█ INSTALLING THE HOURLY RATES (SETUP)
▒ ══════════════════════════════════
▒
░ ALPHQUOTE enables the user to set HOURLY RATE values
░ for typesetting, paste-up and design. These HOURLY
░ RATE values are initially set at rates used in the
░ Washington, D.C. area. Use the values supplied, enter
░ your own values, or use the hourly rates generator
░ program GENERATE.EXE which is included with the
░ ALPHAQUOTE archive.
░
░ The answers to the questions in the SETUP function
░ need only to be entered initially or when hourly rates
░ change. Answer the questions as they appear. If
░ SETUP has been completed once, those values will appear
░ in the response boxes when SETUP is recalled. They may
█ be modified at this time. All penalty and credit
█ percentages are percentages which will be multiplied
░ times the base price. In the example, a response of
░ Fair for Copy/Pasteup conditions, will result in 15% of
░ the base price ADDED to the base price. Telcom/Media
░ percentages are CREDITS and will SUBTRACT that
░ percentage from the base price. Use the Language/
░ Tabular penalty for any more difficult work such as
▒ math, runarounds, or tabular.
▒
░ Page 2 of the SETUP function contains questions
░ pertaining to Company Name, Company Address, Company,
░ City/State. The responses are used to form the masthead
░ portion of the printed report produced by selection 'P'
░ (Print) of the MAIN MENU. ALPHAQUOTE contains a
░ generic printer driver program that will work on most
░ printers using the Epson FX80 standard. Select D for
█ dot matrix printer, L for letter quality printers or
█ 'G' for a generic printer.
░
░ This function needs to be accessed only when changes
░ occur to the hourly rates or percentage factors.
░
░ NOTE: When estimates are saved to disk, the setup rates
░ in effect at the time are saved with the estimate.
░ Loading an old estimate from disk will change the rates
░ in setup to those in effect at the time of the estimate.
░ Answer 'Y' (yes) to the Load Current Rates question in
░ the setup menu to update old estimates. Press F2 to see
░ the change to the new rates. Please be sure to save
░ the estimate again this time containing the new rates.
