CPMUG ABSTRACT.086:
CPMUG volumes 86-90 contain "BusinessMaster II", a comprehensive smallì
business software package for CBASIC-II. There were seven singleì
density disks originally contributed: five program disks, oneì
documentation disk, and one sample file disk. I combined these sevenì
disks to produce five CPMUG volumes. Thus not all references in theì
various documentation will directly apply disk by disk, but all theì
files submitted are included.
Only the files "CRJOSORT.BAS", "VPJOSORT.BAS", and the submit files forì
copying, XREFing, pipping, and compiling with printing which are in theì
documentation, were not included. The contributor felt the two missingì
".BAS" programs to be unnecessary. Also a minor bit of REMì
documentation seems to be missing off of the front of GLJOSORT.BAS.
I generated a compile submit file for each disk. The submit files haveì
the form:
$1 $2filename.typ $3 $4
Thus to compile them from the A: disk to the B: disk, type:
submit compile CBASIC2 A: B: $B
There are six .BAS files which are on every disk: ALL, FORMAT, CONTROL,ì
CHECK, READFILE, AND BIZMII.
The reminder of this abstract is the press release officially releasingì
BusinessMaster II into the public domain.

PRESS RELEASE
BusinessMaster II Released into Public Domain
For the protection of those who have purchased a package of Generalì
Business Software known as BusinessMaster II or Visaccount (which was,ì
as of March 1982, at least 95% derivative of Business-Master II) fromì
either OEM software (a Star Computer Systems company), Computer Servicesì
Corporation of America, 800-Software or other dealers OEM Software hasì
established we are hereby declaring this old version of BusinessMasterì
II in Public Domain. The Copyright notices were removed by OEM Softwareì
and the package was then sold to over 400 dealers for $375.
One of many dealers purchasing the package was Computer Servicesì
Corporation of America. Buck Lindsey CEO of Computer Servicesì
Corporation of America advised me last year that he felt the package wasì
in the public domain and whether it was then or not, it is now.
Computer Services Corporation of America made some minor changes to theì
package and renamed it VisAccount. Additionally they made 800-Softwareì
a discount dealer.
We are placing this package in [the] Public Domain to clear up a problemì
that has been generated for literally thousands of people who purchasedì
this package from one source or another and currently do not know whereì
they stand.
For those End-Users who are not satisfied with their Version ofì
BusinessMaster II or Visaccount we will exchange your package for theì
new and much improved BusinessMaster II+ for $100. Simply mail yourì
original diskettes (OEM or Visaccount) and license to us. We will putì
the new package on your diskettes with new labels, a new licensingì
agreement and a new manual and return it to you.
For dealers who purchased BusinessMaster II from OEM software, you mayì
continue to do as you wish with the package but we cannot upgrade yourì
package to BusinessMaster II+. However we do offer dealer discounts onì
our newer packages.
We have offered the package to the CP/M Users Group for inclusion inì
their library on the understanding that it may be used in any way,ì
either commercial or non-commercial by anyone who chooses to use itì
provided credit is given for such use.
We will continue to supply BusinessMaster II+ to end-users for $159 andì
Businessmaster Plus with fully-formatted fill in the blanks screen and Bì
Tree Indexing for $289. These packages are compileable with minorì
changes under CB-80.
