          IV.   INTRODUCTION

                What Job Summary? is  a nifty little programme to  help you
                _________________
          keep  track  of  jobs  for  which  you  are  contracted  or  sub-
          contracted.  WJS gives you an easy way to track a summary of your
                                                            _______
          jobs;  the estimating  is  left entirely  up to  you.   WJS  then
          provides reports for the banker and bonding company as well as to
          help analyze your work load.

                WJS  employs  the  standard  2-dimensional  pull-down  menu
          system which is familiar to most PC and Macintosh users.  All you
          need to do is highlight your choice and press ENTER or just press
          the highlighted letter of your choice.  What could be simpler?  I
          have  designed  WJS to  be  used  without  a manual  as  much  as
          possible.

                The  function keys I chose  are the same  as the Timberline
          estimating package.  If you are used to Timberline using WJS will
          be second  nature.  If not,  just watch the bottom  of the screen
          for the function keys to use.

                Please feel  free to  contact me with  comments, questions,
          etc.  I am available as a consultant and programmer  if you would
          like  custom modifications to my software  or if you don't have a
          local "computer  person."  I  may be  a good answer  man to  call
          before you pull your hair out.  :)

                Thank you for your interest in What Job Summary?
                                               _________________

          V.    REGISTRATION

                A.  The Next Two Releases Are Free

                When you  register you will  receive the latest  version of
          WJS.   Plus the  next two  updates will  be sent  to you  free of
          charge.

                Following the two free releases you will receive notices of
          any  other releases in the  mail.  The cost of  a new release (no
          matter  what  version  you are  using)  is  10%  of the  original
          registration  fee  plus  shipping.   You  may  also  upgrade your
          package  to any higher level  for the difference  in cost between
          levels -- you don't pay  more, so you can just get  what you need
          and upgrade as necessary.

                B.  The Other Five Benefits of Registration

                1.  You  may order the complete  manual, printed & bound or
                    on-disk/ready to print for your laser printer.
                2.  The 7-second pause at start-up will go away.
                3.  Technical  Support: My 4-month-old  son handles all the
                    tech support calls ;), but for everything else you will
                    have a real person who  is 100% knowledgeable about WJS
                    whom   you  can  contact  with  suggestions,  comments,
                    questions, problems, etc.
                4.  You'll have helped one of the little guys -- someone who
                    isn't a huge corporation.  (Thank you...)


                C.  How Much Does It Cost?

          Single Copy costs  $65 in U.S.  or Canadian funds;  I wish  there
                weren't any exchange  rate, so I'm  willing to forget  that
                there is one...

                You will receive the latest, registered version of What Job
                Summary? with  automated installation, the  latest revision
                of  this  documentation  on  disk, two  free  updates,  and
                notification of  updates beyond the free ones.   (See below
                for detailed manuals on paper or disk.)

          Multiple  Copies / Wholesale  -- If you would  like to resell What
                                                                       ____
                Job Summary? or have multiple locations at which  you would
                ____________
                like  to install  WJS, you  may receive  a discount  on the
                price of WJS as follows:

                  2-4 copies on the same order                  $40.00 each
                  5 or more copies on the same order            $32.50 each

          Site License  -- purchase one  copy of WJS  and use it on  as many
                computers  as necessary  at a  single location of  a single
                business.  Add the amount below to your registration fee.
                - Up to 4 computers                                     $25
                - Up to 10 computers                                    $50
                - Up to 20 computers                                    $75
                - Any number of computers                              $100

          Manuals  -- these are typeset with Ventura Publisher, printed on a
                laser printer, and placed in a binder (very nice  looking).
                Every  screen  is  shown  and explained,  basic  data  base
                terminology  are discussed,  and  an index  is included  to
                locate  topics quickly.  Although I want people to have and
                use these manuals, I am concerned about our  planet hurting
                from  deforestation, so I would like to encourage people to
                only order  manuals if  necessary.  Experienced  users will
                probably  prefer the  concise docs  provided free  on disk.
                Purchasing multiple copies or a Site License  gives you the
                right to photocopy the manual yourself, if you prefer,  for
                the  number  of copies  purchased  or  number of  computers
                licensed.

                Pricing for manuals is as follows:
                  First copy                                          $8.00
                  2nd through 4th copies on same order           $7.00 each
                  5 or more copies on same order                 $6.00 each
                  Formatted output  of the  complete manual  for your
                  printer  from  Ventura  Publisher (many  megabytes,
                  hard disk required for temporary work space)        $5.00

                D. How to Get a FREE Registered Edition

                My Shareware career is  just getting started, and I  know I
          need some help from all of you BBS users to be successful.  So if
          you'll help me  in one of  the following ways  I will send you  a
          free registered copy:

                1. Write a  review of one of  my packages and post  it on a
                   BBS.  Send me a copy of the review with the BBS's header
                   on  it and the  BBS phone number.   Please  give me your
                   honest criticism and praise in a good review  (more than
                   a one-liner).

