- MEMBER - ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS
-
- The author of this program is a member of ASP and has agreed to
- comply with its standards:
-
- Programming standards:
-
- * The program meets ASP's definition of Shareware.
-
-
- * The program has been thoroughly tested by the author and
- should not be harmful to other files or hardware if used
- properly (although ASP cannot warrant this; therefore, the
- user should take normal precautions in trying new
- software).
-
- Documentation standards:
-
- * The program author will respond as described in the
- documentation to people who send registration payments.
- At a minimum, the author will send an acknowledgment of
- payment.
-
- * The author will respond to written bug reports from
- registered users when the user provides a self-addressed,
- stamped envelope (some authors will respond by phone, but
- this is not an ASP requirement).
-
- * Incompatibilities with other software or hardware, major
- or unusual program limitations, or known problems are
- noted in the documentation that comes with the shareware
- version of the program. Sufficient documentation is
- provided to allow the average user to try all major
- functions of the program.
-
- * The program author has explained the Shareware concept in
- a professional and positive manner.
-
- Support standards:
-
- * The program author will respond as described in the
- documentation to people who send registration payments.
- At a minimum, the author will send an acknowledgment of
- payment.
-
- * The author will respond to written bug reports from
- registered users when the user provides a self-addressed,
- stamped envelope (some authors will respond by phone, but
- this is not an ASP requirement).
-
- * Incompatibilities with other software or hardware, major
- or unusual program limitations, or known problems are
- noted in the documentation that comes with the shareware
- version of the program.
-
- General:
-
- * The author keeps his/her membership in ASP current.
-
- * The author recognizes that any user may appeal to ASP for
- any unresolved dispute that arises.
-
-
- If you feel that the author has not complied with these standards
- in some manner or if you register the program with the author and
- subsequently have any disputes with the author which cannot be
- resolved, please write the ASP at:
-
-
- Association of Shareware Professionals
- 545 Grover Road
- Muskegon, MI 49442
-
-
- While ASP cannot warrant programs nor the actions of members, ASP
- will do what it can to assure that all authors who claim
- membership comply with ASP standards. These standards are the
- assurance of quality and support that you will get when you
- register Shareware produced by ASP members.
-
- SHAREWARE
-
-
- To promote better understanding of the shareware concept, ASP has
- developed the following official definition of shareware:
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
- differ on details -- some request registration while others
- require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
- using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
- and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
- Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.

- INTRODUCTION Page 1-1
-
- INTRODUCTION TO ZPAY 3
-
- Congratulations! you have the most powerful and easy to use payroll
- system available for the IBM-PC/XT/AT family of computers. It is
- our sincere wish that ZPAY 3 will fulfill your expectations and give
- you the same enjoyment of using it as it has for us in developing it.
-
- FEATURES OF ZPAY 3
-
- User-Friendly
- ZPAY 3 has been made as user-friendly as possible by utilizing simple
- menus along with use of the [F1] and [F2] function keys for on-screen
- help. At the touch of a key, help windows will appear to guide you
- along your way. By using the help windows, we have eliminated the
- possibilities of your entering incorrect data that could cause problems
- in your system. If you were to enter erroneous data, a window will
- appear to show you the possible entries that would be acceptable. This
- makes the system as easy to use as possible.
-
- Menu Selections
- ZPAY 3 uses simple menus for you to select the operations you want
- to perform. Menu selections can be made by using the keyboard or a
- mouse.
-
- Mouse Support
- ZPAY 3 supports the use of a mouse for menu selections.
-
- Keyboard Control
- ZPAY 3 utilizes full IBM keyboard control for editing. If you were to
- make a spelling error, or change your mind on an entry, you can
- quickly change it. Full edit capabilities are provided using arrow keys,
- insert, delete character and delete fields.
