PC AGENT is one of those rare, focused programs that performs with speed
and elegance.  This no-nonsense program helps sell real estate by
serving as a prospect card filing system for realtors.

Everything important about the prospects and their desires is in the
file.  Single family residence, townhouse or condo?  What price range?
Location?  Do they want a garage?  When a home pops up on the market, it
quickly calls up everyone on the list who wants a property like that and
has the money, or credit line, to afford it.

Sixteen fields for data cover: name, address, phone numbers, price
range, income, cash down, number of bedrooms, style, garage, land, area
desired, and comments.  A user guide is available, but the screen
prompts are so self-explanatory you'll be in business in minutes.

SPECIFICATIONS

PC-AGENT will run in any IBM or True IBM Compatible with at least 
256K of memory, one floppy disk drive and DOS 2.11 or higher.

You will need a printer to use PC-AGENT to it fullest capability.

While PC-AGENT will run on a Monochrome system, it is a Color 
program that gives you the opportunity to customize it for your own 
use in your office.

PC-AGENT has been designed with a user friendly interface.  That 
means all the functions are designed to be accessed without the use
of an instruction manual.  If you take a few minutes to read the 
rest of this short document, you will be on your way.  PC-AGENT 
will prompt you with on-screen instructions as you go along.

PC-AGENT uses the Function keys on your Computer to move from one 
function to another.  If you're unfamiliar with your keyboard, the
Function keys are the ones labeled "F1", "F2" and so on.  If you 
have problems finding them, we suggest you check the instruction 
manual that came with your computer.

FILES

The PC-AGENT distribution diskette comes with several files you 
will need to run the program:

	PCAGENT.EXE	This is the main program

	INDEX.KEY	This is an index file where PC-AGENT 
			keeps track of your Database.

	DEMO.REC	A sample Database included so you can 
			experiment with the features of PC-AGENT
			without typing in a lot of information.

	TEMP.$$$	Temporary work file.

	HELP.BAT	This prints abbreviated information onto the
			screen about PC-AGENT licensing.

	PCHELP.BAT	This prints out the abbreviated manual you 
			are reading now.

	PCAGENT.HLP	This is the text printed out by HELP.BAT

	PCAGENT.DOC	This is the text printed out by PCHELP.BAT

	ORDER.FRM	This is an order form for registering your 
			copy of PC-AGENT

	PRINT.BAT	Prints out PC-AGENT order form

	RUN.BAT		Starts up PC-AGENT

BACKING UP YOUR DATA

You should back up your data files on a regular basis to prevent the
loss of your valuable information.  If you are unfamiliar with using
DOS, the following procedure will do.

Put your Data Disk in Drive A.

Put a formatted Backup Disk in Drive B.

Type in the command:     COPY A:*.REC B:

Then type in the command:	COPY A:INDEX.KEY B:

If you have only one floppy disk, you will have to keep swapping the
backup diskette and data diskette.

If you have installed PC-AGENT onto a hard drive, you will type:

		COPY C:*.REC A:
		COPY C:INDEX.KEY A:

You must copy INDEX.KEY along with your files or you will not be able
to access them from the backup diskette.  The smartest thing to do is
to backup your data every time you use PC-AGENT.

NOTES FOR PROGRAMMERS

1) FILES

PC-AGENT stores your data as SEQUENTIAL files.  That means you will
be able to edit your data files with most word processors or with
programs you write yourself.  WARNING:  Don't expect PC-AGENT to be
able to read files you edit with another program.  If you move one 
comma or line feed, PC-AGENT will read your data incorrectly.  We 
suggest backing up your data files before you tinker with them using
other programs.

If you would like to write your own programs to use PC-AGENT data 
files, you should notice the marker "ZZZ" at the end of your data 
file.  This is only a marker that PC-AGENT uses when it closes
your files.

If you ever lose your INDEX.KEY file, you can create a new one with
any editor.  Just open a file and list all the files with a ".REC"
extension.  The reason we use INDEX.KEY is to make PC-AGENT as 
user friendly and transparent as possible.

UPGRADES

As new versions of PC-AGENT become available, registered users will
be notified by mail.  You will be given the opportunity to upgrade to
the new version during the remainder of the one year time period of 
your support agreement for only $5.00.  That $5.00 covers the cost of 
processing your order.

WHY REGISTER YOUR COPY OF PC-AGENT

There are several reasons why you should register your copy
of PC-AGENT.

First, by paying the Author for his time and efforts, you
encourage programmers to write more programs.  This benefits
everyone.  The programmer because he is compensated for his
efforts.  And the consumer because it makes high quality, low
cost software available.  In case you hadn't noticed, there
are not a lot of computer programs written specifically for
Real Estate and Insurance salesmen.  And those that are are
usually very expensive and difficult to learn.

Second, this program is offered on a try-first, buy later
agreement.  If you are using it, you should pay for it.

Third, if you ever have problems using PC-AGENT, your support
agreement gives you a means of getting your questions answered.
Unless you are a computer expert, you will have difficulties
finding an expert on PC-AGENT.
