===== Product Information ==============================
This section was omitted by the product author.
===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Once the basic program installation is complete, the OST 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. \OST), type OST, and then press
[ENTER]. If the program has not been registered, 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 (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
OST), type OST 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 OST M to restart the program in forced
monochrome mode.
USER'S MANUAL & REGISTRATION FORM
---------------------------------
To View or Print the registration form, move to the far right, select the
UTILITIES menu and press [ENTER]. Then using the Down Arrow key, select
the "Registration Form" option and press [ENTER]. You will be able to
view the registration form before you print it.
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 the DOS command line, change to the directory in which
MANUAL.TXT 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.
OFFICE SUPPLIES TRACKER IS SHAREWARE!
-------------------------------------
The registration fee for Office Supplies Tracker is $39.00 (US). You are
entitled to evaluate Office Supplies Tracker for a period of up to 30
days. If after that time you intend to continue to use the program you
must register it. If you do not intend to continue to use the program you
must delete it from your system.
The shareware copy of Office Supplies Tracker that you have is not
restricted in any way. Upon registering 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) Your registered copy of the program will display your name on
the main program screen.
4) Support via telephone, BBS, mail, email via CompuServe, and
email via various other message networks.
5) A 30 day money-back guarantee.
6) Notification of, and discounts on all major program upgrades.
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 use the software 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 expenses 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 register and pay for the shareware
you use. It is the registration fees you pay which allow shareware
authors to support and continue to develop their products.
Please show your support for shareware by registering those programs you
actually use and by passing them on to others. Shareware is kept alive by
your support!

===== Installation =====================================
Office Supplies Tracker (OST) is provided with an installation utility,
which will not only install the program for you, but will also test your
system for the necessary hard drive space, minimum DOS version, and
necessary settings in your CONFIG.SYS file.
The program will install the OST program to your hard disk drive, and
will provide you with a default subdirectory name (\OST). We recommend
that you use this default directory name, but you are free to change it.
The install program will also check your CONFIG.SYS file for necessary
parameters, and will update those settings for you if necessary (if you
don't want the program to make these changes for you, just select "N" and
you can modify them manually).
If any changes are made to your CONFIG.SYS and/or AUTOEXEC.BAT files,
your system must be rebooted in order for the changes to take effect.
When the installation is complete, the OST program will automatically
load and configure itself.
