(free) TTN & INTELEC shareware conferences WHY FISORDERS V 1.2 FISORDERS was created by the Vice President of Sales of an Inter- national Telemarketing and Direct Mail Order Company. Most of the programs available to Direct Mail Companies run in excess of $ 500 and are beyond the economic reach of most small businesses. FISORDERS incorporates most of the features of the large, expensive programs, with a few twists of it's own, at a price that all small businesses can afford. This is achieved by the low advertising budget of Freshe Ideas Software, the "no-frills packaging", "direct to user" (no middle men) sales, and our policy of not accepting credit cards (Personal or business checks are always welcome) and utilizing the SHAREWARE principles of program distribution. *************************************************************** FRESHE IDEAS SOFTWARE tm Copyright 1992-93 - Author Fred Babbitt - All right reserved!

Do another back up on new tape/discs for the end of the month. Take this one off premises also. Do one at the end of the year also.

Next year you may use the 52 weekly back up sets over again, leaving 13 back up sets in permanent storage. *************************************************************** GETTING STARTED Type FISORDRS at the root directory to start FIS-ORDERS If you have a MicroSoft compatible MOUSE be sure to load the MOUSE driver before loading FIS-ORDERS From the Main Menu - select - TOOLS - then - RE-INDEX FILES (always re-index databases after installing programs) *************************************************************** SET DEFAULTS Always enter the Company Name. If you choose to have the program enter your name and address on the top of forms - fill out the information requested next. If you choose to have the company info imprinted on forms - leave this section blank. If you wish to print long explanations (180 characters) with ITEMS (inventory) answer the next question 'Y'. In any case you will have the DESCRIPTION field which is 22 character long. If you wish to charge State Sales Tax answer the next question 'Y'. If you answer yes the program will instruct you to enter the sales tax amount required by your state and the state you usually charge tax for. Are you choosing COST or PRICE for inventory totals. Both systems are legal and the choice is up to you and your accountant. Cost = price you paid for merchandise. Price = price you charge for the merchandise. The program has 12 user defined fields associated with the customer file. The fields are for any information you desire. Defaults allows you to change the names of these fields for greater flexibility in recognizing what type of information you want to enter in these fields. You may choose to use a password for gaining entry to this pro- gram. If you so choose, the program will instruct you to type in the name of the old password - default - was none - just press the enter key. Then the program will request your password. Type any word you choose - no spaces, letters and numbers only. The program will request that you type in the new password again, for verification. You will get 2 chances to do this correctly after which the program will quit and you will have to start over. If the program determines that you possess a color monitor, it will ask you if you wish to change the programs colors. The default settings are - w+/b,r/w/w - "w+" white letters on a "b" blue background with a "w" white border. The center "r" red letters on a "w" white background are for the enhanced mode. You may change any of these colors and you may choose 3 different enhanced modes for varying effects. *************************************************************** F.I.S. ZIP CODES v 1.2 Freshe Ideas Software - ZIP CODES v 1.2 is part of F.I.S. Orders v 1.2. However due to space constraints the authors have decided to place this module in it's own file. If you desire to look up zip codes by zip, city, or state then you must first download the program and install it with F.I.S. Orders v 1.2. To ease the expense of acquiring shareware we have decided to split up the cost by placing a value on each module, therefore you need not spend the additional money to run F.I.S. Orders v 1.2.
