        INSTALLATION INFORMATION:

        TO INSTALL:
                     1. Start your computer.
                     2. Put the disk in A drive.
2.                   3. Move to the DOS C: prompt. (Type and enter: c:)
                     4. Then, type and enter: a:install
                     5. Make all installs from drive A.

        TO USE the system: At the DOS \ prompt, type and enter: ez

        You will get a three choice menu and a prompt to type and enter
        a key word to run one of the three modules that make up the EZ
        BUSINESS system.  The key words are: ezmoney, ezstock, and ezpay.

        EZMONEY is the Point of Sale and Accounts Receivable module.
        EZSTOCK is the Inventory module.
        EZPAY is the Payables, Income, Expenses, and Wages module.

        At installation, two Directories: \EZMONEY DIR and \EZPAY DIR
        will be made, and 4 small .bat files will be added to the \DIR.

        EZ BUSINESS is for a 286/386/486 computer, and runs from DOS 2-6.
        Your CONFIG.SYS file in the C:\ Directory, should have these two
        lines:  FILES=20, and BUFFERS=20.  The numbers can be bigger.
3.      To look at that file, type and enter: type c:\config.sys
                                                                       
        To avoid conflicts with other software, run the system from DOS.
        A DOT MATRIX printer is needed for labels or cards.

        MENUS, SCREENS AND OPERATIONAL INFORMATION ON THE EZ MONEY MODULE

        The following describes most of the menus and screens in the
        module.  Depending upon the menu option selected, additional sub
        menus and screens may be presented.  Also, the menus and screens
        shown here may not be exact replicas of the system's menus/screens.

        The objective here is to show the basic menus and screens in
        general form, and provide operational tips and information.

        EZ MONEY - P O S & ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE with INTEGRATED INVENTORY

7.                        MAIN   MENU   OPTIONS

                      1 - Prepare Invoices & Estimates
                      2 - Add, Update, & Age Receivables
                      3 - Add and Update Accounts
                      4 - Bills, Reports, Labels & Lists
                      5 - Add Name, Tax Rate, Date, Area
                      6 - Reindex, & Other Misc. Items
                      x - E x i t

        Let's begin with option 5.  If you select it, you will get a
        a screen containing blocks for entering your company name and
        address, and phone and fax numbers.  The information will print
        on estimates, invoices, and bills.  You also can add in your
        sales tax rate and your Area code for use in the system.

        EZ MONEY is designed so that you do not have to make entries
        if you do not want to, except in a few situations.

        Your company name can be displayed above the main menu and
8.      some of the sub menus.  Select menu option 6 to do that.

        Use option three to set up accounts.  It is good practice to set
        up accounts before invoices are prepared and amounts charged to
        those accounts.  However, that is not necessary.  An account can
        be set up "on the fly" during the preparation of an invoice if a
        balance will be owing.

        When option three is selected, a window will appear and present
        you with a sub menu of options for adding new accounts, dropping
        accounts, or changing current account information.

        When adding accounts, you will be presented with a screen that
        shows current account data in list form.  You can check the list
        to see if the account you are going to enter is already on file.

        This same type of feature is used other places in the system to
        assist you in keeping track of where you are and what you last
        did.  This can be very helpful if you are interrupted and have to
        do something else or you stop what you are doing for awhile.

        The new account screen details are shown below.  The same data
        blocks appear on the account modification screen.


                         NEW  ACCOUNT  SCREEN
                                                         # 123
             Attn:       _____________________________________
             Name:       _____________________________________
                                              Business y/n ___
             Address:    _____________________________________
             Location:   _____________________________________
             Extra:      _____________________________________
             Phone:      ___-___-____      Fax/ID_____________

        A name, address, and phone entry are required to set up an
        account.  That data is needed for bills and making accounts
        receivable contacts on outstanding balances.

        The Name, Address, and Location line are the main mailing address
10.     lines.  All five lines will print single spaced on estimates,
        invoices, and bills and well in from the left margin for use with
        window envelopes.

        The name entered on the Name line will print as entered on
        invoices and bills.

        For looking up account names, business names will appear
        alphabetically as entered if you enter  y  in the "Business y/n"
        block.  For example, EZ SOFTWARE will appear with the E's.

        Non business names will appear last-name-first.  The name JOHN
        SMITH will appear with the S's and be shown as: SMITH, JOHN.

