             Reference Manual For StatMaster Shareware Version 2.1

    This document is an alphabetical reference guide for State Versions of
 StatMaster Desktop Demographics.  Although you probably won't need any docu-
 mentation to run StatMaster, you may wish to refer to this document for de-
 tailed information about specific features.  If you wish to print a hard copy
 of this document, you may start your word processor program, retrieve this
 file (called REFERENC.DOC), then print it out on your printer.  If you pre-
 fer, you may print this text by making certain your printer is on and ready,
 typing "COPY REFERENC.DOC PRN", then pressing the Enter key.

 Automatic Multi-Level Sort
 All statistics are sorted "on the fly" just before they are displayed onto the
 screen.  Here's how it works: the program sorts all the data in the first
 column the way you specify--say "high-to-low." The program locates all the
 values in the first column that are identical and sorts them by the values in
 their second columns.  Then the program searches for data items that have
 identical values in their first and second columns.  When it finds them it
 sorts them by their values in their third columns.  This procedure continues
 across every selected statistic.  It happens automatically every time you
 conduct a Query.

 Automatic Statistic Queuing
 All statistics for all searches are automatically displayed in the same
 sequence you select them in.  This fact, coupled with StatMaster's automatic
 multi-level sort, guarantees that the data you are most interested in will
 always be conveniently placed as close as possible to the upper left-hand
 corner of the first screen.

 Census Bureau Data
 The information in the shareware version of StatMaster comes from the 1988
 County and City Data Book which is published by the Bureau of the Census every
 five years.  This is the latest edition of this data; the next edition will be
 released in 1993.  By July 15, 1991, the Bureau of the Census will validate
 the first of the 1990 Census Data.  This data is called "PL 94-171" data and
 it contains 1990 population and housing statistics.  This data will be incor-
 porated into the retail version of StatMaster.  If you decide to register
 StatMaster, you will receive this new 1990 Census Data.

 Columnar Format
 This is one of the two formats StatMaster supports when exporting (copying)
 data files from the program.  (Export capability is a new feature that is
 available on the registered version of StatMaster.)  Columnar format retains
 the tabular format you see on the data displays in StatMaster.  Select this
 format when you wish to merge the file  into a document you are preparing with
 a word processor.  You'll export a file that is up to 250 characters wide.
 Anything beyond 250 characters on a single line will be truncated.  Be sure to
 set your word processor's margins wide enough to accommodate the data you are
 merging.  See also "Comma-Delimited Format."

 Comma-Delimited Format
 This is one of the two formats StatMaster permits you to select when exporting
 (copying) data files from the program.  (Export capability is a new feature
 that is available on the registered version of StatMaster.)  Comma-delimited
 format is designed to place commas between the data items in the exported file
 and a hard return at the end of each line.  Select this format when you wish
 to merge the file later into a database or spreadsheet.  You will export a
 file that is up to 250 characters wide.  Anything beyond 250 characters on a
 single line will be truncated.  When you import the new file into a spread-
 sheet or database, select "comma-delimited ASCII" as your file type.

 Conducting a Search
 After you have selected a target area, StatMaster is ready to conduct a
 search.  To conduct a search, select "Conduct Search" from the Main Menu.
 StatMaster will perform rankings, display statistics, and perform queries
 (Boolean AND searches).  Each of these searches provide a different way to
 analyze your target area.

 Data Contained in StatMaster
 For a complete listing of the statistics contained in StatMaster, read the
 file called STATS.DOC.  There are 353 statistics presented in StatMaster--six
 statistics for places, 139 statistics for cities, and 208 statistics for
 counties, states, divisions, regions, and the entire United States.  Data is
 presented for the entire United States, its four regions, nine divisions, 50
 States, Washington DC, 3,139 counties and county equivalents, 942 cities, and
 9,542 places.  There are a total of approximately 900,000 individual data
 values and footnotes presented.  The data for states are the total for all the
 counties and county equivalents in that state.  The data for divisions and
 regions are the totals for all the counties and county equivalents in the
 particular region or division.  The data from the United States is the total
 of all 3,139 counties and county equivalents in the United States.  State
 Versions of StatMaster contain the same 353 statistics as StatMaster Profes-
 sional.  State versions contain information for the entire United States, its
 four regions, nine divisions, 50 States, Washington DC, plus the counties and
 county equivalents, cities, and places for a single state.  This means that
 state versions confine searches at the county and city level to a single
 state.  (StatMaster Professional and the Library Version of StatMaster permit
 county and city searches across the entire United States.)

