          under the License terms below.


          III.  LICENSE

                1. WJS is being  distributed as Shareware; it is  not free.
          You are granted  a limited license  to use WJS for  an evaluation
          period of  up to 60  days, to determine  if it suits  your needs.
          Any  other  use  of   WJS  or  use  past  this   period  requires
          registration.

                2.  You are granted a limited  license to copy WJS only for
          the purpose of allowing  others to try  it, subject to the  above
          restrictions  as well  as  these:   WJS  must be  distributed  in
          complete   &   unmodified   form,   including    all   programme,
          documentation,  and other files; WJS may not be included with any
          other product  for any reason  whatsoever without a  license from
          Angel Babudro; no charge or payment may be levied or accepted for
          WJS except for a  fee of not more  than US$6 for the disk  and/or
          service  of  distribution;  the  file  CONFIG.WJS  is  not to  be
          duplicated except for back-up purposes.

                3. Bulletin  Board system operators  may post WJS  on their
          BBS  for downloading  by their  users without  written permission
          only if the above conditions are met, and only if  no special fee
          is necessary to access the WJS files (a general fee to access the
          BBS is okay).

                4. You may  keep as many backup copies of  WJS as you wish.
          The  Registered Edition  is limited  to  simultaneous use  on the
          number of computers indicated on your license and opening screen.

          IV.   TECHNICAL SUPPORT (HOW TO REACH ME)

                Comments, criticisms, correspondence, witticisms, Christmas
          cards, and vast quantities of unmarked bills are welcome here. If
          you have questions  or need help, just drop a  note to me through
          the mail or  a BBS listed below.   Registered users, vendors, and
          sysops  may contact  me  via  telephone  as  well.    Sysops  and
          shareware   vendors  please   see  VENDOR.DOC   for  distribution
          information.

                Mail        Angel  Babudro,  "Organic  Computer  Wizardry",
                            Box 132, Paonia, CO 81428 USA
                Phone       (303) 527-6756 Tue-Sat 10am-6pm Mountain Time

                If  I'm not home try  reaching me at  (303) 527-4866 (KVNF-
          FM).  I  cannot return long  distance calls -  I've tried and  it
          rapidly costs  way more than I  make from this shareware.   So if
          I'm not  at KVNF and you get my answering machine at home, please
          try again later.  Thank you!

                Official Distribution Bulletin Boards

                My  software  packages are  "free"  downloads  on the  BBSs
          listed  below - you need  not subscribe to  download my shareware
          (although other files or functions may  require subscription).  I
          use  the first  name  "Angelo" on  BBSs  since it  avoids  gender
          confusion (I'm  used to both  names anyway).   Scan for  the file
          name WML*.* to locate the latest version.

                       Western  Slope  (CO) (303)  241-1966  USR  DS modem.
                       This is my local BBS, so  it's a good place to leave
                       messages for me.  It's run by a computer club & they
                       allow  17 minutes  per  day  to non-club-members  so
                       you'll need  a high speed  modem to grab  the latest
                       version.


          V.    UPDATES, ORDERING METHODS, AND REGISTRATION FEES

                I hope that you are so happy with WJS that registering will
          be reward  enough in itself, but I think it's more fun & exciting
          to get  something  new.    And  so  you shall!    I  do  so  much
          programming  on this machine of mine that there are minor updates
          practically every  week, so  you will definitely  get an  updated
          version.   One  day I  realized  that if  I'm always  updating my
          software  some people  will want to  wait for that  day when it's
          "done."   So I  thought, "Hey,  wouldn't it  be nice if  software
          publishers gave out free  updates so you wouldn't have  to wonder
          when the  best time was  to register?"  So  I decided to  do just
          that...

                A. Updates Are Free

                When you register  you will receive  the latest version  of
          WJS.  Thereafter, you  can download new releases from  a computer
          bulletin  board system (BBS).  Just over-write the old files with
          the new ones.   The new version will recognize  your registration
          "stamp" in  your CONFIG.WDT file  (which is NOT  distributed with
          the  Unregistered Edition).  I  must reserve the  right to change
          this policy, but I foresee no reason to ever do so.  If you can't
          find WJS on a bulletin board in your area, ask a sysop about File
          Requesting (FREQing)  a file  from one of  the network  addresses
          listed on page 2.

                                  _________________
          



                Updates through the mail are available through the mail for
          $7.00 plus foreign shipping, if any.  If  you send me a disk with
          return postage you can deduct $2 from the update fee.

