                        PERSONAL INFO MANAGER   
                      ͼ

     The QUE Accounting Personal Info Manager system is a
     conglomeration of various functions geared toward the individual
     interested in time management and the freedom to record
     transactions and create reports on information databases designed
     by him or herself.

     Some common uses include:

          The salesman who desires to record appointments, to record
          notes on meetings, to store information on customers and
          perhaps to create letters merging that information into the
          body of a letter for each selected customer.

          The businessman who uses a computer to record notes and
          perform calculations and imports information from a
          spreadsheet into a database to produce reports in several
          different sequences and summaries.

          The accountant who uses the file creation utility to design
          a general ledger and then uses the update function to enter
          transactions and the Query and Report Writer to produce
          financial reports, summarising by account classification
          that he has designed.

     The system is composed of the following functions:

               Ŀ
                        EXIT TO DOS

                        GO TO DOS              
                  DESCRIPTION
       

     The EXIT to DOS function simple exits the system and returns you
     to the operating system.

     The NOTEPAD is a mini word processor that provides block copy,
     move and delete commands and the ability to merge with any file
     and produce personalized letters.

     The CALCULATOR is a standard calculator that also includes the
     ability to move a calculated amount from the calculator to any
     numeric field in the UPDATE function.

     The PHONE DIRECTORY is a nice databases that keeps track of phone
     numbers and addresses. The functions provided include an auto
     dialer and a mass mail utility.

     The APPOINTMENT CALENDAR is a nice way to keep track of
     appointments whether past or future. The comment field provides
     ample room to keep notes pertaining to a specific appointment.

     QUERY and REPORT WRITER provides the ability to display or print
     records using any valid boolean selection criteria. In a real
     sense, this product allows the user to create his own report
     formats by selecting the fields and their sequences. 
     Some notable features include the ability to save selections for
     future reference and the ability to select information from
     several files simultaneously.

     The UPDATE A FILE selection provides the ability to select a
     file, include a filter and display the chosen data in a table
     display allowing addition, deletion and modifications. 

     The DESIGN A FILE option is used to create databases to store
     information. It is in this feature that the system becomes unique
     to your requirements. There are no limits to the number of
     databases (files) created and they may include alphabetic,
     numeric and date information. 

     The SYSTEM SETUP is used to configure the system with report and
     screen headings and to restrict access through password
     protection.

     The IMPORT and EXPORT functions are used to convert data from
     foreign systems such as LOTUS and ASCII based files to the 
     Personal Info Manager(PIM) and vice-versa.

     The GOTO DOS function provides access to the operating system
     without leaving the system. Its uses included changing
     directories and checking disk storage and if memory allows to run
     other programs.
    NOTEPAD:  
    

     The NOTEPAD is a handy, mini word processor that will meet most
     of your word processing needs. It works most effectively with
     memo size files but may be used to access larger documents. Like
     many word processors it is limited by the size of available
     memory. Most typical users (640K) will not have a problem.
     However, it is a good  precautionary measure to periodically save
     your file as you are typing.    
     The NOTEPAD option may be activated from the menu or by pressing
     the F4 key from within other designated functions.   The
     following keys are active within the NOTEPAD window.   

          Alt-A  (A)ppend a file to current file and continue    
          Alt-G  (G)oto line number
          Alt-H  (H)elp screen
          Alt-I  (I)nsert line 
          Alt-K  (K)ill current line
          Alt-L  page (L)ength for printing
          Alt-M  change (M)argins
          Alt-N  edit (N)ew file
          Alt-P  (P)rint file
          Alt-Q  (Q)uit but save edits
          Alt-R  search and (R)eplace
          Alt-S  (S)ave file & continue
          Alt-T  (T)oggle wordwrap on/off
          Alt-W  (W)rite to new file
          Alt-X  e(X)it without saving
          Alt-Y  change director(Y)/wildcard
          ALt-B  (B) place a block marker
          Alt-F  Insert a field from a database

    FUNCTIONS:

     EDIT WINDOW/STATUS LINE: when you enter the notepad, the edit   
     window takes up nearly the full screen.  There is a status line
     at the bottom, which displays the name of the file being edited,  
     the current line and column position of the cursor, the left and
     right margins, and the status of wordwrap and insert    modes
     (displayed when active as "<Wrap>" and "<Ins>", respectively.)   
     When a file has been edited, an asterisk will appear at the right 
       side of the top row (next to the "Alt-H=Help" message).

