             FundRaiser Basic Version 1.44  (01/22/96)



FundRaiser Basic is a VERY easy to learn and use donor management
program that is designed for small non-profits and those new to
fundraising and/or computers.  In fact, one reviewer called it "one 
of the least threatening programs I have ever seen" !!!

Here are the tools you need to fundraise like a real professional.
In one simple and easy session, you can record donations, make
address changes, code donors, print timely thank you letters and
labels (with the built-in word processor), and print a deposit
report - all without having to leave the program!

Targeted mailings are a snap, as are the impressive and useful
reports.

FundRaiser Basic sports an easy-to-use (yet powerful) importing
facility, so you can move your existing mailing list right into
FundRaiser Basic, without having to re-enter everything.

This newest version adds exporting capabilities, a new merge 
function for an end-of-year letter, some report changes, automatic
integrity checking of your data, and a pop-up calculator.

Enjoy!



Minimum Requirements:
  Any PC with 510k of available RAM, with DOS 3.1 or higher.  

  (OS/2 is also acceptable, but you must start the program by 
        typing:  FRB  /D  instead of just  FRB )



FundRaiser Basic requires no special installation.  

However, it is suggested that it be placed in its own directory named
\FRB.  A batch file has been provided to do that for you.  To run the
batch file, type:  INSTALL  and then press Enter.

To start the program, 
 1) change to the FRB directory:  CD \FRB  and press Enter
 2) start the program:            FRB      and press Enter

NOTE:  when you first start FundRaiser Basic, it will check your
       CONFIG.SYS boot file to make sure there are enough file 
       handles specified and will offer to make a change for you 
       if necessary. (FILES=22)
