=================================================================
GETTING STARTED
=================================================================
Requirements:
To run the system it is recommended that you have a hard disk.
The system can be run on two floppies with limited disk space.
Dos Version 3.0 or higher is also recommended. Ram Memory should
be 640k or more.
You MUST have a CONFIG.SYS file on your startup disk. If you
have a hard disk then this file must be in your root directory
i.e. "C:\". If you are using floppies then this file must be on
your DOS diskette. The file must contain the following
statements:
FILES=35
BUFFERS=30
The system will not run unless these commands are added to your
CONFIG.SYS file. Once you have added them you must reboot your
system. This can be accomplished by CTRL-ALT-DEL sequence or
turning off the computer and turning it back on.
If you do not have an existing CONFIG.SYS file on your computer
then copy the one supplied on the program disk to either your
root directory (if using a hard disk) or to your DOS diskette (if
using two floppies).
Examples:
Hard Disk: Copy A:CONFIG.SYS C:\ (Program Disk in drive A:)
Floppy Disk: Copy B:CONFIG.SYS A: (Program Disk in drive B:)
=================================================================

MEMBERSHIP MODULE
=================================================================
FILE MENU
The File Menu allows you to Create, Modify, Delete, or View your
members.
To Create a new member select the "CREATE" option. A blank
screen will appear. Assign a "Family Number" and a "Member
Number" to this member. (See Note below for these numbers). Fill
in all information and Press the "PAGEDOWN" key. (If you press
the "ESC" key the record will NOT be saved.
*NOTE: Family Numbers are unique numbers that are assigned to
each Family Group. They can be any number from 1 to 99,999 but
each family must have a different number. Each Member within the
family will also have a two digit unique Member Number. An
example of this would be.. There are six members in my family,
Myself, My wife, 2 Sons, and 2 Daughters. Our Family number
might be 1000 but the member numbers would be different. I would
be member number 01, my wife 02, my first Son 10, my first
daughter 11, my second Son 12, my second daughter 13. The
numbers do not have to be assigned in the order I have assigned
them but they must be unique!
If you enter a family number of a family that has already been
created then the computer will retrieve information from the
existing family record and display it on the screen. This saves
time keying duplicate information within family groups.
The field "Family Mail (Y/N)" is very important. This is were
all mail is going; such as Church Bulletins, etc. My record
would be coded Family Mail "Y" and the rest of the family would
say "N". That way we do not have 6 Church Letters going to the
same address. There is a filed for the name you wish to appear
on the Mailing Label. Here you can put "Mr. and Mrs. Ron byxbe".
Otherwise the name will be the members name.
The Church Status codes are "RM" for Resident Member, "NM" for
Non-Resident Member, and "PR" for Visitor or Prospect.
*** PLEASE READ ***
When you have entered all information press the "PAGEDOWN" key.
This will save your record. (** Do not press the "ESC" key
unless you wish to abort the record).
When you have entered the last Member and pressed the pagedown
key the computer will display an empty screen. Here you can
press the "ESC" key to leave the Member Create Option.
Edit Member Record
The "EDIT MEMBER RECORD" allows you to change information on a
given record. You can page back and forth through the Database
by pressing "PAGEDOWN" or "PAGEUP". If you want to go directly
to a member you can press the "F1" key, enter part of the
person's last name, and the computer will take you directly to
that spot.
Edit Employer Info
This option allows you to enter information about the members
work including telephone number.
Delete Member Record
The "DELETE MEMBER RECORD" allows you to delete the entire record
on a given record. You can page back and forth through the
Database by pressing "PAGEDOWN" or "PAGEUP". If you want to go
directly to a member you can press the "F1" key, enter part of
the person's last name, and the computer will take you directly

*NOTE: If you do very much deleting you will want to ReIndex
your data files. Do this by selecting the "SYSTEM MENU", then
"REINDEX FILES MENU", then "ALL FILES".
Change Member Numbers
This option allows you to change a member's number. There are
several reasons for this. One good example is marriage. Your
son or daughter gets married. They are no longer part of your
family group but have now become their own family group. You can
use this option to change their numbers.
View Members on Screen
This option will display all members currently in the database.
You can page forward only by using the "PAGEDOWN" key. If you
wish to go directly to a name in the database press the "F1" key,
enter part of the last name, press enter and the computer will
start the display with this name.
REPORTS MENU
There are several reports in this section. I will not describe
each one of them but tell you about some of the parameters needed
to run them.
Starting Date and Ending Date: This option has been
misunderstood for some time. Basically what I am asking is for a
date to start looking at and a date to quit looking at. Example
would be: If I am printing a Birthday report I would ask for a
Starting Date and an Ending Date. I would then print all
Birthdays that fell on or between these dates. If you enter
02/01 and 02/28 I would print all Birthdays on and between Feb 1
and Feb 28.

SHAREWARE
=============================================================
This program is "shareware". Shareware is a marketing method
by which a user can "test drive" the program before paying
for it. The normal "test drive" period is two weeks to a month.
After that period, continued use requires registration. Registration
is just $95 (plus $4 shipping). Included with registration is
the right to use the program, the latest version of the program,
and 30 days of free telephone support for Installation.
Fees paid for a copy of this program do not constitute registration.
This means that when you pay a shareware distributor $3-4 for a copy,
you have not paid for continued use of the program. It means you
have paid for an evaluation copy.
