There are a few things you should be aware of before
using FireFighter.
The fire report does not take the place of the Provincial
or State Fire report. This is a quick report for your own
Departments use and information.
Make sure you have the file Help.cfg in the same directory
FF.exe is in.
If you are paid by the incident rather than by the hour
start FireFighter at the dos prompt with ff/c.
The program will automatically Capitalize for you.
This means you can use upper or lower caps and have the
program change everything for you or you can Capitalize as
you want.
The only place it will not capitalize for you is in the
comment sections of your reports and when you Edit a file.
When you start up the program by typing FF at the DOS prompt
you will find some Sample records to experiment with.
You will have to DELETE or RENAME all these records BEFORE
you start to Enter any of your own.
These records are:
Practice.rpt ------ Practice Reports
Fireinf.rpt ------ Fire Reports
Maint.rpt ------ Maintenance Records
Roster.dat ------ Roster Records
Roster.ndx ------ Index of Roster Records
Case2.rpt ------ Training Records
Comment.dat ------ Comment records (new in version 1.35+)
If you want to keep these records as Samples then just run
Sample.bat and it will rename the files for you.
If you want to Delete these files then run GetRid.bat
This batch file will delete the proper files so that you can
start entering information.
Important:
Please remember if you have duplicate names(last/first) then
you must enter one name differently than the other.
eg: John Baker, J. Baker, Jack Baker, etc.
Make sure your spelling is correct as this could cause a
problem with finding records later on.
Be sure to fill the record using the same format as the
Sample records.
Please read the file FIREROST.DOC!
Get all your records entered the way you like and after you
order the Registered version of this program, you can copy the
Registered Version right over the Unregistered Version.
Make a Backup copy of your directory first in case of
mistakes.
If you are using a Floppy disk A: or B: then make a diskcopy
of the program before using it.
Then you will have a spare copy if anything goes wrong.
The FireFighter program will continue to be expanded and made as easy to work
with as possible.
Please READ the File "FIREROST.DOC" for more information.
