- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- EASI-PLAN Pro is a powerful easy-to-use software package which enables
- new and large-sized businesses to prepare fully-integrated and
- comprehensive 5-year financial projections for business plans & budgets,
- raising finance, strategic planning, forecasting, appraisals etc.
-
- It can also be used by professional advisers, consultants, training
- organisations and financial institutions. EASI-PLAN Pro is aimed
- at businesses with annual sales above one million pounds/dollars,
- engaged in manufacturing, distribution or services. Its reports can be
- pre-formatted to suit either a sole trader or limited companies.
-
- Based on a user's forecasts and assumptions, EASI-PLAN compiles
- integrated financial projections (P&Ls, cashflows, balance sheets &
- ratios) for one year ahead on a monthly basis and, in less detail, for
- the next two years on a quarterly basis and the final two years on an
- annual basis. It produces numerous management and financial reports
- together with graphs for many key variables which can be displayed on the
- screen or printed. It also produces reports detailing all the underlying
- assumptions.
-
- EASI-PLAN incorporates facilities for graphing key results; undertaking
- "what-if" analyses; preparing "first-cut" projections; generating a
- textual summary report; doing selective & global sensitivity analysis;
- drilling down to underlying assumptions; exporting model to spreadsheet;
- rolling forward projections one month at a time; linking into spreadsheet
- data; comparing monthly actuals with projected; special function keys for
- rapid data entry; accruing expenses etc.
-
- EASI-PLAN is very suitable for users with limited or no prior experience
- of computers or financial planning as well as for very experienced users
- who do not wish to go to the very considerable trouble, or waste valuable
- time, developing their own planning system on a spreadsheet.
-
- Other versions, called EASI-PLAN Micro and Lite, for smaller businesses
- are also available. Their file names are EASIM*.ZIP and EASIL*.ZIP.
-
- EASI-PLAN is very friendly and menu-driven with extensive "on-line"
- context-sensitive help.
-
- EASI-PLAN is an internationally useful product. The layout of its
- reports and accounts are based on UK conventions. Its currency symbol can
- be altered by a user.
-
- The supplied software is 'shareware'. In return for registering, a user
- receives the latest fully-operational version of EASI-PLAN with a 190+
- page A5 spiral-bound printed manual (incorporating extensive tutorial
- exercises etc.) and full support. Further details are contained in the
- text files README.TXT and REGISTER.TXT.
-
- To access a text file, you can use the EDIT utility supplied with DOS or
- the NOTEPAD accessory supplied with Windows.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- EASI-PLAN can be installed and run via Windows (recommended) or DOS.
-
- Via Windows:
- -----------
- a) Unzip the supplied archive file "EASI*.ZIP" (most probably you have
- already done this if you are reading this message).
- b) Move all the extracted files into a new sub-directory (EASIP3 is
- the recommended name).
- c) Use Program or File Manager ("File | Run") to run "Easiplan.exe".
- This installation program will extract files, create a new Program
- Group, and set up icons for EASI-PLAN and its text files within this
- Group.
- d) Switch to the EASI-PLAN Program Group, click on the "Try Easi-Plan"
- icon and away you go..
-
- Via DOS:
- -------
- a) Unzip the supplied archive file "EASI*.ZIP" (most probably you have
- already done this if you are reading this message).
- b) Move all the extracted files into a new sub-directory (EASIP3 is
- the recommended name).
- c) Unzip a further file called "EASIPLAN.EXE" which will be located
- within the EASIP3 sub-directory. Note that this is another archive
- file and is NOT an executable - if you try to run it directly from DOS
- as an executable you will get an error message.
- d) Run an introductory program called GO.BAT by typing "GO". This will
- lead you into EASI-PLAN. If your PC uses a very old display, do not
- select this option - choose e) below.
-
- *or*
-
- e) Type "EP MASTER" to load EASI-PLAN along with a set of specimen
- assumptions in a file called MASTER.ASS.