     CURRENT DIRECTORY/WILDCARD - the notepad gives you the ability to 
     change the working directory and/or filemask at any time.  When   
     you first enter the notepad, the current directory will be set to 
     the default DOS directory, and the wildcard will be set to '*.*'. 
     If you would like to change either the directory where the
     notepad looks for files or the wildcard used (e.g., "*.TXT",
     "*.PRG"), press Alt-Y and enter the new information.  You do not
     have to enter slashes in front or back of the directory name
     UNLESS you include a wildcard.  For example, to change the
     current directory  to "\ACCT\", you need only enter "ACCT".   
     However, if you want  the notepad to look for all the .TXT files
     in subdirectory    \ACCT\, you must enter "\ACCT\*.TXT".
     If you enter just the wildcard, the current directory will remain 
       unchanged.  If you enter a directory name only, the wildcard
     will    be reset to "*.*".  If you press Enter without typing in
     anything,    neither the current directory nor the wildcard will
     be changed.    Examples: let's assume that your application is in
     a subdirectory    named \WORKSTUF.  The initial current
     directory/wildcard will be    set to "\WORKSTUF\*.*".  If you
     press Alt-Y and enter "*.TXT <CR>",    the directory/wildcard
     will be changed to "\WORKSTUF\*.TXT".  If    you wish to change
     to the ACCT subdirectory, press Alt-Y and    enter "\ACCT <CR>". 
     The directory/wildcard will then be changed    to "\ACCT\*.*".  
     Suppose you then want to look at only the .TXT    files starting
     with the letter P in the directory \ACCT    You would press Alt-Y
     again, and enter "\ACCT\P*.TXT".

     FILENAMES: when you press Alt-N to edit a new file or Alt-W to   
     write to another file, a scrolling window will appear containing  
      all files that match the current directory and wildcard mask.   
     The directory and wildcard mask will be shown at the top of this  
      window for reference.  Note that files with the following
     extensions    will not appear in this directory, based on the
     assumption that    there should be no need to edit binary files:
     .EXE .COM .DBF .NTX    .DBT .NDX .OBJ.    To select a file, move
     the highlight bar to it and press Enter.    Also note by pressing
     a letter key, the first file starting    with that value is
     highlighted. PgUp, PgDn, Home and End    keys are also available.
     
     INSERT and WORDWRAP: the start-up values for these modes is on.   
     They may toggled off and on at any time by pressing Insert and   
     Alt-W, respectively.  The status of these modes appears at the
     right    side of the status line.  Additionally, the cursor size
     will change    from large (insert) to small (overwrite) based on
     the current mode.   

     MARGINS: the start-up margins are 1 and 80.
     However, you may    change these margins at any time by pressing
     Alt-M and entering    the desired values.  When you change the
     margins, the on-screen    display will adjust to reflect the new
     margins.  You may use larger    values for the right margin than
     would appear on the 80-column    screen.  In such instances, you
     should toggle wordwrap off and    scroll to the right to display
     text beyond the on-screen right    margin.  The current values of
     the margins appear on the status line.
     Text will adjust to the new margins unless hard returns (enter
     key) is identified in which case a break will occur to a new
     line.

     PAGE LENGTH: the start-up page length for printing is 60 lines. 
     You    can change this at any time by pressing Alt-L.

     SEARCH AND REPLACE: you can search and replace for all or for
     only    a specific number of occurrences of a character string. 
     When you    press Alt-R, you will be prompted first to enter the
     search string,    then the replacement string.  You will then be
     asked if you want to    replace all occurrences of the search
     string.  If you answer 'N',    you will be prompted to enter the
     number of occurrences to replace.    Please note that the search
     begins at the top of the file and    continues either to the end
     of the file or until the specified    number of occurrences have
     been replaced.

     PRINTING: you may print the current file at any time by pressing  
      Alt-P.  Printing may be aborted at any time by pressing Esc. 
     The    format of the printed page is determined by the current
     settings    of the margins and page length.

     BLOCK COPY: used to highlight a block of text to be copied moved  
      or deleted. Alt-B both starts and stops the block marking. A   
     third Alt-B brings up the function window.   

