SHOPKEEPER PLUS is the result of over two years of programming and
development. It allows a BBS SysOp to sell merchandise and take
orders for patron memberships on-line. It differs from other on-line
shopping doors in that we've attempted to provide a merchandising
program that includes over 3000 products you can sell without needing
to invest anything in stock.
SHOPKEEPER PLUS also supports a suppliers line of very Adult
merchandise for very adult BBSs. Because of the nature of these
items we do not publicly distribute the data base files of these
products. If you are interested in selling this sort of merchandise
please download ADULT01.ZIP from the [P]ersonal files department of
The Praedo BBS. You have access to this section on your first call.
GETTING STARTED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because we've put so much into this we want you to register this
software so we can continue to support this endeavor and develop
new programs and software. We think the best way to sell you on
the SHOPKEEPER PLUS concept is to see it in action. If you don't
feel like reading doc files, just dump the contents of this .ZIP
into a sub-directory. From within the sub-directory type "DEMO"
[Enter], this will create a sample config for your machine. The
SHOPKEEPER PLUS demo will then run automatically. After you type
"DEMO" the first time, there is no need to run it again. If you
want to re-run the demo, type "SHOP". You'll be put into a local
mode of the actual program.
You can stop reading here and experiment with the software, but
please take the time to finish reading this when you're done.
We wanted SHOPKEEPER to be both flexible and powerful. To do this
we designed a configuration file that would allow you to make
SHOPKEEPER into whatever you need. We admit it, it's a bit
complicated, that's why we included the utility "DEMO.EXE", we
were afraid you wouldn't read the docs, but we knew once you saw
it you'd know it's worth the trouble of setting it up.
The shareware concept has made it possible for you to obtain extremely
powerful software at a price you can afford, and it gives you the
opportunity to try the software before you register.
Shareware is kept alive by YOUR support.
Evaluate the program for 30-days and give copies to your friends for
evaluation. If, after the 30 days, you continue to use the program,
then register it by sending us the registration/order form included in
this help file or by calling 800-242-4775 (Orders Only! Tell them you
want part #10840). You will receive the Latest version, Printed manual,
BBS Technical Support, and Reduced price Upgrades.
Thank you for your support,
Ordering Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember that a shareware copy is an EVALUATION copy that you can use
for up to 30 days. If you continue to use the program, Registration
is Required! You may register using the order form in the SHOPKEEP.DOC
file, or by calling our on-line shopping door on The Praedo BBS, 609-
953-0769, [14.4k,N,8,1 - 24 hrs]. and charging your purchase on your
