Page: 1 ■ INTRODUCTION The BRAIN is a Job Scheduler and/or Menu system for use on MS-DOS based microcomputers. Use the BRAIN to run any program or batch file during the day or night; manually or according to a schedule. The BRAIN can also act as a Menu system, allowing you to select then run a job or program. The BRAIN was developed to facilitate the maintenance, reporting and archiving that many businesses experience. DAYO BRAIN schedules and runs programs and routines at pre-selected date and/or times. It will give you the freedom to run tedious and/or time consuming programs, ie: reports, backups, archives and indexes, at what would normally be non-productive times (ie: at night & weekends). This will allow you to be more productive since your work will continue when you aren't even around! Run those maintenance routines when you are there! Have your reports waiting on the printer when you get to work! DAYO Multiuser Applications comprises a wide range of products designed to run businesses. The product line includes accounting, inventory, utility and other software packages. The system is totally integrated and multiuser (ie: Novell (tm) & LANtastic (tm) ). Other DAYO Products: Inventory Inventory Control, Vendors, Purchasing, Receiving Quotes Sales Quoting System Price Books Special pricing for your customers as well as a wide range of product catalogs/reports AR Accounts Receivable AP Accounts Payable BO Back Orders EOP End Of Period Reports, Cleanup, and Physical Inventory Passwords Password protect your DAYO system Smart Reports A variety of reports pertaining to the above modules Menu Menu program, unlimited menu records/entries Index Network/LAN Index Maintenance Utility Billing & Create invoices and/or work orders your customers Invoicing and clients GUI Billing & Graphic User Interface version of the Billing & Invoicing Invoicing program POS Point of Sale, Billing and Invoicing.

Page: 3 ■ REQUIREMENTS *** IBM or Compatible CPU 640K memory * DOS 3.3 or above Hard Disk VGA Card and Monitor Mouse (Highly recommended, but not required) DAYO BRAIN is a program with a Graphic User Interface (GUI) requiring a VGA monitor and adaptor card capable of a resolution of 640x480 (16 colors/shades). A mouse is highly recommended, but not required. If you are using a mouse, make sure your mouse driver/software (ie: MOUSE.COM), is loaded before you load the BRAIN. ■ SETUP To setup DAYO BRAIN, use the SETUP program supplied on the MENU or Update & Conversion diskette, or copy the contents of the DAYO BRAIN floppy disks into a directory on your hard disk (ie: \BRAIN), then 'uncompress' (ie: PKunzip ) them. When running DAYO BRAIN for the first time, it will create all the index, and some configuration files it requires for operation. Type and enter 'BRAIN' at the DOS prompt to run the program. ■ DAYO BRAIN FEATURES The DAYO BRAIN main screen is designed to show all its available options and functions through the display of 'buttons'. All fields of the job and/or schedule are displayed onto the screen as well. In case you forget the day of the month (something we do sometimes), or need to schedule a future job, a calendar displayed in the lower left corner. A statistics box at bottom center of the screen displays key information about your system, ie: available disk space. The selection/option buttons are placed along the right side of the screen. The small square button in the upper left hand corner is the Escape (Esc) button. You may use your mouse, keyboard, or HOT keys (explained in a later section), to access the many options of the BRAIN. BRAIN V4.01, Copyright 1987-1992, TJS LAB, Inc.

