MAIN MENU HELP
**************************************************
This is the LOWER's Business Solutions (LBS) MAIN
MENU.
THE CLIENT DATABASE SHOULD ALWAYS BE FILLED IN FIRST
AND KEPT CURRENT. IT IS USED BY ALL OTHER DATABASES.
OVERVIEW is on the menu bar of the application you go
to. This provides a high level view of the
application you are in.
HELP is also on the menu bar. HELP will describe the
use of each selection or key on the menu bar.
Press F1 to gain access to the engine program Alpha
Four's help
Press CNTL/F10 activates a calculator within LBS.
Press, after exhausting normal means, ESCAPE to leave
a screen, to back out of most screens, or to cancel a
selection.
Controlling the business is easy with the FULL
version of LBS. The TRIAL version is the same as the
FULL version except it is limited by the amount of
records that it can hold (100 records per database),
and some information is supplied minimally. This
is LBS way of allowing you to purchase and try the
program in your business before making a decision.
Purchase the FULL version, knowing it will work and
do the job for you.
Many reports are provided both for business status
and for tax purposes.
Please feel free to contact me to see about
enhancements you would like to see or changes you
might find useful. Remember, we do not want our
programs to tell you how to run your business. We
want the program to provide you with information so
you can knowledgeably run your business.
LBS application is written to help you run your
business in the simplest of ways, making the
following assumptions.
BUSINESS CONSIDERATIONS:
1) We have found a paper calendar the best to use.
Advantages are instant access to the calendar with
the computer turned off or during power outages.
Changes can be make if lightly penciled in. Please
feel free to let us know if we should incorporate a
schedular/calendar in this LBS program.
2) A paper receipt register is used. The forms are
three-part with a yellow copy going to the customer,
the pink copy stays with the contract, and the white
copy is put in the register storage area. The white
copy is then entered into INCOME. A receipt is filled
in for each income transaction.
3) A two-part contract (job order) is keep for each
job. All payments made will have a pink receipt for
each payment made by a client attached to the
contract. The original is kept by the business.
COMPUTER CONSIDERATIONS:
That you have an IBM (or compatible) personal
computer with 640K RAM. Additional memory beyond 640K
as expanded (EMS) or extended (XMS) memory will
improve this program's performance. If you choose to
run this program on a standalone computer you will
need one floppy diskette drive and a hard drive. DOS
3.3 or above is supported. If you wish to run this
program on a computer connected to a local area net
(LAN), the network must be either Novell or NetBios
compatible and must support the DOS 3.1 record and
file locking protocols. This program can be run from
diskless workstations connected to the network. This
program supports the following video adapters:
monochrome, Hercules, CGA, EGA and VGA. With a VGA
monitor, you will have access to many more color
choices for the program screens. A printer is
recommended, but not required. Dot-matrix, letter
quality and laser printers, including Postscript
printers are supported.