-
- Built-In Tax Tables and Table Editor
- ZPAY 3 has a built-in tax table editor so you may change your own
- tax tables when necessary. With this feature there will be no costly
- updates required, and it will be unnecessary to hire a programmer to
- change any of the tables for you. The employee data base is a
- valuable asset in itself since it contains much more than just the
- employee payroll information, and it can be used for printing labels for
- mailing and other functions.
-
- Built-In Sample Payroll
- ZPAY 3 has a built-in sample payroll you can use to practice with or
- test drive without using your own payroll files.
-
- Simple To Operate - Not Complicated
- ZPAY 3 is for those who do not really need the complications of a
- system that must be integrated with a general ledger system.
-
- Stand Alone System
- ZPAY 3 is a "stand alone system" with easy to read reports, simple to
- use menu driven functions, and on-line help to guide you along your
- way.
-
- INTRODUCTION Page 1-2
-
- Control Over Your Payroll
- ZPAY 3 is designed for those who use a professional accountant to
- handle their numbers, but who would like to have control over their
- own payroll.
-
- No Accounting Experience Required
- ZPAY 3 does not require that you have any accounting experience or
- specialized training to use it.
-
- Anyone Can Use It
- ZPAY 3 is easy to use for the executive, manager, or designated
- employee.
-
- Incorporates Our User's Suggestions
- ZPAY 3 is a complete re-write of our popular predecessor payroll
- systems "ZPAY" and "ZPAYII", incorporating the many useful and
- valuable suggestions of our users.
-
- More Efficient
- ZPAY 3 is the result of many years developing a payroll system that is
- faster, easier to use, and more efficient than those that have been
- available for the IBM-PC/XT/AT family of computers.
-
- No Special Accessories
- Besides the required hardware and operating system, nothing else is
- needed to run ZPAY 3.
-
- Different Pay Periods
- ZPAY 3 will handle different pay periods by your selection.
-
- Different Pay Scales
- ZPAY 3 will handle salaried, hourly, commissioned, and salary plus
- commission employees.
-
- Non-Employees
- ZPAY 3 will allow you to pay non-employee compensation for "non-
- standard workers" or "outside individual contractors" which handle
- their own tax deductions. You can print checks for them, track their
- pay, and print 1099 forms at the end of the year.
-
- Two Overtime Rates
- ZPAY 3 will allow you to have two overtime rates, such as time-and-
- a-half and double-time rates.
-
- Bonuses
- ZPAY 3 allows you to pay bonuses and track them on records.
-
- Six Additional Pay Deductions
- ZPAY 3 will handle six additional pay deductions in addition to the
- normal federal taxes, FICA taxes, state taxes, local taxes, and SDI type
- taxes.
-
- Cost Accounting
- ZPAY 3 does cost accounting for you.
-
- INTRODUCTION Page 1-3
-
- Title Assignments
- ZPAY 3 allows title assignments for up to ten different department
- accounts.
-
- Payroll Computations
- ZPAY 3 computes the payroll and prints many different reports,
- including the pay period, month-to-date, quarter-to-date, as well as
- year-to-date figures.
-
- Tax Reports
- ZPAY 3 will generate reports containing FUTA and SDI information.
-
- Prints Checks
- ZPAY 3 will print paychecks with stub information similar to the
- payroll reports. The check format is a general purpose check available
- from many computer forms sources.
-
- Automatically Posts Periods
- ZPAY 3 automatically posts pay period information so you won't have
- to remember when each month or quarter starts.
-
- Data File Security
- ZPAY 3 uses an encrypted data file format that cannot reveal its data
- except by using ZPAY 3.
-
- Password Protection Security
- ZPAY 3 has three levels of password protection to keep prying eyes
- and fingers from confidential information.
-
- Limited Only By Disk Space
- The limit of the number of employees is limited only by the amount of
- disk space you have on your computer system.
-
- Fast Access OF Data
- ZPAY 3 uses a data access method called Turbo ISAM with B-Tree
- indexing, allowing it to find a record in a file of over 32,000 in under
- two seconds!
-
- Different Companies On The Same Disk
- ZPAY 3 allows you to select which file you want to be working with,
- without getting out of ZPAY 3. This includes support of paths and
- directories as well.