 Data Density
 StatMaster Professional requires only 2.7 Mbytes of hard disk space.  The only
 competing products are packaged on CD-ROM.  The raw data contained in Stat-
 Master would required 68 floppies if stored in dBASE III Plus format... and
 that would include no database manager.  StatMaster products fit conveniently
 onto small hard drives.  Hard disks provide much quicker data access times
 than CD-ROM drives or tape drives.  (The fastest CD-ROM drives are still about
 three times slower than a typical floppy drive.)  We believe StatMaster is by
 far the densest database of its type in the world.  CyberSoft will be placing
 the entire PL 94-171 Population and Housing Statistics (published by the
 Bureau of the Census on ten CD-ROMs) onto a single CD-ROM.  The appropriate
 data from this publication will be appended to StatMaster in September of
 1991.  All registered users will receive this 1990 Census data update without
 charge.

 Display Statistics
 Select this type of search if you simply want to display information for all
 the places in your target area.  For instance, suppose you select all cities
 in the United States as your target area.  By selecting "Display Statistics,"
 you can then select up to 20 statistics from up to 20 categories.  Pressing
 the "S" key (for Search) will display the data for all 20 statistics and all
 957 U.S. cities.  The data will be displayed in the same sequence in which you
 selected them.

 Floppy Disk Drive Settings
 This option is present only in the Library Version of StatMaster.  During the
 installation process, you specified the types of floppy drives your system
 used.  If you need to update this information for any reason, select this
 option by highlighting it on the Set-Up Screen then pressing Enter.  A menu
 will present you a list of choices for drive A.  Select the proper drive size
 by highlighting it a pressing the Enter key.  Then press Esc.  A menu will
 then present you a list of options for drive B.  Select the proper drive size,
 press Enter, then press Esc.

 Esc Key
 Pressing the Esc key moves you back to the previous screen or permits you to
 quit what you are doing.  Think of it as the key that allows you to "escape"
 from where you are or what you are doing.  If you have a mouse, pressing the
 right mouse button is equivalent to pressing the Esc key.

 Exit to DOS
 Press "E" for Exit at the Main Menu when you wish to exit the program and
 return to the operating system.  To exit the Library Version, go to the Set-Up
 Screen, then select "Exit to DOS" in the Set-Up Screen.  A password is requir-
 ed to go to the Set-Up Screen in the Library version.

 Export Data
 The export function is a product enhancement that is available on registered
 versions of StatMaster.  When you export data, you are simply copying it to a
 disk drive in a specified format.  Pressing "E" when "Export Data" appears in
 the bottom border of the screen will invoke the Export function.  The prompt
 will ask you to select from three output formats.  Select "Columnar Formatted"
 if you'll be merging the data into a word processor.  Select "Comma-Delimited"
 if you'll be importing this data to a spreadsheet or database.  Select "Har-
 vard Graphics/Harvard Geographics if you wish to export this data into the
 Harvard presentation graphics program or the Harvard GeoGraphics mapping pro-
 gram.  This option permits you to create bar charts, pie charts, 3-D charts
 ten other types of charts.  You can also color code a map showing all the
 counties in your state with the data from StatMaster.  This option ties to-
 gether databases, spreadsheets, word processors, presentation graphics sys-
 tems, and mapping programs into an integrated Desktop Marketing or Demograph-
 ics System.

 Once you've selected the format, just follow the instructions that StatMaster
 provides.  StatMaster will output data records up to 250 characters wide.  If
 you are coping to a floppy drive, make certain your disk is formatted.

 Export Text
 The export function is an enhancement that is available on registered versions
 of StatMaster.  When you "export" text, you are simply copying the text to a
 disk drive for use later.  StatMaster exports text in a generic word processor
 format.  If you wish to create a file containing text from StatMaster, just
 press "E" (for Export Text) when "Export Text" appears in the message bar.
 After you press "E", just follow the instructions provided by StatMaster.  The
 Export Text function is useful when you wish to merge text from StatMaster
 into a report.  The extensive Source Citations (contained in the Information
 section of StatMaster) provide source citations plus important information re-
 garding how the statistics were compiled and what limitations and exceptions
 there are to the data.  No accurate interpretation of the data would be com-
 plete without these Source Notes.

