-
- DATAPRO#.EXE Data Processing Course
- Version 3 Registration copy $20.00, plus $2.00 p/h
- DESCRIPTION: Take this data processing course, written for a computer
- training school. Gain skills. Apply for and get a good job. Has a warm-
- up on-screen numeric keypad for learning number input, six data-input
- programs (invoices, mail order records, voting records, addresses, sales
- commissions, and payroll), two job tests that companies use to find
- qualified people, and an action numbers game in which you type numbers
- before they fall like missiles and destroy your city buildings. This is
- also an excellent program for use by teachers of data processing!
-
- DATAPRO is sent in one file named DATAPRO#.EXE. To put DATAPRO#.EXE
- on your hard disk, make a new directory by typing MD C:\DATAPRO [ENTER].
- Then type COPY A:DATAPRO#.EXE C:\DATAPRO [ENTER]. Then go to the new
- directory by typing CD C:\DATAPRO [ENTER] and type DATAPRO#. The file will
- split up into over a dozen files. (The next time you wish to start up the
- program, just type CD C:\DATAPRO [ENTER] and then type DP [ENTER].) If you
- do not have a hard disk, tell us your IBM floppy disk size so we can try to
- get you a usable program. (There is not enough room on 360K disks to split
- DATAPRO#.EXE into different files on Drive A:.)
-
- For the data input programs there are data files (PRINTME files) that
- must be printed out by you BEFORE you use the program. When these are
- printed, you will get the exact data needed to type into the six input
- programs. So turn your printer on, go to the DATAPRO directory if you are
- not already there (type CD C:\DATAPRO [ENTER] to go there), and print out
- the files like this:
-
- TYPE PRINTME.NUM > PRN [ENTER] (Wait for printing to stop.)
- TYPE PRINTME.L&N > PRN [ENTER] (Wait for printing to stop.)
- TYPE PRINTME.PAY > PRN [ENTER] (Wait for printing to stop.)
- TYPE PRINTME.SAL > PRN [ENTER] (Wait for printing to stop.)
- TYPE PRINTME.VOT > PRN [ENTER] (Wait for printing to stop.)
- TYPE PRINTME.VOT > PRN [ENTER] (Wait for printing to stop.)
- TYPE PRINTME.ADD > PRN [ENTER]
-
- There are about 30 pages to print for each of the first two files, and only
- 5 or 6 pages to print for the others. To bind the printed sheets together,
- you might use BINDER CLIPS, obtainable at any office supply or Kmart.
-
- As you gain input speed and accuracy, and are happy with scores on
- timing printouts, you may send the printouts, $1.00 for each, and a stamped
- self-addressed envelope to the address below, and receive HONOR ROLL
- Certificates of Achievement (with your name and printout information on
- them), suitable for framing, or copying and mailing to possible employers
- as part of your job application letters. They show your proficiency!
-
- A school room version of DATAPRO (with pertinent school information)
- and permission to make backups for one classroom is available for $20.00
- plus $50.00 per classroom, and $2.00 once for postage/handling. If wanted,
- ask for a school version of DATAPRO for each classroom. Extremely easy to
- use, DATAPRO has been thoroughly tested at a computer training school.
-
- If you have questions, phone 1 (313) 627-3111. Have fun and gain
- skill! Good luck in finding a suitable job!