-
- Prints End Of The Year Forms
- ZPAY 3 will print the W-2 forms and 1099-MISC forms in addition to
- the Year-End Payroll information reports.
-
- Makes A Back Up Of Your Payroll
- ZPAY 3 provides an easy way to back up your payroll data to floppy
- disk for security storage. The data is compressed onto the floppy disk
- using the auxiliary archiving program "LHarc". ZPAY also uses it to
- un-compress backed-up files and restore them back on your hard disk.
-
- Files backed-up by the LHarc program are compressed to less than half
- their original size. A payroll file of 500 employees will compress to a
- back-up file of approximately 75 K-bytes.
-
- INTRODUCTION Page 1-4
-
- LHARC Archiving Program Built-In
- You can use this LHarc program to archive and compress any files on
- your computer, not just those in ZPAY 3. From the DOS command
- line, you can type "LHarc" and press the [Enter] key. The screen will
- display the parameters for using this program outside ZPAY 3.
-
- Change Colors To Suit
- If your computer has a color graphics driver and monitor, you can
- change the colors of ZPAY 3 to suit your tastes. From the DOS
- command screen, enter: CHGCOLOR and press the [Enter] key. Follow
- the prompts on the screen to select the colors you want.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- Computer
- IBM-PC, IBM-XT, IBM-AT, or truly compatible computer.
-
- Disk Drives
- One hard disk drive and one floppy disk drive.
-
- Memory (RAM)
- A minimum of 375 K (kilobytes) of free memory is necessary.
- Extended or expanded memory will enhance program operation by
- allowing the overlay files to be loaded into it.

- ABOUT THIS MANUAL
-
- Since we designed ZPAY 3 to be as easy to use as possible, we have
- also designed this manual to be the same. You should not have to
- read the entire manual before you start.
-
- If you are like us, you want to jump right in and start using the
- program. You may not open the manual except to read about the
- program's features in the introduction and find out how to install the
- program.
-
- Also, because of publishing deadlines, there may be some late-breaking
- information about the program that could not be included in this
- manual at the time of printing. Look on the ZPAY 3 distribution disks
- to see if there are any files named "READ ME". If so, you can print
- it for any new information not contained in this manual.
-
- We have designed this manual to be used as a reference.
-
- First-Time Users of ZPAY Systems
- If you are a first-time user of ZPAY payroll systems, we recommend
- you read these sections:
- * READ ME file on the ZPAY
- 3 distribution disk (if one is
- there).
- * Installing ZPAY 3.
- * Test Drive.
- * Starting A New Payroll
- * Menus
- * Appendix A - Tax Tables
- * Appendix B - Data Files
-
-
- Experienced Users of ZPAY Systems

- This is the minimum password level. The person with this
- password can only access the "Main Control Menu" (and its Utility
- selections), and the "Payroll Reporting Menu" (and all its
- selections). This password allows checks, reports, lists, etc. to be
- printed.
-
- This password level cannot access the "Payroll Entry Menu" nor
- the "Data Edit Menu", since they contain confidential pay
- information about the employees.
-
- * Password Level 2
- This is the next higher password level. The person with this
- password can access the "Payroll Entry Menu" as well as the
- accesses of Password Level 1. This password allows pay
- information to be entered for the employees, but does not allow
- access to employer or employee records.
-
- This password level cannot access the "Data Edit Menu".
-
- * Password Level 3
- This is the master password level. The person with this password
- can access all menus, including the "Data Edit Menu".
-
- It is very important that you assign the three passwords to be different
- from each other. If any two, or all three, were the same, and the first
- level password were detected on an entry to the second or third level,
- you would not be allowed access.
-
- You can change the passwords at any time by selecting from the Main
- Control Menu, Utility, Password, and enter the code LAUPREYAM.

