account
* Signals when an under-aged user attempts rental of a sensitive tape
* List of tapes checked out, especially who has overdue tapes
* Shows any tapes the customer has out when he comes in to "check
out" other tapes -- each "account" can have ten items "checked
out" at one time and extra "accounts" can be created for the
customers needing more
* Handles items for sale and keeps track of numbers in stock
* Generates mailing list & prints according to carrier route sort
(for low postage costs)
* Allows mass "check-out" of tapes to "racks" while
* tape is left in inventory records

:INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: A:INSTALL A: C: where A: is the floppy
disk drive, and C: is the hard disk drive. INSTALL.BAT creates
C:\VTI (for the actual use program) and C:\VTITUT for the tutorial.
INSTALL.BAT displays, but does not modify, the CONFIG.SYS file
(FILES=15 required). INSTALL.BAT creates VTI.BAT and VTITUT.BAT in
the root directory of the hard disk drive.
:STARTUP INSTRUCTIONS: VTI for the actual program, VTITUT for the
tutorial. The manual is C:\VTITUT\MANUAL.TXT and should be printed.
Do VTITUT first to learn the basics of the program. Then use VTI to
enter store's actual customers and rental items. At the opening
screen, the new user may press the F10 key to consent to the
licensing terms for a period of 90 days. After that time, the user
must manually type the consent message. VTI NEVER cripples or
handicaps the operation other than this delay. When the program is
registered, this delay will be terminated.
