AN INTRODUCTION TO FREEWAY SOFTWARE
Welcome to FREEWAY Software - a new concept introducing you to
a whole range of software for the business user.
This software, now available to you and your colleagues,has been
in daily use in many and varied businesses for the last six
years. The enhancements made over this period are all included
in your version.
The enclosed disks contain FREEWAY programs for Sales Ledger,
Purchase Ledger, Invoice Production and Payroll.
FREEWAY SOFTWARE is available for you to use freely and there are
no limitations to its use other than those imposed by disk size.
(Unlike many other software companies we actively encourage you
to take copies of FREEWAY programs for other users - no licence
fee is involved.)
This introductory leaflet will provide adequate information for
you to use the system in its entirety. We feel sure that you will
find the programs invaluable in the administration of your
business.
Should you require a full and detailed manual to enable you to
use the programs to full advantage telephone FREEWAY for a copy
at minimal cost.
Should you require ASSURED SUPPORT you may wish to take advantage
of our telephone help service. Contact FREEWAY for details.

LABEL IT FREEWAY ACCOUNTING DATA DISK.
[If you are unfamiliar with the format routine refer to the
manual supplied with your computer.]

System is ready to use.
General instructions and system conventions are shown later in
this introduction.
IF YOUR COMPUTER CONTAINS A HARD DISK DRIVE
===========================================
IF YOUR COMPUTER IS IBM COMPATIBLE :
Ensure that the root directory contains the ANSI.SYS file
provided with the Operating System when you purchased your
computer.
Insert the FREEWAY ACCOUNTING PROGRAM disk in drive A
Type A: and press the enter key.
Type HDINIT1 then press enter.

You may then remove the FREEWAY ACCOUNTING PROGRAM disk.

The computer will ask you for details of your business name,
address etc. (Have your VAT registration number and post-code
handy.)
This information will be permanently stored with your accounting
data and will be used where appropriate, on printouts such as
statements of account.
Having created your accounts data on the hard disk (for the
technically oriented in \FREEACC\ Subdirectory) your FREEWAY
Accounting System is ready to use.
IF YOUR COMPUTER IS AN APRICOT OR SIRIUS :
Insert the FREEWAY ACCOUNTING DATA disk in drive B
Type B: and press the enter key
Type APRHD and press the enter key
The computer will ask you for details of your business name,

OUTLINE INSTRUCTIONS AND SYSTEM CONVENTIONS.
GETTING STARTED
If your computer is a twin floppy drive system:
Insert the FREEWAY ACCOUNTING PROGRAM DISK in drive A
Insert the FREEWAY ACCOUNTING DATA DISK in drive B
Ensure that you are in CAPS lock and NUMBER lock mode.
For hard disk and twin floppy systems alike all you need now do
is :
Type ACCOUNTS and press the enter key.
Enter the date in the following format (DDMMYY) e.g.
Date: 210784
Enter 21st July 1984 in the format shown above.
Select S for Sales Ledger
P for Purchase Ledger
SYSTEM CONVENTIONS
The use of the system is largely self-explanatory.
The following rules generally apply to all modules:
C (Enter) will CANCEL an entry part way through- where
appropriate.
E (Enter) will END what you are doing.
(Usually inserted in the date or account number field.)
In certain circumstances you will CANCEL what you are doing and
then E to END.
Having selected Sales or Purchases print out a Sales or Purchase
Daybook Summary and note the "Nominal Analysis Headings"
These should be amended to be appropriate for your own business.
NOTE THAT THE FIRST HEADING OF EITHER SALES OR PURCHASES SHOULD
BE SET UP FOR THE MOST PREDOMINANT TYPE OF SALE OR PURCHASE.
In default of an alternative number being entered this number
will be adopted. This speeds entry up considerably.
CUSTOMERS or SUPPLIER records should be created and documents
encoded with the customer number and nominal analysis code before
entering a batch of invoices.
VAT STATISTICS accumulate values from both sales and purchase
ledgers. They should be printed and cleared at intervals to co-
incide with your VAT periods.
The Vat Code numbers are used when entering invoices to allow for
correct allocation to the Vat Statistics file and for charging
VAT at the correct rate during Invoice Production.
CASH POSTING includes the facility to automatically discharge
invoices in order of entry. In addition invoices may be placed on
HOLD if in dispute and there is a facility to note JOURNAL
entries.
This introduction should enable you to become operational.

use the programs to full advantage telephone FREEWAY at the
number below for a copy at minimal cost.

service, contact FREEWAY software support on:
