			    **** INTRODUCTION **** 

	This is the information & registration file on the program 
	CJPOS.  CJPOS was created by Christopher J. Ryba to provide 
	an EXTREMELY user friendly point-of-sale program for my friend 
	Christopher Kilcoyne ; owner of Brookpark Certified Automotive 
	Service in Parma, Ohio. He wanted a program to print receipts 
	and save estimates at his shop. What evolved from simple 
	beginnings in August of 1992 is rather complete package for any 
	small business who can dedicate a CGA or VGA IBM compatible computer 
	with DOS 3.0 or higher to point of sale operation.  Any printer 
	will work to if you load the control characters. Default includes 
	the EPSON character set or an Ithaca receipt printer. Print receipts
	and reports from any port- LPT1 thru LPT4; COM1 thru COM4.  
	
	Additional default printers are being added to PRINTERS.DRV in future 
	additions to assure compatiblity.

	IF TODAY IS PAST 07/01/1994 THEN YOUR COPY IS PROBABLY VERY OUTDATED
	CONTACT CUYAHOGA COMPUTING OR BROOKPARK CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE TO OBTAIN
	A MORE RECENT VERSION. THIS PROGRAM NOT ONLY FOR AUTOMOTIVE USE - 
	BIKE SHOPS, GUITAR SHOPS, COMPUTER VENDORS, GUN SHOPS & PHOTOGRAPHERS 
	ARE ALSO USING IT !

	************************* OPERATION ***************************
	In the Receipt Menu is included a screen saver to prevent monitor 
	burnout.  The F1 to F12 keys are struck to bring up different 
	departments. For BCAS of Parma these departments are Labor 
	(F1 is Labor, unless specified otherwise during setup), F2 is Exhaust,
	F3 is Emmisions, F4 is Brakes, F5 is Shocks & Struts, F6 is Springs,
	and so on to F12 for Miscellaneous. After pressing one of these F keys 
	a window pops up with various part discriptions.  For example, at BCAS 
	pressing F2 brings up the Exhaust Department with parts such as 
	mufflers, pipes, hangers, clamps, etc.  Using the cursor keys moves 
	a selection box to a part description.  Say we chose Mufflers, now
	striking the Enter key replaces the first window with a second window 
	listing the part numbers under that part description. For our example,
	we choose #1811G of Mufflers by using the cursor keys again to move
	the selection box. This exact part number for Mufflers has the price 
	to go with it. Finally the quantity is prompted at the bottom of the 
	window; the default value is 1.

	For the Labor department( F1 ), canned descriptions of labor are 
	loaded in with their hour quantity.  These descriptions can be added 
	to. The appropiate labor rate is then selected.

	The beauty of CJPOS is that it is a "build on the fly" program in 
	which a user can add part, part number, & labor descriptions as 
	they're needed.  Moving the cursor box to any line with "****" will 
	allow putting a new item into the appropiate window. A total of 70,400 
	unique part numbers can be loaded into the program in this manner for 
	departments F2 thru F12. If a labor type is not specified this 
	theoretical maximum rises to 76,800. A total of 99 "canned" labor 
	descriptions can loaded into the Labor department (F1).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
				OPERATION CONTINUED ...

	When a receipt is ready, it can be saved as an estimate, or finalized 
	as TENDERING to Cash, Check, Visa/MC, Discover, American Express, or 
	Accounts Receivable. Also Line items can be deleted or changed if an 
	incorrect entry occured. Customer names & information are prompted 
	before the end of a sale.  This information can retrieved if a 
	sale re-occurs to the same customer at a later date by providing 1 to 
	3 letters of the last name. Your present customers can be added if 
	you desire.

	Back to the main menu, several other choices are presented.  Daily 
	sales can be viewed and expenses entered.  A daily printout sheet 
	of these items is provided.  Also the products sold for the day and 
	any variable period can be tallied, viewed, printed, or output to a 
	ASCII space delimited or comma delimited text file for a spreedsheet 
	program.
	Inventory of part numbers is tracked and quantities altered in the 
	Inventory subprogram.  A printout of loaded part numbers can done for 
	every department; a cost sum of positive inventory counts is included.
	The Accounting subprogram allows for adjustment to any sales figures 
	and the account charges/credits.  
	The program saves receipts in an ASCII text format that can be viewed 
	like this file.

    *  One of the two address lines can be used for your BAC # in California
	and individual labors assigned per mechanic/salesperson. Anyone else 
	use the two address lines for other info. (Second Phone #, Etc.)

    *  A routine for creating Purchase Orders has been finished. 
	Those with FAX/Modem software can fax the order after exit from
	CJPOS. The PO file can be faxed by your software by using a file 
	named PO####.DAT in the PO subdirectory of CJPOS. This PO##.DAT
	file is in ASCII format like this README.TXT file.

    *  Non-taxable parts can sold by preceeding the primary description
	with a "+". For example, in the first screen of a department such
	as Exhaust having a description such as "+Exhaust Inspection" any 
	items loaded under this description will not be taxed.

    *  If your type of retail operation handles rentals then use Program Setup
	to change to a rental store. When you write an ESTIMATE the items will
	be removed from stock. At invoice time the items will return to stock.
	Those items that are not rentals should be prefaced with a "*" as in
	"*Blank Tapes" for the primary desription.

    *  Your present customer base can be added to the customer file.

    *  Canadian GST IS supported by this program, as well as Provincal Tax !!    
	
    *  If you need to tender two different currencies for cash the PROGRAM SETUP   
	will let you input the name of the currency (i.e., PESOS) and the 
	conversion rate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   *   The first customer desription (#7) is normally a important criteria for 
	your customer database,i.e., Same person but different types of "Cars"
	or whatever. This 25 character field can be made to appear
	as the first item on receipts if desired. If you aren't using it for
	critical information then a "*" should added to last space of this 
	14 character prompt so that CJPOS doesn't see it as an important field.
	
   ***************************  INSTALLATION  ********************************


	1.) Unzip onto a floppy drive or a hard drive directory
		the CJPOS1xx.ZIP file which contains a SETUP.EXE program to 
		create a blank part/item numbers and other files and 
		directories used by the program. 

	2.) Run SETUP from the floppy or hard drive. If installing from a 
		location on your hard drive be sure to let SETUP install the 
		directory. During SETUP department sizes are set as well as 
		the prompts for customer info. At BCAS the additional info 
		prompts are Make & Model, Engine, Mileage, & VIN Code.
		The DEMOSET.DAT settings file has example names for each 
		department and customer Info prompts. You can run a quick 
		setup using these names and change parameters later after 
		installation. Putting a "\" before the customer prompt during
		setup or in 'Change Program Paramters'will prevent that field 
		from being printed on receipts.
			
	3.) Type CJPOS to start

   *  Included are example LEGALEST.TXT ,  LEGALRCP.TXT , WARRANTY.TXT, 
	and SAVER.TXT files used at BCAS. Examine these files and modify to
	your application.These files are in ASCII format and using any text
	editor such as EDIT can modify them. 

   *  If the LEGALEST.TXT or LEGALRCP.TXT are removed multiple types of 
        receipt "taglines" can chosen from when a receipt is created. You 
        could create different files for different occasions with this method.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
			   HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   *  The program needs an MINIMUM of 1.8 Meg hard disk space to run.  
	Naturally as more receipts are written, the program could outgrow 
	1 Meg in size ( I hope your business is selling something ! ).
	At BCAS Automotive one full year required 4 Meg of HD space for his
	Fiscal 1993.

   *  640 K of RAM is required. 

   *  DOS 3.30 or higher for the operating system.
