- PropMan
-
- PropMan software was designed specifically for propery
- management. The Registered version of PropMan will track up
- to 50 units. These may be 50 individual houses or one 50 unit
- building or any combination inbetween. Financial records are
- kept individually for each building.
-
- PropMan is an on-line accounting system. All data is
- updated through-out the system each time new information is
- entered. Displays and reports are always current. There are no
- transactions to post or trial balances to run. It maintains
- monthly and year-to-date data about properties. Historical
- data is kept about current and past tenants.
-
- There are a lot of convience features that are difficult
- to do with databases or spreadsheets. PropMan does move-in
- and move-out prorates, calculates mortgage payments, schedules
- rent changes. It prints 3-Day and rent change notices. And
- there are several others.
-
- The Shareware version of PropMan is a functional property
- management system. It has the same capacity as the Registered
- version but some features have been removed. It has been
- trimmed so that it and documentation will fit on two disks.
- The shareware version collects and maintains all needed data.
- Nothing will be lost when you upgrade to the Registered version.
-
- PropMan is also available in versions that will handle
- more units, multiple owners per building, payroll expenses,
- management fees, checkwriting and more. Call or write for
- information if you need these capabilities.
-

-
-
- Registration
-
- The Registered version of PropMan costs $135.00. It is
- delivered on four diskettes. Registration includes 90 days
- phone support, a Reference Manual that tells how PropMan works
- and a User Guide that tells how to work it.
-
- PropMan is NOT free software. The Shareware version is
- freely distributed so that users may have a chance to try
- PropMan before purchasing it. If you use PropMan you owe us
- the registration fee and should be willing to pay it.
-
- If you don't want to register now but want to be notified
- of future releases of PropMan, send us your name and address
- for our mailing list.

- Hardware Requirements
-
- PropMan runs on IBM PCs and compatibles. Minimum
- hardware is 512K memory, a hard disk and 80 column printer.
- The CONFIG.SYS file must contain a FILES parameter with a
- minimum of FILES=20.It will use a color monitor but does
- not require one. (The self-running demo on disk 3 does
- require color.) The Shareware version of PropMan will use
- about 500K of disk space plus 150-300K per building. The
- Registered PropMan uses almost 1 meg plus building data.
-
- PropMan avoids all non-standard operating techniques
- and interfaces. As a result it has run properly on every
- PC compatible it has been installed on and has worked with
- every printer tried.
-
-
-
- Installation
-
- PropMan is self-installing. After powering up your
- computer, put disk 1 in drive A. Type the command
- A:PMINSTAL. PropMan will be loaded onto your system. As
- the load progresses you will be asked for disk 2. Disk 3
- is not needed for the load. It contains documentation
- and a self-running demo.
-
- PropMan requires a FILES=20 parameter (larger is OK)
- in the CONFIG.SYS file. If there is no CONFIG.SYS, PropMan
- will make one. If one exists it is left alone and you must
- check the FILES parameter yourself. PropMan creates a
- sub-directory called PROPMAN and loads itself into the
- sub-directory. Within this PROPMAN sub-directory an
- additional sub-directory named PMDATA is created.
-
- After installing PropMan or changing the CONFIG.SYS
- file, re-boot the system before running PropMan for the
- first time.
-
- When you run PropMan if you get errors:
-
- Severe I/O error 1007
- Severe I/O error 1009
- Disk not ready
-
- You most likely do not have the correct FILES=
- parameter or the PMDATA sub-directory is missing or
- misplaced.
-
-
-
-
- Files on the disks
-
- Disks 1 and 2 contain the PropMan software and batch
- (.BAT) files to load it on your hard disk. Disk 1 also
- contains; REGISTER.DOC, an order form for PropMan;
- FEATURES.DOC which lists some of PropMan's features and;
- REPORTS.DOC, several sample reports.
-
- Disk 3 three contains documentation files and a
- self-running demo of PropMan. MANUAL.DOC is excerpts from
- the PropMan reference manual. USRGUIDE.DOC is excerpts from
- the PropMan User Guide, a step by step tutorial manual. We
- selected the portions that would be of immediate use to a
- new user. The full manuals run close to 100 pages each.
