e-CATALOG邃｢ is a pair of stand alone applications that lets you create an "electronic" catalog of your products and distribute the catalog to your customers. Send your catalog out on disk, be able to e-mail it or even put it up on bulletin boards. Open your business up to a whole new world of customers.
If you have a catalog now then you have all of the information ready somewhere in a page layout program, Microsoft Word, PageMaker, Quark, whatever. Special effort was made in the design of this program so that you could just cut and paste both text and picture from your existing catalog in the page layout program directly into e-CATALOG.
You can change some of the field names and column headers so you can customize e-CATALOG to your business. Instead of "Item#" have "ISBN#", replace Product name and Mfg. with Title and Publisher, instantly e-CATALOG is now set up for book sellers. This version also allows items that do not appear on the price list but can be printed out for special instructions, dealer applications, information about your company, or even forms for custom orders where the buyer could specify a color, size and style.
For the sales persons on the road with their PowerBooks, e-CATALOG will now maintain PO histories and reprint individual POs. For the company that wants to put their catalog on disk in the hands of teachers there is the new payment choice of "Government/School P.O.". For the mail order gift catalog company the PO now accommodates both ship to and bill to addresses.

* Two programs - one for making your catalog and one for distribution with your information
* Prints the Purchase Order for the customer
* Records credit card information for Fax orders
* 8000 character description or set of specifications for each item
* Allows you to attach a picture of the item

Computer files have an amazing life span frequently 5-20 times that of printed material. e-CATALOG will print the volume and date of the catalog on all spec sheets and purchase orders to avoid you having any hassles about future price changes with customers that have old copies of your catalog.
QwikBILL邃｢ is an ultra simple invoicing / Bidding / Accounts Receivable program. It was design to allow small service firms, contractors, and other independent providers of services, such as consultants, a quick and easy method of keeping track of sales, bids and accounts receivable. No general ledger account numbers and no inventories. Just point and click billing.
("QwikBILL邃｢" was a 1994 MacUser Interactive Shareware Award finalist.)
To use your own custom letterhead create it first in a "Draw" program that can save as "PICT" files. When you are happy with your drawing just select it, copy it to the clipboard, open "QwikBILL", and Paste it into the Invoice and/or Statement box on the PICT letterhead window.
QwikBILL will also create United Parcel Service entries for the QuickSHIP program. $49
QwikTEXTBILL邃｢ is identical to regular QwikBILL except it is set up to use one large text field for the invoice and it can have a 7x10 inch picture background for invoices and statements. $49
QwikBILL邃｢ (UK) is identical to regular QwikBILL except it is set up to use the British date format (dd/mm/yy). For users in the UK, Canada and Australia.$49
QwikMAILIST邃｢ is a complete mail list manager with label printing that can access the customer information in the QwikBILL files. You can have it create a mailing list by items purchased, invoice date, zip code, etc. Five types of labels are supported including using a custom drawing as your background and label printer shipping labels. Note that "QwikMAILIST" can contain an entire database of different shipping labels and will use whichever one you have selected. $19
QwikBILLTIME邃｢ is a time billing program for people that do consulting. It maintains time-in, time-out and a database of the notes from each conversation. In addition, this program can create an invoice for the QwikBILL application. Invoices created by QwikBILLTIME are recorded in the QwikBILL files as "Invoices on Hold". Just open the QwikBILL program review (or edit) the invoices and print them as regular invoices. This automatically adds them to the accounts receivable. $29
QwikAUTOBILL邃｢ is an auto billing program that allow you to store a list of recurring bills that must be invoiced to clients or rentors on a regular basis. You create an AutoBill for a client, just like a QwikBILL invoice, and assign it to a billing set. Once a month (or at any interval your choose) you tell QwikAUTOBILL to create invoices for the set. It will then go through and create QwikBILL invoices for each AutoBill in the set. This automatically adds them to the accounts receivable in QwikBILL. After the invoices are created you have the option of batch printing them. (You could also use this program for just batch printing regular QwikBILL produced invoices). Requires at least a 640x400 pixel monitor (PowerBook screen or larger). $49
TimeClock&SignOut邃｢ (SK SignOut邃｢) is a stand alone application that works like a sign in/sign out board. Helps keep track of who is where, etc. It also functions as a time clock allowing employees to clock in and out. There are reports and exports of tab delimited text files of the time clock file. In addition this program is also an in-house e-mail system.
This little utility operates at four levels depending on the original password level assigned to an employee:
At the highest levels (4 -9) the employee can only look at the board and make changes in his own status.
The middle level (2 &3 ) allows changing another person's sign in/out status (such as the receptionist).
Levels 5-2 do not allow access to editing or exporting the time clock file.
Levels 1 is for professionals and allows time clock file reports, editing and export.
Level 0 is the only level where you can set up new employees, change password levels and get into Preferences.
Use the "More than one person may access time clock from a single computer" button in Preferences if you are going to specify that one computer is to be used for the time clock. The alternative is that only the person that originally started the program will be allowed to punch the time clock so there must be a copy of the program on all computers on the network. $19 per computer.
SK Time Clock邃｢ - is a stand alone application employee time clock allowing employees to clock in and out. There are reports and exports of tab delimited text files of the time clock file. $19 per computer.
QwikCONGRESS邃｢ is a complete database of the members of the 104th U.S. Congress and Governors with letter, mailing label and envelope printing. (The Congress elected 11/08/94.) $19 per computer