-
- INSTALLING ZPAY 3
-
- Copy the Distribution Disks
-
- Copy your ZPAY 3 distribution disks to make back-up copies to use for
- installation. Do not use your original ZPAY 3 distribution disks for
- installation. Use the copies and store the original disks in a safe
- place.
-
- * If you are familiar with the procedure to copy disks, you can skip to
- the installation procedure.
-
- Have ready two double-sided double-density (DS-DD) blank floppy disks
- formatted with the DOS format. Label one "ZPAY 3 - Disk 1" and the
- other "ZPAY 3 - Disk 2".
-
- * The blank formatted disks must be the same type as your ZPAY 3
- distribution disks, either 5-1/4 inch or 3-1/2 inch disks.
-
- Place a write-protect sticker over the notch on the side of your original
- ZPAY 3 distribution disks to prevent any existing files from being
- accidentally changed or erased. Use your computer's "DISKCOPY"
- command to copy each disk:
-
- Type "DISKCOPY A: A:" and press the [Enter] key. Follow the
- prompts on the screen to copy the disks:
-
- * The "source" disk is your original ZPAY 3 distribution disk, which
- you applied the write-protect sticker. This is the disk you copy from.
-
- * The "target" disk is your blank formatted disk. It is the disk you
- copy to.
-
- You will copy "Source" Disk 1 to "Target" Disk 1.
-
- You will copy "Source" Disk 2 to "Target" Disk 2.
-
- When you have made copies of both ZPAY 3 distribution disks, store
- them in a cool, dry place. Use the copies for the installation.
-
- INSTALLATION Page 2-2
-
-
- Installation
-
- Before you can use ZPAY 3 you have to use the "install" program it so
- it will work properly on your computer.
-
- Place your copy of ZPAY 3 "Disk 1" in your floppy drive "A".
-
- Type "A:INSTALL" and press the [Enter] key.
-
- The ZPAY 3 installation program will do several things that are necessary
- for proper operation of the ZPAY 3 Payroll System:
-
- * It will create a directory named "ZPAY3" on your hard disk. You will
- be given the opportunity to use a different disk drive designation or
- directory name, or accept the one it suggests.
-
- * It will create and place the necessary program files onto your ZPAY
- 3 directory.
-
- * It will examine to see if you have a "CONFIG.SYS" file on your root
- directory.
-
- - If one does not exist, it will create one containing these statements
- which are required for ZPAY 3 to operate properly:
- FILES = 16
- BUFFERS = 20
-
- - If one does exist, it will examine it for a sufficient amount of
- "FILES" and "BUFFERS":
- FILES = 16
- BUFFERS = 20
- If it finds files and buffers amounts greater than those, it will
- leave them unchanged.
-
- * It will notify you when the installation is completed.
-
- INSTALLATION Page 2-3
-
- First Start of ZPAY 3
-
- From the DOS command line prompt on your screen, change to the
- ZPAY3 directory by typing:
-
- "CD\ZPAY3" (or CD\ and the name of your ZPAY 3 directory)
-
- You can start the ZPAY 3 program from this directory by typing:
-
- "ZPAY3" and press the [Enter] key.
-
- When this is the first time you are starting ZPAY 3, you will be
- requested for the password. This first time only type:
-
- "LAUPREYAM" and press the [Enter] key.
-
- It will ask if you want to change the password. This is your first
- opportunity to establish different levels of password security.
-
- It is very important that you assign the three passwords to be different
- from each other. If any two, or all three, were the same, and the first
- level password were detected on an entry to the second or third level,
- you would not be allowed access.
-
- You can change the passwords at any time by selecting from the Main
- Control Menu, Utility, Password, and enter the code LAUPREYAM.
-
- Type "Y" (for yes).
-
- It will ask you to enter a different password for each of three levels.
-
- Enter Password for level 1 ______
-
- This is the minimum password level. The person with this password can
- only access the "Main Control Menu" (and its Utility selections), and the
- "Payroll Reporting Menu" (and all its selections). This password allows
- checks, reports, lists, etc. to be printed.
