Neal Abrams will not be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, indirect or similar damages due to loss of data or any other reason, even if Neal Abrams or an agent of Neal Abrams has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall Neal Abrams' liability for any damages ever exceed the price paid for the license to use software, regardless of the form of the claim. The person using the software bears all risk as to the quality and performance of the software. LICENSE ------- CadTrack is a Shareware product. As such, it is made available to the general personal computing public for evaluation. Users are licensed to operate this program on their computers for the purpose of test and evaluation on a trial basis for a limited trial period. It is not possible to reasonably define the limits of a fair and equitable time period for evaluation; therefore it is left to the user's judgment and sense of fair play as to the time required to make a decision as to its usefulness. (As a guideline, 30 days should generally be sufficient time to evaluate the utility of a program of this type.) If the user decides the program is not of sufficient merit to warrant purchase through registration with the author, he/she should remove the program from his/her personal computer. Otherwise, if the program is deemed useful and is in regular use on the user's computer system, registration with the author is required. Registered users are those users who elect to pay for CadTrack and register that payment with the author. By virtue of registration and payment for the program, registered users are granted a license to continue to utilize the program on their personal computer for as long as they choose. This license authorizes the user to use the program on any personal computer system he or she may own or use so long as the program is operated on only one computer system at a time. GUARANTEE --------- CadTrack is offered with an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee. If you become dissatisfied with the program for any reason within that period, just let me know and your registration fee will be refunded. If you purchased a registration package which included a diskette and/or a manual, please return these when requesting a refund. This guarantee is unconditional. I would ask, however, if you are having a problem to let me know before giving up on CadTrack since your problem may be something I can solve. CadTrack 1.80 Page 4 Finally, if you order a registration package which includes a diskette that is defective -- either through my error or through postal service "processing",let me know and I will send replacements promptly. REGISTRATION ------------ The registration fee is $50, payable to: Neal Abrams 161 Bentley Street Staten Island, NY 10307 The payment of this registration fee to the author entitles the user to full use of the product for an unlimited period of time in addition to product support and a diskette containing the registered version of CadTrack. CadTrack is a Shareware product. Shareware is a computer program distribution and marketing method that permits potential buyers to thoroughly try the program prior to purchase. It is NOT free and it is not in the Public Domain. If, after evaluating the program, you find it useful enough to use on a regular basis, you are expected to pay for it by registering with the author. Though CadTrack is Shareware, you will not find one reminder screen or delay. However the unregistered version of CadTrack will only keep track the total time per job without any breakdown by month, day, user and drawing as is available in the registered version of CadTrack. Please note that the registration fee is specifically limited to CadTrack (CADTRACK.COM and CADTRK18.EXE) program and its associated documentation. SITE LICENSING -------------- Attractively-priced site licensing is available for network users. Pricing for "typical" site licensing is given in an appendix to this manual. If you have needs which are not met by the standard license terms, please call or write for a quote which addresses any unique support or product update requirements. Customization is also available on a contract basis. UPGRADE AND UPDATE POLICIES --------------------------- First, some definitions: I define upgrade as the RIGHT to use a later revision of a piece of software. I define update as the physical media on which the upgrade resides. I'll further define an update as not including hard-copy documentation unless specifically defined. My current upgrade/update policies are as follows: CadTrack 1.80 Page 5 There are no upgrade charges