PRICEQUO
Version 1.0
(c) Copyright 1990 By B. Gail Jones
All Rights Reserved
Pricequo lets you determine printing costs of advertising materials, such as
brochures, flyers, etc., among different printers before having the job
completed. This program may be suitable for obtaining non-advertising
information as well.
A good way to prepare to use this program is to first determine the
quantities, paper stock, and other expenses, such as folding, color ink,
halftones, etc. After obtaining prices from different printing companies,
and knowing the costs of other materials and services, you're ready to begin
by typing Pr at the DOS prompt.
There are up to 4 columns of prices per company that you may enter.
You may also calculate and include extra charges in the cost comparison.
The printed results show the total unit cost per piece for each quantity,
by the company and stock. This is done by dividing the price and extra
costs, if any, by the quantity, adding the results to the cost of
each stamp and label, if required.
Pricequo is easy to use by just typing and entering, so no manual or
memorizing of functions is required. If you get an error message, such
as when you type a non-numeric character and a number is required, pressing
ESCape or a correct response returns you to the last entry. When editing,
the previous data of the chosen item is erased, and the new data is saved;
The up and down arrow keys are the only keys available in non-Num Lock mode
on the keypad; these are in use in Calc mode only.
Pressing F1 gives brief suggestions on how to enter data; however, the program
is easy enough to use by trial and error. F4 takes you out of the program,
and F8 is the Calc mode. The Calc mode is available where costs are
requested. This mode is for simple calculations. You make a selection
on the menu by pressing a first letter, or by pressing the up or down arrow
key and return. A response bar appears next to "Charge: " for you to type
a cost or any number. When you hit enter, another bar appears, for the next
number to be typed. Notice that there is a data limit on all entries
wherever this bar appears.
Once you've typed all data, be sure to have your printer on-line, because
the information will soon be printed. The default number of lines per
page is 50, but you can change this number when prompted.