-
- INSTALLATION Page 2-4
-

- the [Enter] key. You will be asked to enter the password for the next
- level:
-
- Enter Password for level 2 ______
-
- This is the next higher password level. The person with this password
- can access the "Payroll Entry Menu" as well as the accesses of Password
- Level 1. This password allows pay information to be entered for the
- employees, but does not allow access to employer or employee records.
-
- This password level cannot access the "Data Edit Menu".
-
- Type the password you want for access to this level of ZPAY 3, and press
- the [Enter] key. You will be asked to enter the password for the next
- level:
-
- Enter Password for level 3 ______
-
- This is the master password level. The person with this password can
- access all menus, including the "Data Edit Menu".
-
- Type the password you want for access to this level of ZPAY 3, and
- press the [Enter] key.
-
- You will then be shown the current date and asked if it is correct. This
- date is to be the payroll period cut-off date so that printed reports
- will reflect the proper pay periods.
-
- Enter the date in the format: MM/DD/YY.
-
- MM = Two digit designation for the month.
- DD = Two digit designation for the day of the month.
- YY = Two digit designation for the year.

-
- Employee
- This is where you enter new employees' number, name, exemptions,
- hours, etc.
-
- Employee Numbers
-
- Here are some tips about assigning employee numbers for your
- payroll:
-
- * Department Employee Number Series
-
- You can use employee numbers to designate the department
- that each employee belongs. Give each of your departments
- a number series containing enough digits to include the largest
- number of employees in any department. Example:
-
- 100 through 199 = Administration Dept.
- 200 through 299 = Accounting Dept.
- 300 through 399 = Engineering Dept.
- 400 through 499 = Manufacturing Dept.
- 500 through 599 = Warehouse Dept.
-
- When you print checks, reports, etc. you can print them in
- groups by department. Just enter the employee's number for
- the "First Record" to "Start printing with:" and the employee's
- number for the "Last Record" to "End printing with:" for the
- employees in a specific department. Repeat the same
- procedure for the employees in the next department, ...and so
- on.
-
- MENUS Page 3-9
-
- * Consecutive Employee Number Series
-
- If you do not use the department employee number series, but
- instead use a consecutive employee number series, then you
- must use zeros in front of the numbers with less digits than
- the largest number.
-
- Use zeros in front of your employee numbers so that all the
- employee numbers for the entire payroll contain the same
- quantity of digits. Example:
-
- If you start your numbering consecutively from "one" enter
- the numbers in this manner: "001, 002, 003, 004, 005", etc.
- through "023". The numbers will be sorted in the same order:
-
- 001
- 002
- 003
- 004
- 005
- 006
- 007
- 008
- 009
- 010
- 011
- 012
- 013
- 014
- 015
- 016
- 017
- 018
- 019
- 020
- 021
- 022
- 023
-
- MENUS Page 3-10
-
- However, if you start your numbering consecutively from
- "one" and you were to enter the numbers in this manner: "1,
- 2, 3, 4, 5", etc. through "23", the numbers will be sorted in
- this order:
-
- 1
- 10
- 11
- 12
- 13
- 14
- 15
- 16
- 17
- 18
- 19
- 2
- 20
- 21
- 22
- 23
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
-
- So, be sure to use the "0" prefixes if you use consecutive
- numbering to make the sorting useful.

- This Payroll Reporting Menu gives you a very flexible way of printing
- your reports, checks, W-2's, etc. When you make a selection for
- printing, you will be prompted on the screen for the record you want to
- start printing with and the last record you want to end printing with:
-
- Start printing with: First Record
-
- End printing with: Last Record
-
- ZPAY 3 defaults to start printing with the first record in your selected
- file and to end printing with the last record in your selected file.
- However, ZPAY 3 gives you the flexibility to start and end the printing
- with specific records if you want.
-
- * If the paper were to run out in your printer, or get torn, you can
- resume printing with the next record in line when the printer paper
- is restored.
