===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
POST INSTALLATION INFORMATION
-----------------------------
Once the basic program installation is complete, the Professional Carrier
program will automatically load and configure itself. This can be a
lengthy process but only the very first time the program is loaded.
Following that, the program will load much faster.
To start the program in the future, you should switch to the subdirectory
where you installed the program (i.e. \PROCARR), type PROCARR, and then
press [ENTER]. If the program is the shareware/evaluation version, a
shareware and registration reminder screen will appear. After reading
this screen carefully, press any key to proceed. A title and copyright
screen will be displayed, along with the program Main Menu.
Please refer to the files WHATSNEW.xxx files (where "xxx" represents the
product release version number) for information regarding new program
changes, features, and enhancements.
QUICK START
-----------
In order to make FULL use of this program, you will need to read the
manual, which is supplied as the file MANUAL.TXT. However, to get started
quickly just to see what the program looks like, simply switch to the
subdirectory where you have installed the program files (i.e. CD
PROCARR), type PROCARR and press [ENTER]. The program contains
context-sensitive Help which you can call by pressing the [F1] key.
COLOR/MONOCHROME MONITORS
-------------------------
This program will check to see if you have a color video card installed
in your computer. If it finds one, it will automatically set the screen
display to the color settings. If it finds a monochrome video card, it
will automatically set the screen display to the monochrome settings. If
you are using a color card with a monochrome monitor, the program may not
display properly. However, you can go back to the DOS prompt and restart
the program using the command PROCARR M to restart the program in
forced monochrome mode.
USER'S MANUAL & ORDER FORM
--------------------------
To View or Print the order form, move to the far right, select the
UTILITIES menu and press [ENTER]. Then using the Down Arrow key, select
the "Order Form" option and press [ENTER]. You will be able to view the
order form before you print it. Alternately, you can print it from
outside the program, from the DOS command line. Just change to the
directory in which the ORDER.TXT file resides. Then enter the following
command:
COPY ORDER.TXT PRN
The User's Manual is included in a file called MANUAL.TXT. It can also
be printed either from the menu option, or from the DOS command line. To
print it from DOS, change to the directory in which the MANUAL.TXT file
resides. Then enter the following command to print the manual:
COPY MANUAL.TXT PRN
To View or Print the manual from within the program, move to the far
right, select the UTILITIES menu and press [ENTER]. Then using the Down
Arrow key, select the "User's Manual" option and press [ENTER]. You will
be able to view the manual on screen before you print it.
PROFESSIONAL CARRIER IS SHAREWARE!
-----------------------------------
The cost of the fully-licensed version of Professional Carrier is $59.00
(US). You are entitled to evaluate Professional Carrier for a period of
up to 30 days. If after that time you intend to continue to use the
program you are legally required to purchase a fully licensed copy. If
you do not intend to continue using the program, you must delete it from
your system.
The shareware/evaluation version of Professional Carrier that you have is
not restricted in any way during the 30-day evaluation period. Upon
purchase of the fully licensed version of the product, you will receive:
1) A disk containing the most current version of the program.
2) A lifetime license to use the product.
3) A printed, bound reference manual.
4) Your registered copy of the program will display your name on
the main program screen.
5) Support via telephone, BBS, mail, email via CompuServe, and
email via various other message networks.
6) A 30 day money-back guarantee.
7) Notification of, and discounts on all major program upgrades.
8) Removal of all time limitations (see LIMITATIONS section in the
manual for details).
And apart from all that, the knowledge that you are helping to support
the Shareware concept - a distribution system that brings you quality
software at realistic prices.
SO WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
---------------------
Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors and
publishers through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and
by copies being passed among friends. It is software that you are allowed
to try before you pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate in money
back guarantees.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. There is good
and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software. The
primary difference between shareware and retail software is that with
shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
You benefit because you get to actually use the software, on your own
computer system, in order to determine whether it meets your needs -
before you pay for it. Authors benefit because they are able to get
their products into your hands without the enormous expense it takes to
launch a traditional retail software product.
The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
products depend on your willingness to purchase licensed copiesof the
shareware products that you use. The purchase of fully licensed products
is what allows shareware authors to support and continue to develop and
improve their products.
Please show your support for shareware by purchasing licensed copies of
those programs you actually use. Shareware is kept alive by your support!

===== Installation =====================================
INSTALLATION
------------
The installation utility provided (INSTALL.EXE) will install Professional
Carrier on your hard disk drive, and will also check to see that your
system meets all of the program requirements. Simply insert the
registered version disk (Disk #1 if there are 2 disks) into your floppy
disk drive, type A:INSTALL (or B:INSTALL), and press the [ENTER] key.
IF: you have been using a previous version of *THIS* product, you should
install this version into the *same* subdirectory that you installed
the previous version. This will allow this newer version to properly
update your existing files while still maintaining any existing data
that you have already entered.
IF: you have been using our Paper Route Ledger program, and are upgrading
to this program, you *SHOULD NOT* install this program into the same
sub- directory as your existing PRL files. You should install this
program into its own, separate subdirectory. See the "Upgrading
Instructions" contained in the manual, or supplied separately.
Since we may have changed the "default" installation directory during our
update process, be sure to check this carefully when the installation
program asks you for the subdirectory to install to.
**** IMPORTANT ***
The following system parameters should already be properly set from your
evaluation of the shareware version of Professional Carrier. However,
just as a reminder......
You will need to check the FILES and BUFFERS settings in your CONFIG.SYS
file (the install program will check this, and give you the opportunity
to modify it you want to). If you don't already have at least 40 FILES
and 40 BUFFERS, please change these lines accordingly (or let the
installation program do it for you):
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
Also, your AUTOEXEC.BAT file must contain the following line:
SET CLIPPER=F45
(the "F" value in the above SET command should always be "5" more than
the FILES= setting. For example, if you have FILES=60, then the SET
statement should be SET CLIPPER=F65)
If you don't allow the install program to make any necessary
modifications, then you will need to make the changes manually.
Either way, if there are any changes made, you will need to reboot your
system in order for these changes to take effect.