                How  often is WJS updated?  At  this stage I am releasing a
          new  version  about  every  three  months  with  a  major  update
          happening every eight to twelve months.

                B. Benefits of Registration

                1. You  may order  the complete  manual, printed  & 3-ring-
                   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:   You  will  have a  real person  (no
                   automated phone systems) who is 100% knowledgeable about
                   WJS   and  can  immediately   act  on   your  questions,
                   suggestions, comments, problems, etc.
                4. You can feel terrific about having done the right thing.

                C. How To Order

                U.S.  customers please  send cash,  check, or  money order.
          Canadian customers  please  send cash  or Canadian  International
          Money  Order (CIMO).   Customers  in other countries  please send
          U.S.  funds drawn  on  a U.S.  bank.    If you  send  cash use  a
          "security" no-see-through envelope  and you may  want to send  it
          via Registered  mail, too.   Purchase Orders  only accepted  from
          Fortune 1000 companies with a minimum $200 order.

                unless you need more information than is presented here.

          Complimentary  Registered Editions  - I'll  give  a complimentary
                registration for consideration as follows:

                1. Upload a package to at least five public  ("open") BBSs,
                   fill in  the Complimentary Registration form  below, and
                   I'll  send you  a complimentary  registered disk.   It's
                   nice  if  you  upload  to  time-share  systems,  private
                   ("closed") BBSs, or part-time BBS, but please do not use
                   these to apply for a complimentary registered edition.

                2. If  you  are a  consultant  or  other type  of  computer
                   professional  and your  recommendation leads  to one  or
                   more of your clients purchasing one of my packages, just
                   send me a  note with your client's registration  or have
                   them  mention your name when they register.  I will send
                   a complimentary  registered  edition or  an  update  for
                   every registration you get for me.  This is in lieu of a
                   multiple copy discount; I  intend it for consultants who
                   choose not to deal with sales tax.

                One complimentary  registration per  person or company.   A
          complimentary  registration is  just like  a paid  one -  you can
          upgrade it with a site license,  purchase manuals, etc.  It helps
          when  you send back disks to be  re-used - even the envelopes can
          be re-used.   When you order a  complimentary registration please
          fill in the  appropriate blanks below PLUS the  Invoice so I know
          what size  disk you need, and  please send me a  couple of dollar
          bills for shipping expenses.

                I will  promise these  complimentary offers until  at least
          12/31/94 - after that date please check with me first.

                                  What Job Summary?

          VI.   WHAT DOES THIS SOFTWARE DO?

                What Job Summary? is a tool  to help you keep track of jobs
                _________________
          for which you are contracted or sub-contracted.  WJS gives you an
          easy  way to  track  summary  information  about your  jobs;  the
                               _______
          estimating and  details are 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 can track up to  2.6 million jobs per year, which  is a
          limit  of the numbering system used; your practical limit will be
          determined by your computer  speed & hard disk capacity  and will
          probably be in the under-10,000-jobs-per-year range.  For each of
          these  jobs WJS has a place to  enter the relevant bid, cost, and
          income figures -  somewhat like a spreadsheet.  Since  WJS is not
          an estimating or  billing package, it seems  reasonable to assume
          that  you  will  have   total  amounts  calculated  from  another
          programme (or by hand).  For this reason, WJS does not attempt to
          duplicate  the functions  of these  other software  packages, but
          rather it takes totals and puts them all neatly in  one place and
          prints reports  which are  probably not  available in  your other
          software packages.

                The function keys are the same as the Timberline estimating
          package.    Whether  or  not  you  are  familiar  with  Timerline
          estimating, keep an eye on the  bottom of the screen for function
          key definitions.


          VII.  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

                Any PC-compatible  computer with at least 300k  of free RAM
          should work  fine, however a  286 or better  and a hard  disk are
          preferred since WJS  is a data base  application which inherently
          involves a lot of disk access.

                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 although I
          recommend only  3.3 and 5.0  be used --  it's worth the  money to
          upgrade.   WJS's operating speed  is quite acceptable  on an 8MHz
          80286  computer.  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.

                                         -8-














                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
          



                Theoretically,  WJS can  accommodate 2.6  million  jobs per
          year and each job can have  up to ten lines.  WJS uses  109 bytes
          per line of data, so you will need 11k to 107k 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.   In its  minimum configuration,  WJS requires
          about  216k of storage, so a 360k  floppy disk will have room for
          about 1,300 lines of data.