What It Does:
Bill-IT is an extremely fast integrated billing system for small businesses or organizations. Invoices which allow up to 60 lines, accounts receivable and automatic billing are key functions of this product. The billing screen looks much like an invoice and as you enter a customer number it automatically brings to the screen the customer name, billing information and discount levels, and the current balance due. It will also create files for direct import into the "QwikSHIP" UPS manifest program.
Bill-IT is ideal for a business that has less than 8,000 customers and 8,000 inventory items. Many accounting packages provide for limited invoicing functions but Bill-IT is designed to handle these functions in a much more sophisticated and automated fashion. An end-of-month summary is created for use with your check writing or accounting program.
Inventory record files are maintained in which you can record item number, descriptions, manufacturer and vendor information, cost , selling price, quantity on hand, reorder point, and the MTD and YTD sales of the item. Items need not be merchandise. Items can be hourly labor charges, fees, lessons, memberships, or subscriptions. Automatic billing is also a very important function of Bill-IT. You can set an item to be billed at intervals from daily to yearly.
All transactions are immediately recorded to disk for maximum safety. When you quit out of Bill-IT you have the option to immediately make compressed backup copies of your files on floppy or hard disks. The program provides a complete audit trail and information can be exported as text files for other uses. In additions to invoicing and accounts receivable, Bill-IT is able to handle back order, special orders, packing slips, and layaways.
Cashier reports and a variety of sales reports are automatically created at end-of day and end-of-month closing. Aging of accounts receivable reports and printed statements are also featured. Memo fields and customer codes allow your Bill-IT to also be used to create mailing lists and labels for customers that meet special criteria.
Bill-IT is a very inexpensive solution to your invoicing and accounts receivable billing needs. As your needs expand, you can move to ShopKeeper Plus or ShopKeeper Multi-User versions and work from the same historical information and transaction files that were created by Bill-IT.
If Bill-IT is more than you need then we suggest you take a look at using the combination of the two shareware programs "QwikBILL" and "QwikMAILIST". These programs also link with the "QwikBILLTIME" time billing program.
When you register your Bill-IT program you will receive by return mail the latest version of the program, a disk full of useful utility programs and a 172 page reference manual.

