ASP OMBUDSMAN POLICY: This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536. DEFINITION OF 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 it. Individual programs differ on details. Some request registration while others require it. Some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual. 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, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware. 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. Also because the overhead is low, prices are low. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee. If you don't use the product, you don't pay for it. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: USERS OF MEMBERS.EXE MUST ACCEPT THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: MEMBERS.EXE 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.

MEMBERS.EXE is a "Shareware Program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The o59o5 èessence 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 are using MEMBERS.EXE and continue to use MEMBERS.EXE after a 30 day trial period, you are asked to make a registration payment of $19.95 for a Single user. This $19.95 registration fee will register a single user and allow him to receive notice of future upgrades. 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 is being used at another. Just as a book cannot be rad by t wo different persons at the same time. All users must register and pay for their copies of MEMBERS.EXE within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. See the document named LICENSE.TXT for a site license agreement and licensing fees. Anyone distributing MEMBERS.EXE for any kind of remuneration must first contact Anthony F. Rafalski III at the address below for authorization. This authorization will be automatic for distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for Shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering MEMBERS.EXE immediately.

If you have received this program on a diskette, the first step you need to make is to make a copy of the diskette. To do this, type in the following: DISKCOPY A: A: This is a DOS utility function that will allow you to copy the diskette. It tells you when to insert the SOURCE diskette (the original diskette that was supplied to you) and when to insert the TARGET diskette (the blank diskette to which you wish to copy the original to). It will tell you to place these diskettes into diskette drive A at the appropriate times during the copying process. After you have the above typed in, press the ENTER key to continue. If you have received this program through other distribution sources, and have it installed on your hard disk, then you need to make a backup of the programs in the following manner. BACKUP C:\MEMBERS\*.* A: This assumes that you have installed MEMBERS.EXE and associated files in a subdirectory named MEMBERS, and that you have a scratch/blank diskette in drive A. After you have typed in the above, press the ENTER key to continue. NOTE: Depending on the number of data files, and their size, you might require more than one diskette for your backups. Be prepared and have more than one formatted diskette handy when you are doing any backup. 2. If you already have MEMBERS.EXE and associated programs installed on your hard disk, then you can skip this step. Remember, that you must keep track of the appropriate directory when running MEMBERS.EXE in the future and to substitute the directory name that you have used wherever the instruction tell you to use the directory name MEMBERS. If you do NOT have MEMBERS.EXE and associated programs installed on your hard disk, but wish to do so, then do the following: a. Place the copy of the distribution diskette into diskette drive A:. b. Type in A:INSTALL, then press the ENTER key to continue. This will install MEMBERS.EXE and associated programs in a subdirectory named MEMBERS. c. The following files are installed in the MEMBERS sub-directory: INSTALL.BAT Installation procedure if installing from a floppy diskette.