          VIII. FILES WHICH MAKE UP THE PACKAGE

                What Job Summary? consists of the following files:
                _________________

                file_id.diz * Description file for BBSs
                desc.sdi    * Description file for BBSs
                WJS.EXE       The executable file
                WJS.HLP       The help file
                WJS.TXT     * The ASCII file of this document
                WJS.WP      * WordPerfect 5 file of this document to format
                              for your printer
                READ.ME     * A file containing late-breaking news
                ORDER.FRM     Order form  for all  of my software  -- please
                              "TYPE ORDER.FRM > PRN" to print it
                PRINTER.DAT   Printer codes
                SYSOP.DOC   * Registration offer for BBS sysops
                VENDOR.DOC  * WJS distribution information

                These are the files which  make up WJS.  If  you distribute
          evaluation copies 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.  The files marked
          with an asterisk (*) can  be deleted if disk space is  a premium,
          but I ask that you please keep ORDER.FRM on disk until you decide
          whether or not to register.

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

          IX.   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:

                1. Put the floppy in a drive
                2. Type "d:INSTALL" where "d:" is your drive (e.g., "A:")

                INSTALL is not  necessary, however.   If you have  received
          WJS from a bulletin board then you have installed it by unpacking
          the archive.  I strongly  suggest that you put the software  in a
          directory  of its  own (for  example, C:\WJS).   You can  run the
          package  from any directory since  data files will  be created if
          they are not present.   In this way you  can also keep more  than
          one set of data files by using different directories.


                A.  Documentation Files

                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 5  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
          delete this file if you are using a menu or would rather type the
          commands yourself.

                B.  Using the Menus

                WJS employs the  familiar, standard 2-dimensional pull-down
          menu system.   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 three ways to select an item from the 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)
                3.  Use a mouse to  select the option you want  (click with
                    the left button)

                Some  sub-menus  (such  as  the  Help Index)  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

                Type "WJS" and press ENTER; press  "P" (Preferences) and go
          down  the list of  choices, setting each  screen as you  see fit.
          There is  on-line help which can  be accessed by  pressing the F1
          key  while on  any data  entry screen  or via  the  "Help" menu's
          "Index" option.


          X.    FILE MANAGEMENT AND EXIT

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

                A.  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.

                B.  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.

                C.  Making Back-up Copies of Your Files

                File/Back-up protects  your information by  allowing you to
          copy it  to another disk.   Using Preferences/Back-up  you should
          have decided how you wanted to perform a back-up -- using the DOS
          COPY command, ARJ,  LHARC, or  PKZIP (the default  is DOS  COPY).
          After you select File/Back-up  you will see a summary  window and
          the  system will pause for  you to enter  the back-up destination
          (which is  typically a floppy  disk drive, but you  may decide to
          back-up to another hard  disk, a network  drive, etc.).  All  WJS
          data files will  then be  backed-up to the  destination disk  and
          directory using the method shown in the window.

                Please  see also the  section on choosing  a back-up method
          under Preferences.

                D.  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,  if applicable, and select File/Restore.   The
          method used to restore the files will be the one specified on the
          Preferences/Back-up  window.  The  system will  pause for  you to
          enter the source drive -- the one you used when backing-up, which
          is typically a floppy disk drive, but may be another hard disk, a
          network drive, etc.   All WJS  data files will  then be  restored
          from the back-up copy to the WJS directory.

                Please  see also the  section of choosing  a back-up method
          under Preferences.

                E.  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 or want  to re-format a  disk to check  for any bad  spots.
          File/Format Floppies  lets  you  format  a floppy  disk  to  your
          computer's standard  density without  exiting WJS.   By "standard
          density" I mean  that if you  have a high  density drive you  can

                                         -12-

          only  format high density disks (in other words, WJS doesn't pass
          any parameters to DOS FORMAT).  There is an exception to this:

                If  you  have  What  Floppy  Format?  (WFF.EXE)   available
          somewhere in your DOS search path, WJS will automatically  access
          it for formatting floppy disks so you can format any kind of disk
          using  FDFORMAT.  (You will  receive a complimentary  copy of the
          latest version  of WFF with your WJS registration.  FDFORMAT is a
          Freeware product by another author and can be found on my support
          BBSs.)


          XI.   DATA ENTRY ("JOBS")

                The Jobs 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.   New jobs can  only be added  on the General
                screen.

                Notice the  available function  keys at the  bottom of  the
                screen:  F1 always  saves  and ends  the current  operation
                (e.g., if you are entering a line of information for a job,
                pressing F1 will save  the line and end data entry for that
                job).   F2  always  cancels the  current operation  without
                saving (old values are restored) (e.g., if you are entering
                changes to  a line and press  F2 the old data  for the line
                will  be restored  and  data entry  for  that job  will  be
                ended).