     FIELD INSERTION: used to bring in fields from a database. The 
     selected fields will be printed in the body of the letter. 

     ** Used from within the Query function after desired file and
     records have been selected. (F4 activates Notepad) 

     DOCUMENT EDIT KEYS

     Several key combinations may be used to facilitate the word
     processing  function. They include:

          Ctrl-Y    delete the current line
          Ctrl-T    delete word right
          Home      move to beginning of line
          End       mov.de to end of line
          Ctrl-Home move to beginning of current window
          Ctrl-End  move to end of  current window
          PgUp      move to previous window
          PgDn      move to next window
          Ctrl-Pgup move to beginning of memo
          Ctrl-Pgdn move to end of memo
          Enter     create a hard return - goto next line

   CALCULATOR:
   

     This is a useful calculator that includes all the basic
     operators: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), and
     division (/).    But it also has some other goodies, including
     exponentation (^), percentages(%), a paste function and a
     full-featured memory.  Plus, whenever you press an    operator
     ('+', '-', '*', '/', or '^'), the previous number is shown   
     above the display window.  This is handy for when you are
     processing a    list of numbers and forget where you were.  Also
     the calculator can be    moved around the screen using the
     directional arrow keys.    The maximum value that can be stored
     in the calculator is    99,999,999,999.9999.

    Active Keys:

     '+' -- addition                        '-' -- subtraction
     '*' -- multiplication                  '/' -- division 
     '^' -- exponentation                   'C' -- clear current
     'E' -- clear entry (does not clear previously entered number
            in pending operation)
     'P' -- print (adding machine mode)     'M' -- Memory
     '=' or Enter -- process operation       Esc -- exit
     'R' -- round to number od decimals
     'D' -- change number od decimals displayed
     '%' -- percentage
     'Ctrl-p'  -- paste function
     backspace -- erase last digit

    Calculator movement keys:

     UpArrow      -- move calculator up one row
     DnArrow      -- move calculator down one row
     LtArrow      -- move calculator left one column
     RtArrow      -- move calculator right one column
     Ctrl-LtArrow -- move calculator to far left (rows unchanged)
     Ctrl-RtArrow -- move calculator to far right(rows unchanged)
     Home         -- move calculator to top left corner
     End          -- move calculator to bottom right corner
     PgUp         -- move calculator to top row (columns
                     unchanged)
     PgDn         -- move calculator to bottom row (columns
                     unchanged)

    Memory Functions:

     To access memory functions, press "M", then one of the
     flashing function keys.  The function keys are:

      'R' -- recall number stored in memory
      'C' -- clear memory (reset to zero) 
      '+' -- add current number to number stored in memory
      '-' -- subtract current number from number stored in memory
      '*' -- multiply number stored in memory by current number
      '/' -- divide number stored in memory by current number

    PASTE function

     The paste function enables you to paste the current calculator
     value    into a numeric field while adding or changing records in
     a file.    However, erratic results may occur if the number of
     decimal    places in the number to be pasted is larger than the
     number    of decimals of the field described in your file. For
     example,    suppose that you have just used the calculator to
     derive the result    75.2877.  You wish to paste this number into
     an amount field on the    screen prior to popping up the
     calculator. If the field is only 2 dec-    imal places than the
     probability is strong that this number will be    stored
     on-screen as 75.29 (although internally it will remain 75.2877).

    PRINT  - Adding machine mode

     By pushing "P" for Print, the calculator emulates an adding
     machine.    This will be noted by a small "P" to the right of the
     number window.    Each calculation will be sent to the printer
     (if it is on-line).    After all, if you have invested several
     thousand dollars in PC    hardware (and software), why bother
     spending more money on a ten-key    adding machine?  Press "P"
     again to leave adding machine mode.

   PHONE / ADDRESS DIRECTORY:
   

     This allows you to maintain a phone database with names,
     addresses,    and phone numbers of business and personal
     contacts.  If you have a    modem, you can dial any of the phone
     numbers in your database.  You    may also print mass mailings to
     some or all names in the phone file.  The user interface is a
     browse-style window.  You can view, add, edit, and delete records
     from the phone database.