associated with CadTrack and I do not have any plans at present to institute such charges with future revisions. I do reserve the right to do so, however, if in my opinion the nature and magnitude of CadTrack changes to such a degree as to constitute a substantially new product. I do plan to charge for updates. The content and pricing for specific update packages is described at the end of this document and in the REGISTER.DOC file. Pricing is subject to change without notice, however, to accommodate postage, printing, and other price increases. DISTRIBUTING CADTRACK --------------------- CadTrack may be freely distributed subject only to the following distribution for-charge restrictions: CadTrack is the sole property of Neal Abrams. The program may be freely copied and transferred to individual parties for evaluation purposes. It may be posted on Bulletin Board systems (BBS) for electronic access as long as NO FEE is charged for its distribution except for private BBS operations that charge a regular user subscription fee. Please feel free to distribute copies of this program to friends, co-workers, bulletin boards, and users' groups. I do ask, however, that you please distribute all of the original files and not modified copies. TECHNICAL SUPPORT ----------------- Registered Users: Full technical support is available to registered users of CadTrack. I will provide support through the mails, or, if the problem absolutely cannot wait, the telephone (no collect calls please). I will do my best to resolve any software bugs in a timely manner and I am always open to incorporating new features or changes which are appropriate to the nature of the product. Unregistered Users: I will attempt to respond to software trouble reports made by non-registered users if the problems concern the general functionality of the program. Such users should not, however, expect product support beyond initial aid to determine if the program is suitable for their needs. If you have a problem: I ask that, before calling or writing, you take the following steps: 1) Check the manual. 2) See if you can duplicate the problem. 3) If you're still stuck, please make a note of your hardware and software environment and the sequence of actions which lead to the error. If I can't reproduce an error, it will be very difficult to correct, so your help is vital in isolating the problem. CadTrack 1.80 Page 6 If you follow these steps, it will help me to solve your problem in a more efficient and timely manner. I may be contacted via: Executive Network BBS (914) 667-4567 U.S. Mail 161 Bentley Street Staten Island, NY 10307 Telephone (718) 984-5295 (after 8pm Eastern time) I usually check the Executive Network BBS daily. You can leave a message for me on the Main Board (assuming you have proper access) or you can leave a message for me via any BBS which carries the ILink(sm) CADD conference. AutoCAD is registered trademarks of Autodesk, Inc. IBM PC/XT/AT are registered trademarks of International Business Machines Corporation Microsoft, MS-DOS and QuickBASIC are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation CadTrack 1.80 Page 7 1.0 What is CadTrack CadTrack is an AutoCAD front end which keeps track of CADD projects and the time spent working on them within the AutoCAD drawing environment. Projects and users are kept within simple data files which may be edited or updated as needed from within CadTrack. Users can optionally log in to each cadd session by entering their name and personal password. (Users names and passwords are kept encrypted within the user data (.UID) file). They may only be accessed by entering a special password when logging into CadTrack (See "Accessing the Edit CadTrack.uid Menu). The time of each CADD session is tracked and the time automatically written to a log file. In registered versions of CadTrack, time can be tracked by month, day, user and even by drawing (see "Configuring CadTrack" for details). This log file could then be used for billing, time sheets, etc. 2.0 System Requirements This program *should* run on any IBM compatible PC with a math coprocessor. CadTrack has been tested on several different PC's running MS-DOS Version 5.00 and 6.00, and AutoCAD release 10 through release 12 for DOS. It will *NOT* work for Release 12 for Windows. Memory While running, CadTrack requires approximately 100KB of DOS memory. Note that one of the important features of CadTrack is that it doesn't take away *any* precious DOS memory from AutoCAD. CadTrack does NOT create a DOS command shell to run AutoCAD. AutoCAD CadTrack makes no attempt to insure that AutoCAD has been installed properly. Make certain that AutoCAD knows where to find what it needs. This is accomplished by setting the appropriate AutoCAD environment variables (Refer to AutoCAD Installation Manual). 