WHAT IS GENERAL INVOICE SALES TRACKER
General Invoice Sales Tracker is a program for small firms who use pre-
printed, "Hand Written" Customer Invoices on most of their sales.
General Invoice Sales Tracker's purpose is to allow those firms to use
a computer for business purposes, but WITHOUT the need to change any of
their existing paperwork, procedures or pre-printed forms. There is also
NO NEED for a computer operator with Bookkeeping or Accounting skills.
General Invoice Sales Tracker is NOT an "Accounting Program", but it
is a "GROSS INCOME" and "CUSTOMER BILLING" program. As such, General
Invoice Sales Tracker provides all of the "Income" information that
most Accountants or Bookkeepers require from a small business. In most
cases, they only need some General Invoice Sales Tracker Printouts,
your Bank Statements and Check Stubs to maintain your firm's books.
But, in addition to organizing and preparing your Income Data for your
Accountant, General Invoice Sales Tracker will provide "You" (as a
Manager) with a great deal of very useful business information. It
will also automatically handle routine monthly chores (such as
Customer Statements) without most of the usual mistakes, "Short-Cuts"
and oversights that occur when these same tasks are done by an
employee with a typewriter.
Customers:
- Shows "Last Sale Date" & "Total Amount Spent" for every customer.
- Prints a Customer Telephone Directory (2 phones with extension #s).

REGISTRATION
GENERAL INVOICE SALES TRACKER "Original" is being marketed as a
"Shareware" software package. The term "Shareware" means that we
provide you with a copy of the program for you to "try out" for a
short evaluation time. After a few weeks of use, you are required to
either dispose of the program or send us the purchase price for
registration. Extended use without proper registration is a violation
of our rights under the Copyright Laws of the United States.
WARNING: "Shareware" versions of any of our programs are, and will always
remain, fully functional. But any of several safeguards "may" exist to
encourage User Registration and to help detect and expose unauthorized
retailing of any version which may have been "Doctored" or "Altered".

BONUS FOR REGISTERING
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Users who register always receive the latest, updated and improved
version of this program. They are also kept advised of all of our new
programs, and many times, they are offered special discounts toward
(or free Demos of) our new programs.
Registered Users also receive a "SUPPORT FILE" called "GISTTOOL.EXE".
This Support File let's the registered user do four (4) very useful
tasks related to manipulating "RAN" files.
"GISTTOOL.EXE" - FEATURES
1- EXTRACT Invoices from your "INVOICE.RAN" data file and create
assorted "smaller" invoice data files. This allows "Date Specific"
Invoice files to be created with "Yearly, Semi-Annual, Quarterly or
Monthly" data only.
This feature allows the User to keep "current" Invoice files much
smaller in size. A smaller file allows the program to work at a
faster speed during data searches, and will allows program use on
some of the "smaller" disk drives.
2- MERGE Invoice files. Allows you to merge together two or more
General Invoice Sales Tracker Invoice files into a larger Invoice
file which can contain many years worth of invoices (up to about
725,000 separate invoices).
3- CLEAR the "Last Sale Date" & "Total Amount Spent" fields from all
the records in "CUSTOMER.RAN". Then Recalculate and insert new values
for both those fields based on the current INVOICE.RAN file.
4- Offers some additional ability to repair corrupted data files
through a "File Maintenance" routine which removes all "Deleted" and
"Corrupt" records. Many times this will "fix" a corrupted data file.
HOW DO I REGISTER?
Print out (and fill out) the file named "REGISTER.DOC" with the DOS
Command.... "COPY REGISTER.DOC LPT1" <...hit 'Enter'>
When you have completed the Registration Form, Mail it to us with your
payment. Make all checks payable to "R. KEBER JR.".