    Active Keys:

         A     -- add a record to the database
         E     -- edit highlighted record
         D     -- delete highlighted record
         Up and down arrow keys -- scroll through the database
         Esc   -- exit the phone directory
         alt A -- view/edit address information for the highlighted
                  record
         alt L -- print listing of all names in the phone directory 
         alt M -- mass mailing to selected or all names in phone
                  directory.
         alt-P -- dial highlighted phone number
         alt-R -- redial last number
         alt-S -- communication parameters 

    ADDRESS INFORMATION

     Press alt-A to view and/or edit address information for the
     highlighted    person.  A box containing that information will
     appear in the middle    of the screen.  You may enter information
     in these fields as    desired.  You can then press Ctrl-W to save
     your edits, or Esc to    exit without saving.  Either way, you
     will be returned to the browse    window.

    REPORTS

     Press alt-L to print a list of the names in your phone database. 
     You    will be asked to select the sort order: (1) by last name;
     (2) by    company; or (3) by phone number.  Pressing Esc at this
     prompt will    abort the printing process. 
     
     ** Use the Query Report Writer to create more specialized
     reports.

    MASS MAILING

     Pressing alt-M enables the mass mailing feature.  You will first
     be asked whether you wish to send letters only to selected names. 
     (Names are selected if the field "MAIL" shows as "YES").  A list  
     of files in the current directory will then appear, and you will  
     be prompted to select one to use as the merge document.  Once you 
     have selected the merge document, you will be asked to enter the  
     left margin (the default value is 10).

     ** To change the directory EXIT to DOS and use the change
     directory command (CD)

    AUTO-DIALING

     Press alt-P to dial the highlighted number (first, make sure that 
     your modem is hooked up and turned on).  The default
     communications  port is 1; if you wish to configure the dialer to
     use a different port, use the Alt-S function.

    COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS

     PBX - all numbers are preceded with a pause if this is on
     Modem initialization string -- Default is ATZ (Hayes)
     Modem hangup -- Default is ATH (Hayes)
     Tone/Pulse -- T for tone dialing, P for pulse
     COM port -- 1 for COMM1, 2 for COMM2
     Local Area Code -- used to preclude dialing the area code on
           local calls

   CALENDAR/APPOINTMENT TRACKER
   

     This is a pop-up calendar with an integrated appointment tracker. 
     You can point and shoot on any date to add, edit, or view   
     appointments for that date.  You may also print or delete   
     appointments for any range of dates.    When you first enter the
     calendar, the current month will be    displayed along with the
     first two weeks of the next month.  The    current day will
     blink.  Any days that have appointments will be    displayed in
     reverse video. The following keys are active within the calendar:

         Left-arrow     Go backward one day
         Right-arrow    Go forward one day
         Up-arrow       Go backward one week
         Down-arrow     Go forward one week

    ADDING/EDITING/VIEWING Appointments

     Use the navigation keys to move to the desired date, then press   
     Enter.  A browse window will appear near the bottom of the screen 
       showing the time and description of all appointments for that
     date.    If there are not already appointments for that date, you
     will    automatically be placed in Add mode.  Press Ctrl-W to
     save this new appointment,    or Esc to exit back to the
     calendar.  Appointments may be edited by    highlighting the
     desired appointment in the browse window and    pressing 'E'. 
     You may also add a memo to each appointment by    highlighting
     the desired appointment and pressing 'N'.    You may return to
     the calendar by pressing Esc.    Recurring Appointments - if you
     wish to add an appointment that will    recur on a regular basis,
     press 'R'. You will have the following options:

         i.    Every day-of-week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.)
         ii.   Every other day-of-week 
         iii.  Every ... day of the month (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
         iv.   Every day
         v.    Every weekday (not applicable to weekend
               appointments)

     Move the highlight bar to the desired frequency and press Enter.

    PRINTING Appointments

     To print all appointments for a range of dates, Press"P". You
     will be prompted for the start and ending dates and if
     appointments are found, notes to appear on the printed report.

    DELETING Appointments

     You may either delete appointments for a single date or for a
     range    To delete a single date's appointments, use the
     navigation keys to    move to the desired date and press "D". 
     The number of appointments    for that date will be shown, and
     you will be asked to confirm your    deletion request.  As with
     printing, if there are no appointments    for the selected date,
     you will get a non-fatal error message.