3.0 Installation To install CadTrack run INSTALL.EXE. INSTALL will ask you where the CadTrack support files are located. In the registered version of CadTrack, INSTALL will prompt to for a destination directory. Otherwise it will attempt to install CadTrack to "C:\CADTRACK". When all the files have been installed, pressing a key will bring you to the CadTrack configuration menu. CadTrack 1.80 Page 8 3.1 Using LOGOUT.BAT. This batch file allows users to log whatever time has elapsed since they began a CADD session and temporarily suspend time logging. It will then run your favorite screen saver (assuming you have memory to run it). CadTrack will then resume time logging when they exit the screen saver (usually by pressing any key other than ENTER or SPACE). This batch file must be edited with your favorite text editor. Instructions are included within the LOGOUT.BAT file. In order for AutoCAD to execute this batch file from within a drawing, it must be located in a sub-directory which is included as part of the path statement. Also, the statement "LOGOUT,LOGOUT,200000,,4" must be added to the ACAD.PGP file. Refer to the AutoCAD Installation Manual for further information on editing the ACAD.PGP file. 3.2 Moving CADTRACK.UID The CADTRACK.UID file will automatically be installed with the other CadTrack support files. However, for increased security, this file may be moved to another directory. If this is done you must tell CadTrack the new location my modifying the userid= configuration setting (See "Configuring CadTrack" ). 4.0 Configuring CadTrack As of this release, configuring CadTrack is accomplished through the INSTALL utility. To install CadTrack for the first time, select item 1 at INSTALL's main menu. INSTALL will then allow you to configure the installation. You can modify any existing CadTrack installation by selecting item 2 from INSTALL's main menu. With the exception of the "log type" setting, CadTrack will accept the following settings within the CADTRACK.CFG file. SETTING PURPOSE ------- ------- security=on|off OPTIONAL - Toggling this setting to "on" will cause CadTrack to ask for a user name and password at the beginning of each CADD session. acadexe=drive:\pathspec Tells Cadtrack location of ACAD.EXE job=drive:\pathspec Desired location of CADTRACK.JOB userid=drive:\pathspec Tells CadTrack location of CADTRACK.UID when "security" is set to "on". log=drive:\pathspec Desired location of log file CadTrack 1.80 Page 9 temp=drive:\pathspec OPTIONAL - Tells CadTrack where to place its temporary files. This option will only work in REGISTERED versions of CadTrack. mintime=## OPTIONAL - Tells CadTrack the minimum amount of time to track. It can be set to a maximum of 59 minutes. Setting this variable for more than 59 minutes will be the same as setting it for 59 minutes. sort=sortype OPTIONAL - default file sort setting. Settings allowed are: sort=none (No file sorting by default) sort=name (Sort files by name) sort=date (Sort files by date) sort=size (Sort files by size) shroom=[d:\path]shroom [-q] OPTIONAL - Tells CadTrack to run SHROOM.COM before running AutoCAD. The "d:\path" may be omitted if SHROOM.COM is located within a directory that is part of your PATH. If the "-q" option is immediate, CadTrack will automatically add it. Unless noted as OPTIONAL, the above settings are REQUIRED and CadTrack CadTrack will abort with the appropriate error message. 5.0 Running CadTrack To start Cadtrack, the file CADTRACK.BAT (registered version) or CADTRACK.COM (unregistered version) *must* be executed first. This can be accomplished by either including the CadTrack sub- directory in the DOS path statement within AUTOEXEC.BAT and then typing "CADTRACK", or it may be called directly from a batch file. 5.1 Program Limitations - Maximum of 400 User/Password entries. - Maximum of 400 Job entries. - Maximum of between 500 and 1000 files in a directory - Operating system revision of at least DOS 3.3 CadTrack 1.80 Page 10 5.2 Log-in Procedure: If CadTrack is configured with "security=on", CadTrack will ask the user to log in. First Cadtrack prompts the user for his/her name. If the name is found within the CADTRACK.UID file, CadTrack then prompts the user for their personal password. CadTrack only allows a total of three attempts to log in, at which time the program will terminate. If the log-in is successful CadTrack will proceed to the Job Selection menu. 5.3 Job Selection At