- -------
-
- Dealership Sales Analysis will operate on any I.B.M. or compatable
- computer. A printer configured either as LPT1, 2, 3, or 4 is required.
-
- DSA is seperated into various sections for automobile dealerships
- to enter the pertinent data needed when transacting a sale.
-
- !!!! IMPORTANT !!!!
-
- The program can easily be run without refering to this manual, but
- you should understand the following when it is referred to in the
- program:
-
- FILENAME: Can be no longer then 8 characters followed by a period and
- then 3 more characters. EX: MYFILE12.DSA
-
- PRINTER NUMBER: You may have the data sent to any of four (4)
- printers (not serial). Ex: You have 2 printers, an Epson, and a Hewett
- Pachard Laser printer. You have the laser set up as printer number 2
- and you want the print out to go to that printer. In this case you
- would enter 2 at the printer number prompt in the program.
-
- DRIVE & PATH NAME:
- ENTERING DRIVE and PATH NAMES
-
- If you are using a floppy disk to store your data, you would enter the
- letter of the drive followed by a semi-colon (EX: A: or B:). If you
- have your data in a directory on the floppy, other than the one that
- the DSA program is in then enter the sub-directory name followed by a
- back slash. (Example: B:\DIRNAME\). If you are using a hard drive, and
- your data file is in the same directory as the DSA program, then enter
- only the drive letter and a semi-colon (Example: C:). If your data is
- in a different directory other then the one that the program is in,
- then enter the drive and path name followed by a back slash (Example:
- C:\DIRNAME\).
-
- Example: You want to save or recall the data for John Smith.
- The program will first prompt you for the file name:
-
- Enter: JOHNSMTH.DSA
-
- The program will next prompt you for the Drive & Path name:
- (NOTE: The directory must already exist on your drive).
-
- Lets say that you want to save or recall the file to/from
- drive C and that it is in a subdiectory called CLIENTS.
-
- Enter: C:\CLIENTS\
-

-
- MAIN MENU
-
- After the title screen and copyright notices are displayed, you
- are presented with a menu with two options.
-
- Option one is used for entering all the information regarding a
- new sales transaction or quotation. Select this option if this is the
- first time that you are using the program, or if you have not saved
- any of your previous customers' data. This option is the one that you
- will use most of the time.
-
- Option two is you when you want to recall a customers transaction
- file that you have previously saved.

-
- TRADE-IN INFORMATION
-

- interest rate on the automobile loan and the shortest and longest

- then not be printed.
-
-

- are ready, press the ENTER key to bring you to a menu containing four
- selections.
- The first selection will allow you to print out the entire
- transaction that you have just entered.
- You will be prompted to enter which printer that you want the data
- to go to. For most people with one printer you would enter 1 at the
- prompt, unless you have it configured to another printer port. Note:
- This program does not work with serial printers.
- You will be prompted to turn on your printer and press the ENTER
- key. If you are using letter head paper, then try positioning the
- print head on the printer just under the letter head on the paper. All
- of the information that you entered will be printed out along with
- subtotals and balances.
- In addition, a loan analysis will also be printed, along with a
- separate entry for any fees and tax that you elected not to have
- calculated into the loan itself.
- You may print out as many copies as you need to, and then you will
- be returned to the menu again; where you may either save the data in a
- file for future recall, reset the program to accept a new transaction,
- or exit the program.
