│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are
expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right
to continue using the software to an updated program with printed
manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both
cases, there are good programs and bad ones!!) The main difference is in
the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to
copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written permission
before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back
guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
HOW TO REGISTER
PROPERTY MASTER: Rental Property Database is a shareware product. You
may make copies of this computer program and pass them onto friends for
their evaluation. If you use this program, you are encouraged to pay a
registration fee of $25 to the address below.
For an additional $25.00 [ $50 Total ], you will receive a printed
manual and an upgrade to the next major version (usually within 6-12
months). Your comments and suggestions will make the next version even
better. This will also include an interim update if the 1099 form
changes.

4) You may order the standard registration for $25. You may also elect

6) Within the program, there is a suggestion/comment/criticism form.
Please use this to tell me what you like or don't like about the
program. Please also tell me what additional features you would like to
see in the program so I can make this better (Also provide example
report formats, etc. if possible). Your feedback is very important to
me. This program has been made better by implementing your comments and
suggestions. I thank everyone for their help and support.

===== Installation =====================================
Property Master: Rental Property Master 4.01
(c) Copyright 1990-1994 Michael Belofsky
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
If You Have A CD ROM Drive and is on, please make sure that you have a
CD in it. Otherwise, the install program will think that your CD ROM
drive's door is open.
Do You Have Enough Hard Disk Space? After the initial welcome screen
during the install, the program will ask you which hard disk you would
like to install to. The program will list the required minimum space to
install the program at the top of the screen. Each drive that is
available for installation will also display the remaining free space.
If you choose a disk drive with less space available than required, the
program will not go forward. Please exit the install program and free up
hard disk space.
Let The INSTALL Program Modify Your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. The
install program must make changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
files. Backup files will be made. (Of course, you must reboot your
machine before the changes take effect.)
If You Received A Printed Manual, You Do Not Need To Reprint It. If you
are reading this manual in printed form before you install the program,
you do not need to print the manual. When the program asks you to print
out the manual (also known as the README.TXT file), say BYPASS THIS
OPERATION. Although, since this is shareware, you probably had to print
it.
What Are All These AUTOEXEC and CONFIG Files With Numbers? As previously
stated, the program will make backup copies of your CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT. These copies will be named AUTOEXEC.01, AUTOEXEC.02,...
and CONFIG.01, CONFIG.02,... You may delete these files. Better yet,
save them to a floppy and then delete them, just in case.
BEFORE YOU RUN THIS PROGRAM
1) You must let the install program change your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS (or you must do so manually).
The AUTOEXEC.BAT must have the following line added (which the install
will do for you):
SET CLIPPER=F99
This should be at the top of the file or after the @ECHO OFF command.
2) The CONFIG.SYS must have the following line (which the install will
do for you):
FILES=99
The number can be higher than 99.
3) This you must check for manually. If you have a SHARE.EXE command in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file, you must add the following to the
end of the line: /f:4096.
If the line looks like this (in CONFIG.SYS):
INSTALL=C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE
change to:
INSTALL=C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /F:4096
If this command is in your CONFIG.SYS file, I recommend removing it and
moving it to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file as shown below.
(If there are other things on the line as well, just add the /f:4096
after the EXE part. Note that it can be upper or lower case.)
If the line looks like this (in AUTOEXEC.BAT):
C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE
change to:
C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /F:4096
(If there are other things on the line as well, just add the /f:4096
after the EXE part. Note that it can be upper or lower case.)
5) Before the program will work, however, you must reboot your machine.
(To reboot, either turn off the machine for a few seconds and then turn
back on or press the CTRL, ALT and DELETE keys at the same time. Please
remove any floppies you may have in your disk drives.) IF YOU HAVE DOS
6.0 OR LATER, READ THE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BELOW. If you need help,
please call me at (703) 777-5660.
BEFORE YOU RUN THIS PROGRAM IF YOU HAVE DOS 6.0 OR LATER
1) If you are not sure what version of DOS you have, type in the
following at the DOS prompt:
VER <ENTER>
Your computer will respond similar to:
MS-DOS Version 6.2
2) In your CONFIG.SYS, if you have a line that says:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
change to:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS NOVCPI
(There may be additional information on the line, just make sure to add
"NOVCPI" after "NOEMS".)
3) In your CONFIG.SYS, if you have a line that says:
STACKS=9,256
change to:
STACKS=18,256
If there is no STACKS statement, please add it.
4) If you need help, please call (703) 777-5660.
RUNNING THIS PROGRAM WITHIN WINDOWS AS A NON-WINDOWS APPLICATION
This program will run within Windows with some minor modifications to
your SYSTEM.INI.
Edit your SYSTEM.INI file.
Search for: [386Enh]
Add the following line immediately below [386Enh]:
DEVICE=C:\RENTAL\VWFD.386
(If you changed the directory when installing, use the appropriate
directory here.)
Start Windows: WIN <ENTER>
Go to the Program Group where you wish to add this program.
Choose FILE from the Menu.
Choose NEW.
Select PROGRAM ITEM.
For Description:, Enter: Property Master
For Command Line:, Enter: C:\RENTAL.BAT /NG /NF
For Working Directory:, Enter: C:\
Click on CHANGE ICON. Windows will tell you that no program items are
available. Click on OK. Then choose an icon from the given list.
Click on OK.
The new Property Master icon should be on the screen. Double click on
it. It should work, the mouse will not be an arrow, it will look like a
sideways "H" with an "o" in the middle. I needed to turn off graphics
mode within my program for the mouse to work in Windows.
If you need help or uncomfortable doing this yourself, please call for
assistance.
INSTALLATION:
1) This package is intended to be placed onto two (2) 360K 5.25"
floppies for distribution through shareware distributers. Therefore,
this version should not be on bulletin boards for the end user.
2) Place DISK 1 in the floppy and type A:INSTALL <ENTER> or
B:INSTALL <ENTER>.
3) Follow the directions on the screen.
===== License for Use and Distribution =================
Property Master: Rental Property Database 4.01
(c) Copyright 1990-1994 Michael Belofsky
LICENSE AGREEMENT
The registered version of this program is licensed to a single user. You
may use it on more than one machine provided that it is not used
simultaneously by several people. You may make copies of this program
for backup purposes only. You may transfer the program to another user.
However, all copies, either on floppy or hard disk, must be erased,
destroyed or transferred to the new user. This license shall be
effective from the date you open this package and remain in effect for a
period of fifty (50) years.
MSdataBase Solutions warrants that this program will work as set forth
in this documentation. In the event of defects in materials (the floppy
disk(s)), the floppy disk(s) will be replaced. Except for the limited
warranty set forth above, the program is provided "as is". MSdataBase
Solutions makes no other warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to
the program and specifically disclaims the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so the above
exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state
to state.
Under no circumstances shall MSdataBase Solutions be liable to you for
any damages, claims or losses whatsoever, including but not limited to
any claims for lost profits, lost savings or other special, incidental
or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the
program regardless of the circumstances.
Property Master: Rental Property Database is a "shareware program" and
is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share
the "unregistered" version with your friends, but please do not give it
away altered or as part of another system. The essence of
"user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with
quality software without high prices, and yet provide incentive for
programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this
program useful and find that you are using Property Master and continue
to use Property Master after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
registration payment of $25 (or $50 for upgrade and manual: see below).
The registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer
at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An
example is that this software may be used by any number of people and
may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as
there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's
being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different
people at the same time.
Commercial users of Property Master: Rental Property Database must
register and pay for their copies of Property Master within 30 days of
first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may
be made by contacting MSdataBase Solutions, 614 Warrenton Terrace NE,
Leesburg, VA 22075. (703) 777-5660. (703) 777-5440 FAX.
Anyone distributing Property Master: Rental Property Database for any
kind of remuneration must first contact MSdataBase Solutions at the
address above for authorization. This authorization will be
automatically granted to distributors recognized by the ASP as adhering
to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may
begin offering Property Master: Rental Property Database immediately. If
MSdataBase Solutions sent a distributor a copy of Property Master, then
such company may also begin offering Property Master: Rental Property
Database immediately. Please refer to the VENDOR.TXT file.