                A.  Entering New Jobs

                While  on the General  screen press  the Ins  (insert) key.
          The  cursor will "jump" to the bottom  of the window and wait for
          you to start entering information.  WJS will attempt to guess the
          next job number  based on the default job letter  (defined on the
          Preferences/Fiscal Year screen), the current fiscal year (defined
          on  the Preferences/Fiscal Year screen), and  the last job number
          on file  for that letter &  fiscal year.  Press  ENTER after each
          item you  enter.  Use the up and down  arrow keys to move between

                                         -13-














                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
          



          the  fields and  the right/left  arrows to  move around  within a
          field.

                B.  Editing Existing Jobs

                To change information on  either the General Info or  Costs
          screen  just  highlight the  line you  want  to change  and press
          ENTER.  You can then change anything on that line  except for the
          job number (Job  numbers are key items in the  files and can't be
          changed).   If  you must  change a  job number  you will  have to
          delete and re-enter the information.

                C.  Job Codes

                Each  job must have a unique identification code.  Each job
          code  may have one  to ten lines  of information.   Each line may
          have it's  own status, dollar  amount, and  bid due  date.   This
          allows you to group  separate elements of a similar  job together
          under one  job code.  For example, let's say you are bidding on a
          job  that will take several years to  complete and has been split
          into four phases; you are bidding separately on each phase.  When
          you enter  the job you can  put a "Phase  I" line, a  "Phase II",
          line, etc. and enter the dollar amounts, status, and bid date for
          each phase.   If  you get  two of the  bids just  mark those  two
          phases as "Y" (yes) and the other two as "N" (no).

                    1.   The format of a Job Code
                         ________________________

                    Job codes are  entered in the format "A#####" 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)
                and "#####"  is  a job  number  from  00000 to  99999.    I
                recommend  that you use the format "Ayy###" where "yy" is a
                two-digit  year, or the format "Ay####" where "y" is a one-
                digit year.

                    Using  this format of job  numbering gives WJS a simple
                but  effective and flexible means to separate jobs.  If you
                have no need  to separate your jobs just  make them all one
                letter such as "A" or the first letter of your name.

                    When you add new jobs WJS will automatically supply the
                next available job code  based on the default job  letter &
                fiscal year entered on  the Preferences/Fiscal Year screen.
                You can type over this with a new job code as necessary.

                    2.   How Many Jobs Can I Track?
                         __________________________

                    The filing  system used  by WJS  can store  5.5 million
                records per file.   Since each line is a  record this gives
                WJS  a  theoretical  limit  of  5.5  million  lines  of job
                information,  although  even  the  fastest  PC  would  have
                trouble with a file that  large.  (See System Requirements,
                above, for disk storage requirements.)

                    Practically speaking, then, WJS  is unlimited except by
                your  hard disk and computer  speed.  The  rule of "Ayy###"
                works well, but if you have more than 26,000 jobs  per year
                or if  you need to have more than 1,000 jobs under a letter
                then you  can make  up your own  numbering scheme.   A good
                alternative would be to  use a single digit year  (Ay#### -
                for example, J21001 for department J, year 1992, job #1001)
                which would give you  260,000 jobs per year for  ten years.
                Whatever numbering  scheme you use, remember  that each job
                must have a unique code.

                D.  Dollar Amounts

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

                E.  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,  even zeros --  "1192"
          won't work for 1/1/92 -- enter "010192" instead.


          XII.  REPORTS

                Rather  than describing  each  report here,  it makes  more
          sense  for you to print a sample of each.  Just highlight the one
          you  want, follow  the instructions  on the  screen.   The Status
          Report has  a sub-menu from  which you  must choose  one or  more
          report options.  The Work On-hand/Completed report has a sub-menu
          for which one item must be chosen.

                One  note:  I have  chosen  to  use the  extended  graphics
          characters  (ASCII  127-254) rather  than  use  the rather  crude
          vertical  bars (|),  plus  signs, etc.  for  the reports.    Most
          printers made after 1982  are able to print these  characters and
          it allows WJS  to print nicer looking reports.  If you experience

                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
          



          problems (e.g.,  you  see a  line  of italic  Ms  or Ds  where  a
          horizontal  line should be) look  in your printer's  manual for a
          Character Set 1  or 2  setting, which may  be a  DIP switch or  a
          front panel menu setting, and change it.  If you have trouble you
          can call me and I'll try to help.


