These two programs integrate to give you a complete Windows based system for managing the real estate agents most time consuming tasks.... $135.00 BLINC TOOLKIT The standard version of BLINC will handle a limited number of records. This limitation is dependent on the amount of memory you have installed in your computer. A system with 4 megabytes of memory will handle approximately 3,000 records in each data file. The BLINC toolkit will allow you to handle an unlimited number of records. With Toolkit you can also merge multiple files and purge duplicate records. Toolkit includes a report generator, allowing you to define your own label formats and report layouts. The BLINC Toolkit is required for using BLINC in a multi-user mode on a network. You may install BLINC on a network in a single user configuration, but no internal safeguards are in place to protect your data should two people access it simultaneously. A real bargain for just $79.95. The features included in Toolkit would cost you hundreds of dollars with other programs. DUPFINDER Dupfinder is designed to allow you to find those annoying near match names that are in your list. It builds an index to records based on similar sounding names and addresses and allows you to choose whether to delete or keep these names. Dupfinder is an excellent add-on to BLINC for those who are involved in serious mailing list maintenance. THE TOTAL MAILING LIST MANAGER FOR DOS If you have machines in your organization which are not able to run Windows, The Total Mailing List Manager for DOS will allow you to do file maintenance on BLINC files and print labels and reports. TMLM for DOS does not support some of the advanced features of BLINC. It's price is $75.00. GET THE WORKS & SAVE $234.85. When you register INVOICE - IT, you can get Sales Analysis, BLINC, Zip Finder ii, Dup Finder, Toolkit, and 3,000 names from the category of your choice for the low price of $235.00. That is a savings of $234.85 from the individual price and less than you'd pay for just renting the names from most list houses. NOTES ON USING THE PROGRAM The operation of INVOICE-IT is fairly straight forward, however here are a few notes regarding system use. The File - Save option creates a file, INVOICES.TXT in ASCII, comma delimited format. Each new invoice is added to this file. You can import this file into DBASE, LOTUS, PARADOX, EXCEL, etc. for further analysis using the standard file import utilities in each of these programs. The standard edition of INVOICE-IT does not have DDE links enabled to other packages to allow you to automatically retrieve customer names and product descriptions. When used with the Total Business Solution, these functions will allow you to create multiple invoices much more quickly. The discount and shipping fields accept either a fixed dollar amount or a percentage. If you enter a percentage, enter 10% with the trailing percent sign and the program will calculate the percentage figure for you. If you make further changes on the face of the invoice however, you will need to re-enter the percentage in order for the program to calculate it for you. The program allows you to build a CUSTOMER.TXT and PRODUCTS.TXT file for easy fill in of invoices. Each of thes files are in ASCII, comma delimited. You may use either quotations around each field, or just separate them with commas. To edit the files and add your own information, retrieve each file into NOTEPAD of EDIT and make the changes. The format of the CUSTOMER.TXT file is as follows CUSTOMER #,CUSTOMER NAME, ADDRESS1, ADDRESS 2, CITY, STATE, ZIP CODE Note that each record contains 7 fields. If you don't have a peice of information you must still place commas in the field postion. The following layout is also acceptable. "CUSTOMER #","CUSTOMER NAME","ADDRESS 1"," ","CITY","STATE","ZIP CODE" The names may be entered in any order. The program will sort them for you. In order for individuals names to be sorted properly, you should enter them in the format, LASTNAME; FIRST NAME (NOTE: there is a semi-colon and a space after the last name). The print invoice routine will then swap the name on the semi-colon when printing. The PRODUCTS.TXT file contains 5 fields: PART #, PRODUCT DESCRIPTION, COST, SELL, CATEGORY Like the Customer file, each record must contain 5 fields, each separated by commas. The category fields is not used by the shareware INVOICE-IT version. The registered copy uses this field for the sales analysis feature. If you don't have this information, you should enter zeroes or empty quotes in the field. The category field is used to identify the "kind" of product sold, or to tie into the General ledger program. The sample PRODUCTS.TXT file shows General Ledger account numbers. A field in the Company setup screen allows you to indicate whether your state requires collecting sales tax on shipping charges. This is a Yes / No field. The Company Setup Screen allows you to specify a default note to appear on the bottom of each invoice. This can be overridden at any time with another message. The Invoice History Window allows you to retrieve sales invoices which were written previously. You can then reprint them if you'd like. The cut and paste function in the Edit menu allows you to send an invoice out to the Windows clipboard or retrieve a description from another application. The Print Form function allows you to "screen print" a small invoice on plain paper. A Sales Journal Report has been added. This report allows you to print either all invoices or selected invoices according to your criteria. The Quick Cost Analysis gives you a quick snapshot of the cost of the items on an invoice from the figures in the PRODUCTS.TXT file. Items which are not found in the products file are ignored, so you should take care to double check your figures. We appreciate your feedback.
