CANADIANIZED ICPA CONFIGURATION FILE updated 1993-04-07
------------------------------------
The Canadian version of ICPA is now being given formal support,
in that a commitment has been made to provide day-of-announce
updates for product and pricing announcements. While that
commitment has been made by Cdn. Management, it may take a while
to locate all the potential owners of products suitable for inclusion
in ICPACDN, and have them personally committed to providing the
necessary information. Our goal is best-of-breed, six sigma
accuracy. Let us know if we miss that target.
Please report any errors, omissions, suggestions or questions to
CANVM2(SALESADV). It is our intent to provide the missing 'help' file
for the program, once we can obtain committed support. The Cdn. Sales
Advisor (also available on OS2TOOLS or IBMLink) is no longer being
maintained, as most of the "function" it contains are present or
improved upon in ICPA, as well as many new functions not previously
available in the Sales Advisor are now provided within ICPA.
Files and their Contents
------------------------
1. PRCP01.EXE the configurator application itself
2. PRICES.LST the price list, in ASCII format. Includes the various
price columns, and the date of the last change for any
price (not necessarily one of the prices shown)
Items are now sorted in order of most recent price change,
for ease of use. Import into a spreadsheet (e.g. Lotus)
to make your own price list.
3. PRICING.PRO the 'profile' used to load the price list. Contains the
PRICE FILE DATE shown in the Configurator main screen.
4. README.DOC this file
5. ICPACDN.NEW changes to the data/prices/Help File since the last release.
This data is also available as the first item in "Help".
6. ICPA.PRM the parameters used for fonts, window sizes and locations.
Change these using the 'Options' header.
7. *.CFF Sample configs. See 'Customer Information' under 'Options'
for a description of the configuration you have selected.
8. PRCP01.HLP The help file, containing add'l info about many products
listed in the Configurator. The help file sections can
be printed on almost any printer.
9. PRCP01.INF The help file, in a version that can be accessed outside
the PRCP01.EXE Configurator application. To access THIS
version of the Help file, use the OS/2 "VIEW" command
and set up a separate session (which will have a different
icon, shaped like a book. This file is not distributed
to every user, in consideration for the time required
to download the entire package.