-
- All you have to do is over-type the name (or number) of the next
- record in line for "Start printing with:". You can leave the "End
- printing with:" to be "Last Record" to continue printing to the end of
- the records.
-
- * If you want to begin a printing session with a selected range of
- records, just over-type the beginning and ending record name (or
- number).
-
- MENUS Page 3-14
-
- ZPAY 3 also provides for printing with different types of printers. It
- will prompt you for a reply about the printer type you are using:
-
- Are you using a LaserJet or compatible printer? (Y/N)
-
- * Type "Y" (for Yes) and press [Enter] if you are going to use a
- LaserJet or compatible laser printer.
-
- * Type "N" (for No) and press [Enter] if you are going to use a dot-
- matrix, daisy wheel, or any non-laser printer.
-
- "Init string" codes are displayed to allow you to change the printing
- characteristics if you want. The default codes should apply in most
- cases. If you are not familiar with the codes your printer uses, it would
- be best to leave the default codes as they are.
-
- Init string:
-
- * These are the default initializing codes for Epson dot-matrix printers
- (non-laser printers). This "init" code selects compressed print for
- the printer.
-
- The codes for laser printers are built-in to ZPAY 3 and are not
- displayed.
-
- Exit string:
-
- * These are the corresponding default exit codes for Epson dot-matrix
- printers. This "exit" code returns the printer to 10 characters per
- inch (cpi) printing.
-
- As for the "init" codes, the ones for laser printers are not
- displayed.
-
- ZPAY 3 will also ask you to select the order you want your records
- printed, by name or by number.
-
- * Enter "N" if you want your records printed in order of last names.
-
- * Enter "C" if you want your records printed in order of code numbers.
-

- TEST DRIVE
-
- We have included a sample payroll file that you can use to "test drive"
- ZPAY 3 to get a feel of how it works. You can look it over, kick the
- tires, and actually drive it without using your actual payroll data.
- Sample information has already been entered, except for the addition of
- one employee ... you. You will have the opportunity to see operation
- with existing data, and also you can interact and add data yourself!
-
- There are certain things that you must already have done before you can
- run this test drive:
-
- * Completed the installation.
-
- * Established your three levels of passwords.
-
- During this test drive you will see how to do these things to run a
- payroll for your company:
-
- * Start ZPAY 3 (Page 4-2)
-
- * Enter your level password (Page 4-2)
-
- * Select a payroll file name (Page 4-3)
-
- * Review the tax tables (Page 4-4)
-
- * Review the data files (Page 4-8)
-
- * Enter a new employee (Page 4-12)
-
- * Enter payroll period data (Page 4-16)
-
- * Print the paychecks (Page 4-25)
-
- * Print a payroll report (Page 4-29)
-
- * Save and copy the payroll (Page 4-31)
-
- TEST DRIVE Page 4-2
-
- OK! Test Drive ZPAY 3!
-
- * Start ZPAY 3
-
- When you have the DOS command line prompt on your screen, and
- have changed to the ZPAY3 directory, you can start the ZPAY 3
- program by typing:
-
- ZPAY3 and press the [Enter] key.
-
- Refer to the Getting Started section in this manual and your
- computer's DOS operation manual for more information about
- prompts, commands, and directories.
-
- * Enter Your Level Password
-
- For this test drive you will need the highest level password, Level 3,
- because you will be going into the restricted areas of ZPAY 3. So,
- enter your Level 3 Password and press the [Enter] key.
-
- * Enter the Payroll Cut-Off Date
-
- After you enter your password, ZPAY 3 displays a date on the screen
- and asks you if this is correct. The date asked about is the cut-off
- date of your payroll.
-
- For this test drive, enter the date that is the last day of this
- month.
-
- Just type the date in the format "MM/DD/YY" (Month/Day/Year as two
- digits, such as: 01/01/90 for January 1, 1990) and press the [Enter]
- key. Type the letter "Y" (for Yes) where it asks if that date is
- correct.

- was previously entered through the Data Edit Menu.
