and replace those codes in your document
with an author+year citation (such as "Smith, et al. (1991)") or sequen-
tial numbers.
Other new features include the ability to insert periods after
authors' initials (if you enter authors as "Miranda LM", it can option-
ally convert it to "Miranda L.M."), as well as being capable of sorting
references at the Search and Format Menus by author, journal, or year.
In addition, sorting is much faster than in version 2.0. Registered
users now get Med2Go, a MedLine interconversion utility, free of charge.
Finally, JEPRS has improvements in its user interface. It is
now mouse-compatible at the menus and help system. And entering refer-
ences is made easier by having scrollable windows in which to enter
text.