the Job Selection menu CadTrack reads in all the jobs found in the file CADTRACK.JOB and displays them on the screen. If this file doesn't exist or has no jobs in it, CadTrack will prompt you to add a job. If CadTrack finds any jobs within the file, it will display them and you will have the following options: Key What it does. Details --- ------------ ------- UP ARROW | DN ARROW | PG UP |------ Use these keys to highlight a job record for PG DN | editing, deleting or file selection. HOME | END | ESC Abort Pressing this key will terminate current operation and will cause CadTrack to terminate returning the user to the DOS command prompt. A Add Job Pressing this key will cause CadTrack to prompt user for job information. Pressing <ESC> at any prompt will terminate this operation. When all the prompts are correctly responded to, CadTrack will add the job to the CADTRACK.JOB file and will display on these prompts see "Adding/Editing a Job"). E Edit Job Pressing this key will cause CadTrack to prompt user to re-enter job information for the job record selected by the highlight bar. Pressing <ESC> at any prompt will terminate this operation. When all the prompts have been correctly responded to, CadTrack will update the job within the CADTRACK.JOB file and will re-display it on the screen with the new information (For additional information on these prompts, see "Adding/Editing a new Job"). CadTrack 1.80 Page 11 Key What it does. Details --- ------------ ------- D Delete Job Pressing this key will cause CadTrack to prompt user whether they are sure they want to delete the job record selected by the highlight bar. Pressing <Y> will cause CadTrack to delete the job record from within CADTRACK.JOB and update the Select Job menu. Pressing <N> will abort the operation (Note that pressing <ESC> will NOT abort this prompt). ENTER Select Job Pressing this key will cause CadTrack to select the highlighted job record. CadTrack will then check to see if the sub-directory configured for this job record actually exists. If it doesn't CadTrack will ask the user whether they want to create it. At this prompt, pressing <Y> will cause CadTrack to attempt create the directory. If CadTrack cannot create the sub-directory it will tell you so. This could occur if the CADTRACK.JOB file you are using was created on a different machine which was configured with substituted drives which don't exist on the current machine. Pressing <N> will abort the operation (Note that pressing <ESC> will NOT abort this prompt). If CadTrack was able to find the sub-directory CadTrack will then proceed to the File Selection menu for the selected job record. 5.4 Adding/Editing a job Pressing <A> or <E> while within the Job Selection menu will cause CadTrack to prompt the user for the following information: Prompt Description ------ ----------- Enter Job description: Enter a short description of job. Enter job number: Enter the job number for the job. Enter sub number: Enter sub number for the job Enter job path: This prompt accepts any valid DOS sub- directory in the form of drive:\pathspec. If CadTrack cannot locate the entered sub- directory it will attempt to create it as entered. If it is not a valid DOS sub- directory name CadTrack will prompt you for again for a valid one. CadTrack 1.80 Page 12 5.5 File Selection At the File Selection menu CadTrack reads in all the files (including directories) found within the directory for the selected job record. CadTrack then displays them on the screen after which you will have the following options: Key What it does. Details --- ------------ ------- UP ARROW | DN ARROW | PG UP |------ Use these keys to highlight a file for PG DN | selection or a directory to change to. HOME | END | F2 Disable Pressing this key list all files unsorted. File sorting F3 Sort Files Pressing this key list all files sorted by by name name. F4 Sort Files Pressing this key list all files sorted by by date date. F5 Sort Files Pressing this key list all files sorted by by size size. ESC Abort Pressing this key will cause CadTrack to return to the Job Selection menu. SPACEBAR Load AutoCAD Pressing this key will immediately cause with new CadTrack to prompt for a new filename, log drawing the start time for the Job selected at the Job Selection menu and run AutoCAD. Full path specifications are allowed for both the new drawing and any prototype you may wish to specify. CadTrack will give an error message if the prototype doesn't exist or for any invalid file or subdirectory specification. This prompt may be bypassed by simply pressing ENTER without a file name. ENTER Select DWG Pressing this key