■ INTRODUCTION
The BRAIN is a Job Scheduler and/or Menu system for use on MS-DOS based
microcomputers. Use the BRAIN to run any program or batch file during the
day or night; manually or according to a schedule. The BRAIN can also act
as a Menu system, allowing you to select then run a job or program.
The BRAIN was developed to facilitate the maintenance, reporting and
archiving that many businesses experience. DAYO BRAIN schedules and runs
programs and routines at pre-selected date and/or times. It will give you
the freedom to run tedious and/or time consuming programs, ie: reports,
backups, archives and indexes, at what would normally be non-productive
times (ie: at night & weekends). This will allow you to be more
productive since your work will continue when you aren't even around!
Run those maintenance routines when you are there! Have your reports
waiting on the printer when you get to work!
DAYO Multiuser Applications comprises a wide range of products designed
to run businesses. The product line includes accounting, inventory,
utility and other software packages. The system is totally integrated
and multiuser (ie: Novell (tm) & LANtastic (tm) ).
Other DAYO Products:
Inventory Inventory Control, Vendors, Purchasing, Receiving
Quotes Sales Quoting System
Price Books Special pricing for your customers as well as a wide

■ REQUIREMENTS ***
IBM or Compatible CPU
640K memory
* DOS 3.3 or above
Hard Disk
VGA Card and Monitor
Mouse (Highly recommended, but not required)
DAYO BRAIN is a program with a Graphic User Interface (GUI) requiring a
VGA monitor and adaptor card capable of a resolution of 640x480 (16
colors/shades). A mouse is highly recommended, but not required.
If you are using a mouse, make sure your mouse driver/software
(ie: MOUSE.COM), is loaded before you load the BRAIN.
■ SETUP
To setup DAYO BRAIN, use the SETUP program supplied on the MENU or
Update & Conversion diskette, or copy the contents of the DAYO BRAIN
floppy disks into a directory on your hard disk (ie: \BRAIN), then
'uncompress' (ie: PKunzip ) them. When running DAYO BRAIN for the first
time, it will create all the index, and some configuration files it
requires for operation.
Type and enter 'BRAIN' at the DOS prompt to run the program.
■ DAYO BRAIN FEATURES
The DAYO BRAIN main screen is designed to show all its available options
and functions through the display of 'buttons'. All fields of the job and/or
schedule are displayed onto the screen as well. In case you forget the day
of the month (something we do sometimes), or need to schedule a future job,
a calendar displayed in the lower left corner. A statistics box at bottom
center of the screen displays key information about your system, ie:
available disk space. The selection/option buttons are placed along the right
side of the screen. The small square button in the upper left hand corner is
the Escape (Esc) button. You may use your mouse, keyboard, or HOT keys
(explained in a later section), to access the many options of the BRAIN.

After selecting the ADD option, a box will appear asking if you wish to
continue with the procedure to add a new record. Click the YES button
to add a record or NO to exit back to the main screen. If you selected YES,

The PACK function PERMANENTLY removes deleted records from your
databases. Files are not removed from your databases when you use the DEL
button; they are only 'marked' for removal. The PACK function removes the
files marked for deletion permanently. This can be a very dangerous
procedure. It may be wise to make a backup of all your data before
performing this function.
If you want to PACK, click on the PACK button or press Alt P. A pop-up
window will appear asking if you really want to PACK. Answer YES to
continue, NO to return to the main screen. If you answered YES, another
pop-up screen will appear. This is an information screen advising you
that you must have exclusive use of all the BRAIN databases (ie: Novell,
LANtastic). Make sure that you are the only one accessing these databases
and click on OK or press Enter. Another pop-up screen appears and asks if
you are 'Really Sure' you want to PACK. The purpose of these pop-up
screens is to insure that the user doesn't accidentally run the PACK.
Any damaged or destroyed data can not be retrieved. If you are sure you want
to pack, click on Yes, if not click on NO and return to the main screen.
If you selected yes, the databases will be packed and you will return to
the main screen.

■ KEYBOARD STUFFER │Stuff│ or │Alt│ │K│
└─────┘ └───┘ └─┘
One of the most important options in the BRAIN is the Keyboard Stuffer.
Use this routine to 'stuff' keystrokes into the jobs/batch files/programs
that are run. This option extends the number and types of programs that
can be run to include those that have prompts.
Valid keyboard stuff codes/values are special scan codes for function
keys like the F1 through F12 keys, combinations of the ALT, CTRL and Shift
keys with others, the arrow keys, numeric keypad keys and others. Literal
values are acceptable when surrounded/enclosed by single quotes, ie: 'QUIT'.
Special scan codes are generated by each key combination on your
keyboard. A following table lists the codes generated by the computers
at TJS LAB. If you have any problems with them, download SCANCODE.EXE from
our BBS (407) 292-4921 (8-N-1, 1200-9600). It will show you what your codes
are, if different from ours.
BRAIN V4.01, Copyright 1987-1992, TJS LAB, Inc. Page: 13
Examples:
1. Job HOTJOB.BAT: CD\DBASE
DBASE
DO JOB1
QUIT
Keyboard Stuffer for HOTJOB.BAT: 'DO JOB1' 7181 'QUIT' 7181
(Note, after the batch file loaded dBase (tm), the string
'DO JOB1' was stuffed, then the Enter key scan value of '7181'.
While dBase runs the program JOB1, the 'QUIT' string
plus another Enter key value was stuffed. After running JOB1,
dBase terminates, and control returns to the BRAIN)
only the Enter key '7181' value was require to pass the
PAUSE key in the batch file)
2. Job DEMO.BAT: CD\BACKUP
CLS
REM About to backup some data
PAUSE
PKZIP DATA \DAYOPOS\*.DB?
PKZIP DATA \DAYOPOS\*.CFG
Keyboard Stuffer for HOTJOB.BAT: 7181
(Note, only the Enter key '7181' value was require to pass the
PAUSE key in the batch file)

■ SPECIAL FILES
When a job is run, BRAIN creates temporary files (swap memory files)
in its current directory. These files usually contain numeric digits. If
HIMEM.SYS is loaded and memory is available, a file with the name like
'TEMP0001.RAM' will be created. The files are deleted by the BRAIN after
it executes a job. A real disk space problem will occur if the BRAIN does
not return to its execution after running a job (ie: a reboot). These files
are large (about 400k), so look for them (check the date). Erasing 'active'
memory swap files will cause the BRAIN to abort. On networks, multiple
swap files may be present...
