===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Rental Property Manager is a full working business shareware program
designed to manage the reservation and billing of apartments,
condominiums or other vacation property rentals on a short to medium term
basis. The program calculates rates and taxes and compiles income and
expenses to produce owner statements for any given date range.
The program is capable of managing any number of units for one or more
different properties. In addition to organizing reservations, powerful
mail manager features are included to facilitate correspondence with your
customer base through custom letters, or by simply printing mailing
labels for a selected subset of your guest file.
You can book reservations up to two years in advance and let the program
calculate unit rates on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, using rate
tables that you design. You can likewise enter a fixed rate at
reservation or check-in time.
Benefits of Registration
------------------------
When you become a registered user of RPM, you receive:
* the latest version of the program with all shareware notices
removed.
* a printed, illustrated user manual to assist in training new
users.
* 90 days of free technical support.
* notification of upgrades, additional features and companion
programs.
* a personalized copy of the program stamped with your
Property or Site Name (max 35 characters) to replace the
phrase 'Evaluation Version' that appears on screens
and printouts in the shareware version.
* an option to export guest addresses to file formats used by
word processing programs to print labels and form letters.
* high speed, compressed data backup/restore option to automate
the backup of data files.
Hardware Requirements
---------------------
This program requires an 80386SX based computer or better. It will not
run on PC-XT or PC-AT computers. You need to have DOS version 3.3 or
higher. It is recommended that you have DOS 5.00 or later.
How to Learn the Program
------------------------
This program has many more features than can be easily explained. The
fastest way to learn what RPM can do is to use the program and refer to
the online help screens. Start by selecting RESERVATIONS from the Main
Menu. Initially, the browse table is empty, press <F1> to access a full
screen of online help which explains how to enter reservations. Press
the <Insert> key to add a new reservation.
Always refer to the bottom of the screen for a list of options. If you
have to input data, the bottom of the screen will contain a message
telling you what information to enter.
Generally speaking, from within any browse table, press, <Insert> to add
a new entry, whether a reservation, a new guest, a new unit setup, etc.
Press <Enter> to edit the currently highlighted entry in the browse
table, or press <Delete> to delete the highlighted entry. These keys are
referred to throughout the program screens as <Ins>, <Ent> and <Del>
respectively.
Once you have entered a few reservations, begin selecting those options
that let you view reports and letters. The important thing to remember
is you cannot make a mistake and later you can go back and edit (by
pressing <Ent>) or delete (by pressing <Del>) any reservations you have
entered.
RPM Setup
---------
The RPM program comes with sample data so you can begin using it right
away. One thing you will want to do is to enter your own properties and
unit numbers. Please refer to the file RPM.TXT for additional setup
information. There are several features such as the <Alt-Insert> 'Clone'
option and 'Property Setup Report' that can simplify the setup procedure.

===== Installation =====================================
DOS Installation
----------------
Unzip the RPM zip file into any directory on your hard drive. We suggest
creating a new directory called \RPM. The DOS command to make a new
directory is: MD \RPM <Enter>
The installation directory, \RPM, must be the default directory whenever
you start the program. To make \RPM your default directory, use the DOS
change directory command, type: CD \RPM <Enter>
The program start command is: RPM <Enter>.
Use RPM as your user name and password. In the registered version, you
can setup your own user names.
Trouble Shooting:
----------------
If you have any problems installing and running the program, try this:
1. Be sure you are in the \RPM directory before you start the program.
The DOS command to change to the \RPM directory is: CD \RPM <Enter>.
2. Check your CONFIG.SYS file. Be sure the FILES= setting is 45 or
higher: FILES=45 If you change this setting in your CONFIG.SYS file,
reboot your computer.
3. After checking points 1 & 2, try restarting the program with this
command: RPM NEW <Enter>. The NEW switch will verify that all files
are present.
Windows 3.x and Windows 95
--------------------------
You can launch RPM from an icon in any version of Windows. First,
install the program according to the DOS installation instructions. For
this example, we assume you have installed RPM in a directory called
C:\RPM.
Create an icon using the Windows Program Manager, select FILE | NEW and
create a 'Program Item.' Next edit the 'Program Item Properties' to read
as follows:
Description......: RPM 1.O
Command Line.....: C:\RPM\RPM.EXE
Working Directory: C:\RPM
Now you only need to click on the icon to start RPM. When you exit the
RPM program, you return to the Windows Program Manager. You have to
correctly identify the 'Working Directory' in order to launch RPM from
Windows.
How to Order
------------
Please refer to the file ORDER.TXT