     To delete appointments for a range of dates, you will be prompted
     to    input the starting and ending dates.  The starting and
     ending dates    will initially be set to the highlighted date,
     but you will    certainly want to change them.  As with deleting
     a single date's    appointments, the number of appointments to be
     deleted will be shown    and you will be asked to confirm your
     request.  If there are no    appointments in that range of dates,
     you will receive a non-fatal    error message to that effect.    

    TIME BLOCKS

     Pressing "T" will display the days appointments in a graphical
     bar chart. Available and used 15 time blocks are indicated in
     solid and dotted blocks.

    CHECKING Daily Appointments ("Tickler")

     Each time the system is accessed, the system checks to    see if
     any appointments are scheduled for the current date. If some   
     are found they will appear on the screen. This function may be
     toggled off and on by changing the CHECKAPP flag in the SETUP
     file.   QUERY / REPORT WRITER
   

     The RW Query and Report writer function is a powerful utility to  
     select information upon complex condtions set with 'easy to   
     follow' instructions. It can even be used to access files outside 
     the QUE Accounting series or programs.

     The popup window style access allows you to select files, set   
     relations between files and to select the fields to appear on the 
     output. The output may be directed to either a table format on   
     the screen or a report. If the desired file is not yet created
     use the DESIGN A FILE option to do so and then proceed to enter
     records by selecting the 'All Records for XXXXX' query
     automaticaly set up during file creation or import the data from
     a DOS ASCII file (see IMPORT ASCII).

     Chosing Files

     When you first enter the program, a listing of files in the   
     current directory are displayed. Highlight the desired file(s)   
     and press F10 to continue to the next phase.   

     Making Relations

     When more than one file is selected, the first file chosen is   
     considered the parent and a relation must be set between it and   
     its children( subsequent files). To relate files select the field
     in the parent by highlighting it and pressing enter. Select the
     corresponding field in the child file.

       eg. Soc Sec Num   relates to   Soc Sec Num

          Press F10 when complete.

     Select, Sorted by and Where

     This section tells the computer what data is to be selected and   
     in what sequence.    Select the fields from the files and press
     F10 when complete.    Sort the fields in the order in which you
     would like to see    them displayed by selecting them in the sort
     sequence.

       eg. Lastname FirstnameThe Where section uses boolean algebra and range values to   
     create a subset of data.

       eg. State='PA' .and. Lastname>'MAAA' .or. rate>100.00

     Screen or Printer Output

     The selected information automatically goes to a table display   
     but may be redirected to a printer.    Printed reports may
     include one or more of the following:      report headings     
     subtotaling      summation      averaging      maximum and
     minimun values      margins      page widths and lengths      The
     math functions are also available while in the screen mode.

     Saving the Query

     The selected boolean criteria may be saved for future reference   
     by pressing the F6 key and entering in the brief description.   
     Saved queries may be accessed and executed at any time   
     eliminating the need of having to rekey in the selection   
     criteria. Each time executed the latest data is read from the   
     files.

     Mail Merge

     The most versatile mail merge function is a combination of the
     Query and Report Writer and notepad functions. Although a mass
     mailing may be done through the Phone Directory and Update a File
     option, only through the Query and Report Writer can fields be
     selected from multiple files!

     To use this feature proceed with creating your query and execute
     it as normal. Hit the HOT key (F4) for the notepad while in the
     display table of the selected records. Select the memo desired
     using ALT-N and select the desired fields using ALT-F. The ALT-F
     will display a table of all fields from the open databases. The
     preface to each field indicates the source database.

     Press ALT-P to print and answer "Y" to the question for printing
     multiple letters unique to each selected record.
   DESIGN a FILE
   

     To create a file, enter the name, type and length of the fields   
     desired. The naming conventions used should reflect the type of
     information stored. For example, assume the following fields were
     added to create a database used to store deposit amounts made to
     customer accounts:

       Field name Type Len Dec
       ---------- ---- --- ---
       ACC-NUMBER  N   10   2
       ACC-NAME    C   20
       ACC-AMT     N   10   2
       ACC-DATE    D    8

     Note all fields are preceded with 'ACC-' to reminds us that the
     information relates to Accounts. Any nomenclature can be used as
     long as the field length does not exceed 10 characters.


