Program Description:

Internet Business Cards (IBCards) brings business cards to the Internet!  IBCards functions much like regular business cards, but with features designed especially for the Internet.  With IBCards, you can custom design your own IBCard and send and receive other IBCards over the Internet as you would any other file.  Send them to business contacts, colleagues, even friends and family.

Most importantly, any text or image on an IBCard can be hyperlinked to an e-mail or a web address.  With e-mail links, a click of the mouse launches your e-mail application, fills in the addressee information, and is ready for you to begin your message.  For a web address, your Internet browser is launched, and you are whisked away to the desired web site, all with just a click of the mouse.  When you send your card, business contacts and others can just as easily link to you - enhancing your business communication over the Internet.  IBCards also features a filer so you can store and organize all the cards that you send and receive.  IBCards - a unique and dynamic way to communicate over the Internet !!  



Program Installation:

It is recommended that you place the IBC.zip file into its own directory (i.e. C:\IBCards).  From here you can extract the files within the .zip file.  When doing so make sure that the file extraction program uses the directory structure within the zip file.  This will make the use of the program more efficient.  Once the files are unzipped, the program is ready to run.  Simply double click on the IBCards.exe file to start the program.