-
- Press [Page Down] to move to the right hand window. Notice

-
- Calculator Functions
-
- Window
- The window displays the numbers you enter and the results of
- calculations. Numbers displayed in the calculator's window can be
- transferred ("pasted") to the ZPAY 3 entry on which the cursor is
- residing.
-
- Key Pad
- The key pad functions the same as that on a hand-held calculator.
- However, a few of the keys on the key pad use symbols that correspond to
- characters found on your computer's keyboard. The key for multiplication
- is the asterisk [*] character (instead of "x") and division is the
- forward slash [/] character (instead of "÷").
-
- Number Keys - 0 through 9
- Use these keys on your computer's keyboard to enter numbers. You can
- use the number keys located above the alphabet keys, or the keypad
- number keys if your computer is equipped with them. As you press each
- number key, that number is displayed to the right of the previous number
- in the calculator's window.
-
- Example:
- When you type the number 5, then 2, then 7, (for the number 527) the
- window displays:
-
- ----------------------------
- | |
- | ------------------------ |
- | | 527 | |
- | ------------------------ |
- | |
-
- This number will remain displayed until you type another number, clear
- the entry or display, or continue with some math function such as add,
- subtract, multiply, or divide.
-
- APPENDIX C Page C-4
-
- The Decimal [.] Character
- The period is the decimal character. Use it to place a decimal in your
- numbers.
-
- Example: To enter 25.4 in the calculator:
-
- Type 2, 5, the decimal character [.], then 4. The calculator's window
- displays "25.4".
-
-
- The Equal [=] Character
- The equal is the equal character. Use it after you have entered a math
- function ([+], [-], [*], [/]) and its number to get the math function
- result.
-
-
- The Division [/] Math Function Character
- The forward slash is the division character. Use it after the number you
- want to be divided.
-
- Example: To take 27 and divide it by 3:
-
- Type 27, press the divide character [/], then type the number to divide
- by, 3. When you press [=] (or [Enter]) the result "9" will be displayed
- in the calculator's window.
-
-
- The Multiplication [*] Math Function Character
- The asterisk is the multiplication character. Type it after the number
- you want to be multiplied.
-
- Example: To multiply 25 by 4:
-
- Type 25, press the multiplication character [*], then type the number to
- multiply it, 4. When you press the equals character [=] (or [Enter]) the
- result "100" will be displayed in the calculator's window.
-
- APPENDIX C Page C-5
-
- The Subtraction [-] Math Function Character

-
- The Addition [+] Math Function Character
- The plus is the addition character. Type it after the number you want to
- be added by another number.
-
- Example: To take 25 and add 5 to it:
-
- Type 25, press the addition character [+], then type the number to add,
- 5. When you press the equals character [=] (or [Enter]) the result
- "30" will be displayed in the calculator's window.
-
-
- The Clear [C] Character
- The [C] character (either upper or lower case) is the clear key. Use it
- to clear the calculator of any previous numbers or functions. It will
- erase all previous and existing numbers and functions and reset the
- calculator to zero "0".
-
- Example: To clear previous calculations and the existing display:
-
- Press the clear character [C]. The existing numbers in the display are
- erased and the display is changed to zero "0".
-
- APPENDIX C Page C-6
-
- The Clear Entry [E] Character
- The [E] character (either upper or lower case) is the clear entry key.
- Use it to clear only the existing entry and continue with an existing
- math function. All previous entries of a math function before this one
- are retained.
-
- Example: To clear an erroneous entry in a math function "5 + 2":
-
- Press 5, then 2 (but you press "3" instead of "2"), then press [E]. The
- "3" is erased, then press "2", and continue with [=] for the result "7".
-
-
- The Percent [%] Character
- The [%] character is the percent key. Use it to calculate a percentage
- of a previously entered number.
-
- Example: To calculate 30% of 200:
-
- Type 200, type the multiplication character [*], then type 30, then press
- the [%] key. The result "60" will be displayed in the calculator's
- window.