 Footnotes
 As you study the data, you'll notice some of the locations, headings, and/or
 data have bright alphabet letters next to them.  These are footnotes.  To see
 what these footnotes stand for, just press "F" (for Footnotes) when "Foot-
 notes" appears in the message bar.  A window will display a listing of all the
 footnotes that pertain to the screen you are looking at.  Footnotes provide
 important information for interpreting the meaning of the data presented.
 Press Esc to remove the footnote when you are ready to continue.

 Geographic Areas
 This is one of the options listed in the Information section.  Selecting this
 option permits you to access information regarding special features and recent
 changes to a number of geographic areas.  This section also contains notes
 crucial to interpreting much of the footnoted data from Virginia.

 Glossary of Function Definitions
 This is one of the options listed in the Information section.  This glossary
 provides the functional definition of terms as they are used in this data-
 base.  For instance, "Age" is defined as "The number of years completed
 by a person as of July 1, 1984."  Because Bureau of the Census terms have
 specific meanings, you are advised to use this glossary whenever you have
 any questions about any term.

 Goto
 Every data entry has an "item number."  The item number corresponds to the
 line number of the data.  The number in the upper-right window border
 indicates which item number the highlighted triangle next to the area name
 is pointing to.  "1 of 3139" means the highlighted triangle is marking at
 the first of 3,139 items.

 Pressing "G" when Goto appears in the message bar invokes the Goto function.
 If you wish to "go to" item number 319, just type "319" at the prompt, then
 press Enter.  You may use Goto to move forward or backward through the data.
 If you have a mouse installed, you won't see the "Goto" message.  If a mouse
 is detected, a scroll bar will appear to the right of the text or data pre-
 sentation.  Simply point to the relative position you wish to move to on the
 scroll bar, then press the left mouse button.  If you click on the Up-Arrow
 or Down-Arrow symbols at the top and bottom of the scroll bars, the display
 will scroll a line at a time for you in the direction indicated.

 Goto is handy when the data you wish to quickly move through is a long
 string of zeros (often representing nondisclosed data).

 If you just wish to move to the very beginning or the very end of a list of
 item numbers, you don't need to invoke the Goto function.  Just press Home
 to go to the first item in your list or press End to go to the end of the
 file.

 Information Screen
 "Information" is an option on the Main Menu.  Selecting this option provides
 you with a glossary of functional definitions, an overview of StatMaster
 functions, a listing of all the data contained in StatMaster, complete source
 notes for all statistics, and information regarding geographic areas.  This
 section also tells you how to register StatMaster to obtain the latest 1990
 Census data.

 Intuitive User Interface
 StatMaster was originally designed to operate unattended in libraries.
 Libraries demand intuitive, easy-to-use programs that don't require user
 manuals.  Because of this, you'll probably find you can perform most Stat-
 Master functions just by trying them.  This is because most StatMaster capa-
 bilities are easier to do than they are to explain.  By eliminating the
 need to fight the user interface, you are free to concentrate on gathering
 and assimilating information.

 Library Version of StatMaster
 Librarians demand software that is powerful, yet extremely easy to use.  Stat-
 Master was originally designed for libraries.  This means that StatMaster had
 to be easy to use by first-time users without reliance on a user manual.  The
 Library Version has a built-in timer that returns the program to the Main Menu
 if no key has been pressed in three minutes.  It permits system operators to
 create a custom message screen.  It provides a password-protected Set-Up
 screen that allows system operators to select screen colors, set print
 options, modify drive options, and exit to DOS.  The Library version does not
 save target areas.

 Main Menu
 The Main Menu is the first screen you see after you press any key to erase the
 signature screen.  The Main Menu provides the option to define a target area,
 to conduct a search, or to access information regarding StatMaster and its
 data.  Pressing "M" when "Main Menu" is visible in the message bar of any
 screen will move you immediately to the Main Menu.

 Message Bars
 The bottom border of a screen box is called the Message Bar.  Message bars
 tell you every key that is active for the screen you are in.  Functions appear
 whenever they are enabled.  To invoke any of these options, just press the
 first letter (which will be highlighted) of any of these options.  On the left
 side of the message bar, you'll see the  keys that are active.  All these keys
 will perform actions for you.  As you move from screen to screen, the message
 bars change as your options change.

