===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
OASIS for Windows
What is OASIS?
OASIS (OWL Automated Sales and Invoicing System) is a
complete sales management system that includes: invoicing,
automated billing, customer correspondence, mailing list
management, and sales tracking. OASIS Features:
* Intuitive menus that minimize typing. For example, to
create an invoice you simply choose the customer and
products sold from a series of menus. OASIS fills in
the invoice and computes the sales tax for you.
* Customer tracking. Customer profile reports show each
customer, the items they have purchased and the dates
each item was purchased.
* Sales tracking. Product sales reports give a complete
picture of the products that are selling and those that
are not. The Buyers report shows you the names of
customers who have purchased a particular product.
* Mailing list management. Customers can be separated
into up to 100 groups. Mailing labels and mail merge
files can be generated for any combination of one or
more groups of customers. This feature lets you target
your mass mailings to just those customers who are most
likely to respond to a given mailing.
* OASIS can be configured to automatically compute two
sales taxes (e.g., Canadian GST and PST).
* Income data entered into OASIS can be imported into OWL
Basic Bookkeeping to provide complete tracking of both
sales income and business expenses.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
OASIS requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 or above, a hard disk
and 8 MB of memory.

===== Installation =====================================
Upgrading from an earlier Windows version.
Before installing this version use your present version of
OASIS to make a backup disk of your data. In the File menu
choose the Backup Data option to make the backup disk. This
is a precautionary measure.
During the installation process you will be prompted to
choose either "Full Installation" or "Upgrade Installation."
If you choose "Upgrade Installation" your present data files
will be preserved. If you accidently choose Full
Installation, your present data files will be overwritten
and you will need to choose the "Restore Data" option to
restore your backup data for use with the new version.
Installation
To install OASIS, use the Program Manager or File Manager to
run oasetup.exe. For example, if you are installing from
drive A:
1.From the Program Manager File or Win95 Start menu, choose
Run.
2.In the Run dialog box, type "a:oasetup.exe" and choose
OK.
The install program will allow you to select the drive and
directory where OASIS will be installed. The default is
C:\owl_bus. If you are reinstalling OASIS for Windows or
installing an updated version, use the same directory where
you originally installed the program.
The Install program creates a program group named "OWL
Business Apps" with icons for OASIS, OASIS User's Guide, and
README.
RUNNING THE PROGRAM
The data files shipped with the program are empty. The
Getting Started section of the User's Guide contains a step-
by-step guide to program setup and creating your first
invoice. To view this information double click the OASIS
User's Guide icon then select Program Setup under Getting
Started from the Table of Contents.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
