      ABOUT ATTEND
      
      ATTEND is a single purpose Database program. It is designed to take
away some of the trouble involved in finding and implementing an easy method
of tracking and recording Employee attendance. It employs a combination of
database / spreadsheet functions, to help format and track attendance. It
can track approximately 200 employees, flags you when updates are due,
computes statistics on employee leave occurrence types, as well as optionally 
storing employee personal information, allows use of extended comment files 
for making notes, and many other useful functions.

      ATTEND can be run on any IBM compatible system, including the oldest
systems. It requires DOS 3 or higher, and that's about it. It can be run 
in a text-window within Windows on a Pentium, or on a monochrome-screen XT.

      The screen saver enclosed can also be used on monochrome, EGA, or VGA
screens (though the graphics routines will not work in a Window - use full
screen mode for them).
      
      Some On-line Help is available in ATTEND. Simply choose ATTEND program 
instructions from the main menu. This is a summary of help, however. The
full, printed documentation is only available by registering. Registered
users will also receive the latest program update (with the nag screen and
delay removed), and discounts on future versions of the program.


      RUNNING THE PROGRAM
      
      To run the program, type in ATTEND and press Enter. To set ATTEND
up to be run from within Windows, please refer to your Windows documentation
for setting up a new program item.


      BEFORE YOU BEGIN
      
      Before you begin Data entry to ATTEND, it would be wise to review the
Employee Status Type configurations. Assure that the configuration adheres to
your Company policy before continuing. This isn't mandatory, but will give 
you an idea of what ATTEND is currently set up to do with your data. Change 
one or all of the configurations as you require, then print a hardcopy for 
your records. Also, be sure the Calendar is set to your choice of Anniversary 
year update or Calendar year update. Only one of these choices may be used 
in this version of ATTEND.

      Assure that your systems' Date is correct. ATTEND makes use of your
computers' internal Date to perform searches and updates. Incorrect Date may
produce undesirable results. Date and Time may be set from within ATTEND.

      This version of ATTEND must be run from a directory named C:\ATTEND.

      Password protection can be enabled; please write the password down
in a safe place before using the function. Re-installation will be required
if you forget the password.


      REGISTRATION AND PRODUCT SUPPORT
      
      Many long hours went into the development and preparation of ATTEND.
ShareWare is a type of software distribution, whereby you may 'Try out' a
program for a period of time before paying for it. If you keep and use the
program for more than 30 days, you are expected to register (ie, legally
purchase) the program. Registration usually brings the purchaser additional
benefits, such as documentation, program support, enhanced or updated ver-
sions, nag screen-delay removal, and discounts on future versions of the 
program.

      If you find that the program does not meet your needs, no problem. 
Simply delete it from your computer system.

      Registered users of ATTEND receive full product support. The author
can't support unregistered users, and disclaims any and all liability for
any mishaps, errors, omissions, or any other problems that may arise out of
the use of the program, for the ShareWare version. Liability with the
Registered version extends only to correcting any program error, defective
disks or documentation supplied, or assisting with general program operation.

      Please see the file REGISTER.TXT for a registration/purchase form
for ATTEND version 3.3. Thank you!