 Message Screen
 This feature applies only to Library Versions of StatMaster.  After no key is
 pressed for three minutes, the program will return to the Main Menu.  At this
 point, the program will display the Main Menu for one minute, then a Message
 Screen for one minute.  This cycle continues until a key is pressed.  Stat-
 Master displays a default message screen for you, but you can add a custom
 message screen if you wish.

 Mouse Support
 StatMaster supports mice.  All options and boxes with a highlighted background
 are "mouseable".  That is, they perform an action when you click on them.
 Clicking the right mouse button is equivalent to pressing the Esc key.  If you
 prefer, you may also point at the Message Bar option labeled "Esc" with the
 mouse, then press the left mouse button.  Point at any menu option then click
 the left mouse button to execute the option.  Click the left mouse button on
 the scroll bar to move to the relative position indicated on the scroll bar.
 Clicking on the Up Arrow or Down Arrow symbols (located at the ends of the
 scroll bar) with the left mouse button scrolls you up or down a line at a
 time.

 Overview of StatMaster Functions
 This is one of the options listed in the Information section.  It tells you
 about the StatMaster functions.  Just highlight the function you wish to learn
 more about and press Enter.

 Page Settings
 From the Main Menu, press "U" (for Utility).  Select "Page Settings."  You can
 have the printer print a single screen to a sheet of paper or two screens to a
 sheet of paper.  (Printing one screen to a sheet of paper is convenient;
 printing two screens to a sheet of paper is economical.)

 Print
 Any time the word "Print" is visible in a message bar, you can print the
 screen.  Just press "P" to send the current screen to the printer  When items
 from the Information screen are displayed, the print routine will output the
 entire text for the current section.  (This feature can be over-ridden in
 Library Versions.)

 Printer Page Settings
 "Printer and Page Settings" is available only on the Library Version of Stat-
 Master.  This utility lets you select how much data is sent to the printer
 when the "P" key (for Print) is pressed and how many screens of information
 are printed on each sheet of paper.  (To set printer and page settings for the
 Processional Version, see "Page Settings" and "Select Printers" in this Alpha-
 betical Reference Section.)

 The Information section features a number of information items, many of which
 are several pages long.  Select "Single-Screen Output for the Information
 section" if you want users to print only a single screen at a time.  Select
 "Full-Text Output for the Information section" if you want users to print the
 entire text for these information items.  "Single-Screen Output for Informa-
 tion section" is the default.

 You may also select how many screens you want printed on a sheet of paper (One
 screen per page may be more convenient for users, but two screens to a page
 will conserve paper.)  Two screens per page is the default.

 Professional Version of StatMaster
 StatMaster was originally designed to work stand-alone in libraries.  This
 meant it had to be intuitive enough for first time users who didn't have
 access to a user manual.  For the Professional Version, we added the ability
 to save target areas.  This enables you to save target areas such as sales
 territories or customer marketing regions.  You can give each saved target
 area descriptive names such as "Mary's Sales Territory" or "ABC Company's
 Target Markets."  The Professional Version also permits exporting (saving)
 text and data to your hard drive.  (The Library Version exports data and text
 to floppy drives only.)

 Query
 This type of search permits you to select up to 20 statistics from up to 20
 categories.  When you press "S" (for Search), the program will display
 statistics for all the areas that meet ALL the specifications you entered.
 Queries show you the intersection of crucial statistics.  Queries are also
 known as Boolean AND searches.

 Suppose you select the 256 counties in Texas as your target area.  Begin by
 selecting your most important statistic.  StatMaster will ask you to specify
 whether you wish to enter a minimum or maximum value for that statistic.  It
 will then ask you for a value, then it will ask you how you want the resulting
 data to be displayed.  This type of "question and answer session" gives you
 total control over what data you will be locating.  Simply answer the ques-
 tions as they appear.  After you finish the information for one statistic,
 move to another one.  You may press Esc to return to the Categories menu, then
 select another category.  After you have answered all the questions for all
 the statistics you are interested in, press "S" to start the search.

 Ranking
 This type of search permits you to rank any statistic from high-to-low or from
 low-to-high.  A ranking is an ascending or descending sorted list.

