~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
** INTRODUCTION *** 

	This is the information & registration file on the program 
	CJPOS.  CJPOS was created by Christopher J. Ryba to provide 
	an EXTREMELY user friendly point-of-sale program for my friend 
	Christopher Kilcoyne ; owner of Brookpark Certified Automotive 
	Service in Parma, Ohio. He wanted a program to print receipts 
	and save estimates at his shop. What evolved from simple 
	beginnings in August of 1992 is rather complete package for any 
	small business who can dedicate a CGA or VGA IBM compatible computer 
	with DOS 3.0 or higher to point of sale operation.  Any printer 
	that can do EPSON emulation will work to print receipts and reports
	(most printers do), HP Laserjet has been added to receipts.  
	Additional printers are being added to program to assure compatiblity.

	IF TODAY IS PAST 06/01/1994 THEN YOUR COPY IS PROBABLY VERY OUTDATED
	CONTACT CUYAHOGA COMPUTING OR BROOKPARK CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE TO OBTAIN
	A MORE RECENT VERSION. THIS PROGRAM NOT ONLY FOR AUTOMOTIVE USE - 
	BIKE SHOPS, GUITAR SHOPS & COMPUTER VENDORS ARE ALSO USING IT !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
** OPERATION ***
	In the Receipt Menu is included a screen saver to prevent monitor 
	burnout.  The F1 to F12 keys are struck to bring up different 
	departments. For BCAS of Parma these departments are Labor 
	(F1 is Labor, unless specified otherwise during setup), F2 is Exhaust,
	F3 is Emmisions, F4 is Brakes, F5 is Shocks & Struts, F6 is Springs,
	and so on to F12 for Miscellaneous. After pressing one of these F keys 
	a window pops up with various part discriptions.  For example, at BCAS 
	pressing F2 brings up the Exhaust Department with parts such as 
	mufflers, pipes, hangers, clamps, etc.  Using the cursor keys moves 
	a selection box to a part description.  Say we chose Mufflers, now
	striking the Enter key replaces the first window with a second window 
	listing the part numbers under that part description. For our example,
	we choose #1811G of Mufflers by using the cursor keys again to move
	the selection box. This exact part number for Mufflers has the price 
	to go with it. Finally the quantity is prompted at the bottom of the 
	window; the default value is 1.

	For the Labor department( F1 ), canned descriptions of labor are 
	loaded in with their hour quantity.  These descriptions can be added 
	to. The appropiate labor rate is then selected.

	The beauty of CJPOS is that it is a "build on the fly" program in 
	which a user can add part, part number, & labor descriptions as 
	they're needed.  Moving the cursor box to any line with "****" will 
	allow putting a new item into the appropiate window. A total of 70,400 
	unique part numbers can be loaded into the program in this manner for 
	departments F2 thru F12. If a labor type is not specified this 
	theoretical maximum rises to 76,800. A total of 99 "canned" labor 
	descriptions can loaded into the Labor department (F1).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OPERATION CONTINUED ...

	When a receipt is ready, it can be saved as an estimate, or finalized 
	as sold to Cash, Check, Visa/MC, Discover, American Express, or 
	Accounts Receivable. Also Line items can be deleted or changed if an 
	incorrect entry occured. Customer names & information are prompted 
	before the end of a sale.  This information can retrieved if a 
	sale re-occurs to the same customer at a later date by providing 1 to 
	3 letters of the last name.

	Back to the main menu, several other choices are presented.  Daily 
	sales can be viewed and expenses entered.  A daily printout sheet 
	of these items is provided.  Also the products sold for the day and 
	any variable period can be tallied, viewed, printed, or output to a 
	Lotus type ASCII delimited text file for a spreedsheet program.
	Inventory of part numbers is tracked and quantities altered in the 
	Inventory subprogram.  A printout of loaded part numbers can done for 
	every department; a cost sum of positive inventory counts is included.
	The Accounting subprogram allows for adjustment to any sales figures.  
	The program saves receipts in an ASCII text format that can be viewed 
	like this file.

JUST ADDED .........

     
****** For California, one of the two address lines can be used for your BAC #
	and individual labors assigned per mechanic/salesperson.

****** A routine for creating Purchase Orders has been finished. 
	Those with FAX/Modem software can fax the order after exit from
	CJPOS. The PO file can be faxed by your software by using a file 
	named PO####.DAT in the PO subdirectory of CJPOS. This PO##.DAT
	file is in ASCII format like this README.TXT file.

****** Non-taxable parts can sold by preceeding the primary description
	with a "+". For example, in the first screen of a department such
	as Exhaust having a description such as "+Exhaust Inspection" any 
	items loaded under this description will not be taxed.


*****  Your present customer base can be added to the customer file.

*****  Canadian GST IS supported by this program, as well as Provincal Tax !!

				INSTALLATION

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*****  TO INSTALL CJPOS:

			1.) Unzip onto a floppy drive or a hard drive directory
				the CJPOS1xx.ZIP file which contains a 
				SETUP.EXE program to create a blank part 
				number and other files and directories used 
				by the program. 

			2.) Run SETUP from the floppy or hard drive
				If installing from a location on your hard drive
				be sure to let SETUP install the directory.
				During SETUP department sizes are set as
				well as the prompts for customer info. At 
				BCAS the additional info prompts are Make &
				Model, Engine, Mileage, & VIN Code.
				A "demo" settings file has example names for
				each department and customer Info prompts.
				You can run a quick setup using these names
				and change parameters later after installation.  
				Putting a "/" before the customer prompt during
				setup or in 'Change Program Paramters'
				will prevent that field from being printed
				on receipts.
			
			3.) Type CJPOS to start

Included are example LEGALEST.TXT ,  LEGALRCP.TXT , WARRANTY.TXT, and SAVER.TXT
files used at BCAS. Examine these files and modify to your application.These 
files are ASCII format and using any text editor such as EDIT can modify them.