                2. If  you upload a package to at least five BBS's, send me
                   the names and  phone numbers  of the BBSs  to which  you
                   uploaded.

                3. If you have an  idea that would make my  software better
                   please send it  to me.  If  I use your idea  I will send
                   you a registered copy with your idea in it.

          VI.   SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

                Any PC-compatible computer with at  least 300k of free  RAM
          should work fine,  however a 286 or  better is recommended and  a
          hard disk is certainly a big plus since the programme & data must
          reside in the same directory.

                WJS has been tested on MS-DOS  3.3 and 5.0.  It should work
          properly under PC-DOS or  MS-DOS version 3.1 or later.   You will
          need  about 240k of  disk space for  WJS and  its necessary files
          plus  disk space  for the information  you will  enter.   Any dot
          matrix printer should work fine.  If yours isn't on the list, try
          one of  those that  are -  most use  similar  codes, the  biggest
          variant being font  codes.  If your printer won't  work with what
          is  there, please tell me and your registered edition (or update)
          will include your printer.

                WJS can accommodate 26,000  jobs per year and each  job can
          have up  to ten lines.  WJS  uses about 21k per  line of data, so
          you  will need  21k  to  210k of  storage  per  100 jobs  entered
          depending on the number  of lines used.  Data  base applications,
          such as this  one, tend to  access the disk  frequently so it  is
          much better to  use a hard disk, but WJS can  run on a floppy.  A
          360k floppy disk will have room for about 300 lines of data.

                When you register please  note your printer model so  I can
          be sure it is included in the list of supported printers.


          VII.  FILES WHICH MAKE UP THE PACKAGE

                What Job Summary? consists of the following files:

                These are the files  which make up WJS.   If you distribute
          evaluation copies of WJS to friends and bulletin boards please be
          sure to  include all of  these files.   Additional files  will be
          created in the same directory as you use the software.

                Registered users -- please keep the file CONFIG.WJS only for
          yourself  as  it contains  your registration  stamp.   Share only
          those files listed above.


          VIII. RUNNING What Job Summary? FOR THE FIRST TIME

              If  you  received  your  copy  of  WJS  on  disk  it  has  an
          installation  programme on  it.   Using  INSTALL  is faster  than
          setting up manually, and it won't change your AutoExec or CONFIG,
          so I'd  suggest just putting  the floppy  in a  drive and  typing
          "d:INSTALL" where "d:" is your drive letter (e.g., "A:").

              When INSTALL  is finished  it will  offer to unpack  included
          archives.    WJSDOCS.EXE contains  the  documentation  files (see
          below).

              If you have received WJS from a bulletin board it should have
          been extracted  into its  own directory.   Then just type  WJS to
          run.

                A.  Documentation Files

                WJSDOCS.EXE  is a self-extracting  LHARC archive  (LHARC is
          (c) by Haruyasu Yoshizaki).  I am using LHARC to  help WJS fit on
          a  360k  floppy  without  sacrificing  documentation.     WJSDOCS
          contains  two   files:  WJS.TXT  and  WJS.WP.    To  extract  the
          documentation just type "WJSDOCS".

                If you have WordPerfect 5, just load WJS.WP.   Instructions
          for re-formatting  are in a comment  at the top of  the document.
          If you don't have WordPerfect or a way to convert the WJS.WP file
          to  your word processor, then use  WJS.TXT which is an ASCII file
          generated  from  WordPerfect  for  a "standard  printer."    Your
          printer  should be set to CR/CR (carriage return does NOT produce
          a  line feed),  which is  the most  common setting.   If  you see
          double printing of titles change this setting.

                After  INSTALL is finished you can type "WJS" to start What
                                                                       ____
          Job Summary?.  The  "WJS" command runs a batch  file which merely
          ____________
          changes  to the proper drive & directory  then runs WJS.  You can

                                  What Job Summary?

          delete this file if you are using a menu or would rather type the
          commands yourself.

                B.  Using the Menus

                I  have  used what  I  understand  to be  an  SAA-compliant
          (Standard Applications  Architecture, an IBM slogan) menu system.
          Most  folks know  it  better as  the  Macintosh or  Windows  menu
          standard.  Basically,  there is  a horizontal menu  of choices  --
          File, Data Entry, etc.  Under each of the horizontal choices is a
          menu  of functions  pertaining  to  that  item --  it  is  a  two-
          dimensional menu, in other words.

                There are two ways to select an item from the main menu:

                1.  Press  the letter  which is  highlighted in  the option
                    description
                2.  Use  the  Up/Down/Right/Left  arrows  to  highlight the
                    option you want then press ENTER (a.k.a. RETURN or CR).

                Some menus do not have highlighted options.  On these menus
          you must  use the arrow keys to  highlight your choice then press
          ENTER.

                If you want to cancel an operation you selected, just press
          the Esc ("Escape") key.

                C.  Quick Start

                That's  easy  --  type  "WJS" and  press  ENTER;  press "P"
          (Preferences) "S"  (Setup).   There  is a  brief, on-line  manual
          under Help/Index for quick reference.