 Suppose your target area is the 970 Places in Pennsylvania.  (A "Place" is
 defined by the Bureau of the Census as any location with a population greater
 than 2,500 in 1980.)  You select "Money Income Per Capita, 1985" as your
 statistic.  The program then asks you to select a sort direction from high-
 to-low or from low-to-high.  As soon as you make your selection, the program
 sorts the data and displays the ranking to the screen.

 Review Screen
 After you've selected at least one statistic in either a "Display Statistics"
 or "Query" type of search, you may press the "R" key (for Review) to display a
 review of the data selections you've made thus far.  When performing Queries,
 StatMaster tells you what numerical values you entered, whether you specified
 minimum or maximum values, and the sort direction you specified. You may use
 Review before or after you conduct a search.

 Retrieving Saved Target Areas
 One of the options under "Define Target Areas" is called "Saved Target Areas."

 If you select this option, a menu of previously saved target areas will
 appear.  Simply select the target area you wish to use.  Of course, if you
 haven't saved any target areas, you won't see any saved target areas listed.

 You'll want to save your target areas if it takes you a long time to define
 it.  For instance, if you have a sales territory that includes 25 cities from
 seven states, you should consider defining your sales territory once and then
 saving it for use in subsequent searches.

 Saved Target Areas
 The Save Target Areas function is an enhancement that is available on regis-
 tered versions of StatMaster.  Each time you return to the Main Menu after
 defining a target area, the message "Save Target Area" will appear in the
 message bar at the bottom of the screen.  Press "S"" (for Save) to Save your
 target area.  StatMaster will ask you what you want to call this target area.
 Just type in a name like "Joe's sales territory,"  You may save up to 20
 target areas.

 You'll want to save your target areas if it takes you a long time to define
 your target area.  For instance, if you have a sales territory that includes
 25 cities from seven states, you should consider defining your sales terri-
 tory once an then saving it for use in subsequent searches.  You may save up
 to 20 target areas.  After you've saved 20 target areas, you may overwrite
 existing ones.

 Screen Colors
 To change screen colors in the Professional Version, select "U" (for Utility)
 at the Main Menu.  To select screen colors in the Library Version, go to the
 Set-up Screen and select "Screen Colors."

 Scrolling
 To scroll from screen to screen when data is displayed, use the right and left
 arrows to move right and left.  Use the PgDn and PgUp keys to move down and up
 a screen at a time.  Pressing End takes you to the last item in the list and
 pressing Home will take you to the first item in the list.  The message bars
 always indicate the keys that will perform functions for you.

 Selecting an Option
 StatMaster is menu-driven.  This means you tell the software what you want it
 to do by selecting options from menus.  To select an option, use the arrow
 keys to highlight the option, then  press Enter.  Notice that the message bar
 at the bottom of the screen tells you every function or key that is active.

 Select Printer
 This utility helps optimize your printed output to your printer "Standard
 Printer" handles most printers, including lasers.  "IBM Graphics Printer"
 provides "What you see is what you get" output for IBM Graphics Printer-
 compatible printers.  "Spooler/Network" permits printouts on shared printers.

 This utility is accessed in the Professional Version by going to the Main Menu
 and typing "U" (for Utilities).  Access this function in the Library Version
 by going to the Set-Up Screen.

 Set-Up Screen
 This screen is present only in the Library Version of StatMaster.  To get to
 the Set-Up Screen, you must first move to the Main Menu.  Just press "M" (for
 Main Menu), then press Ctrl F1.  (Hold down the Ctrl key and continue to hold
 it down while you press F1 key, then release both keys.)  The screen prompt
 will ask you to enter your six-character password.  Enter it then press Enter
 to move to the Set-Up Screen.  Your options are: Exit to DOS, Select Printer,
 Printer and Page Settings, Screen Colors, and Floppy Disk Drive Settings.
 Each of these are discussed in this Reference Section.

 Smart Messages
 In addition to the information in message bars, you'll notice messages and
 prompts appearing on the screen from time-to-time as you use StatMaster.
 These messages tell you what to do or offer you suggestions when you are
 having difficulty.  The most immediate messages appear in the lower-right
 corner of the window you are working in.