You will be prompted to enter all the pertinent data for this record, ie: date and time to run. After selecting the ADD option, a box will appear asking if you wish to continue with the procedure to add a new record. Click the YES button to add a record or NO to exit back to the main screen. If you selected YES, the next screen that appears is the edit mode for the new record. You must access each line/field before exiting the edit screen. ■ FIELD DEFINITIONS Brief explanations of each field follow: NAME - Assign a Job Name to this job/schedule PROGRAM - Enter the program or batch file name of this job ACTIVE - This field requires a Yes or No response. Yes will allow the job to be run and a No will put this job on 'permanent' hold. A 'status light' displayed that lets you know if the job is active or not (green for yes & red for no) LOCATION - Supply the location/path/directory of the program (ie:\DAYOX\) COMMENT - This field is provided for you to enter comments about this job. Limit the comment to 45 characters DATE CREATED - This is the date the record was created. This field is not user ACCESSIBLE LAST DATE/TIME - This field displays the last date and time the job was run. This field is not user ACCESSIBLE # RUNS - This field will display the number of times this job has been run. This field is not user ACCESSIBLE MINUTES - This field will display the number of minutes required to complete this job the last time it ran. This field is not accessible to the user BRAIN V4.01, Copyright 1987-1992, TJS LAB, Inc. Page: 5 TOTAL MINUTES - This field will display the cumulative total of all the minutes this job has ran. This field is not user ACCESSIBLE SCHEDULE - This field displays the date and time this job is scheduled to run. This field is not user ACCESSIBLE SPECIFIC DATE - This field is the specific month/day/year (in that format), that you want this job to run. You may choose to leave this field blank (just press Enter) RUN EACH DAY - This field displays YES or NO, depending upon your selection in the 'SPECIFIC DATE' field. If you selected ALL in the SPECIFIC DATE field, YES will be displayed, otherwise, NO will be displayed. This field is not user Accessible DAY OF WEEK - If you choose to run a job on a specific day of the week, this field displays that day of the week. The day of the week is selected from a pop-up menu EVERY X MIN. - Enter the frequency you wish the job to be run in minutes or leave blank. Press Enter to move to SPECIFIC TIME to run the job at a specific time SPECIFIC TIME - Enter the specific time of day to run this job , using the military time format (01:00 - 24:00). This field will not be ACCESSIBLE if something was entered into the EVERY X MIN option/field. *** Note, you must 'pad' this time string with a leasing zero (0), ie: 01:00, not 1:30... RUN BEFORE - Enter a specific time of day (in military time), to set the ending time of a 'scope'. An example: If you set SPECIFIC DATE to Monday, EVERY X MIN. to 30, RUN BEFORE to 9:00, and RUN AFTER to 5:00, the scheduled program will run every Monday, between 5 AM and 9 AM, every 30 minutes RUN AFTER - Enter a specific time of day (in military time), to set the starting time of a 'scope'. An example: If you set SPECIFIC DATE to Thursday, EVERY X MIN. to 45, RUN BEFORE to 23:00, and RUN AFTER to 20:00, the scheduled program will run every Thursday, between 8 PM and 11 PM, every 45 minutes JOB NUMBER - Job numbers are the database record numbers.

Use this routine to 'stuff' keystrokes into the jobs/batch files/programs that are run. This option extends the number and types of programs that can be run to include those that have prompts. Valid keyboard stuff codes/values are special scan codes for function keys like the F1 through F12 keys, combinations of the ALT, CTRL and Shift keys with others, the arrow keys, numeric keypad keys and others. Literal values are acceptable when surrounded/enclosed by single quotes, ie: 'QUIT'. Special scan codes are generated by each key combination on your keyboard. A following table lists the codes generated by the computers at TJS LAB. If you have any problems with them, download SCANCODE.EXE from our BBS (407) 292-4921 (8-N-1, 1200-9600). It will show you what your codes are, if different from ours. BRAIN V4.01, Copyright 1987-1992, TJS LAB, Inc. Page: 13 Examples: 1.

These files usually contain numeric digits. If HIMEM.SYS is loaded and memory is available, a file with the name like 'TEMP0001.RAM' will be created. The files are deleted by the BRAIN after it executes a job. A real disk space problem will occur if the BRAIN does not return to its execution after running a job (ie: a reboot). These files are large (about 400k), so look for them (check the date). Erasing 'active' memory swap files will cause the BRAIN to abort. On networks, multiple swap files may be present... ■ CREDITS: Clipper, a trademark of Nantucket Corporation FUNCKy, dLESKO Associates. SilverPaint Library, SilverWare, Inc.
