HERITAGE CHURCH SYSTEM is designed to automate the most mundane
clerical tasks of the local church. Record and access contributions
and membership information in a quick and concise manner. Entries can
be made for families in general and for each individual in a family.

Each entry includes the name, address, phone, and church status. An
envelope number can be entered if pre-numbered envelopes are used for
recording family giving. Contributions are entered separately and the
program then processes the data in a weekly accounting system and
prints contribution reports for each family.

Mail merge capabilities work with PC-WRITE and Microsoft WORD,
allowing mass mailings to the congregations.

We Goofed!  and we sincerely apologize.

Due to a programming oversight on our part, files were not being
correctly updated during a transaction record purge.

Most sites noticed this after year-end, since they purged their
files then.  The enclosed version of Heritage Church (version 1.03A)
corrects this problem, however you may still experience some file
inconsistencies.  Therefore we have written a "fix" program which
appears on this disk also.

NOTE: The following procedure is only necessary if you have purged
records from your transaction file! ! ! ! !

The following procedure will synchronize your data-base once again:

 1. Start Up Heritage Church (HCS)

 2. Select the SYSTEM FUNCTIONS selection from the main menu.

 3. Select the PURGE option.

 4. Select TRANSACTION records for purge.

 5. When prompted for the latest cycle to retain, enter: 8800

 6. After the purge, exit from the program to DOS.

 7. Key in: DBFIX.

 8. After the program completes, start up Heritage Church (HCS).

 9. Select the CONTRIBUTIONS option.

 10. Select GIVING.

 11. When prompted for the Family ID, simply depress ENTER.

 12. Your files will now be synchronized.

 We apologize for this inconvenience and any concern which this may
 have caused you.  We are constantly working on this product, however
 the potential always exists that we may miss something (Microsoft does
 too, so we're not alone).

 Our Apologies,

 Jim Thomson,

    HERITAGE CHURCH SYSTEM is designed to automate the most mundane
clerical tasks of the local church. The program records and accesses
contributions and membership information in a quick and concise manner. Not
only can entries be made for families in general, but also for each
individual in a family.

    Each entry includes the name, address, phone, and church status. An
envelope number can be entered if pre-numbered envelopes are used for
recording family giving. Contributions are entered separately, and the
program then handles the data in a weekly accounting system. Address and
contribution reports can be printed out for each family or individual.

    In addition to all this, HERITAGE CHURCH SYSTEM has mail merge
capabilities with the word processors PC-WRITE and Microsoft WORD, thus
allowing you to do mass mailings to the congregations.

        Mail Merge interface with the PC-WRITE word processor by 
        QuickSoft.

                                        Sincerely,

                        HERITAGE CHURCH SYSTEM
                            Version 1.05
                       Password Security Feature

    At the request of many churches, we have introduced PASSWORD
    security as a feature of Heritage Church.  This feature may
    be turned on or off at the local site at will.

    Turning PASSWORD checking on is activated by including the
    U option of the HCS Environment variable.  This means from
    the DOS prompt, the following command will enforce password
    checking:

              SET HCS=U

    If you intend to user PASSWORD checking, please include the
    above command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (to be included
    whenever the systems boots).  (See Your DOS manual for
    setting up an AUTOEXEC.BAT file.)

    This option may be combined with the other HCS environment
    variable options.  Thus if you desire PASSWORD checking AND
    do not wish to be prompted for the date each time HCS initiated,
    then include the following command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

             SET HCS=TU

    OVERVIEW OF PASSWORD SETUP
    --------------------------
    Each password set up may restrict the update and accessability
    of each of HCS' 4 main modules, SYSTEM FUNCTIONS, FAMILY MAINTENANCE,
    INDIVIDUAL MAINTENANCE, and GIVING MAINTENANCE.

    To enter or update a PASSWORD select the SYSTEM FUNCTIONS selection from
    the MAIN MENU then select the PASSWORD option.  The system will
    prompt for a PASSWORD.  You may either enter a new or existing
    PASSWORD.  You will then be promted for a name to be associated with
    this PASSWORD and the area for which that user may ACCESS the system.

    The following details the functions available with each of the
    settings:

    SYSTEM FUNCTIONS - RETRIEVAL:
                                  SET DATE
                       UPDATE;
                                  PASSWORD
                                  PURGE
                                  CHURCH INFO

    FAMILY           - RETRIEVAL:
                                  LIST FAMILY
                                  FAMILY REPORTS
                                  MAIL MERGE
                       UPDATE:
                                  ADD FAMILY
                                  CHANGE FAMILY
                                  DELETE FAMILY
    INDIVIDUAL       - RETRIEVAL:
                                  INDIVIDUAL REPORTS
                       UPDATE:
                                  MAINTAIN (ADD/CHANGE/DELETE) INDIVIDUALS
    GIVING           - RETRIEVAL:
                                  FAMILY GIVING
                                  GIVING REPORTS
                                  EXPORT to Spreadsheet
                       UPDATE:
                                  ENTER GIVING
                                  UPDATE ACCOUNTS
                                  UPDATE PLEDGES

   To set up your initial PASSWORD(s) simply leave the U option off
   the HCS environment variable.  When the system comes up, no
   PASSWORD will be required and you will be able to add PASSWORDs
   without restriction.

   Once you have entered your initial PASSWORD(s) simply exit out of
   HERITAGE CHURCH (HCS) and add the U option to the HCS environment
   variable (see above).

   Now you may sign back into HCS and PASSWORD enforcement will be
   activated.
