                           ╔NSTRUCTIONS
                           ============

         ╨AY╥OLL IS A SMALL PAYROLL CALCULATING PROGRAM FOR YOUR BUSINESS
WRITTEN BY ─ANNY ─EVOE.  ╘HIS PROGRAM IS SELF-EXPLANATORY, AND THE USER
SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM USING IT.
         ╔N ORDER TO USE ╨AY╥OLL, YOU ═╒╙╘ HAVE THE FOLLOWING EQUIPMENT:
  1) A ├OMMODORE 128 OR 128─
  2) ┴╘ ╠┼┴╙╘ ONE DISK-DRIVE
  3) A ├OMMODORE COMPATABLE PRINTER (CURRENTLY SET FOR THE ╧KIDATA 120)

╚OW-╘O-╒SE
==========
         ╨AY╥OLL IS AN EXTREMELY USER-FRIENDLY PROGRAM. ┴S A MATTER OF
FACT, IT CAN TELL WHEN YOU ARE USING THE PROGRAM FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND
IT WILL ASK YOU SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS IN ORDER TO PROPERLY CONFIGURE THE
PROGRAM.  ┴FTER YOU HAVE ANSWERED ALL OF THE QUESTIONS, IT WILL ASK YOU
FOR SOME EMPLOYEE INFORMATION.  ╫HEN YOU HAVE ENTERED ALL OF YOUR EM-
PLOYEES, IT WILL SAVE THEM TO DISK.

         ╨AY╥OLL CONSISTS OF TWO MENUS; A MAIN MENU AND A SUB-MENU.  ┘OU
WILL GET A MENU THAT LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

                  ═AIN ═ENU
   1)        ─O THIS WEEKS ╨┴┘╥╧╠╠
   2)        ╨RINT A PREVIOUS WEEK'S PAYROLL
   3)        ╚IRE/╞IRE/├HANGE ┼MPLOYEES
   4)        ├HANGE CURRENT ├ONFIGURATION
   5)        ╔NSTRUCTIONS (TURN PRINTER ╧╬!)
   6)        ╤UIT.

         ┬Y ENTERING '1', YOU WILL BE DOING THIS WEEK'S PAYROLL.  ╞IRST,
IT WILL ASK YOU WHEN THE WEEK WILL END.  ┴NSWER IN THIS FORMAT: 120587
FOR ─ECEMBER 5, 1987, OR, IF THE MONTH IS BEFORE ╧CTOBER, YOU CAN ANSWER
SOMETHING LIKE 20588, FOR ╞EBRUARY 5, 1988, THUS ELIMINATING THE FIRST 0.
╔T WILL THEN SHOW YOU AN EMPLOYEE WITH HIS STATS.  ┘OU THEN ENTER THE
REGULAR HOURS, OVER-TIME HOURS, AND THE SPECIAL HOURS (BIRTHDAY, SICK,
VACATION, ETC.).  ╔F YOU HAVEN'T YET ADDED UP THE HOURS, YOU CAN ENTER IT
DAY-BY-DAY.  ╞OR EXAMPLE, IF A PERSON HAS 22 HOURS BUT YOU HAVEN'T
COMPUTED IT YET, YOU CAN ENTER IT LIKE THIS: 7.5+8+4.5+2, WHERE EACH
NUMBER IS THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT THE EMPLOYEE HAD WORKED EACH DAY.  ┘OU
WILL THEN HAVE THE OPTION TO SAME THE REPORT TO DISK.  ┴NSWERING '┘' WILL
SAME IT, ANY OTHER KEY WON'T.  ╘HEN, TURN ON YOUR PRINTER AND HIT ANY KEY
TO PRINT THE REPORT.