CS Library邃｢
CS Library (CSL) is a program for the control of small libraries. It is set up to use and print bar coded patron ID cards and bar codes on the books for check in/out of materials. Bar code readers are optional since any information normally scanned in by a bar code reader may also be typed in.
A bar code label is created for each book and each patron. The patron label is usually then attached to the patron's library card. CSL uses inexpensive standard one inch continuous mailing labels for use with a dot matrix printer like the ImageWriter. For laser and inkjet printers CSL uses standard 3 across 10 down sheets of laser labels. $49.
The system is set up so that it may be used in the traditional way, where the librarians check out every book, or it can be used as an honor system checkout. In the latter case the patron merely scans his or her library card bar code then scans the bar code on each book they are checking out. Because CS Library is set up for the honor system it will always open up directly to the "Check Out" window. Other librarian functions are then accessed from the Options menu with a password and cannot be used by the patron. (Use the password "mn" until you set up your own.)
There is a "Find" button on the Check Out window. Pushing this button brings up a search catalog window to help the patron locate a particular book. After a patron has entered their ID in the "Your ID" field they can hit the "List" button to get a complete list of all items that they have checked out. If you have a printer attached to the computer they can also print out this list.
Checking in returned books is a librarian function and is accomplished by merely scanning (or typing) the bar code label ID of the returned book. CS Library takes care of the rest of the record keeping. $49
SK Modules (ShopKeeper Modules) is a series of interconnected applications for business. It is our belief that a business should have all of its data available on a single data base but that you do not need some enormous and confusing application that tries to do everything. In a multi-user network server situation the employee need only have the modules on their computer that they actually use. The receiving department only needs "SK Receiving", a cash register only needs "SK Cash Register". (You might want to put "SK Time Clock" on all computers for time clock, sign in/out and in-house e-mail.) No need for an employee to learn anything that does not directly effect their job and nine password levels insures that the employee only has access to the modules that you allow.
Requires:
窶｢ Macintosh with at least 8 megabytes of real RAM.
窶｢ Monitor with at least a 640x400 pixel screen, PowerBook or larger. (There is a version of SK Cash Register that will run on 9" monitors.)
窶｢ System 7.0 or higher.
窶｢ Hard disk with at least 40 megabytes free.
窶｢ Removable hard disk or tape drive for backups.
窶｢ Ethernet (Multi-user and Network file server versions only).
窶｢ 14,400 baud, or higher, modem with either Internet connection or America Online (for tech support and updates)
窶｢ Disinfectant邃｢ virus protection software.
窶｢ Optional - MacAuthorize邃｢ for credit card verification.
All SK Modules that are shipped are fat binary (680xx or Power PC native code). The downloadable shareware single user test versions are 680xx code these can be found on:
America Online: Computing->Business Forum
CompuServe: GO MACAP
Internet: http://www.copperhead.com/copperhead
The modules at this time are:
窶｢ SK Cash Register (cash register program that links with the invoicing module)
窶｢ SK Mailings (creates shipping or mailing labels from information in the SK Invoice files)
窶｢ SK Invoice (invoicing / order entry program and the accounts receivable)
窶｢ SK InvoiceQ (invoicing / order entry and the accounts receivable program for service firms)
窶｢ SK Receiving (purchase orders, receiving and accounts payable)
窶｢ SK Manager (used for setting up passwords and converting the register tape file to SK Invoices. Also needed in the multi-user versions to reindex and pack the files)
窶｢ SK SignOut (full employee time clock, sign in/out board and in-house e-mail)
窶｢ SK AutoBill (recurring billing like rents, annual dues or weekly standing orders.)
窶｢ SK Reports (end user requested reports of SK Modules information. Also has the End of... report.)
ShopKeeper Modules come in three flavors, single-user, multi-user, and network file server. All are built on a high speed "c-tree" data base engine that was ported over from mainframe computers.
Single-user- In the single user version only one module can be operating on one computer at a time. All SK Module programs and the "Files" folder are in a single folder that can only be operated on that computer. (You may have both the SK Cash Register program and one other module, like SK Receiving, open at the same time. This is so you can be working on a purchase order then just switch to the SK Cash Register program to check out a customer without loosing your work on the purchase order.)
Multi-user - All of the SK Module programs and the "Files" folder are in the same folder on the server computer. Client computers can connect to the server computer and open any of the multi-user programs then operate them from the client computer. Each multi-user program reads and writes to the data files directly.
A multi-user program must actually move each record (or index) across the network, check and see if it is the one it is looking for, then get the next record. This is not the most efficient method for multiple computers but under certain circumstances it may be preferable to the network file server. The only time a multi-user system is a better choice than a network file server is when you have a situation where the server computer must also be used as the primary work station and the client computers do not have to do extremely heavy disk input/output. A small retail store with two or three computers where the main computer is also the place where the manager does the ordering and reports would be one such situation.
Network file server - A separate file server program called NetSERVE is in the folder on the server computer with the "Files" folder. This NetSERVE program does all of the disk reads and writes. The SK Module applications actually sit on the hard disk of the Client computer. When a SK Module program is started it searches the network for the NetSERVE program. The module application sends requests for information to NetSERVE. NetSERVE gets the information from the data files then sends it back to the application that requested it. When the module application needs to write something back to the files the information is actually sent to the NetSERVE program which then writes the information to the files.
Network file servers are the most efficient method of handling information in data files that must be used by several people at the same time. The reason is that the program requesting the information need only send the request over the network. The file server program then searches the files and sends only the requested information back over the network. The actual reading through all the available information is done by the file server program on the computer with the files and involves no network activity while it is searching.

Check-It-Out (CIO) is a program for the control of lending departments like school media departments or police department equipment check outs. It is set up to use and print bar coded patron id cards and bar codes on the items for check in/out of materials. Bar code readers are optional since any information normally scanned in by a bar code reader may also be typed in.
A bar code label is created for each item and each patron. The patron label is usually then attached to the patron's ID card. CIO uses inexpensive standard one inch continuous mailing labels for use with a dot matrix printer like the ImageWriter. For laser and inkjet printers CIO uses standard 3 across 10 down sheets of laser labels.
The system is set up so that it may be used in the traditional way, where the employees check out every item, or it can be used as an honor system checkout. In the latter case the patron merely scans his or her ID card bar code then scans the bar code on each item they are checking out. Because Check-It-Out is set up for the honor system it will always open up directly to the "Check Out" window. Other manager functions are then accessed from the Options menu with a password and cannot be used by the patron. (Use the password "mn" until you set up your own.)
Notice the "Find" button on the Check Out window. Pushing this button brings up a search items window to help the patron locate a particular item. After a patron has entered their ID in the "Your ID" field they can hit the "List" button to get a complete list of all items that they have checked out. If you have a printer attached to the computer they can also print out this list.
Checking in returned items is a management function and is accomplished by merely scanning (or typing) the bar code label ID of the returned item. Check-It-Out takes care of the rest of the record keeping.
After you install the Check-It-Out folder on your hard disk you should print out the complete "Using Check-It-Out" manual on disk.
