Dear ShareWare Vendor/Sysop:
This file contains our distribution policy and information on all products.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
All Compass / New England products are protected under United States and
international law by registered copyrights. As a shareware distributor,
you have permission to distribute our shareware in its original
electronic form as long as you:
* identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition)
* leave all intellectual property (copyright) notices in place
..and as long as we do not request that you stop.
That's it.
You may archive our programs, unarchive them, use your own installation
routines, include them with other programs on the same diskette, and do
essentially anything you want as long as you follow these simple rules.
We want the widest possible distribution, and don't want to stand in
your way so long as you are honest with our mutual customer.
Our normal distribution sequence is:
1 New versions are offered to our registered users and are
automatically shipped to new registrants.
2 New versions are posted on CIS (use IBMFF on ID 70511,720) & GEnie
HOSB library 12 (R.Schenot).
3 Major revisions and new products are released through SDN.
4 All ASP distribution members are included in the regular ASP mailing.
This saves both of us both money and effort; if you are not an ASP
vendor or bulletin board member, please consider joining.
5 Then, we send copies of major revisions of software to non-ASP
distributors who have notified us of their interest. If you are a
catalog house, send us a copy of the catalog in which the program
appears, together with a copy of the diskette(s) containing the
program(s) you wish to distribute; we will send you a copy of any
major updates to our software. If you run a bulletin board, send us
a diskette(s) containing the program(s) you wish to distribute, and
your mailing address, and we will update the diskette and mail it
back to you. Since all program copies are serialized by to whom they
were originally sent, we are able to track registrations by vendor.
As long as we receive registrations containing your number for any
product, we will continue to provide you with updates for all
products.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please contact me:

Key Words: Time Expense Tracking Logging Cost Accounting Interruptions Lawyer
Accountant CPA Consultant Professional Laptop ASP Shareware TimeTrac
Compass
Description: Workgroup or individual time & expense tracking. Real-time
(TSR) or manual input. Provides flexible key structure & reporting,
interrupted task tracking, multiple time tracking methods, partial &
full report generation, export to other programs, portable & LAN
support, context sensitive help, complete manual on disk.
TimeTrac allows individuals in a workgroup to track their use of time on
laptop computers while in the field and then export the information to
accounting, project tracking, spreadsheet and database programs.
TimeTrac includes an optional (6K) TSR function that allows users to
"pop" a timesheet over text or graphics programs to keep track of actual
time used. TimeTrac works equally well at the office on a Local Area
Network.
TimeTrac keeps track of multiple (nested) interruptions. Users can
begin doing something, be interrupted, have that interruption
interrupted, and still keep track of how the time was used. People who
provide client support while working on a project consider TimeTrac's
interruption-handling feature essential.
TimeTrac is ideal for corporate staff functions that charge out human
resources to departments, and professional service firms that prefer to
keep time logging and accounting functions separate.
Features include:
Flexible key structure and reporting options
Ability to track interrupted tasks
Optional TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) mode which allows you to
"pop up" over other applications to log your activities -- using a
"hot key" or when the phone rings.
Work group support either through a LAN (Local Area Network) or on
remote portable computers.
Export to spreadsheet, database, and accounting programs.
And menu driven rules for computing time used.
TimeTrac is different because it:
Tracks and calculates time for an unlimited number of nested
interruptions.
Is not a billing system. This makes it appropriate for corporate
staff charge-out systems, large professional firms who need to feed
an existing billing system, and consultants who want to continue
using word processing for billing.
Uses menu-driven rules for the unit of time used, minimum amounts of
time, and how time will be calculated.
Integrates the time records of a group of people charging time to the
same project with or without a LAN.
Exports its data for analysis and processing to spreadsheet, database,
word processing and accounting programs.
Allows the user to define the key fields that will be used and how the
reports will total and subtotal.
Complete documentation for TimeTrac is embedded in the program; simply
press the F1 (help) key twice, and it will appear. The manual can be
printed by pressing one additional key.