        You do not need to make a last-name-first entry for personal
        account names.  If you do not enter a  y  in the Business y/n
        block, the system will find the last name, and enter it last-
        name-first in the data field that is used in displaying account
        names.  However, when printed, personal names will print as
        entered.  For example, John Smith will print as John Smith.
11.
        This and other features have been put into the system to save
        time and effort, and make the system user friendly.

        For example, lower case entries can be used for selecting menu
        options.  In many cases you can leave a menu and return to a
        prior menu by just pressing the Enter key.  If you select
        Main Menu option 5, and then enter your phone area code in the
        box set up for that purpose, the area code will be entered for

        you in the area code space on the New Account screen and Invoice
        screens.  If you do not want to enter area codes, you do not have
        to.  If you select Main Menu option 2, you get the following.

               MENU FOR ADDING, UPDATING, AND AGING RECEIVABLES

                    a = Add or Update Line Items
                    b = Scan Line Items as Entered
                    c = Age Open Items 15/30/60/90
                    d = Scan/Print Aged Item Totals
12.                 e = Dump Old AR File Records

        If you select option "c", you are given the option of which date
        to use to determine what outstanding amounts are over 15/30/60/90
        days.  You can then use option "d" to view or print the aged
        amounts.  That data can be used to identify those accounts that
        may need to be looked at more closely.

        If you select option "a", you will first be presented with a list
        of account names and numbers for use in identifying the one you
        want.  The listing will be in alphabetical order as stated above.
        Selection is made by account number or phone number.

        Once an account is selected, you can:
        1. change or update individual account items,
        2. have the system apply a payment against any open items, or
        3. add one or more new items.

        If you wish to change individual items, they can be selected
        from a listing that will appear on the screen.  When changes are
13.     made, the account balance will be updated.  All account balances
        are updated when a charge, credit, or payment is made.

        Payments can be applied to individual entries, or you can have
        the system apply a payment against any open items starting with
        the oldest open item.  Any remainder will appear as an account
        credit item.

        For adding new items, you get the following:

        SCREEN FOR ADDING LINE ITEM CHARGES, PAYMENTS, AND CREDITS

        Charges-Payments-Credits on Account # _____  Name...............

        Item  Charges    Notes that print on bill.     Payments  Credits
        4000  _____.__   ___________________________   _____.__  ____.__
        4001  _____.__   ___________________________   _____.__  ____.__
        4002  _____.__   ___________________________   _____.__  ____.__
        4003  _____.__   ___________________________   _____.__  ____.__
        4004  _____.__   ___________________________   _____.__  ____.__
14.
        Four additional lines of entries are shown on the real time screen.

        Each item is numbered and dated by the system for tracking and
        updating.  Only lines with money amounts are added to the files.
        The system date is used for billing and report purposes.

        If you wish, a prior day's entries can be made the next day.  To
        do that, use Main Menu option 5 to change the computer's system
        date.  After the entries are made, be sure to reset the date again
        using Main Menu option 5.

        New items are added in fixed order to the file and the account
        balance is updated at that time.

        For billing purposes, items are selected based on the posting
        date.  As such, items must be added in chronological or date
        order to make sure that statement entries and balances agree.

        If an item is not posted timely (within a billing period), it
15.     should be added later using the later date with a remark giving
        the true charge date.

        PREPARING INVOICES AND ESTIMATES:

        If you select Main Menu option 1, you get the following menu:

                    MENU FOR INVOICES & ESTIMATES

                    a = Prepare an Invoice
                    b = Reprint an Invoice
                    c = Prepare an Estimate
                    d = Duplicate or change Estimates
                    e = Convert Estimates to Invoices
                    f = Dump Old Invoices or Estimates

        Two screens are used in preparing invoices and estimates.
        The first screen asks for basic name and address information.
        For established accounts that data can be obtained by scanning
        the accounts file and selecting the account you want.  The name
16.     and address information for that account will then be duplicated
        for you.  That data also can be duplicated by the system for use
        as the shipping address if you wish.

        Name and address information does not have to be entered unless
        there will be a balance owing.  If that is the case, an account
        has to be established before you can complete the transaction
        using the system.  All entries can be changed if you wish.

