- USER SUPPORTED
- --------------
-
- This program is user-supported software. It is copyrighted and cannot
- be sold for profit (without the author's express written permission), but
- it may be copied and distributed for free.
-
- The SHAREWARE concept is a distribution method that dispenses with
- heavy marketing/advertising costs and gives the user the opportunity to
- try a software program before buying. Its continued existence depends on
- each user paying for what he does, in fact, use.
-
- If you find this U.P.S. program useful, please send the $20 (or more)
- registration fee directly to the author:
-
- Richard S. Altman
- P.O. Box 4388
- Clearlake, CA 95422-4388
-
- Upon registration, you will receive a floppy diskette containing the
- latest (more complete -- up to 70#) version of this program and/or a new
- RATE update, along with a printed manual detailing its uses and specifica-
- tions. You will also receive other programs by the same author.
-
- WHEN ORDERING, please be sure to indicate single or double density
- disk drive, and the name of the program [UPS.CMD]. Comments on programs
- are also most welcome!
-
- Due to possible unforeseen circumstances, the above offer is subject
- to change without notice.
-
-
- WHAT IT DOES
- ------------
-
- UPS.CMD is a dBASE II command file that requires following input:
- (1) the ZipCode from your home or business location
- (which is used to determine your "Home Zone")
- (2) the ZipCode of your package destination
- (3) the weight of the package
- (4) whether you want regular, 2nd Day Air, or Next Day Air
-
- UPS.CMD then quickly finds and outputs the cost to ship your package.
- After that, you may elect to use the same destination ZipCode information,
- a new ZipCode, or return to dBASE. That's it!
-
-
- STARTUP PROCEDURE
- -----------------
-
- (1) Make sure you have a copy of dBASE II (and its overlay files)
-
- (2) Copy all of the UPS files to the drive containing dBASE II.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- (3) Type: DBASE UPS-STRT<cr> Enter the ZipCode info as requested.
- The program will then tell you which .CMD file to use.
-
- (4) Type: DO UPSx<cr> (where "x" = 2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
-
- (5) When you have finished the first session, you will NOT need
- UPS-STRT.CMD on your hard disk. Also, once you've determined
- which .CMD program to use, you can use the CP/M REN command
- to rename it: Example-- REN UPS.CMD=UPS2.CMD, etc.

-
- Happy programming!
