DAYO Log has many features, ie: multiuser, full screen edit and integration into the DAYO Inventory, Customer and Invoice databases. DAYO Log databases are all dBase (tm) compatible. ■ FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS: Menu Driven Multiuser Unlimited Users System Maintained Fields Xbase Compatible Database (ie: Dbase (tm)) Source Code License Reports Multiple Configuration Options A Simple DBMS ■ COPYRIGHT/LICENSE This manual and software is copyrighted with all rights reserved by TJS LAB, Inc.

TJS LAB, Inc has tested this software in many environments and found it to perform as expected, however, this software is licensed "AS IS". TJS LAB, Inc will not be liable for any damage done to your data, hardware and/or software systems as a result of using DAYO LOG. ■ REQUIREMENTS *** IBM or Compatible CPU 640K memory * DOS 3.3 or above (Will NOT work under any earlier version!) Printer - HP Laser (tm) or Epson (tm) compatible (either or both) Hard Disk - Approximately 1 Meg (1,000,000 bytes), available disk space for each major DAYO module ■ SETUP To setup DAYO Log, use the SETUP program supplied on the MENU or Update & Conversion diskette, or copy the contents of the DAYO LOG floppy disks into a directory on your hard disk (ie: \DAYOLOG), then 'uncompress' (ie: PKunzip ) them. When running DAYO LOG for the first time, it will create all the database, index, and configuration files it requires for operation. If other DAYO modules are being used, be sure to enter the location of these databases into the DAYO LOG configuration. On your initial 'run' through DAYO LOG, you will be prompted to verify and/or change the defaults and system configuration. There are many key configuration items. Read about the Configurations for more information. *** Your CONFIG.SYS file must have the buffers set to a minimum of 10, and your files must have a MINIMUM setting of 99! Failure to edit the CONFIG.SYS file is the #1 cause for DAYO installation problems! A CONFIG.SYS file is created if there is a problem detected, in the directory that this DAYO module is being run in. You may copy this file into your root/boot drive. Refer to your DOS manual for more information on the CONFIG.SYS file! DAYO Shipping Log, TJS LAB, Inc.