        The first screen also has blocks for an employee name or number,
        for the amount paid, and for a purchase order number.  There
        also is a type-of-transaction block for adding words such as
        cash, visa, check, etc. on invoices.  The words can be entered
        with one key stroke by using pre-set letter-word combinations
        that you can add using Main Menu option 3.  Once set up, the
        letter-word combinations will appear as prompts on the screen.

        When an invoice is printed, the type-of-transaction block will
        be checked.  If there is an letter entry and a corresponding
        word or phrase, the word or phrase will be printed near the
17.     bottom of the invoice.  Up to ten letter entries can be made
        in the type-of-transaction block.

        You do not have to do this.  But, if you want to have words or
        phrases showing the type-of-transaction printed on invoices,
        you can save key strokes by setting up code words.

        You can use the shipping address information blocks for notes if
        you like.  That can be helpful if you are processing a credit.
        Entering a reference to the prior invoice can be a big assist when
        reconciling account items.

        There also is a window on the screen that gives the invoice
        total, taxes, amount paid, and balance due.  It is updated as
        the invoice is being completed.

        Separate invoices must be used for sales, returns, and account
        payments on prior sales.  That is necessary to keep account
        records and sales reports accurate.

18.     Report data will be the basis for paying taxes and should be
        accurate.

        Sales and returns are attributed to the employee identified in
        the employee data block when completing an invoice.  When sales
        reports are obtained for a period of time, the amount of net
        sales for each employee can be obtained.

        Account payments invoiced separately are not treated as sales.
        They are excluded from the net sales figures just mentioned.

        On the reports provided by the system, sales amounts, sales tax
        amounts, return amounts, and return sales tax amounts are shown
        as separate items.  As such, if sales and returns are combined
        on the same invoice, the reports will not be accurate.

                             INVOICE ITEMS
                                                            Tax
        Quan     Stock #        Description         Price   y/n   Cost
        ____.__  _______  ________________________  ____.__  _  ____.__
19.     ____.__  _______  ________________________  ____.__  _  ____.__
        ____.__  _______  ________________________  ____.__  _  ____.__
        ____.__  _______  ________________________  ____.__  _  ____.__
        ____.__  _______  ________________________  ____.__  _  ____.__
         + / -

        Twenty lines are available for entries.

        Negative entries can be made in the quantity blocks for returns.
        Also, stock numbers if known can be entered.  If one is entered,
        the system will check the inventory file.  If a match is found,
        the description information and price will be added to the invoice
        by the system.  That information can be changed.  If stock numbers
        are used, the inventory file quantities of the items selected will   
        be adjusted just before the invoice is printed.  If whole units are
        not entered in the quantity blocks and stock numbers are used,
        inventory amounts will be adjusted to the nearest whole number.
        Inventory amounts are not adjusted when an estimate is prepared.

        The system is designed to provide feed back to the user when
20.     practical and possible.  In situations when you are entering
        data, feed back "beeps" and the like can be annoying when they
        occur over and over and over.  Hopefully, you will find that
        there is a good balance between feed back which lets you know
        where you are, and no-feed-back which can keep you guessing.
        Feed back can help prevent errors.

        Output documents should be reviewed for input errors.  Also,
        individual account line item entries should be checked against
        input documents.  A computer can give one a false sense of
        security.  Keep in mind who is doing or who has done the input.

                 SCREEN FOR REPORTS-BILLS-LISTS-LABELS-CARDS

                      1 = Reports

                      4 = Print 3 1/2" or 4" Labels
                      5 = Print Rolodex or 3 x 5 Cards

21.     Here is the Reports Screen:

                      R E P O R T S  -  S C R E E N

                      1 = What Are Non Account Totals?
                      2 = What Are Account Totals?
                      3 = What Are The Totals And Taxes?
                      4 = What Are EE Sales Less Returns?
                      5 = What Are The AR Item Totals?
                      6 = What Is The AR Balance Due Now?

        If you then select options one through four, you will be asked
        to provide dates for selecting the report data.  The following
        represents what you get when you select option 3.

                          What Are Both Totals:

        OPERATIONAL TIPS AND ASSISTANCE

        TWO METHODS FOR USING THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FILE:

        METHOD 1:  A business may make AR File entries to record service
        or product charges to established accounts.  As payments are
        received or credit given, additional AR File entries may be made.
        The AR File entries will show up as line items on bills.