 Sometimes prompts appear when you fail to locate items during a search.  For
 instance, if you conduct a query and the program fails to locate any "hits"
 for you, it will prompt you with something like: "0 items located.  Please
 try a smaller value for money income per capita, 1985."  In this case, simply
 re-conduct the search, substituting a lower value for the statistic indicated.

 Speed
 StatMaster searches, sorts, and displays information between 100 and 1,000
 times faster than commercial databases or spreadsheets.  StatMaster can
 perform complex search and sort functions in approximately one to ten seconds.

 Conventional databases conducting similar searches can take over an hour to
 conduct identical searches.  We believe StatMaster boasts the fastest search
 and sort algorithms in the industry.

 You can see significant performance improvements if you run StatMaster in a
 RAM drive or if you use disk caching software.  Also, the more available RAM
 you have, the faster StatMaster will run.

 Source Notes
 This is one of the options listed in the Information section.  Source Notes
 provide you with source citations for every one of the statistics you are
 working with.  They also provide you with information crucial to the inter-
 pretation of the data you retrieve.  It is strongly recommended that you read
 the source notes before using any of the data you retrieve.  It's simple to
 print these source notes or to export them (see Export Text) to a file for
 inclusion in a document that presents your findings.

 Starting StatMaster
 To start StatMaster, log onto the subdirectory you installed StatMaster into.
 For instance, if you copied the program into a subdirectory called C:\SM, just
 type "cd\sm", then press Enter.  After logging onto the proper subdirectory,
 just type the two-letter state code for the state you installed, then press
 the Enter key.  You'll see an identification window.  Pressing any key will
 take you into the Main Menu.  If you have a Maryland version, you'll need to
 type "cc md", then press the Enter key.  This is necessary because "md" is
 reserved by DOS as a short form of "make directory."

 Target Areas
 Before you conduct a search, you must define a target area.  Your  target area
 is the sum of the places you wish to conduct searches across.  To define a
 target area, just select "Define Target Area" from the Main Menu.  For more
 details on how to select target areas, consult the "Defining a Target Area"
 section of the Tutorial (located on TUTOR.DOC).

 Technical Support
 If you have questions or comments regarding StatMaster, please feel free to
 call us at [phone].

 Timer
 This feature is found in the Library Version of StatMaster only.  When the
 program detects that no key has been pressed for three minutes, it will return
 to the Main Menu.  Every minute (or until a key is pressed), the screen will
 alternate between the Main Menu and a "message screen" containing information
 regarding this program.  This prevents the screen from "burning in" the Main
 Menu.

 Utility
 Pressing "U" (for Utility) at the Main Menu will take you to the Utility Menu.
 You may select from three options: Select Printer, Page Settings, or Screen
 Colors.  Each of these is described separately in this Alphabetical Reference
 Section.

 View
 The view mode is enabled when data is displayed for "Display Statistics" or
 "Query" type searches.  To generate a single-screen "view" of any location on
 the screen, use the arrow keys to position the highlighted triangle next to
 the location you are interested in, then press Enter.  Press "P" (for Print)
 to print the screen.  For help with View, just press "V" (for View) when
 "View" appears in the message bar.

 "What If?" Sessions
 One very useful feature of StatMaster is its ability to conduct "what if?"
 sessions.  StatMaster permits you to quickly re-conduct your previous
 searches, tweaking just a single statistic or two with each pass.  After you
 conduct a search, the screen displays your results.

 Suppose you want to repeat a Query, except that you'd like to see what happens
 when you use a slightly lower money income per capita statistic.  From the
 menu of major categories, begin pressing the Enter key.  Each time you do,
 StatMaster will present your previous selection or value.  Continue tapping
 the Enter key until you reach the value you wish to modify.  (You must press
 Esc to exit the major categories as you go.)  Just type in the new value and
 continue or press "S" (for Search) to start the search.

 Because StatMaster is fast, you can repeat these searches as often as you
 wish.  Conducting these "what if" sessions allows you to perform in-depth
 analysis of the data you are studying.  Try it.  Like most StatMaster func-
 tions, "what if?" sessions are a lot easier to conduct than they are to
 explain.



 This is the end of the Reference Document.  We hope enjoy using StatMaster and
 we hope you never have to read all of this.  Please keep in mind that regis-
 tration will bring you 1990 Census Data and the ability to export data into
 word processors, databases, spreadsheets, graphics presentation packages, and
 mapping programs like Harvard GeoGraphics.
