This disk contains the shareware version of the NOBLE VACATION MANAGER.
This disk can be copied and distributed without charge.  If you use this
software on a regular basis you should purchase the registered version as
explained on the first screen of the program.

The NOBLE VAVATION MANAGER program and documentation are copyrighted
by Noble Software Co. and may not be modified any way.

*    Each Noble Vacation Manager file can maintain data for up to 200
     employees.  There is no limit to the number of files.

*    Every change to an employee's vacation time, sick leave time, or
     personal necessity time is recorded into a log file.  The log file for
     any employee can be changed (corrected), displayed or printed at any
     time.  The log file has a capacity of 15,000 records and can be cleared
     at any time.  When the file is cleared new records are created for the
     currently earned vacation, sick leave and personal necessity hours.

*    The Noble Vacation Manager will automatically accrue vacation, sick
     leave or personal necessity.  This function will increase your
     employees' earned hours for any time period desired; i.e. daily,
     monthly, yearly etc.  The auto accrue operation will create the
     appropriate log record(s) for each employee.  The auto accrue operation
     can be performed on all employees at once, or on a group (defined by an
     employee key), or on only selected employees (using the employee flag). 
     The number of hours to be accrued is predefined for each employee.

*    The Noble Vacation Manager has a 1-time auto accrue function.  It allows
     entry of hours for either vacation, sick leave or personal necessity,
     that will be used during the next auto accrue operation.  After the
     hours are processed the entry is cleared and the standard hours will be
     used during the following auto accrue operation.  

*    The program has many print options to choose from including a letter
     merge feature.  The letter merge allows merging data from the Noble
     Vacation Manager file with a DOS text file to create a personal letter
     for each employee.  The DOS text file can be created with a text editor
     or by most word processors (i.e. WordStar, WordPerfect, MS Word,  etc.).

*    The program's sort function allows one to sort the file by name, hours,
     employee key, etc.