     EDITS:

     The name of each field must be unique to the file. The maximum
     length    for any field is 99. Only numeric fields may have
     decimal places. Any    Date type (D) fields will automatically be
     set to a length of 8 with    MM/DD/YY format at the time the file
     is created.    By default, records entered or updated must match
     the edit criteria    established when the file is created.      
     Only numbers can be entered for (N)umeric type fields.       Only
     valid dates for D type       Any character for (C)haracter type.  
      When done entering fields, leave the Name field blank. You will
     then be    asked for the file name you wish to call the new file.
     If a file with the    same name exists in that directory, you'll
     be asked to abandon operation or    overwrite it.
     Records are added to new files by creating a 'ALL RECORDS'
     criteria and    then using it to display the table entry form to
     the screen. Use the    add mode as defined above.    
   UPDATE A FILE
   

     This function provides the ability to update your databases. It
     also allows the selection of a given subset of information and
     the desired sequence of appearance to the table display. A file
     is selected by highlighting it and pressing enter. The second
     screen to appear is a listing of queries used to access the files
     in your system. If no query is created for the selected file,
     press F10 aqnd create one at this time. A query is necessary to
     access files. An all encompassing query may be created by simply
     pressing the ESC key when in the F10 New Query mode. A brief
     description field will be displayed to describe the query. In
     this case 

          "All records for this file ?????" 

     would suffice, where ????? is the name of the file selected.

     If a query is already present, select it to gain acess to the
     file. If no records are found, you will be prompted to enter the
     add mode.

     The active function keys include:

          B-Z        Search for a given record
          +          Add a record
          -          Delete current record
          Ctrl Home  Top of screen
          Ctrl-End   Bottom of screen
          Pgup       Previous page
          Pgdn       Next page
          Home       Beginning of current record
          End        End of current record
          Esc        Return to menu
          Enter      Open up current field for changes

     If the UPDATE field in the System Setup table is set to False, no
     update will be allowed.


   SYSTEM SETUP
   
     
     This function allows you to set the appropriate flags to control  
     operations and to protect system access with a password.


     CHECKAPP  - toggle on/off whether the daily appointment
                 check is done at start-up.
     UPDATE    - toggle on/off whether or not the update
                 mode is activated.
     PASSWORD  - if a value is entered in this field than it
                 will be prompted for when trying to access the        
                 system startup function. If you forget the value
                 assigned delete the SETUP.DBF file from the
                 directory and start over.
     SCRHEAD   - the value to appear on the first line of the
                 menu screens.

   WRITE ASCII file
   

     This option will take any selected DBASE file and create a fixed
     format    ASCII file that can then be imported to other computer
     systems such as    word processors and spreadsheets. Most
     applications provide a complete    description on importing and
     exporting data to and from other systems.    The DOS operating
     system for one, allows the creation of fixed files using    the
     COPY CON and ECHO commands among others.    The format currently
     produced is a fixed length file where fields are not    delimited
     with special characters(, space, ..) but are accessed by their   
     relative position in the file.

     IMPORT ASCII file

     This function reads any fixed format ASCII file into a predefined 
     DBASE file for processing by the QUE PIM system.    Most
     applications provide the ability to create ASCII files    very
     easily.  Please consult the manual specific to your    system for
     instructions.

     GO TO DOS

     This option is a means to access DOS without leaving the query   
     system. Be aware of memory limitations prohibiting execution of   
     programs too large to fit into the reduced space.

   HOT KEYS
   

     Within certain functions 'hot keys' or the function keys assigned 
     to a given module may be pressed to create a layered environment. 
     What that means is that while entering a memo in the NOTEPAD, I
     may want to do a quick calculation. By pressing the F6 key I can
     popup the calculator, peform my calculation, exit with ESC and
     return to the exact spot within my notepad from where I left off
     typing. Below is a list of what modules allow for 'HOT KEY'
     processing:

       EXIT TO DOS         NONE
       NOTEPAD             F4 F6 F7 F8
       CALCULATOR          NONE
       PHONE DIRECTORY     NONE
       APPOINTMENT CAL     NONE
       QUERY / UPDATE      F4 F7 F8
       DESIGN A FILE       F4 F6 F7 F8
       SYSTEM SETUP        F4 F6 F7 F8
       WRITE TO ASCII      F4 F6 F7 F8
       IMPORT ASCII        F4 F6 F7 F8
       GO TO DOS           NONE
