Card Inventory System/2 Description
-----------------------------------
The Card Inventory System/2 (CIS/2) is an OS/2 application aimed at
assisting users in the protection of the valuable cards that they
typically carry, use, or are otherwise financially or personally
responsible. It does this by providing:
An easy way to record the cards of interest to the user,
A simple procedure for noting where such cards are located, and
An easy and systematic method that can be used in reporting their
loss should one or more cards become lost or stolen,
There are service companies to which a person may subscribe which, for
a fee, will help protect that person's credit cards. Should one or
more of these cards become lost or stolen, the service company will
contact the appropriate companies for the user. The purpose of this
program is to avoid the cost of such a service company, or at a
minimum, supplement this service by giving a user better records about
what cards they have and where these cards are located.
In addition, this program allows the user to more easily keep his
credit card records current, and it can record valuable cards that
cannot be handled by a card protection service company.
CIS/2 will provide essentially the same function as a service company
with the exception that the user must make the telephone call to
report a lost or stolen card.

Before You Install Card Inventory System/2
------------------------------------------

Installing Card Inventory System/2
----------------------------------
If you have received In CIS/2 on a diskette, skip to step 2.
STEP 1: If you have down-loaded or received CIS/2 as a ZIP file,
you will need to use the PKZIP(r) software by Pkware, Inc. To
perform this step, do the following:
A. Obtain a copy PKUNZIP.EXE to unpack the file. This
program is readily available on most BBS's and FTP's
sites.
B. Make the directory containing the CIS2.ZIP file the
default directory. At the OS/2 command prompt, enter the
command:
PKUNZIP CIS2nnna.ZIP
Where "nnna" is a suffix. (This suffix is associated with
the release of CIS/2. The higher suffix being the later
release of the program.)
STEP 2: If installing from diskette, place the distribution
diskette in your diskette drive.
STEP 3: At the OS/2 prompt, enter one of the following:
A. If installing from diskette on drive A, enter:
A:\INSTALL
B. If installing from diskette on drive B, enter:
B:\INSTALL
C. If installing from a fixed disk (for example, the
directory where CIS2nnna.ZIP has been "unzipped"),
enter the full path to the INSTALL.EXE program.
To illustrate, if the CIS/2 package has been placed
in the "TEMP" directory on the "C:" drive, enter:
C:\TEMP\INSTALL
STEP 4: Answer the installation program questions.
STEP 5: When complete, the CIS/2 program icon will appear
on your desktop. (You may move it to any convenient place.)
Double-clicking the program icon will start CIS/2. See the
CIS/2 help introduction, and specifically the section on
"Getting Started," to begin using CIS/2.
Removing Card Inventory System/2
--------------------------------
To remove the installation of CIS/2, do the following:
STEP 1: Run the CIS/2 installation procedure and select:
Delete the installed product and re-install
STEP 2: After the deletion is complete, exit the install
procedure without doing the re-install.
IMPORTANT NOTE: At this point, the delete procedure has
removed the product, but it has not erased the databases.
Therefore, do not not perform the following step if you
plan to re-install CIS/2.
If you do re-install CIS/2, you will need to re-perform
the CIS/2 registration process.
STEP 3: For a permanent removal of CIS/2, including all
the CIS/2 databases, erase all the remaining files in the
CIS/2 directory and deleted the CIS/2 directory.
