- Common questions/problems:
-
- Q. The program asks me for a userid and password. What do I do?
-
- A. Default userid is USER1 and password is PASS1. Registered users receive
- an administrator program that lets you set up individual user ID's,
- as well as security restrict certain options to protect the integrity
- of the database, as well as prevent abuse.
-
-
- Q. When I go into some screens it goes to another screen that says
- "Action: Record will be added". Why does it do that?
-
- A. The first time you access a database, if the database is completely empty,
- it goes to the screen to add information automatically. If you don't want
- to add information, just depress "ESC" to back out.
-
-
- Q. How often do you come up with new versions?
-
- A. As this is a new program it is difficult to say, but based on our other
- products, we have been releasing upgraded versions several times per
- year. Our registered users receive notification about new versions, bug
- fixes, etc. Also we are fast approaching the point where we will only be
- offering the upgrades to registered users, and not issuing evaluation
- copies. This means that registered users have knowledge of and access to
- the latest versions, as well as utilities to make more specialized reports,
- improve file management, convert other file types, many other features,
- as well as support services.
-
- Also, these utilities will not be distributed as shareware, and will
- ONLY be available to registered users.
-
- Q. The program MAIL is over 562 K bytes. How can I run this on a 640K
- machine?
-
- A. The program uses "embedded overlays". This means that the program is
- broken up into several "modules" that are only loaded into main memory
- from disk when needed, into a single shared "overlay area". This reduces
- the main memory requirement to less than 440K.
-
-
- Q. How are "embedded overlays" different?
-
- A. Embedded overlays put all the individual modules in one big ".EXE" file,
- rather than individual files.
-
- We use embedded overlays to give you maximum flexibility, using minimum
- main memory space (ram cram), and minimum disk space.
-
-
- Q. I've looked for other packages, and yours is unique. How can yours
- be so inexpensive?
-
- A. We don't have the marketing costs that the big software companies have, and
- are a small company.
-
-
- Q. Why do you encrypt the user and customer database files?
-
- A. The reason for encrypting the user file is for overall system security,
- but the customer database file is to protect security of your customer
- information database.
-
-
- Q. What happens if I need technical support?
-
- A. All registered users are given a telephone number to receive technical
- support. We also publish technical bulletins to answer commonly asked
- questions and problems.
-
-
- Q. How much disk space should I allow for?
-
- A. That depends on the size of your company and the amount that you use
- each feature. We would recommend as a MINIMUM 1 MB, and preferably
- 2-3 MB.
-
-
- Q. What other programs do you offer as shareware?
-
- A. The only other program packages that we are presently offering as
- Shareware is the "Corporate Information Manager" package. This
- has a LAN/Multi-user as well as a standalone/laptop version,
- and is used by many companies, including several "Fortune 500's"
- to improve communication and productivity. If you would like to receive
- an evaluation copy, please fill out the form at the end of this file.
-
-
- Q. What programs are you planning or developing?
-
- A. We are working on a sales tracking system, as well as a friendly E-Mail
- system. These are scheduled to be released during the first half of
- 1992.
-
- Q. What if I want a custom version, or special reports?
-
- A. We do program customization, and our rates are very reasonable. As our
- programs "source code" and security systems are proprietary, we do not
- release our source code to anyone.
