Time is Money(TM) is a Shareware time and expense billing and accounting
system that will allow you to completely automate your billing and
receivables. It supports time billing in any increment, and also the sale
of equipment or fixed price contracts. Time is Money (for the sake of
brevity I will sometimes refer to Time is Money as TIM) facilitates the
time recording and billing process for anyone who bills by time and
project. It is a versatile time and expense billing system that maintains
records, automatically generates invoices, and keeps a history of the
payment of those invoices. TIM is not a complete accounting system. No
general ledger or payables system is included, but it will handle all your
time and expense billing requirements. Some of the features included in
this version of TIM are:
Time recording in any increment by project
Expense or fixed price contract recording
Maintenance of client list
Print labels
Maintain client credit balances for retainers
Bill to/Ship to reference
Inclusion of contact name on "Attention:" line of
invoice address
Automatic generation of invoices for all unbilled time
and expenses by project for one or all clients
All clients and projects can be billed for their
unbilled time with one menu selection
Statements of account by client
Unbilled time and expense reports
Pro-forma invoice
Sales tax reporting and recording
Unpaid bill report
New printer support module with support for laser printers
Although many time billing systems are available, very few can handle
equipment sales as easily and as effectively as TIM. Additionally, the
source code is included in the registration package, allowing TIM to be
customized to your own specifications. Finally, TIM is designed to be
simple to operate yet versatile.

INSTALLATION
Time is Money version 2.2 requires an IBM-PC/XT, AT or compatible computer
with a hard disk having at least 900K of free space, and approximately
450K of free ram memory after loading DOS and your normal operating
environment. It will run on either color or monochrome systems, and can
utilize practically any printer. Other versions of Time is Money which
will run on systems with less memory are available on request to
registered users. Also, a FoxPro version is available which has a command
line interface that simulates the command prompt in FoxPro.
If you are installing Time is Money from a distribution disk that has the
files INSTALL.EXE and this README.DOC file, then you should first create a
directory for your Time is Money program files (we recommend the name TIM)
by typing MD\TIM <Enter> at the DOS prompt (i.e. C>) of your hard drive.
Then make the TIM directory your current directory by typing CD\TIM
<Enter>. Next, you should place the distribution disk in your floppy disk
drive, and type A:INSTALL <Enter> to install the program. You will get a
message explaining the installation procedure, and when you respond with a
Y (for Yes) the files will be extracted from their archive into your TIM
directory. If you are installing from your hard disk, just copy the
INSTALL.EXE file into your TIM directory, and type INSTALL <Enter>, then
delete the archive file when installation is complete with the command DEL
INSTALL.EXE <Enter>.
When you have completed the installation procedure, type TIM <enter> to
install and run the program. If you are using a previous version of Time is
Money, and are a registered user call for an update program before
installing this version.
In order to run Time is Money, you must have a CONFIG.SYS file in the root
directory of your boot disk. It must have the following minimum values:
FILES=30
BUFFERS=15
If you do not have a CONFIG.SYS file, you can create one as follows. At
the DOS prompt of your hard disk (i.e. C>) type the following and press
the <Enter> key after each line:
CD\
COPY CON: CONFIG.SYS
FILES=30
BUFFERS=15
Then press function key F6 (it will display ^Z) and the <Enter> key. You
will get the message "1 file copied." You must reboot your computer
before the change will take effect.
STARTING PROGRAM
The shareware version of TIM is started by typing START <Enter> from within
the TIM directory (type CD \TIM <Enter> to get into the TIM directory) .
Once you are at the main menu, you should press function key F1 to read
the on-line manual. The manual is available at almost any point during
program operation, so if you have a question about what you are doing at
any time just press F1.
The FoxPro version is started by typing FOXR TIMFOX from the DOS
prompt in the TIM directory.
Thanks to Russell Freeland for his LIGHTBAR.BIN program, and Andrew
Schulman for his PAGES program upon which the on line help facility is
based. This program was compiled with the Clipper compiler by Nantucket.
And finally, thanks to you for using and registering this software.
Thank you very much for your interest in Time is Money, I look forward to
hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Custom Data Solutions
Martin Schiff, President and author of Time is Money
