 Dear ShareWare Vendor:

 This file contains our distribution policy and information on all products.

 ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

 Compass / New England has a simple distribution policy:  You have permission
 to distribute our shareware as long as you:

        * identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition)

        * leave all intellectual property (copyright) notices in place

   ...and as long as we do not request that you stop.

 That's it.

 You may archive our programs, unarchive them, include/exclude optional files
 (like this one), include them with other programs on the same diskette, and do
 essentially anything you want as long as you follow these simple rules.  We
 want the widest possible distribution, and don't want to stand in your way so
 long as you are honest with our mutual customer.

 We suggest that you include all files with the same name (TimeTrac.exe,
 TimeTrac.doc, TimeTrac.rev) in your distribution together with the file
 register.doc.  You may choose to include all or a part of this file with your
 distribution at your option.

 Our normal distribution sequence is:
 1 New versions are offered to our registered users and are automatically
   shipped to new registrants.
 2 Next, new versions are posted on CIS.
 3 Then, we send copies of major revisions of software to vendors who have
   notified us of their interest (see below).
 4 Finally, all ASP associate members will receive copies of major updates in
   the regular ASP mailing.  This saves vendors and authors both money and
   effort; if you are not an ASP vendor member, please consider joining.

 If you are willing to go one step further, we will provide updates as they
 become available.  If you are a catalog house, send us a copy of the catalog
 in which the program appears, together with a copy of the diskette(s)
 containing the program(s) you wish to distribute, we will send you a copy of
 any major updates to our software.  If you run a bulletin board, send us a
 diskette(s) containing the program(s) you wish to distribute, and your mailing
 address, and we will update the diskette and mail it back to you.  Since all
 program copies are serialized by to whom they were originally sent, we are
 able to track registrations by vendor.  As long as we receive registrations
 containing your number for any product, we will continue to provide you with
 updates for all products.

 If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please contact me:

 Key Words: Time Expense Tracking Logging Cost Accounting Interruptions Lawyer
      Accountant CPA Consultant Professional Laptop ASP Shareware TimeTrac
      Compass

 Description: Time & expense tracking.  Real-time (TSR) or manual input.
      Provides flexible key structure & reporting, interrupted task tracking,
      multiple time tracking methods, partial & full report generation, export
      to spreadsheet & database programs, LAN & workgroup support, context
      sensitive help, complete manual on disk.

      TimeTrac is a time and expense logging system.  Features include:
        Flexible key structure and reporting options
        Ability to track interrupted tasks
        Optional TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) mode which allows you to
           "pop up" over other applications to log your activities -- using a
           "hot key" or when the phone rings.
        Work group support either through a LAN (Local Area Network) or on
           remote portable computers.
        Export to spreadsheet, database, and accounting programs.
        And menu driven rules for computing time used.

      TimeTrac is different from other Time/Billing programs because it:
        Tracks and calculates time for an unlimited number of nested
           interruptions.
        Is not a billing system.  This makes it appropriate for corporate staff
           charge-out systems, large professional firms who need to feed an
           existing billing system, and consultants who want to continue using
           word processing for billing.
        Uses menu-driven rules for the unit of time used, minimum amounts of
           time, and how time will be calculated.
        Integrates the time records of a group of people charging time to the
           same project with or without a LAN.
        Exports its data for analysis and processing to spreadsheet, database,
           word processing and accounting programs.
        Allows the user to define the key fields that will be used and how the
           reports will total and subtotal.

      TimeTrac is most appropriate for professionals who bill their time and
      for corporate staff people whose time is charged to projects.  TimeTrac
      collects information to be fed into a billing or cost accounting system.
      It supports LAN and workgroup computing, and will export all records for
      a workgroup (whether on a LAN or on independent notebook computers) to a
      spreadsheet, database, or accounting program.

      This program offers great flexibility in customization of up to four key
      fields.  You may use an alphabetic key, such as last names, or an integer
      key, such as a whole number, or a field that is justified around a
      special character.  In addition, you can have your own key titles on the
      data field and reports, so that the users of the system will not have to
      "translate" from your current system.

      TimeTrac will keep track of multiple (nested) interruptions.  This means
      that you can begin doing something, be interrupted, have that
      interruption interrupted, and still keep track of how the time was used.
      This is particularly useful when you begin a project but answer the phone
      during that same time period.

      Since TimeTrac uses clock time, the program (or even the computer) does
      not have to be running in order to keep track of the time spent on an
      activity.  This allows memory to be used for large programs, such as
      complex spreadsheets, allows for both corrections and manual input to the
      time records, and allows the use of portable computers for field work.
      Alternatively, the program can be used as a 6k TSR.

      TimeTrac will track time by any number of whole minutes between one and
      sixty.  It rounds, truncates, or appends partial units.  It will also
      compute a minimum amount of time.

      Reports can be totalled and subtotalled by key, and partial reports can
      be produced for a specific date or key range.

      TimeTrac includes its own screen blanker, so you may leave the program
      running for long periods without etching your screen.

      Complete documentation for TimeTrac is embedded in the program; simply
      press the F1 (help) key twice, and it will appear.  The manual can be
      printed by pressing one additional key.
