This is a demo and not a complete program. It was written using
GFA Basic and then compiled with the GFA Basic Compiler. It allows
one to do a complete payroll without ever changing screens. Quarterly
reports along with FUTA and SUTA are not supported in this demo. The
automatic zeroing of amount fields at year end are also absent.

You can use the mouse or the keyboard for most commonly used commands.
Some commands are only possible with the mouse. You can change any
field on the screen by clicking the mouse at the field that you 
wish to change. Some fields will display a prompt at the bottom of
the screen. The following keys are supported:

TAB    moves cursor to the end of current text in the field.
INSERT moves all text after cursor to the right.
UNDO   exits add or change without doing update.
DELETE deletes character under cursor.
LEFT ARROW moves the cursor to first position of text while editing
     or display previous record in command mode.
RIGHT ARROW moves cursor to the right or displays next record.
UP ARROW  moves cursor to the previous field.
RETURN  terminates input and moves cursor to next field.
F10  this function key accepts all input from screen as is and
     takes you back to command mode.

The search function is used to go to a specific record in the
file. Only enough of the name must be specified to uniquely 
identify the employee. You may also use the cursor keys to scroll
thru the file ( WILFORD NIEPRASCHK could be found be entering
NIEP). 

The bottom of the screen displays the last update that was performed
on that record along with the date. Checks will only be printed if
the employee was paid. Check may however be printed if print one check
option is used. An "I" means the employee is inactive and may not 
be payed.

The tax table may be modified by the user by using any text editor.
Be sure to make a back up of that file before changing it. Tax table
is in file "PAYTAX.DAT".

Only 200 employees may be added to the file in this demo version.
Reports will print on standard 8 1/2 by 11 paper.

QUIT does an automatic save. If doing alot of changes it is
recommended that you save often. This program may be run from
a RAM DISK as long as you remember to copy the file "PAYROLL.DAT"
to floppy before turning off computer.

Accessories will work from within this program, but you may have
to use the REDRAW SCREEN option to straighten out the screen.
