IN-CONTROL is a well-rounded business prospect/contacts and activity-
tracking system. It provides a Rolodex, activities list, management
reports, expense reports and an appointments tickler.

Everything is on-line with fast search capabilities.  The Rolodex
features names, addresses and notations retrieval and a graphic
``layer-in'' ability which lets you temporarily merge mailing lists. In
addition, it is network-ready.  The system also includes:
appointments tracking, expenses, graphics, free-form data search,
labels management and reports.  A built-in telephone dialing system
uses your modem and frees your phone for incoming calls.  A built-in
proposal and invoice generator is provided.  The program standardizes
your prospecting and follow-up information and converts forgotten
verbal commitments into a focused daily list of appointments and
callbacks that nets you extra business.

IN-CONTROL requires registration after you have placed 50 records in
the Prospect file.  If not registered, this program will lock you out
from access to the program, though the data files are always intact.

The  amount  of space remaining on your floppy disk in drive A is critical  to
the  functionality of this program.   All of your data and on-line Help  files
are stored on that disk.

If  you  have  less than 10,000 characters remaining,  remove ALL  Help  files
ending in 'DOC' and place them onto the third disk for this program, SALESDOC.
[The SALESDOC disk is not used interactively with this program]

Later on,  if you select a Help message, the program will display a message to
you that it cannot find that file.  At that point, you could exit the program,
copy  that one single DOC file from SALESDOC to the SALE-A disk,  restart  the
program,  then examine that Help file.   Let's say, for example, that you were
in the Labels Menu and you selected 'H' for Help.   If you had already removed
all  DOC files,  the program would display this message to you:   'Can't  find
that file [LABEL1.DOC]'.  In this case the on-line documentation for the Label
Menu is contained in LABEL1.DOC.  You don't need to memorize what DOC files go
with  what screens,  since the program will tell you the name of  the  missing
Help file.

Also, if you use the Memo function in the program and you appear to be running
out of space fast, go to the Other Options Menu periodically and enter option
9: Repack and Reindex.  That should free up space from the Memo files.



                       Index Error

The program cannot find a record in your file that has 'NEW' in the
name field.  This is probably an indexing problem.  When the  program
exits, erase all files that end in 'NTX'.

After you do this, start the program again and it will re-index itself.

If that does't work, you will have to restore your original empty
data files with this batch command:



                             Proposal or  Invoice

This  module  will create a proposal or an invoice from this current  activity
record.  It uses the name,  address,  and zip code from this record and places
that  information onto the form.   Observe that the form for this proposal  or
invoice  is  predefined and the program does not accumulate totals  from   one
printout  to  the  other.    This option is to be used as  a  convenient  word
processor, not as an accounting package.

Also,  note that the comment you entered into the activity record,  up to  200
characters, will be placed into the lower portion of the proposal/invoice. The
placement  of  your entries on the proposal/invoice will become clear  if  you
experiment a few times with this procedure.

If you want your own comments to appear in the lower portion of the proposal/
invoice, you can enter up to 500 characters of your own choice instead of
the comment that you entered into the activity record.
