===================================== EORS Version 1.0 ===================================== Essential Oil Recipe Tracking Sysytem will: * Track essential oils and their properties, healing power, etc. * Track ailments and show the essential oils that are effective for them, and the appropriate application method(s). * Organize and track your favorite essential oil recipes by category. ------------ Requirements ------------ Any PC or compatible with an EGA or better monitor and printer attached. Supports all popular printers. ------------ Purpose ------------ As users of essential oils, we found that trying to create a mixture the same way a second time was trying, as we had no record of our previous accomplishment. Providing oil mixtures for massage therapists and using them for our animals, our home and ourselves - AND providing a consistant recipe each time! - required a method of tracking our recipes... and Essential Oils Recipe System was born. But we didn't stop there. In addition, EORS provides two detailed databases. The first one organizes oils by name and shows the common uses, methosd of application, etc. The second database shows conditions (ailments) and the oils commonly used for them. There is more! In addition to everything listed above, we also included general information about oils, described application methods and provided a table to show how common household items like shampoo or lotion can be enhanced by essential oils. We feel that the program provides a good solid base for the beginner and a welcome tool to all users of essential oils. We welcome your comments and suggestions - please feel free to contact us at the address listed below. Look for updates in the future and recipe packs (to add to the recipes YOU enter) available soon. Don't forget to backup your data files often! --------------- GETTING STARTED --------------- If you want to get started quickly, just follow these steps: FIRST - Review the following information. -------------- List of Files: -------------- The following files are data files for the system and must be backed up periodically. Remember, in the case of data loss, you lose only that data which has been entered since your last backup! Backup often... the few minutes it takes can save HOURS in trying to recreate data! Back up the following files to maintain a current backup: (from the OILS directory) *.DAT *.K* *.M* REGISTER.ME Registration Form This is a shareware program. Use this form to register. -------------------------------- How to Obtain Technical Support: -------------------------------- All users can obtain Technical Support by U.S. mail, addressed to: Keep It Simple Solutions, Inc. P.O. Box 771646 Coral Springs, FL 33077-1646 We will try our best to fully support unregistered users during their evaluation period, but we will give priority to registered users, if necessary. Registered users become eligible to receive free, Technical Support by telephone. ------------------ What SHAREWARE is: ------------------ Shareware describes a method of distributing copyrighted software in which a user is allowed to fully evaluate the software before purchasing it. After an evaluation period, the user is required to register the product if he decides to keep using it. Shareware distribution addresses all of the legitimate complaints that users have with commercial software distribution. * Shareware allows a user to fully evaluate a product, free of charge, in his or her home or business, *before* deciding to buy it. * Shareware programs can circulate freely on Bulletin Boards, through Shareware disk distributors, or through user groups. * Because Shareware distribution reduces the need to advertise, Shareware is less expensive than commercial software. * Shareware authors can often be more responsive to users' requests for help or bug fixes than large software companies. * Shareware software is never copy-protected. In short, Shareware is a user's dream come true. Users show their appreciation to developers for this extremely flexible distribution scheme by registering their software. Without user registrations Shareware software would gradually disappear. It is not sufficient to simply let the "other guy" pay the registration. You are the other guy's "other guy". Please register. ---------------------- What SHAREWARE is not: ---------------------- Shareware is not "free" software. Shareware is not Public Domain software. The fee that you may have paid to receive a Shareware program does not mean that the software has been paid for. This money was paid to a Shareware disk vendor, User Group, Bulletin Board Service or retailer to cover their cost of getting the program to you. Shareware software is paid for by registering your copy with the author. ------------ EORS History ------------ EORS has been under development for over one and a half years. While the development phase has evolved, several on-site beta tests have been on-going. Version 1 - released April, 1995. ------------------ The Future of EORS ------------------ We look forward to growing with a blossoming industry in aromatherapy and essential oils. Future releases of the EORS program will provide the user with the tools to compare and use the oils productively.
