THE POSTAL CONSULTANT by MASTERWARE (C)1989 John G. Kacmarcik
Thank you for trying The Shareware Version of The POSTAL CONSULTANT.
I'm sure you will find it a very handy and useful program.
Just place the disk in your disk drive and type POSTAL <Enter>
and make your choices from the convenient menu.
To install The POSTAL CONSULTANT on your hard drive, simply make a
sub-directory of your choice and copy the files from The POSTAL
CONSULTANT disk into it.
Registering The POSTAL CONSULTANT will allow you to customize the Zip Code
to Postal Zone portion in the FOURTH CLASS & PRIORITY MAIL areas of the
program. You will receive the latest version of The POSTAL CONSULTANT and
the Zone Chart entry program. If you wish, you may send me a copy of the
Postal Zone chart for your area (available at the Post Office) and I will
enter the Zip Code information for you at no extra charge!
See the ORDERFRM.DOC for details and pricing.
The POSTAL CONSULTANT is designed to run on the IBM PC XT, IBM Personal
Computer AT, and other IBM-compatible microcomputers. The minimum
computer memory required is 256K. Because computer memory is used
as a working space during data manipulation, more memory usually
results in increased processing speed. The processor sets aside a
certain amount of computer memory as temporary working space. This
temporary working space is reserved in blocks of RAM that are called
BUFFERS. The more buffers you reserve, the faster processing is
achieved. The total number of buffers is restricted by the amount of
RAM available on the computer system. Because the POSTAL CONSULTANT program
itself and the active data files used in the program compete with
buffers for memory space, the number of buffers should NOT be set too
high. With a minimum of 256K ram in the computer, you should be safe
to designate 15 memory buffers.
When settings other than the default are chosen, information about
the number of files and the number of buffers is communicated to the
computer through a file called CONFIG.SYS. Since this is a dBASE type
program, I recommend your CONFIG.SYS have at least FILES=20 and
BUFFERS=15. For more information on CONFIG.SYS consult your DOS manual.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 215-437-9668. (Evenings are
best) If I am not in, just leave a message and I will get back to you as soon
as possible. Thanks again and Happy Computing!
Sincerely,
JOHN G. KACMARCIK
