What Job Summary? is a tool to help you keep track of jobs for which
you are contracted or sub-contracted. WJS gives you an easy way to
track summary information about your jobs; the estimating and details
are left entirely up to you. WJS then provides reports for the banker
and bonding company as well as to help analyze your work load.
WJS can track up to 260,000 jobs per year, which is a limit of the
numbering system used; your practical limit will be determined by your
computer speed & hard disk capacity and will probably be in the
under-10,000-jobs-per-year range. For each of these jobs WJS has a
place to enter the relevant bid, cost, and income figures - somewhat
like a spreadsheet. Since WJS is not an estimating or billing package,
it seems reasonable to assume that you will have total amounts
calculated from another programme (or by hand). So WJS does not attempt
to duplicate the functions of these other software packages, but rather
it takes totals and puts them all neatly in one place and prints reports
which are probably not available in your other software packages.

specific to a directory. This way you can track
different companies in seperate directories without
duplicating the programme files, or you may want you
data files in a seperate directory for easy back-up.
Installation Notes
──────────────────
If you received your copy of WJS on disk it has an installation programme
on it. Using INSTALL is faster than installing/updating manually and it
will not touch your AUTOEXEC or CONFIG. Just put the floppy in a drive and
type "d:INSTALL" where "d:" is the floppy drive letter (e.g., "A:").
If you have received WJS from a bulletin board, it should be extracted
into its own directory for the sake of organization. Then just type WJS
and set your Preferences.
Documentation Files
───────────────────
If you have WordPerfect 5, just load WJS.WP. Instructions to reformat
and print are in a comment at the top of the file. If you don't have
WordPerfect or a way to convert the WJS.WP file to your word processor, then
just "TYPE WJS.TXT > PRN" at the DOS prompt to print WJS.TXT, which is an
ASCII file generated from WordPerfect for a "standard printer."
