BILLPOWER
This is BillPower, your PERSONAL version of an extremely powerful time-
keeping, billing, and bookkeeping package. It's designed to help attorneys,
accountants, and other professionals keep precise records and bill regularly.
BillPower is part of the "ManageX" series of business software. Other programs
in the series will be described later.
BillPower requires an IBM-compatible PC/XT/AT with a hard disk, DOS 2.1 or
greater and enough memory to devote 370K solely to BillPower.
NOTE: Unless you received BillPower directly from Integra Compting, you may
find that its files are contained in two ARC files, called BP__A.ARC and
BP__B.ARC, and BP__C.ARC. If you don't have all these ARC files, you
don't have all the files needed to use BillPower.
---------------
To install BillPower:
1: If appropriate, use PKXARC to extract the program from the 3 ARC files
onto an empty hard disk directory named "MANAGEX".
2: Copy BACKUP.COM and RESTORE.COM from your DOS diskette to the MANAGEX
directory (or insure that they are in the PATH).
3: Make sure your computer's CONFIG.SYS file has a line that reads,
"FILES=30".
3: To start BillPower, move to the MANAGEX directory of your hard disk and
enter "bp" (not "billpower").
---------------
BillPower is an intuitive program, but it has a great many features which
will remain hidden from you unless you read the instructions. Unfortunately,
to fit the entire program and instructions onto one disk, the documentation has
had to be severely condensed. Many of the program's features are mentioned,
but substantial detail has been excised. To get the most from the program, you
may wish to obtain a disk containing unabridged documentation. You may do so
by registering as a user for $100. Registration entitles you to the most re-
cent version of BillPower and to a copy of BillPower's FULL instructions, in-
cluding descriptions of all the additional functions offered by BillPower Plus
(described below). Please fill out the registration form found at the begin-
ning of the documentation and send it, along with your payment, to Integra Com-
puting. To print the documentation, enter the following command at the DOS
prompt: "type billpowr.doc>prn". Thanks.
IF YOU DELAY REGISTERING, BILLPOWER WILL BEGIN TO BEEP REMINDERS TO
YOU IN A FEW MONTHS. DON'T WORRY, YOU'RE NOT BEING THREATENED. NO FILES
WILL BE DESTROYED, AND THE PROGRAM WILL NOT SUDDENLY "DIE". BILLPOWER WILL
ALWAYS WORK FOR YOU, EVEN IF YOU DON'T PAY FOR IT.
RELATED PRODUCTS
BILLPOWER PLUS
BillPower Plus has all the features of BillPower, PLUS some very valuable
"extras". This potent program can:
* track the activities of up to fifteen employees/timekeepers;
* automatically update affected G/L accounts whenever a disbursement or
receipt is entered (allowing "real-time" balanced bookkeeping, a feature
found in few, if any other, other time and billing programs);
* prepare mailing labels and merge-print "canned" letters to your clients;
* hold the names, addresses, social security numbers, general impressions,
etc., for several thousand people;
* keep dated memos on various clients or subjects and rapidly sort through
this information at any time;
* conduct conflict of interest checks;
* MORE!
BillPower Plus includes all the billing formats and reports found in Bill-
Power, such as the Income-Expense Statement and Balance Sheet. But it also
tosses in a few others. For instance, a special "Recent History" report is
available for any client at the touch of a few keys.
TICKLEX
TickleX is a tickler/calendar program that will keep track of your
appointments and deadlines, print your itinerary at the beginning of each day
day, keep a "to-do" list, and chart the projected course of each matter you
handle. It will also schedule trips and vacations, print weekly and monthly
calendars, and beep at you when you need to do something. Whether you're an
executive looking for a powerful centralized personnel scheduler, a busy en-
trepreneur needing an easy-to-use tickler system, or a lawyer seeking the ulti-
mate docket control software, TickleX is the program for you. There isn't a
more robust scheduler available at any price.
LITIGEX
LitigeX is a litigation support program that offers unprecedented
value. Use it to store research, prepare chronologies, or keep track of evi-
dence. It'll prepare reports of everything stored in any of its data bases,
sorted alphabetically by subject matter. It can scan depositions provided
to you on disk in industry-standard ASCII format. It can quickly find that
tidbit of information you seem to remember having entered some time ago.
MOE
MOE is a handy pop-up time/work/expense log, scheduler, calculator, phone
directory, mini-data base, and printer controller. It's designed to share
scheduling, timekeeping, and expense data with TickleX and BillPower (if
you're also using them). Requiring about 80K of RAM, MOE is always available
at the touch of "hot" key combination.
