SECTION 1 - OVERVIEW
The Clearance and Access Monitoring System (CAMS) (1) assists
security managers in maintaining local records on the security
clearances, access authorizations and investigative status of
personnel who require access to classified information; assists
the security managers in preparation of visit requests in Word-
Perfect (2) and in maintaining records on visit requests;
produces a variety of formatted reports to assist in management
and allows you to design a local report. Both Government agen-
cies and contractors may use CAMS. CAMS operates on an IBM per-
sonal computer or compatible in a PC-DOS or MS-DOS (3) envi-
ronment.
The Clearance and Access Monitoring System (Queries) (CAMS(Q))
operates as a remote station on a network to allow others, such
as entry control personnel to determine an individual's status
before granting access. CAMS(Q) is only functional with CAMS
version 1.2 or above, you must have CAMS to use CAMS(Q). When
CAMS appears, the reference is to CAMS.EXE and its associated
files; when CAMS(Q) appears, the reference is to CAMS(Q) and its
files.
To start CAMS(Q), change into the directory containing CAMSQ.EXE
(e.g. "CD\CAMSQ" and press <ENTER>), type "CAMSQ" (DOS is case
insensitive), and press <ENTER>. Refer to "Files" and "Command
Line Arguments" in Section 3. CAMS(Q) counts down as it initi-
alizes itself, retrieves user-specified parameters, and verifies
the integrity of its databases. CAMS(Q) then displays the copy-
right notice. When you press a key, CAMS(Q) displays the menu.

SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
If you received CAMS(Q) on a diskette you may use QINSTALL.BAT to
install the program. Insert the diskette containing the files
into a floppy drive (either A or B). At the DOS prompt, type
"QINSTALL <drive1> <drive2>" <ENTER> (e.g. "QINSTALL A C") where
drive1 contains the source diskette and drive2 is the destination
for the CAMS(Q) files. QINSTALL.BAT will provide user informa-
tion as it proceeds.
If QCAMS is running in MS-DOS, the statement "DEVICE = ANSI.SYS"
must appear in the file named CONFIG.SYS in the root directory of
the boot disk and ANSI.SYS must be accessible during the boot
process.

SECTION 3 - PROCEDURES
3.1 Command Line Arguments.
CAMS(Q) looks for its database on the disk and in the directory
which is current at the time you begin the program. You may tell
CAMS(Q) to look in the root directory of a different drive. For
example, "CAMSQ J:" instructs CAMS(Q) to look for the databases in
the directory which has been designated as drive J within your
LAN software. If the database is not in the current disk/
directory, CAMS(Q) will notify you that a valid ACTIVE.DBF was
missing and that you should determine the fault and restart
CAMS(Q). ACTIVE can only be created by CAMS.
3.2 Database Records.
CAMS stores data pertaining to an individual in a record in
ACTIVE. Appendix A is the record description.
3.3 Exit. (E)
To end the current CAMS(Q) run, press "E" or move to "Exit" and
press <ENTER>.
3.4 Files.
CAMS(Q) requires CAMSQ.EXE to execute; if CAMSQ.EXE is not
present, DOS will respond with "bad command or file name" or an
equivalent when you attempt to start CAMS(Q). While intializing,
CAMS(Q) will search for the following additional files:
CAMSQ.MEM, ACTIVE.DBF and ACTIVE.NDX; failure to find CAMSQ.MEM
is not critical; CAMS(Q) will create CAMSQ.MEM. CAMSQ.MEM will
be located in the same drive and directory as CAMSQ.EXE; the
other files will be located in the drive and directory estab-
lished by the user of CAMS.EXE.
3.5 Check a Record. (C)
CAMS(Q) prompts you for an SSN. If CAMS(Q) finds the SSN it dis-
plays the associated record for review. (See "Social Security
Number Prompts" for information about those prompts.)
3.6 Menu.
The CAMS(Q) menu features four options: Check a Record, Organi-
zation, Screen Colors and Exit. Upon initialization, the
CAMS(Q) selection bar rests on Check a Record.
3.7 Networks. CAMS(Q) contains network-compatible instructions.
It has been tested in a limited network environment. A separate
program, the Clearance and Access Monitoring System (CAMS), which
3
is available from the author, establishes and maintains the data
CAMS(Q) needs to function.
3.8 Protection of Data.
ACTIVE contains the SSN of each person in the databases. The
Privacy Act of 1974 protects such data. Users should protect
system memory, magnetic media and the monitor screen accordingly.
3.9 Screen Colors. (S)
You may control the colors of the following: Full Screens, Menu
Boxes, Dialogue Boxes, Select Bars, and Notice Boxes. When you
select quit from the screen color procedure, CAMS(Q) rewrites the
screen to implement the color changes and writes the new color
information to its memory file, CAMS(Q).MEM.
3.10 Screen Navigation.
In the Menu, you may move the selection bar by pressing either
the up or down arrow key ( or ) or the initial letter of the
procedure. If you choose to press the initial letter of the
procedure, CAMS(Q) will move the selection bar and execute the
procedure.
3.11 Screens.
CAMS(Q) presents data pertaining to individual records in a full-
screen format (Appendix B).
3.12 Organization. (O)
CAMS(Q) allows you to identify the using organization with up to
three lines of text which will be displayed on the screen. When
you finish editing the text of those lines, CAMS(Q) rewrites the
screen to implement any changes and writes the information its
memory file, CAMSQ.MEM.
3.13 Social Security Number (SSN).
ACTIVE is permanently indexed on the SSN. Checking a record re-
quires you to know the SSN in a record. At an SSN prompt, if you
press <ENTER> on an empty SSN field, CAMS(Q) returns to the menu.
After you enter nine digits into the SSN field or if you press
<ENTER> with a digit in any one of the nine available spaces,
CAMS(Q) seeks the record with that SSN. If the search fails
CAMS(Q) offers you options: Correct the SSN or Return. If you
opt
- To correct the SSN, CAMS(Q) returns to the SSN prompt with
the SSN still in the SSN field.
4
- To return to the menu, CAMS(Q) returns to the previous
level.

APPENDIX C - 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. In the case of CAMS(Q), users are authorized to try the
program for 90 days before registering. Registration grants you the
continued right to use the program and access to technical support from the
author and copyright holder.
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 to others.
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.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of CAMS(Q) must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "CAMS(Q) is
supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied,
including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of
fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages,
direct or consequential, which may result from the use of CAMS(Q)."
CAMS(Q) is a "Shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user
for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your associates, but please do
not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of
"user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with
quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for
programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this program
useful and find that you continue to use CAMS(Q) after a 90-day trial
period, you must make a registration payment of $5 to James S. Reid. The
$5 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at
any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example
is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely
moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no
possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at
another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of CAMS(Q) along to your associates for
evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find it
useful. Registered users will receive a copy of the latest version/release
of CAMS(Q).