        Payments and credits should be added using menu option number
        three. It is: 3 = Apply Pay/Cred to Any Open Item in Entry Order.
42.     This option automatically applies a payment or credit to the
        oldest open item, and then to any newer item still open.  It also
        adds a note to show the amount applied, and if needed, a note to
        show any excess payment/credit amount.

        METHOD 2:  Other businesses may use invoices to record service or
        product sales.  When a "charge" invoice is made to an established
        account, the system automatically adds an AR File entry for each
        invoice made.  It also adjusts stock quantities if needed.

        Invoices should be used to record all SALES and CREDITS.  Then
        the report of total account sales and credits, which is made from
        invoice data, and the report of AR File totals will match.
        Payment option three should be used to record PAYMENTS.

        When a CREDIT invoice is prepared, any needed adjustments in
        stock quantities are made, and a credit entry will be added
        to the AR File for established accounts.

        The amount of the credit will not be applied automatically to the
43.     AR File charge entry that was initially made and now serves as the
        basis for the credit.  Use the "Scan & Update Current Items" option
        to do that.  First, apply the amount of the credit to the AR File
        charge entry that was initially made.  Then, reduce the new AR File
        credit entry by the amount applied and add the note: "applied above"
        to the new credit entry.

        Be consistent in the method used.

        DUMPING OLD RECORDS:

        At the start of each year:
        1.  Print data for use in preparing tax forms and reports.
        2.  Make a copy of the EZ Income, EZ Expense, and EZ Wages records.
        3.  Dump the Income, Expense, and Wage "old" data records.

        You should keep other data items for more than the current year.

        TIPS ON SPEEDING UP OPERATIONS

44.     Microsoft's WINDOWS comes with two files that may speed up
        operations.  They are HIMEM.SYS and SMARTDRV.SYS.  They assist
        in memory and hard drive management and are described in the
        WINDOWS User's Guide.  Consult it for more information.

        If you have WINDOWS, check your CONFIG.SYS file in the C:\
        Directory and the AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE IN THE C:\ DIRECTORY to be sure
        they contain lines that deal with HIMEM.SYS and SMARTDRV.SYS files.

        TROUBLE SHOOTING:

        If a situation comes up when things don't work as they should,
        stay calm.  You most likely are not at fault.  ALL MODULES HAVE
        A RE-INDEX OPTION.  USE IT.  THAT MAY RESOLVE THE SITUATION.
                                                                      
        You should back up the data files regularly.  The EZPAY module
        contains back up routines.  The EZMONEY module does not, as the
        .dbf files in the \EZMONEY DIR may become quite large over time.
48.
        Data base files (.dbf) are used.  If you wish to access them
        or import them into some other software system, 1. copy them
        to some other place first, and 2.  DO NOT COPY THEM BACK.
        If the files are changed in any way, you may have a problem.

        Also, the files in the \EZMONEY DIR and the \EZPAY DIR must be
        kept separate.  Do not copy them to the same disk or DIR.

        EZ MONEY "works as is" on most computers.  Keep your system's
        set up simple.  It is best to run EZ MONEY from the C:\ prompt.
        However, you should be able to run it from Microsoft Windows.

        EZ Money is designed to run from DOS 2 to 6 on a 286-386-486.
        If you have memory resident programs that load when you start
        your computer, or if you operate from a menu system or other
        software, you may have system or memory conflicts.

        You can re-install the system at any time.  The data that is in
        the files in the \EZMONEY DIR and the \EZPAY DIR, will be brought
49.     into the re-installed system automatically if space is available.

        Because of the very low cost of this product, support is limited.
        Questions on how the system works usually can be resolved by reading
        the booklet, making up a "test" account or person, and then making
        some entries.

        TIPS ON RESOLVING POSSIBLE MEMORY CONFLICTS

        If one of the EZ Business modules will not "run" and you see
        the message: Error 43, you may need to free up some memory.

        This situation can occur if "memory resident" software utilities
        or device drivers for use in running sound cards and similar
        devices, are installed on your computer.  They use up working
        memory and can prevent the EZ-Business system from operating.

        WARNING!  If you are using disk compression software like MS DOS
        DBLSPACE or STACKER, DO NOT make any changes unless you know just
        what you are doing or you may mess up and/or destroy your files.

        We sincerely hope that you will find EZ BUSINESS to be EZ-to-use
        and a time and money saver for you.
