- April 28, 1987 CS-IC Version 1.4 Cincinnati Shareware
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- The version of CS-IC that you have received via Shareware does not
- include user documentation. This program is NOT A DEMO; it is actually a
- full-blown inventory control system comparable to those found on larger
- systems. The user documentation has been excluded for two reasons:
-
- 1) The manual is far too long to fit on the same diskette with the
- programs.
-
- 2) If we gave away the manual, then you would have no reason to become
- a registed user. (for complete information on registration, see the
- file README.IC)
-
- Included in CS-IC.ARC should be the following files:
-
- IC.COM Main menu for CS-IC
- IC.DOC This file
- IC.SYS Screen data file
- ICOVLY1.CHN Program overlays
- ICOVLY2.CHN .
- ICOVLY3.CHN .
- ICOVLY4.CHN .
- ICSETUP.COM CS-IC configuration program (run first)
- README.IC Registration information and license agreement
-
- If any of these are missing, then the system is not complete. You may
- always download the latest version on Cincinnati Shareware (Opus) at
- (513) 531-4654. (1200/2400 and 9600-HST) There is never a charge for
- updates.
-
- CS-IC uses many files at once, so you will need a CONFIG.SYS file
- on your boot disk that allows for AT LEAST 20 data files.
-
- If you don't have a CONFIG.SYS file already, create it by typing:
-
- CD \
- COPY CON CONFIG.SYS
- FILES=20 (required)
- BUFFERS=40 (to speed things up)
- ^Z (control Z, return)
-
- If you have just created the file, you must reboot before running CS-IC.
-
- The first step is to configure the system by running ICSETUP. This program
- allows you to define the parameters such as company name, system type and
- printer controls that are used. All of the programs in CS-IC operate the
- same way. The following table describes the supported keyboard functions.
-
-
- LEFT/RIGHT arrows Moves the cursor within the current field
- UP/DOWN arrows Moves the cursor from field to field
- HOME Moves the cursor to the first field
- INS Turns on insert mode
- DEL Deletes the character under the cursor
- TAB Deletes from the cursor to the end of the field
- Backspace Destructive backspace
- RETURN Advances to the next field
- F1-F10, ESC Valid functions defined at the botton of the screen

-
-
- The following fields in ICSETUP require explanation:
-
-
- Company name : Enter YOUR company name as you would like for it to
- appear on your accounting reports.
-
- Printer device : If your printer is not called PRN, then enter the device
- name here; otherwise just press RETURN. This may also be
- used to route printed output to a file.
-
- Data directory path : Leave this field blank to create the data files in the
- current directory; otherwise enter the name of the data
- directory for CS-AR to create the data files.
-
- Inventory period : Defaults to the system date. This is in the form: MM/YY.
-
- Default sort method : This is the way that you would like most reports to sort.
- You always have the option to change the sort, this is
- just a default. Choose between Part number, Mfg/Part and
- Class/Mfg/Part.
-
- *******************************************************************************
- THE NEXT FOUR FIELDS CAN NOT BE CHANGED ONCE INVENTORY ITEMS EXIST IN THE FILES.
-
- Cost/price precision : You may have from 2 to 5 digits after the decimal point.
- (Precision from $.01 to $.00001)
-
- Quantity precision : You may have from 0 to 3 digits to the right of the
- decimal point for quantities. (From 1 to .001)
-
- Multiple locactions? : Defaults to NO. If you stock items in multiple ware-
- houses, say YES here. If you do, the LOCATION field
- will be required in many programs.
-
- Duplicate parts? : Defaults to NO. If one of your vendors' part numbers
- overlap with another, then say YES here. Parts will
- be unique by Mfg/Part number.
-
- ******************************************************************************
-
-
- Def vendor from Mfg : Defaults to YES. If you normally purchase parts directly
- from the manufacturer, say YES here. This simply controls
- the default in IMM.
-
- Trans cost entry : Defaults to UNIT COST. Some people would rather enter
- the extended cost when entering receipts.
-
- Transaction history : This allows you to control how long transactions will
- remain online until they are purged.
-
- Monthy hist. screen : This controls which parts (if any) will accumulate monthly
- history. (See IMQ)

-
-
-
- Default stock unit : This is the default unit that will appear in IMM. Usually

- automatically be created when a part is added in IMM.
-
- Reports form feed : Specify whether you want the printer to advance the paper
- before or after the reports are printed. Default AFTER
-
- Normal print, etc. : Enter the ASCII codes that IC-AR should send to your
