This software was designed to be user friendly and provide
easy access to vast amounts of data. The windows and user options
usually provide a clear indication of the next step. Most options
are clearly listed at the top or near the bottom of the windows.
Because of the easy to use options little training is needed. In
fact most people can access the data and the information needed in
just a few minutes. These options were provided so even a
non-computer literate person could use the system.
This manual will provide clear step-by-step instructions for
each of the different menu options. The best way to use this manual
is to follow the instructions, step-by-step, as you run the
program. No damage is done to the software or data by incorrectly

selection each time it is pressed.
This software is undergoing continual enhancement to provide
additional features and usability. During your time on the system
any comments or suggestions would be appreciated, please