          XIII. PREFERENCES

                The  Preferences  menu  contains  options  which  help  you
          customize the operation of WJS and set necessary parameters, such
          as the  type of printer you have.   Please check each Preferences
          screen before making full use  of WJS, otherwise something  might
          seem  wrong with  the software whereas  it is  due to  the set of
          conditions under which WJS is operating.

                A.  Settings: Back-up Method, Country, etc.

                Under the  File menu is an option which allows you to back-
          up & restore  your data  to/from other disks  for safety.   These
          operations  will use  the DOS  COPY command  unless you  use this
          option to change it.

                You will see a menu of  four choices of methods to use when
          backing-up and restoring:  DOS COPY (the default), ARJ, LHARC, or
          PKZIP.  In order to use ARJ, LHARC, or PKZIP compression software
          you must  have the compression  programme available  in your  DOS
          PATH.   In addition, you will  also need enough free memory (RAM)
          to run both WJS and the compression software.

                B.  Country setting

                WJS does not  yet make use of this setting,  but I have put
          it in the menus for near-future use.

                C.  Fiscal Year

                To  give you  a  report  of  your  job  activity  for  your
          company's fiscal year, WJS  needs to know the beginning  month of
          your fiscal year.  Select  Preferences/Fiscal Year and enter  the
          beginning  month number  (1 for January,  2 for  February, etc.).
          Highlight  the "Ok"  button  and press  ENTER  or just  press  F1
          (function keys are shown at the bottom of the screen).

                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.

                D.  Defining your Printers

                Before you can  print anything  you will have  to tell  WJS
          which printer you will use.  WJS can print reports  on PCL lasers
          or  dot  matrix  printers,  although  the Work  On-hand/Completed
          reports are  so wide that they  require 15-inch paper or  a very,
          very tiny font.   Until  you define your  printer(s) and  font(s)
          there will be a flashing message  at the bottom of the screen and
          you will not be able to print anything.

                The Printer definition window  shows the current  settings.
          Use the arrow keys to move around, and press the F3 key to change
          anything.  For example, to set your printer move  the cursor down
          to that  line then press  F3 and a  menu of choices  will appear.
          Highlight  your printer  (or one  compatible  with it)  and press
          ENTERr.   Then  move down  to the  font definition  and  press F3
          again.  Highlight your font selection and press ENTERr.  When you
          are  finished,  highlight  the   "Ok"  button  and  press  ENTER.
          Alternately, you can press F7 to save the screen and exit.

                    1.   Default Directory for Laser Printer Soft Fonts
                         ______________________________________________

                    If you define  a laser  printer you can  set a  default
                soft font directory by highlighting this field and pressing
                F3.   Enter  the directory  name on  your hard  disk (e.g.,
                "D:\VENTURA\") which  contains your  soft fonts.   WJS will
                check to see if the directory name you entered is valid and
                if  it exists, and will inform you  if not.  Then, when you
                set fonts  for printing,  you can  choose  the "Soft  font"
                option and select from your fonts on disk.


          XIV.  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.

          XV.   ERROR MESSAGES

                WJS has three types of errors which you may experience:

                1.  Logical  error - this is a minor problem, not really an
                    error at all.   An example of this type  of error is if
                    you  try  to  enter  a duplicate  job  number.    These
                    "errors" will appear  in a window  and, once you  press
                    ENTER or click on "Ok" WJS will continue its operation.

                2.  File error -  these problems cause  an error screen  to
                    appear  which  suggests  a  possible  solution  to  the
                    problem  and, if you can't fix it, my address and phone
                    number is shown  so you can mail  me the error  or call
                    me.   A common reason for  this error is that  an index
                    file  contains a  bad  entry (perhaps  due  to a  power
                    outage).  The most common solution to these problems is
                    to re-index your files (File/re-Index).

                3.  Programme  error - this is  a mistake of  mine and will
                    cause  the programme  to abruptly  end with  a one-line
                    error message  and  a message  like "Press  any key  to
                    return  to system."   Report these  errors to  me right
                    away,  please.  WJS is  a large huge  programme and the
                    bigger it gets, the more likely  it is that a few  bugs
                    will creep in  there somewhere.   These errors get  top
                    priority  and  are  usually  fixed and  a  new  version
                    released within a day.

                If anything  happens that you  don't understand, or  if you
          can't get WJS  to do  what you want,  I would appreciate  knowing
          about this so I can fix  the software or update the documentation
          as necessary.  Thank you for your help and support!  :)
