INTRODUCTION
============
Your willingness to evaluate CMTS is greatly appreciated. You will soon
discover why CMTS has become one of the leading church management packages
available. This software is marketed as shareware, however it compares
favorably with commercial("retail") church systems often selling for several
thousand dollars. It is marketed entirely on the honor system, and
furthermore, you register only those modules you wish to use.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
===================
The software requires a DOS compatible computer with a minimum of 640K
memory running DOS version 3.0 or higher and a hard drive. A minimum
of 5 MEG of free disk space is required to install the system.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=========================
In some instances, you are receiving CMTS as three self-extracting
files, CMTS33A.EXE, CMTS33B.EXE and CMTS33C.EXE. In other instances, the
software is distributed as CMTS33A.ZIP, CMTS33B.ZIP, and CMTS33C.ZIP. If you
experience any difficulty in installing this software, do not hesitate
to call for help. We will be glad to assist you.
IF THE SOFTWARE IS IN SELF-EXTRACTING EXE FORMAT
================================================
Place the disk (or disk 1 if multiple disks) into the drive and type
A:INSTALL or B:INSTALL as appropriate. The installation is automatic.
IF THE SOFTWARE IS IN ZIP FORMAT
================================
If the software is in a ZIP format, do the following:
1. Create a directory called CMTS33.
Example: MD \CMTS33 Press <ENTER>
2. Make that your active directory.
Example: CD \CMTS33 Press <ENTER>
3. Copy the three CMTS zip files to the directory and then unzip them.
PKUNZIP CMTS33A Press <ENTER>
PKUNZIP CMTS33B Press <ENTER>
PKUNZIP CMTS33C Press <ENTER>
CREATING SAMPLE DATA FILES
==========================
Before CMTS can be run, data files must be created. The program FILECRE.EXE
will create sample data files to assis in quickly evaluating the look and
feel of the software. This same program must be run again to create live
data files prior to actual implementation. SEE CHAPTER 11 OF THE USER'S
MANUAL for details of live implementation.
Example: FILECRE Press <ENTER>
IMPORTANT: Insure that your CONFIG.SYS file contains values at least
as great as "FILES = 50" (or greater). Failure to do this
will result in the DOS "Too many open files" error. In case
of difficulty installing this software, please give us a
call at (804) 488-5506. We will be glad to assist you.
RUNNING THE PROGRAMN
Once the software is intalled and sample data files are built, run the
the program by executing CMTS.
Example: CD \CMTS33 Press <ENTER>
CMTS Press <ENTER>
LIVE IMPLEMENTATION
===================
After evaluating the software using the sample data files, empty files
must be created using FILECRE.EXE. Read chapter 11 of the manual on
Live Implementation for more information prior to going live.
IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED USER UPGRADING FROM AN EARLIER VERSION OF CMTS
======================================================================
Many of the file layouts have changed from earlier versions of the
software. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, follow the
upgrade instructions enclosed with your registered package and run
the conversion program specific to the version you are converting from.
In no instance, is it necessary to re-enter any information.
