at least 256K memory. Dos 3.0 or greater is recommended.
You MUST have a CONFIG.SYS file on your startup disk with the
following command in it.. FILES=20
============================================================================
Floppy Disk Systems

be called the PROGRAM diskette. Next prepare a blank formatted
diskette to be used as a DATA diskette. Place the PROGRAM
diskette in drive A: and the DATA diskette in drive B:. From the
B> drive type: A:CPS
Be it known that by using a floppy disk you are limited to the
number of Prospects you can store. If You need to enter more
Prospects you will have to purchase a Hard Disk.

Hard Disk Systems
============================================================================
Copy all the files from the diskette onto your hard disk.
Load the programs by typing CPS and press enter.

Monitor Type
============================================================================
Some monochrome monitors on the market try to emulate a CGA color
monitor but the quality is very poor. One such monitor is the
Tandy VM-4. If you have this type of monitor you may have to run
this program in monochrome mode. To accomplish this press the
F10 Key at the Main Menu.
============================================================================

initialize the System record and create all necessary data and

Select the System Menu option. From here select Edit Church
Name. Fill in the name and address of your church.
Next select Define Label Size. If you are using standard labels
then 5 lines will be ok, if not, determine the number of lines on
your label and enter that number here. All labels are One Up
Labels.
Next select Define Merge Type. If you are using a Word Processor
that uses WordStar type data files then Select 'WS' for your
Merge Type. If you are using Word Perfect then Select 'WP' and

would get all Prospects who were NOT visited on or since that
date.