To start MEMBERS.EXE running both now and in the future, after this installation process, you will need to only type in MEMBERS, and it will start running. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Documentation - MEMBERS.EXE 1. Menu Bars - Displayed on the lower left corner of the screen is a Menu Bar. This consists of two lines of information. The Choice Line, and the Explanation Line. The Choice Line consists of one word selections/choices. If you have a CGA,EGA or a VGA monitor / Adapter card in your computer, the Choice line will show the current selection as being highlighted. The highlighting of the choice line on the Menu Bar will not be apparent on a monochrome monitor. The explanation line is just below the choice line. This line will explain in further detail what the purpose of the current one word selection is. This line will be on both color and monochrome monitors. It will change and explain the actual action that will occur as you press the arrows keys. If you should press the ENTER key, this is the action that will occur. To select an item , you can use either the right arrow key ( -> ) or the left arrow key ( <- ). When the proper choice is highlighted, and the proper explanation is displayed on the explanation line, then o5δo5 è press the ENTER key to start processing that option. Another method of making selections from the choice bar is to type the first character of any item on the choice bar. This will immediately advance you to that selection as if you had moved the highlighting to that item and pressed the ENTER key. The Menu Bars are a standard feature of the MEMBERS.EXE program, and should facilitate use of this program by providing not only a selection of options on each screen, but also providing an immediate explanation of the option that will be run after you have pressed the ENTER key. 2. Basic Data Entry Rules and Operational Considerations: When you are working on the actual data entry screens for adding or changing records in the file, there are certain rules that you need to be aware of. a. When you get to the last item on the screen, and you press the ENTER key, the program will automatically return to the Copyright screen and the Menu Bar. The program will also automatically Add/Update the item working on. b. Pressing the ENTER key when on a field automatically advances to the next field without changing the field. To change a field, you actually need to key in data, then press the enter key. c. If you have a field you want to delete, you can delete this field by pressing the space bar, then pressing the ENTER key to proceed to the next field. d. When on the Data Entry screens, pressing the F2 key will allow you to save the data to the disk and exit the file maintenance screen without typing any more data. e. When on the Data Entry screens, pressing the ESC key will allow you to abort the operation with no change/add to the data file. Any data that was typed on the screen will be ignored when the ESC key is pressed. f. Pressing the Up Arrow key will back you up to the previous field. g. When entering club members into the computer, you will note that next to the Amount Paid for membership dues, the screen asks for the 'Paid To: ' Date. This should be the date that the membership expires. h. Please note that when using the Menu Bars, that different menu bars are chained together. By selecting the Return option on any menu, it will return you to the previous menu. That is the menu from which you selected an option that moved you to the current menu. To exit the system, you could possibly need to select Return several times before you return to the main menu to exit the system. i. When typing in dates the computer will expect a 4 digit date. e.g. the date nineteen ninety two should be entered as 1992 not o5$o5 è as 92. j. For printing mailing labels, use standard 15/16 inches high by 3 1/2 inches wide continuous form labels. These are a standard label and should be available from most stores that carry any type of computer supplies. 3. The first screen that displays is the directory list screen. This screen will give you a list of the different files and a short description of the information that is available in each file. This allows you to have up to 30 different files. You can maintain one file for just mailing labels, one file for your Ham Radio Club, one file for the Walking Club, One file for your son's Scout Troop, etc. This feature is in this program, because you often maintain several different list of clubs, and friends names that you want to have readily available, but that you do not want to mix together. Press ENTER for more choices, Type A to Abort Operation. Type in the name of the file to use. Enter Selection -> (Must be 8 Characters) Pressing the ENTER key will advance you to the next screen of choices. If you type the letter A, then no file will be chosen. If you do type in a file name, it must be 8 characters. If you do not type in 8 characters, then the program will continue to loop at this spot until you do. 4. When using mail merge in word processing programs, you will typically have two types of files. You will have a primary merge file, and a secondary merge file. The primary merge file consists of your basic form letter with coding that will insert the information from the secondary merge file into the appropriate spots in the primary merge file. The secondary merge file contains the data in an appropriate format for inserting into the primary merge file. Please be sure to consult your word processing manuals for your specific word processor as to the proper steps to follow in combining your primary and secondary merge files in the production of form letters. This program only creates the Secondary Merge file. You must create your own primary merge file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Program Menus 1. Main Menu - After you have selected a file name, then the copyright screen appears. Just below the copyright screen you will see your first and the main menu bar. Maint. Print Select Directory Utility END Master File Maintenance. a. Maint. (Master File Maintenance.) - This option will switch you to the file maintenance Screen. From this screen you can Add new records, delete old records, and change existing records. b.

This allows you to Add new members, update existing members, or delete/remove existing members from the chosen data file. The file maintenance screen will display in two parts. On the first screen, you have the basic name and address information. You also have a box indicating if this person is a member (Y=member, blank=Non member) or not. If you choose Y (Member), then the second half of the screen will display when you are completely done with the first half of the screen. If you leave this box blank, then the second half of the screen will be skipped. The screen remains the copyright screen until you make one of the selections on the file maintenance Menu Bar. Add Update Delete Return ENTER New Data. All file Maintenance Screens are in Three parts as follows: The first half of the file maintenance screen helps you to keep track of the name and address. If you leave the Member = field blank, then you will have a simple mailing label program that can be used for keeping track of addresses and phone numbers. Thus a simple mailing label program. If you type Y for Member, then the second half of the file maintenance screen appears. This helps you to keep track of additional information. Other Associations, or other clubs or organizations that this member belongs to. Whether or not the club member is a club officer or member of the Board of Directors.

This information is used to direct the printing of the delinquent lists when memberships are due for renewal. You will note that next to the 'Amount Paid: ', the computer asks for the 'Paid To: ' Date. This should be the date that the current membership expires. The file also keeps track of when an individual joined the club, and what type of membership they have, F=Family, or I = Individual. If you type in a company name on the first screen, then the third screen will appear requesting a separate name for the place of employment of the individual. This allows you to maintain a separate list of employment addresses as well as a list of the home addresses without having to maintain duplicate files. a. Add (ENTER New Data.) - This item is to be used for individuals not currently in the master file. It will display the blank screens, and allow you to key data into them.

This item will first prompt you for the last name that you wish to find. At this prompt, it is best to type in the first letter of the last name. It will then display up to 15 names at a time for you to search through the file. When the desired name is on the screen, then you select the number next to the name, and press enter. This will display the information on that name. If the desired name does not appear on the screen, then typing a Y, or pressing the ENTER key will advance to the next screen. If you decide to abort this operation, typing a N will return you to the Menu Bar. c. Delete (Remove Existing Records.) - This will remove an individual from the file.

The reports are broken up into 4 basic sub-groups. Member reports, Non-Member reports, All Reports, and Miscellaneous reports. The Member sub-group only prints reports on the member data. The Non-Member sub-group only prints reports on non-member data, and the All Reports section prints the reports on all the data in the data base regardless of whether or not they are members or non-members.
