                 **********  HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS  **********

   *  The program needs an MINIMUM of 4.0 Meg hard disk space to run.  
   Naturally as more receipts are written, the program data files will grow 
   over 4 Meg in size.

   *  640 K of RAM is required. 560 K free RAM when starting program is
      recommended. The FILES= in your CONFIG.SYS should be at least 30.
   *  DOS 3.30 or higher for the operating system.
   *  A line such as EMM386.EXE RAM - not EMM386.EXE NOEMS in your CONFIG.SYS
      CJPOS will run better if Expanded memory is available. If not using
      EMM386 then the 'mem' command from a C:\> prompt will tell if you
      have Expanded (EMS) memory.
   *  80286 or later micropressor.
   *  Will run in a DOS window in Windows (R) without any problems.

   The automotive demo data can be overwritten by a blank data set by
   1. PKUNZIP DBFBASE -o
   2. DEL *.NDX
   You can then restart the system.

                           **** INTRODUCTION ****

   This is the information & registration file on the program CJPOS.  
   CJPOS was created by Christopher J. Ryba to provide an EXTREMELY user 
   friendly point-of-sale program for my friend Christopher Kilcoyne ; 
   owner of Brookpark Certified Automotive Service in Parma, Ohio. He 
   wanted a program to print receipts and save estimates at his shop. 
   What evolved from simple beginnings in August of 1992 is rather complete 
   package for any small business who can dedicate a CGA or VGA IBM 
   compatible computer with DOS 3.3 or higher to point of sale operation.  
   Default printer drivers include the EPSON/Panasonic character set and the HP 
   command set. These printers have been tested. A printer driver creator is 
   available to registered users. Print receipts and reports from any port 
   - LPT1 thru LPT4; COM1 thru COM4.  
   
   Additional default printers are being added to PRINTERS.DRV in future 
   editions to assure compatiblity.

   IF TODAY IS PAST 05/31/1997 THEN YOUR COPY IS PROBABLY FAIRLY OUTDATED.

   ***************************** OPERATION ********************************
   
   This page is a quick rundown of operation. See MANUAL.TXT for
   more information.

   The list box on the left contains different departments. For BCAS 
   of Parma these departments are Services , Exhaust, Emmisions, Brakes, 
   Shocks & Struts, Springs, and so on till Miscellaneous. After 
   selecting one of these a window pops up with various categories.  
   For example, select the Exhaust Department with parts such as 
   mufflers, pipes, hangers, clamps, etc.  Using the cursor keys moves 
   a selection box to a part category.  Say we chose Mufflers, now
   striking the Enter key replaces the first window with a second window 
   listing the part numbers under that category. For our example,
   we choose #1811G of Mufflers by using the cursor keys again to move
   the selection box. This exact part number for Mufflers has the price 
   to go with it. Finally the quantity is prompted at the bottom of the 
   window; the default value is 1. If the SKU Number representing the 
   part is known that SKU can be scanned using barcodes or typed. To switch 
   to that mode of entry select "Toggle SKU / Menu Entry" from the 'Main'
   menu.

   For the Services department, canned descriptions of labor are 
   loaded in with their hour quantity.  These descriptions can be added 
   to. The appropiate labor rate is then selected. The Labor/Services 
   department is not required to be part of the system however.

   The beauty of CJPOS is that it is a "build on the fly" program in 
   which a user can add part, part number, & labor descriptions as 
   they're needed.  
   
   When a receipt is ready, it can be saved as an estimate, or finalized 
   as TENDERING to Cash, Check, Visa/MC, Discover, American Express. More
   tender types are optional. 
      Line items can be deleted or changed if an incorrect entry occured. 
   Customer names & information are prompted before the end of a sale.  
   This information can retrieved if a sale re-occurs to the same customer 
   at a later date by providing several letters of the last name, the last 4
   digits of their phone, or by their customer number. Your present customers 
   can be added if you desire. The 'Customer' screen provides an opurtunity
   to review previous sales history for customers as well.

   Back to the main menu, several other choices are presented.  Daily 
   sales (F8) can be viewed.  A daily printout sheet of these items is 
   provided.  Also the products sold for the day, week or any variable 
   period (2 days to ?)  can be tallied, viewed, printed, or output to a 
   ASCII space delimited, tab, or comma delimited text file for a spreedsheet
   program. ( Select export mode in 'System Setup')

   Inventory of part numbers is tracked and quantities altered in the 
   Inventory Menu.  A printout of loaded part numbers can done for 
   every department; a cost sum of positive inventory counts is included.
   The program saves all information in an DBF format that can be viewed 
   with a dBASE browse or other capable program (Excel, Quattro). See the
   PACKING.LST for explanation of each file.

                           DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE

      Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
      before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
      using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
      differ on details -- some request registration while others
      require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
      registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
      using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

      Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
      and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
      exceptions as stated below. For example, CJPOS is registered with 
      the U.S Copyright Office, Registration Number TX 3750659. 
      Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like 
      commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. 
      (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main 
      difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically 
      grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all 
      and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require 
      written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
      Shareware.

      Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
      should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
      whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
      fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
      And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
      has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
      product, you don't pay for it.
                 
      CJPOS is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
      to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your
      friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
      another system.  The essence of "user-supported" software is to
      provide personal computer users with quality software without
      high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
      continue to develop new products.  If you find this program
      useful and find that you are using CJPOS and continue to use
      CJPOS after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
      istration payment of $225 to Cuyahoga Computing.  The $ 225
      registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
      computer at any one time.  You must treat this software just like
      a book.  An example is that this software may be used by any
      number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
      location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
      being used at one location while it's being used at another.
      Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
      same time.
