- WELCOME TO RENT SYSTEM
-
-
- Welcome to RENT, a time-saving system for landlords. Rent can
- efficient retain, maintain and print building income and expense
- transactions,tenant and landlord information and memos.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENT AND PREPARATION
-
-
- An IBM PC-AT or compatible personal computer is required for
- RENT system. The computer requires a 640 KB DRAM for the MS-DOS
- operating system, a hard disk and a high density floppy diskette
- drive. The hard disk is designated as Drive C. Its free memory
- space should be at least 10 MB for normal operation. The hard disk
- should be formatted using DOS 3.0 or later versions and its utility
- programs should reside in the hard disk. When loading the program
- into the hard disk of your computer, a new subdirectory called
- NEWRENT will be created by the program supplied by the RENT
- package. This subdirectory will hold all of the programs and
- database files. All indexed files which are needed for operation
- will also be in this subdirectory.
-
- Execute the following steps to load DOS and RENT into your
- computer. If you already have DOS on your computer go directly to
- step [6], otherwise the DOS subdirectory required for the DOS
- utility programs may be created as follows:
-
- [1] Switch on the computer.
-
- [2] At the C:> prompt, enter the command MD DOS.
-
- [3] Now go to the newly created DOS subdirectory by typing the
- command: CD DOS. The C:> will change to C:\DOS>.
-
- [4] Insert the DOS diskette into Drive A
-
- [5] Now enter the command COPY A:*.*.
-
- All of the DOS utility programs will be copied into the DOS
- subdirectory on the hard disk. Please note that the program to
- park the head of the hard disk (PARK.COM) should also reside in the
- DOS subdirectory. Consult your computer dealer to obtain such a
- program.
-
- After the DOS subdirectory has been created and the files
- copied into it, follow these steps to load RENT system onto your
- hard disk:
-
- [6] At the C:\> prompt type CD\. C:\DOS> will change back to C:>.
-
- [7] If RENT system and databases store on 3.5" disk.
- Insert a diskette into Drive B and at the C:> prompt, type
- B:INSTALL.
-
- If RENT system and databases store on 5.25" disk.
- Insert a diskette into Drive A and at the C:> prompt, type
- A:INSTALL
-
- The program 'INSTALL' on the diskette will create a new
- subdirectory NEWRENT and copy into it all the RENT programs and the
- required database files.
-
-
- After all the files have been copied into the NEWRENT
- subdirectory.
-
- After the copying and indexing operation, you should remove
- the diskette from Drive B or Drive A and store it in a safe place.
- RENT system is now ready for operation.
-
-
- *******************************************************
- From now on you only need do two steps to use RENT.
- First step: From C:> prompt type CD\NEWRENT
-
- second step: At NEWRENT dirctory type NEWRENT.
- *******************************************************
-
- Warning: If you run the INSTALL program again after you have
- loaded the RENT programs and have entered data, the
- existing database files will be erased from the hard
- disk.
-
- To ensure normal operation of RENT, the free space available
- on the hard disk will be checked every time you turn on the
- computer. A warning message will be displayed when the total free
- space on the hard disk is less than 6 MB (megabytes). When this
- happens we suggest that unnecessary files outside the RENT
- subdirectory be deleted.
-
- The first screen will give a brief introduction and list some
- precautions. Enter C to continue, enter the correct date when
- prompted and press <ENTER>. If the date is correct, leave the
- date alone and press <ENTER>. Press O to continue to the next
- screen or <ENTER> to correct the date.
