FEATURES OF RETAIL PLUS
If you have been looking at sales and inventory software you have
probably voiced some of the following concerns:
- Why is it so complicated?
- Why is it so expensive?
- Why does it take so long to create a simple invoice?
The goal of retail management software is to help you concentrate on
your sales and your customers. Retail Plus serves that goal. It is
designed for those who spend too much time making up purchase orders,
counting stock, tracking sales, or preparing invoices. It is more than an
inventory system with a point-of-sale screen. It is an organizer, an
analyzer and a time saver. Retail Plus has the following features:
> Easy to use with pull down menus and pop-up windows.
> Built in help system - press the F1 key at any time for assistance.
> Complete sales and inventory data for each item in each location.
> Full-featured POS system with slip printer and cash drawer support.

> Accounts receivable/invoicing system, with overdue charges if needed.
> Three fast & easy ways to find and print an invoice.
> Auto-generated PO's with five methods of calculating order quantities.

> Fast client lookups by name, company or phone number.
> Set up 2 sales taxes and optional add-on charges.
> Set up automatic discounts, tax rates or tax exemptions for any client.
> Set up a bonus points system to identify and reward your best client.
> Create, print and save price quotes that you can later use as sales.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

===== Installation =====================================
QUICKSTART INSTALLATION OF RETAIL PLUS
Retail Plus version 5.2 is supplied as an archive file called
"PLUS52.ZIP". It contains all the files you need. Follow these steps to
get a functioning system onto your hard drive:
1 - At the "C:>" prompt create a new directory on your hard drive and go
to that directory:
MD RETAIL <press enter>
CD\RETAIL <press enter>
2 - Using an archive un-packing utility such as UNZIP.EXE, unpack the
contents of PLUS52.ZIP into the new directory:
UNZIP A:PLUS52 <press enter>
3 - Now check for a file called "CONFIG.SYS" in the root directory of the
startup drive. If it is there it should contain the following statements
with the at least minimum values shown (they can be greater but not
smaller):
FILES = 30
BUFFERS = 10
You can check the contents of CONFIG.SYS just by typing:
TYPE CONFIG.SYS <press enter>
If the files & buffers statements are absent you can use any text editor
to insert them.
STARTING RETAIL PLUS
To start Retail Plus go to the directory where it is found and enter R52
at the DOS prompt:
CD\RETAIL <press enter>
R52 <press enter>
Explanation: The installation process creates a file called R52.BAT that
contains the following two lines:
SET CLIPPER=F:30
RETAIL52
Retail Plus should always be started up with this batch file, otherwise
your system may not allow it to open enough files. If at some point in
the program you press F1 for help, and instead of a help screen you get a
DOS Error 4 (too many files open), then you know that you cannot open
enough files. If this happens try typing SET at the DOS prompt. You
should then see CLIPPER=F:30 on the screen along with the other DOS
environment setups. If it is not there then the program was not started
up using R52.BAT. If the file R52.BAT is missing you can create it with
any text editor such as the DOS Edit command.
Retail Plus is initially configured to start without requiring a
password. If it does prompt you for a password just type "TEST" and press
ENTER. You can remove this password later and set up new ones if you need
security. If this password does not give you access then someone has
already set up the system for security.
