===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
The Raintree Reservation System is a full working business shareware
program designed to manage reservations and bookings for a variety of
accommodations businesses; including, resorts, inns, motels, bed &
breakfasts, campgrounds, rv parks and large scale billeting operations.
This single user version of the program supports up to 50 rooms, sites or
units. There is another version available to registered users that
supports any number of rooms running as a single user program or on a
network.
In addition to organizing reservations, powerful mail manager features
are included to facilitate correspondence with your customer base through
custom letters, or by simply printing mailing labels for a selected
subset of your guest file.
You can book reservations up to two years in advance and let the program
calculate room rates on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, using rate
tables that you design or just enter a fixed rate at reservation or
check-in time.
RRS takes the reservation upto check-in. At that point you can check-in
the guest, or check-in, post a payment and print a check-in folio as a
receipt. At any time, you can printout lists of current guests,
scheduled arrivals and departures and several source of business reports.
Another feature of the program is the ability to print custom letters.
For example, you can print a custom reservation confirmation letter using
precise information from the reservation form. See the examples
provided. RRS also prints a reservation form to keep as a hardcopy
backup of reservations and a custom check-in form that you might choose
to present to guests for a signature at check-in time.
Finally, in addition to many reports, you can over time accumulate a
sizeable guest file that you can use to write custom marketing letters or
print selected mailing labels for sending brochures. The guest history
file can also provide valuable information about your business activity
and source of business.
RRS does not include front desk or accounting functions. These features
are part of a companion program MotelMAX also published by MKM Software.
If you are using the program at an RV park, use the start command: RRS
RV <Enter> for more specific formatting of some screens and reports.
Benefits of Registration
------------------------
When you become a registered user of RRS, you receive:
* the latest version of the program with all shareware notices
removed.
* a printed user manual to assist in training new users.
* 90 days of free technical support.
* high speed data backup and restore features to automate the
backup process.
* notification of upgrades, additional features and companion
programs.
* a personalized copy of the program stamped with your
Property or Site Name (max 35 characters) to replace the
phrase 'Evaluation Version' that appears on screens
and printouts in the shareware version.
* an option to export guest addresses to file formats used by
word processing programs to print labels and form letters.
Hardware Requirements
---------------------
This program requires an 80386SX based computer or better. It will not
run on PC-XT or PC-AT computers. You need to have DOS version 3.3 or
higher. It is recommended that you have DOS 5.00 or later.
How to Learn the Program
------------------------
This program has many more features than can be easily explained. The
fastest way to learn what RRS can do is to use the program. Start by
selecting RESERVATIONS from the Main Menu and enter a few new
reservations. Press the <Insert> key while you are in the reservation
browse table to add a new reservation.
Always refer to the bottom of the screen for a list of options. Or if
you have to input data, the bottom of the screen will contain a message
telling you what information to enter. Generally speaking, from within
any browse table, press, <Insert> to add a new entry, whether a
reservation, a new guest, a new room setup, etc. Press <Enter> to edit
the currently highlighted entry in the browse table, or press <Delete> to
delete the highlighted entry. These keys are referred to throughout the
program screens as <Ins>, <Ent> and <Del> respectively.
Also, press F1 for context sensitive help. The help screens provide more
detailed explanations of your options. Once you enter a few
reservations, next begin selecting those options that let you view
reports and letters. The important thing to remember is you cannot make
a mistake and later you can go back and edit (by pressing <Ent>) or
delete (by pressing <Del>) any reservations you have entered.
RRS Setup
---------
The RRS program comes with sample data so you can begin using it right
away. One thing you will want to do is to enter your own room numbers.
Do not delete the existing room setups, simply change the numbers to
match your rooms. This is easier and faster. Also, at any time you can
rebuild the room availability tables and RRS will update room inventory
with the correct totals and advise you if there are any error cases,
reservations with undefined room numbers.

===== Installation =====================================
DOS Installation
----------------
Unzip the Raintree zip file into any directory on your hard drive. We
suggest creating a new directory called \RRS. The DOS command to make a
new directory is: MD \RRS <Enter>
The installation directory, \RRS, must be the default directory whenever
you start the program. To make \RRS your default directory, use the DOS
change directory command, type: CD \RRS <Enter>
The program start command is: RRS <Enter>.
Trouble Shooting:
----------------
If you have any problems installing and running the program, try this:
1. Be sure you are in the \RRS directory before you start the program.
The DOS command to change to the \RRS directory is: CD \RRS <Enter>.
2. Check your CONFIG.SYS file. Be sure the FILES= setting is 45 or
higher: FILES=45 If you change this setting in your CONFIG.SYS file,
reboot your computer.
3. After checking points 1 & 2, try restarting the program with this
command: RRS NEW <Enter>. The NEW switch will verify that all files are
present.
Windows 3.x and Windows 95
--------------------------
You can launch Raintree from an icon in any version of Windows. First,
install the program according to the DOS installation instructions. For
this example, we assume you have installed Raintree in a directory called
C:\RRS.
Create an icon using the Windows Program Manager, select FILE | NEW and
create a 'Program Item.' Next edit the 'Program Item Properties' to read
as follows:
Description......: Raintree 1.1
Command Line.....: C:\RRS\RRS.EXE
Working Directory: C:\RRS
Now you only need to click on the icon to start Raintree. When you exit
the Raintree program, you return to the Windows Program Manager. You
have to correctly identify the 'Working Directory' in order to launch
Raintree from Windows.
How to Order
------------
Please refer to the file ORDER.TXT
New Features
------------
Events Calendar. Mark as many events as you like on your events
calendar. You can optionally turn on the <Event Alert> feature. This
feature notifies operators when they book a reservation that spans a
calendar event. A pop-up message appears with a note instructing the
operator on how to book this reservation.
Quick Reservation. On the reservation browse table, press <Ctrl-Ins>
for a quick reservation. You can enter the entire reservation on a
single form. This option is for first time guests only.
Reservations by Arrival. You can now choose to view reservations for one
arrival date. The screen includes only reservations for that date. Press
the <Tab> key to select another date.