while a file that has a .DWG extension is highlighted will cause CadTrack to terminate and bring the user to the AutoCAD drawing screen, with the selected drawing loaded. Before CadTrack terminates, it will log the starting time for the job selected at the Job Selection menu (For information regarding time logging see "Cadd Tracking"). CadTrack 1.80 Page 13 Key What it does. Details --- ------------ ------- ENTER Select SCR Pressing this key while a file that has a .SCR extension is highlighted, will cause CadTrack to terminate and immediately execute the selected AutoCAD script file. Before CadTrack terminates, it will log the starting time for the job selected at the Job Selection menu (For information regarding time logging see "Cadd Tracking"). ENTER Select DIR Pressing this key while a directory <DIR> is highlighted, will cause CadTrack change to the selected directory. CadTrack will then read in the files (including directories) within the selected directory and display them on the screen for selection. 6.0 Accessing the Edit CadTrack.uid Menu. In order for users to log-in to cadd sessions when CadTrack is configured with "security=on", they must first be added to the user data base file CADTRACK.UID. This is accomplished by logging into CadTrack as follows: At the "Enter user name:" prompt of the CadTrack Log-in procedure enter the name "config". At the "Enter password:" prompt enter "security" (note that case is not important). CadTrack will then proceed to the Edit CadTrack.uid menu. CadTrack will read in all the users found in the CADTRACK.UID file and display them on the screen. Passwords will be shown encrypted. You will then have the following options: Key What it does. Details --- ------------ ------- UP ARROW | DN ARROW | PG UP |------ Use these keys to highlight a user record for PG DN | editing or deleting.

Enter password: Enter password of new user. Pressing <E> while within the Edit CadTrack.uid menu will cause CadTrack to prompt the user for the following information: Prompt Description ------ ----------- Enter old password: Enter previous password of user. Enter new password: Enter new password of user. CadTrack 1.80 Page 15 7.0 Log File Options At the end of the cadd session, CadTrack will look for the log file for the project selected. A new log will be created if one doesn't already exist. CadTrack creates this log file within the directory specified by the job=drive:\pathspec setting within the CADTRACK.CFG file (See configuring CadTrack). The name of the log file depends upon the primary job number for the selected project and the log type option selected at INSTALL's Configuring CadTrack menu. The following sections describe each of the four different log file output options. 7.1 Logging time by Job number. This is the only log type option available to unregistered users of CadTrack. If this log type option is selected CadTrack will create a log file based on the job number of the selected project. For example, if the job number for the project was 1234. the log file name would be 1234.LOG. Log file output produced is limited to the total time per job/sub-number. The following is sample output of the 1234.LOG file using this option: ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Job Description Job# Sub# Time ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Sample job #1 1234 . 00012:17:39 Revisions to sample job 1234 .01 00002:13:43 7.2 Logging time by Job number/user. This log type option is only available to registered users of CadTrack. If this log type option is selected, CadTrack will create a log file based on the month, year and job number of the selected project. For example, if the job number for the project was 1234, the log file name would be 1234SEP.93 for any time logged during the month of September 1993. Log file output produced is total time per job/sub- number for each user. The following is sample output of the 1234SEP.93 file using this option: ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Job Description Job# Sub# Time User Name ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Sample job #1 1234 . 00012:17:39 Nabrams Revisions to sample job 1234 .01 00002:14:43 Nabrams Revisions to sample job 1234 .01 00001:44:09 Jdoe CadTrack 1.80 Page 16 7.3 Logging time by Job number/user/day. This log type option is only available to registered users of CadTrack. If this log type option is selected, CadTrack will create a log file based on the month, year and job number of the selected project. For example, if the job number for the project was 1234, the log file name would be 1234SEP.93 for any time logged during the month of September 1993. Log file output produced is total time per job/sub- number by date for each user. The following is sample output of the 1234SEP.93 file using this option: ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Job Description Date Job# Sub# Time User Name ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Sample job #1 09/17/93 1234 . 