         ┬Y SELECTING OPTION '2' ON THE MAIN MENU, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
PRINT A PREVIOUS WEEK'S PAYROLL IF IT HAD BEEN SAVED TO DISK. (╬╧╘┼: IF
YOU CHANGED YOUR STORE LOCATION AFTER THE REPORT HAD BEEN SAVED, THEN YOU
MUST USE OPTION '4' ON THE MAIN MENU AND PUT IN THE OLD STORE LOCATION IN
ORDER TO PRINT THE REPORT!)  ┘OU WILL THEN BE INSTRUCTED TO INSERT YOUR
DATA-DISK. ┴FTER YOU HIT A KEY, YOU MUST ENTER WHEN THE WEEK HAD ENDER
(EG. 120587).  ╔T WILL THEN SEARCH FOR THE REPORT. ╔F IT FINDS THE
REPORT, IT WILL LOAD IT AND YOU WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO RE-INSERT YOUR
╨AY╥OLL DISK IF THE DRIVE NUMBER IS 8.  ┴FTER THAT, HIT ANY KEY TO PRINT
THE REPORT.  ╚OWEVER, IF IT DOESN'T FIND THE REPORT, A MESSAGE WILL
APPEAR ON THE SCREEN, THEN YOU WILL BE ASKED TO RE-INSERT THE ╨AY╥OLL
DISK IF THE DRIVE NUMBER IS 8.

         ╧PTION '3' HAS A SUB-MENU WHICH HAS FIVE OPTIONS:
     1) ╚╔╥┼ AN ┼MPLOYEE
     2) ╞╔╥┼ AN ┼MPLOYEE
     3) ┼─╔╘ AN EMPLOYEE
     4) ╥ETURN TO ═AIN ═ENU
     5) ╤╒╔╘.

         ┬Y SELECTING CHOICE '1', YOU WILL BE ADDING EMPLOYEES TO THE
PAYROLL.  ┘╧U WILL THEN BE INSTRUCTED TO ENTER THE PERSON'S NAME, SOCIAL
SECURITY NUMBER (EG. 123456789), EMPLOYEE NUMBER, AND REGULAR RATE OF
PAY.  ╘HE OVER-TIME RATE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE COMPUTED.  ╔F YOU SHOULD
ENTER OPTION '2', YOU WILL BE TAKING A PERSON OFF OF THE PAYROLL.  ┘OU
WILL THEN BE INSTRUCTED TO ENTER THE PERSON'T ╔─ NUMBER, AND IF IT IS
FOUND, IT WILL ASK FOR CONFIRMATION TO FIRE THE EMPLOYEE.  ╧PTION '3'
ALLOWS YOU TO GIVE THE PERSON A RAISE, OR TAKE AWAY SOME OF HIS PAY.
╫HEN HIS NAME APPEARS, SIMPLY ENTER THE NEW RATE OF PAY.  ╧PTION '4' DOES
JUST WHAT IT SAYS; RETURNS YOU TO THE MAIN MENU.  ╧PTION '5' TAKES YOU
INTO ┬┴╙╔├.

         ╔F YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE YOUR NAME (HIGHLY UNLIKELY), YOUR
STORE NUMBER, YOUR CITY/STATE, OR YOUR DATA DISK-DRIVE NUMBER, HIT OPTION
'4' AT THE MAIN MENU.  ╘O KEEP ANY OF YOUR OLD ANSWERS, SIMPLY HIT
<╥┼╘╒╥╬> INSTEAD OF ENTERING THE NEW VALUE.

         ╘O VIEW THESE INSTRUCTIONS, TURN YOUR PRINTER ON AND HIT '5' AT
THE MAIN MENU... WHAT COULD BE EASIER?

         ╞INALLY, IF YOU ARE DONE USING ╨AY╥OLL, JUST HIT '6' AT THE MAIN
MENU AND YOU ARE BACK IN ┬┴╙╔├.

                        ==============================

         ╔N THE LATER VERSIONS OF ╨AY╥OLL, ╔ PLAN TO ADD SOME ENHANCE-
MENTS.  ╞OR EXAMPLE, ╔ WANT TO MAKE THIS PRINTER COMPLETELY COMPATABLE
WITH ALL DOT-MATRIX PRINTERS.  ╔ WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD IN A FEATURE THAT
WILL SHOW THE USER WHAT ╨AY╥OLL REPORTS HAVE BEEN SAVED TO DISK.

         ╘HIS PROGRAM WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR ╥OLAND ╩EAN, A MANAGER
OF ONE OF THE ├HILD ╫ORLD/├HILDREN'S ╨ALACE STORES.  ╨LEASE FEEL FREE TO
