ZIPPER W-2, Version 1.0 -- README.DOC
ZIPPER W-2 provides a simple solution to the annual requirement of
issuing W-2 forms required by the Internal Revenue Service, and the
Social Security Administration. W-2 information is entered directly
into an on screen form that looks like the paper form. Data can be
updated and printed at any time. When you are ready, this information
gets printed onto preprinted, tractor feed, W-2 forms. ZIPPER W-2
automatically calculates sub-totals and totals as required.
Automatically creates, summarizes and prints the W-3 as well. Supports
all dot matrix printers. Registration fee of $29.00 plus $5.00 shipping
& handling includes 1 year of free unlimited technical support, a
printed User's Manual, 8 free W-2 forms, and unlimited access to the
shareware library maintained on the SOFTCRAFT BBS. The shareware
version includes all features of the registered version.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
OPERATING SYSTEM: ZIPPER W-2 runs in the MS-DOS / PC-DOS environment.
ZIPPER W-2 is not a "Windows" program. It will run quite nicely,
however, in a DOS window. ZIPPER W-2 requires MS/PC DOS version 2.0 or
later, and will run on the full family of IBM & Compatible PC's. This
means a PC, or an XT, or an AT.
HARD DISK: The installation of ZIPPER W-2 program and data files
requires a hard disk drive. You should consider 1.5 megabytes of free
disk space as a minimum amount available.
CONVENTIONAL MEMORY (RAM): ZIPPER W-2 requires at least 525K of RAM
when it loads. If you have less then this amount of memory available,
ZIPPER W-2 may still load, but it's performance may be reduced. ZIPPER
W-2 utilizes a 64K memory buffer for processing (sorting, etc). If the
full 64K is not available ZIPPER W-2 will use your disk drive for this
memory space. This will make the program noticeably slower, or it may
not run at all. You should be able to run ZIPPER W-2 if your computer
has 640K of conventional
USER'S MANUAL
The complete ZIPPER W-2 User's Manual is included on-disk as the file
W2.DOC. The User's Manual is an ASCII text file that may be printed on
your computer's printer. You can print this file with the DOS "COPY"
command:
COPY w2.doc LPT1
where LPT1 represents the printer you wish to use (in this case parallel
printer #1). You may also use the DOS "PRINT" command:
PRINT w2.doc
See your DOS User's Manual for more information about using either of
these commands.
SHAREWARE
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. Shareware
distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. The
author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software
only for the purpose of evaluation. With shareware you can find software
that suits your needs before you pay for it. With shareware you can try
before you buy. This is the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you
don't like the program, and don't use the program, you don't pay for it.
If you try a shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to
register (pay for it).
The fee (usually just a few dollars) you paid to a shareware distributor
or vendor is not the registration fee. SOFTCRAFT, the author of ZIPPER
W-2, does not receive any of the money you may have paid for a shareware
version of ZIPPER W-2.
If you find this program useful and continue to use ZIPPER W-2 after a
reasonable trial period (no more than 30 days), you must make a
registration payment of $29.00 to SOFTCRAFT. The $29.00 registration
fee will license one copy for use on any one computer, at any one time.
Please read the on-disk file, LICENSE.DOC for specific details as to
the limitations of the "Trial Use License" granted in connection with
your use of this product.
Since ZIPPER W-2 is a "shareware program", feel free to share it with
your friends or business associates. You may make any number of copies
of your original shareware distribution disk to share with others, but
do not give away copies that you have altered. You may not make
photocopies of the on-disk user's manual.