00002:23:28 Nabrams Sample job #1 09/17/93 1234 . 00000:23:47 Jdoe Sample job #1 09/18/93 1234 . 00006:03:38 Nabrams Sample job #1 09/18/93 1234 . 00004:11:17 Jdoe Revisions to sample job 09/19/93 1234 .01 00000:20:45 Nabrams Sample job #1 09/19/93 1234 . 00002:43:11 Nabrams Revisions to sample job 09/19/93 1234 .01 00001:40:29 Jdoe Revisions to sample job 09/20/93 1234 .01 00000:32:33 Nabrams Revisions to sample job 09/20/93 1234 .01 00001:04:51 Jdoe 7.4 Logging time by Job number/user/day/drawing. This log type option is only available to registered users of CadTrack. If this log type option is selected, CadTrack will create a log file based on the month, year and job number of the selected project. For example, if the job number for the project was 1234, the log file name would be 1234SEP.93 for any time logged during the month of September 1993. Log file output produced is total time per job/sub- number by date and user for each drawing selected at CadTrack's File Selection menu. Please note that in order for the user to accurately log time per drawing, it is required that they exit AutoCAD and start a new session for each drawing. The following is sample output of the 1234SEP.93 file using this option: ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Date File name Job# Sub# Time User Name ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 09/17/93 ACAD.DWG 1234 . 00000:23:35 Nabrams 09/17/93 ROM_____.DWG 1234 .01 00000:05:45 Jdoe 09/18/93 PLT12.SCR 1234 . 00000:15:29 Jdoe 09/18/93 EL-T-14.DWG 1234 .01 00003:15:29 Nabrams 09/19/93 EL-T-15.DWG 1234 . 00002:45:29 Jdoe 09/19/93 PLT12.SCR 1234 .01 00000:20:24 Nabrams 09/20/93 PLT12.SCR 1234 . 00000:14:02 Nabrams CadTrack 1.80 Page 17 8.0 Technical CadTrack was written using Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5 in conjunction with the PBClone library (Version 2.2) written and copyrighted by Thomas G. Hanlin III. 9.0 Acknowledgements For CadTrack 1.80, special thanks go to Thomas G. Hanlin III who's PBCLone library made this project possible. Using the routines from his library allowed me to accomplish things which are beyond my programming capabilities at this time. I would also like to thank my wife and son for putting up with me while I payed a bit less attention to them while writing the code and documentation for CadTrack. Finally, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If it were not for Him, I would not even be alive today. 10.0 Revision history Version Release Date Description of revision(s) ------- ------------ -------------------------- 1.00 03-01-92 First release 1.20 04-06-92 Added file sorting capabilities. 1.30 04-12-92 Added fix for handling a completely empty subdirectory. 1.31 04-16-92 Fixed bug which occurred when user deleted.

CadTrack now offers four different ways to track your CAD jobs (for details (see "Configuring CadTrack"). Login screen is now optional by using security=[on][off] within CADTRACK.CFG. Temp files directory is now optional by using "temp=d:\path" setting within CADTRACK.CFG (registered users only). Pressing the Spacebar at the File Selection Menu will now prompt user for the name of a new file with optional prototype. When editing a job at the Job Selection menu default entries will appear so that the user doesn't have to retype them. SHROOM capability added by placing the appropriate "shroom=[d:\path\]shroom [options]" setting within CADTRACK.CFG. 11.0 Appendix A: Site Licenses Site Licenses are available for CadTrack. The rates below are for a "basic" site license. This includes registration for the specified number of copies and support through a single specified individual. I will, however, be happy to address specific requirements such as update subscriptions and support through multiple persons. $50 1 registration with media, copy of manual and update $22 2-5 registrations $16 6-9 $14 10-19 $12 20-29 $10 30-99 $8 100 and up Unlimited $1,600 The above schedule means that the first copy is $50, the 2nd through 5th copies are $22, and so forth. (The exception is the unlimited license which represents the total license cost.) So, for example, 6 copies would cost $154 ($50 + 4x$22 + 1x$16). My terms read support through a single person, though I'm flexible within reason.
