- NOTE: The Readme.1st file was not included in this scan.
-
- System Requirements:
-
- 1. Hard Disk:
- To get started we reccomend 1 meg of hard drive space. The program
- with all docs etc occupies about 300k of disk space. Another 3-400k
- of space is required when the program swaps to disk for running DOS
- commands from within the program. Some files may be deleted, see
- below. Also, as your data files grow, they will require more room.
-
- The program can be run from a floppy, but is much more efficient
- from a hard disk. This will be discussed further.
-
- - continued -
-
-
-
- Readme.1st
-
- 2. Memory: Invoice Tracker requires 400k of available memory to run
- correctly. 500k or better is strongly advised, to get optimum use
- from the program.
-
- 3. DOS Ver. Invoice Tracker was originally designed with Dos 3.3, but
- should run well with any 3.x version. Runs under 4.0 and 5.0 also.
- I have never tested with versions earlier than 3.3, if you do run
- it under earlier versions, or if you have trouble with earlier
- versions, I'd like to know about it.
-
- 4. Video: Will run under MONO, CGA, EGA, VGA. Invoice Tracker will
- automatically recognize the video. If you're running mono, you're
- gonna miss some of the great color benifits.
-
- 5. Printer: A printer is required for the Shareware version to obtain
- printed reports. The registered version allows printing to a file,
- for later printing.
-
- To Install:
-
- Make a directory on your Hard drive ie: C:\ITRAK, then place the
- ITRAK10.ZIP in that directory and unpack it, PKUZIP ITRAK
- If you do not have a copy of PKUNZIP, you should be able to obtain
- it from the BBS where you downloaded the file.
-
- Once the program has been unzipped, you can view or print the
- documentation one of two ways.
-
- From the DOS prompt: type VIEWDOC to read the manual in a scrolling
- window. To print, enter either: copy itrak.doc prn - or -
- type itrak.doc>prn
-
- OR type TRACKER to start Invoice Tracker, choose Utilities from the
- Main Menu press F9 to read command descriptions.
- Choose Run Dos Command 1 to View Manual
- Run Dos Command 2 to Print Manual
-
-
-
- Files Required:
-
- The following files ARE required to run Invoice Tracker.
-
- *.DAT The data files.
- *.K## #= a digit; the index files
- *.MEM The Memo files
- RRUN.EXE The Runtime Engine
- ITRAK10.RUN The Program Module
- ITDOS-#.BAT Where # = 1,2,3 the batchfiles to run DOS programs
- from within Invoice Tracker
- TRACKER.BAT Is optional, you can use the commands in the
- batchfile from the prompt.

- Files For Deletion:
-
- The following files can be deleted, we reccomend that you do not do
- so right away. Please read the manual before you do delete them.
-
- Readme.1st This file
- Itrak.doc Program Manual
- Custom.doc How to get your program modified
- Register.frm Form for registering Invoice Tracker
- Newstart.bat You should keep this one until you have read the
- manual, and played with the program, using the
- supplied data files.
- Viewdoc.com Autoview of the Program Manual
- Avextra.txt Authentic Zip file text.
-
- Running From Floppy:
-
- Invoice Tracker can be run from a floppy, 360k will work. You will
- need the files listed on the previous page under required files.
- Two things to remember, the data files you create along with the
- index files will reside on the same disk, in the same directory. As
- the required program files use up almost 200k, this leaves little
- room for data and index files. A 1.2 floppy would be best.
- Also, running from a floppy will not allow you to use the DOS
- call (ITDOS-#.BAT) files.
-
- While Invoice Tracker is very easy to use, it is strongly
- reccomended that you read the manual, its only about 12 pages long,
- and it will make learning the program even easier.
-
- Thank You for Trying Invoice Tracker