          IX.   FILE MANAGEMENT, SET-UP, AND EXIT

                The choices under the File menu have to do with your system
          set-up, file management, and ending the programme.

                A.  Set-up - Fiscal Year and Print Quality

                When  you access the File/Set-up screen you will be able to
          change the setting for  your fiscal year beginning month  and the
          quality of print you want used for reports.



                                         -10-














                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
               Copyright (c) 1992, Angel Babudro.  All rights reserved.
          



                Enter two digits, from 01 to 12, for the beginning month of
          your fiscal year (where 01 is January, etc.).

                WJS assumes you have  a wide-carriage (15-inch) printer for
          the  Work On-hand/In progress reports  since it is  a 200+ column
          report.   If  you have  a 10-inch  (narrow carriage)  printer you
          won't be able to print the Work reports.  On a laser  printer you
          can manually set the  printer for landscape mode and a small font
          like Line Printer.

                B.  Year-end Close-out

                The purpose of this function is to remove jobs history from
          the files,  thus freeing  up disk  space.   When you  select this
          option you a window will open with three fields to fill in:

                1.  Cut-off year (assumes current year minus 2) -  All data
                    during  or before  this year  will  be erased  from the
                    file.

                2.  Keep pending jobs  on file  - If you  answer "Y"  (Yes)
                    then jobs with a  "P" (pending) status will be  kept on
                    file, regardless of their bid date.

                3.  Report  to printer - If  you answer "Y"  (Yes) then all
                    jobs  which are removed from the  file will be printed.
                    An audit trail, if you will.

                C.  Rebuild Indices

                This  function is  provided in  the event  you ever  have a
          power  outage or  for some  other reason  the index  files become
          damaged.  If you notice anything strange -- like dates are in the
          wrong  order,  records are  mysteriously  missing,  etc. --  just
          rebuild the indices and they'll probably go away.

                D.  Making Back-up Copies of Your Files

                File/Back-up protects  your information by allowing  you to
          copy it to  another disk.   The next version of  WJS will have  a
          Preferences menu, under which  you will be able to choose how you
          want to perform a back-up  -- using the DOS COPY command  or ARJ,
          LHARC,  or PKZIP compressors.   After you select  this option you
          will see a summary  of the files  to be backed-up.   If you  have
          more than  one floppy disk drive you will be asked to select one.
          All WJS data files will then be backed-up to the floppy disk.

                                         -11-

                E.  Restoring Files from a Back-up Copy

                If you ever  need to recover data files from  a floppy disk
          you made using the Back-up command (above), just place the floppy
          disk in its drive and select File/Restore.  If you have more than
          one floppy disk drive you  will be asked to select one,  then the
          data  files will  be copied from  the floppy disk  onto your hard
          disk.

                F.  Formatting Floppy Disks

                This option is  for those  times when you  have decided  to
          make a back-up copy of your data but don't have  a formatted disk
          handy.  File/Format  Floppies lets  you format a  floppy disk  to
          your computer's  standard density  without exiting  WJS.   If you
          have a high density drive you can only format  high density disks
          (in other words, WJS doesn't pass any parameters to DOS FORMAT).

                If   you  have  What  Floppy  Format?  (WFF.EXE)  available
          somewhere in  your search path  WJS will automatically  access it
          for  formatting floppy disks (so  you can do  whatever you want).
          You  will receive a complimentary  copy of the  latest version of
          WFF with your WJS registration.


          X.    DATA ENTRY

                This  menu of  What Job  Summary? lets  you enter  the data
                               __________________
          pertaining to your jobs.  There are two data entry screens:

                1.  General  job information  (number,  name,  bid  amount,
                    estimated cost, and bid due date)
                2.  Cost figures (bid amount, original estimated cost, cost
                    to date, billed to date, revised estimated cost)

                NOTE:  You  must first  create a job  on the  General
                screen  before you may access  it on the Cost Figures
                screen.

                A.  Job Numbers

                Job numbers are entered in the format "Ayy###" where "A" is
          a letter used to segregate jobs (perhaps different departments in
          your  organization,   different  companies  owned  by   a  larger
          corporation, or for different types of jobs).

                B.  Dollar Amounts

                Enter currency figures without any symbols, such as commas.
          The only non-numeric character allowed is a period/decimal point.

                C.  Bid Date

                Enter the bid date in the form "mmddyyyy" (month/day/year).
          For example, "01011992" is Jan. 1, 1992.  The slashes are entered
          for you.    Be sure  to fill  in  all numbers  -- "1192"  is  not
          "01011992".


          XI.   REPORTS

                Nothing  tricky  here.   Just highlight  the one  you want,
          follow the instructions on the screen.  S'all there is to it!


          XII.  HELP

                The Help  menu has two options:   About and Index.  "About"
          gives  some  information about  the  programme  and free  memory.
          Index gives  a menu from which  you may choose a  topic and press
          ENTER, whereupon a helpful window of information will appear.  :)
          It's a handy (albeit brief) on-line manual.
