- JOB ESTIMATER
- *************
-
-
- 1. The Job Estimater is a handy tool that anyone can use
- who has the need to perform job estimating. Its has an
- unlimited application to home and business alike. It can be
- used to make constuction bids and catering estimates to home owners
- using it to determine what it may cost to do remodeling or landscaping.
- Try it and you'll see how useful a program it can be.
-
- 2. If you find this job estimater useful, I would
- appreciate a donation of $10.00. I have developed several other
- applications such as these and would send you a listing upon
- receipt of your donation. Just fill out the blank at the end of
- this document and you will be registered for future notification
- of new applications.
-
- 3. I would like to just mention some features of this program.
-
- - this is a stand alone application
-
- - you may print your estimate to a text file and import
- it into your word processor so that you can prepare a letter
- and not have to reinput the estimate and fuss with
- the calculations
-
- - you have the capability to print out an estimate on
- the printer
-
- - it has an on-line help screen to give you some information
- about the use of the keys
-
- - you can change the tax file to reflect the current
- tax rate for your area
-
- -- take it with you anywhere, change the tax rate and
- you are ready to estimate
- -- if by mistake the file is damaged or you copy it
- to another disk the program will recreate another one
- -- the default when you use the estimater the first time
- is 4.5%. Change it in the program and the next time
- you want to use it, it will reflect the new tax rate
-
-
- - you may change the labor and material information as
- much as you like until the numbers indicate 'exactly'
- what you want
-
- -- the nice feature about this is you can 'gameplan'
- and worse case your estimate giving you the ability to
- create a strategy and determine the most cost effective
- method

-
- - the following is what output you can expect from
- the job estimater - I imported this from a text file
- without any key strokes - this is also how the
- printed output will appear
-
- -- if you want to rearrange the text file after you
- have imported into your word processing document you
- may do so

-
- 4. The install program will create a subdirectory off your root
- directory called c:\estimate. If you do not want to have this as your
- directory then copy the files where you like. The install
- program will, after creating the estimate directory, copy the
- estimate execution file to your hard drive. It will work on a
- floppy just as it would on a hard drive only it will obviously
- be slower.
-
- 5. Printout.bat is a file that will automatically print out
- this file for you on your printer.
-
- 6. The info.doc is the one you are now reading.
-
- 7. If you have any questions call or write.
-
- 8. Thanks again for trying the "JOB ESTIMATER"