-
-
- APPENDIX C Page C-7
-
- The [<-] and [->] Arrow Keys (Move Calculator)
- The right and left arrow cursor keys will move the calculator across the
- screen. Use them to move the calculator to one side or the other to be
- able to see any part of your ZPAY 3 screen that may have been covered
- by the calculator.

-
- The Escape [Esc] Key
- The [Esc] key is the "quit" key. Use it to quit using the calculator and
- return to the ZPAY 3 edit screen. You can quit using the calculator at
- any time by pressing [Esc]. However, if you have not cleared the
- calculator's display first by pressing [C], the next time you pop-up the
- calculator (in the same ZPAY 3 session) it will have the last figures
- displayed in its window. When you exit out of ZPAY 3 to DOS, the
- calculator will be automatically reset to zero "0" the next time you
- start up ZPAY 3 and use the calculator.
-
-
- The Paste Key [F10]
- The [F10] key will transfer (paste) the numbers currently displayed in
- the calculator's window to the entry field in your ZPAY edit screen. You
- can use it to transfer any calculations to an edit or pay screen field.
- The field will be the field your cursor resided when you popped up the
- calculator.
-
- Example: We can use the example from the Test Drive for calculating
- a commission for an employee's pay.
-
- Display the "Pay" edit screen. Move the cursor to the "Commission
- Paid" entry field.
-
- Press [F3] to pop up the calculator on the screen. In this example,
- let's say this employee has $15,000.00 in sales, and gets a commission of
- 4%.
-
- In the calculator, enter "15000", press the multiplication character [*]
- and then enter "4", press the percent character [%] for the result. You
- will see a result of "600" in the calculator window.
-
- Now all you have to do to paste this answer in the "Commission Paid"
- entry (the field where your cursor resides) is to press the paste key
- [F10]. The calculator disappears and 600 dollars will be transferred to
- the "Commission Paid" field.
-
- When the calculator disappeared, it had not been cleared. So be sure to
- clear the calculator if you pop it up again during this ZPAY 3 session.

- LHarc
-
- Archiving Program
-
-
-
- APPENDIX E Page E-2
-
- LHarc
-
- Unlike ZPAY 3 which is a program that requires payment, LHarc is a
- "public domain" program that anyone may copy and use without any
- payment. The author has magnanimously placed this program in the
- public domain for others to use.
-
- You don't have to do anything special to use the LHarc file compression
- while you are using ZPAY 3. ZPAY 3 utilizes LHarc in a way that is
- transparent to the ZPAY 3 user. You just select the back-up option from
- the ZPAY 3 menu, and ZPAY 3 operates LHarc without your having to
- do anything else.
-
- However, LHarc is a useful tool for compressing files even when you are
- not using ZPAY 3. You do not have to use ZPAY 3 to be able to use
- LHarc. You will need to have a working knowledge of your computer's
- DOS command usage and how to navigate among different drives and
- directories of your computer.
-
- You can copy the LHarc program file to any disk or directory you want.
- Refer to your computer's DOS manual for the procedure to copy a file
- from one place to another.
-
-
- LHarc Manual On-Disk
-
- There is a file named "LHARC.MAN" included with your ZPAY 3
- program files. This file is an on-disk manual for the LHarc program. It
- was written by the author of LHarc. It contains in-depth explanations of
- all the ways you can use LHarc externally of ZPAY 3.
-
- For your convenience, on the next few pages we have included a few
- abbreviated examples of a couple of the most popular uses of LHarc.
-
- These examples are not intended to replace the on-disk manual for
- LHarc, but are intended just to give you a head start in using it.
-
-
- APPENDIX E Page E-3
-
- How To Use LHarc
-
- LHarc uses the DOS command line with a variety of operating functional
- switches.
-
- If you just type "LHARC" and press [Enter], a help screen will be
- displayed with descriptions of the various command line switches.
-
- Here is a representation of the help screen displayed by LHarc:
