-----------------------------------------------------------------
This file consists of three pages and covers the following:
o Overview
o Hardware Requirements
o Test Drive
o Installation
o Removal
o Starting Accounts Receivables
o Overview
Accounts Receivable is a state-of-the-art program that doggedly
tracks receivables. The program prints invoices and statements
on standard 8 1/2 x 11 inch letterhead stock for use with window
envelopes. Accounts Receivable has a short learning curve, on
line help plus point-and-click capability. Features include
customer templates, undo command, selective invoice display and
single-key account and aging summaries. This version of Accounts
Receivable is distributed as shareware and is entirely supported
by registration fees. Versions, customized to your requirements,
are available.
o Hardware Requirements
Accounts Receivable is a Windows 3.1 application that runs in
either standard or enhanced mode. DOS version 3.1 or later and
an 80286 or higher processor are required. While not required,
a mouse and printer are recommended. Approximately 600KB of free
disk space is required for initial installation. Accounts
Receivable is supplied on one 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 inch disk. Before
using the disk, make a backup copy and read this document.
o Test Drive
In a pinch, Accounts Receivable can run from a floppy drive.
When operated from a floppy drive, Accounts Receivable operates
much slower than it would from a hard drive. You can take
Accounts Receivable for a test drive without installing it on
your hard disk. To take a test drive, perform the following:
1. Place the Accounts Receivable disk in drive A or B.
2. Select Run from the Windows Program Manager File Menu. After
the dialog box appears, type one of the following in the
Command Line text box: A:AR or B:AR then choose OK.
3. If all has gone well, the receivables display will appear.
4. Accounts Receivable has a short learning curve. On-line help
is designed to be read as a manual. Before you begin, read
the help file sequentially.
o Installation
Accounts Receivable can be installed from Windows or the DOS
prompt. Neither DOS nor Windows files are disturbed during
installation. The distribution disk contains a DLL file plus
the following:
AR.BIN AR.INI README.TXT
AR.EXE AR.TEM TUTOR1.AR
AR.HLP INSTALL.EXE TUTOR2.AR
To install Accounts Receivable from Windows, perform the
following:
1. Place the Accounts Receivable disk in drive A or B.
2. From the Windows Program Manager File Menu, select Run.
3. After the dialog box appears type: A:INSTALL or B:INSTALL then
choose OK.
4. After the Install display appears, follow the directions on
the screen.
Note: INSTALL.EXE and README.TXT are not installed or required
after Accounts Receivable is installed.
To install Accounts Receivable from the DOS prompt, create a
directory, place the Accounts Receivable disk in a floppy drive
then use DOS commands to copy the files. In the following
examples, if a directory or drive designator other than that
shown is used, substitute the correct directory name and/or drive
designator. Note that the carriage return key is shown as ENTER.
As an example, if Accounts Receivable is to be installed in a
directory named AR on drive C the following steps are
required:
1. From the root directory DOS C prompt type: MD\AR ENTER.
2. From the root directory DOS C prompt type: CD\AR ENTER.
3. Place the Accounts Receivable disk in drive A then type:
COPY A:*.* ENTER.
Note: While the example installs all files, INSTALL.EXE and
README.TXT are not required after Accounts Receivable is
installed.
After files have been installed from the DOS prompt, Accounts
Receivable may be added to an existing group with Program
Manager. The procedure shown adds Accounts Receivable to an
existing Windows 3.1 group. If a Windows version later than
3.1 is used the procedure may vary; refer to the Windows User's
Guide. To add Accounts Receivable to a Windows 3.1 group the
following steps are required:
1. Open the applicable group window.
2. From the Program Manger File Menu select New.
3. After the dialog box appears, select Program Item then choose
OK.
4. In the Program Item Properties Description text box type:
Accounts Receivable. Note the upper case A and R.
5. In the Program Item Command Line text box type the complete
pathname required to locate the program. For example, if
Accounts Receivable has been installed in the AR directory on
drive C type: C:\AR\AR.EXE.
6. In the Working Directory text box, type the name of the
directory where the program resides. If Accounts Receivable
is installed in the AR directory on drive C, type: C:\AR.
7. Check the entries carefully then select OK.
o Removal
Accounts Receivable files are installed in a single directory.
Neither DOS nor Windows files are disturbed during installation.
If for any reason Accounts Receivable has to be removed from your
hard drive, the following steps are required.
1. Delete all files from the Accounts Receivable directory.
2. Delete the Accounts Receivable directory.
3. Open the Windows group that contains Accounts Receivable. Set
the focus to the Accounts Receivable icon. Select Delete from
the Windows Program Manager File Menu and respond to the
prompts.
o Starting Accounts Receivable
If Accounts Receivable is in a Windows group, open the group
window then double click on the Accounts Receivable icon. If
Accounts Receivable is installed in the AR directory on drive C
and not assigned to a group, from the Program Manager File Menu
select Run. In the Command Line text box type: C:\AR\AR then
choose OK. Accounts Receivable's on-line help is designed to be
read as a manual. Before you begin, read the help file
sequentially.
