- SysOp Information for StatMaster Shareware Version 2.1
-
- This information is provided for users and BBS system operators who wish
- to place copies of StatMaster onto Bulletin Board Systems (BBS's).
-
- StatMaster Desktop Demographics provides demographic, economic, and geo-
- graphic information for the entire U.S., its four census regions, nine divi-
- sions, 50 states, Washington DC, and every county, city and place (location
- with over 2,500 population in 1980) in a single state. The StatMaster data-
- base manager permits users to perform rankings, to display statistics, and to
- perform Boolean AND searches. Each state version contains an average of about
- 18,000 census statistics extracted from the 1988 County and City Data Book,
- published by the Bureau of the Census. 1990 data (approximately 50 new sta-
- tistics) from the "1990 Census of Population and Housing: P.L. 94-171" will
- be provided to registered users in October or September of 1991 at no addi-
- tional charge.
-
- There are 50 individual state versions of StatMaster. For this reason,
- it's important that user's are able to identify which state version they are
- working with. If you plan to ZIP this StatMaster archive, you will save space
- if you simply ZIP the existing self-extracting PAK file. We recommend a file-
- name format of "STAT-xx.ZIP." Substitute the two-letter state code of the
- state version being offered for "xx.".
-
- The INSTALL.BAT file and the .COM files on the shareware distribution disk
- are used to facilitate installation of the program from floppy to a hard
- drive. All that is required for your BBS is the STAT-xx.EXE file. To extract
- the files from STAT-xx.EXE, users must use the syntax: STAT-xx pathname.
-
- Additional state versions of StatMaster are available. All 50 state ver-
- sions are available for downloading from Doug's Farside BBS in Tempe, Arizona.
- This 24-hour BBS uses a U.S. Robotics HST-1440 modem and supports 9600 baud
- transfers. The BBS number is (602)897-8867. If you wish to leave comments
- or suggestions regarding StatMaster, leave a message for Ed Prestwood. For
- voice contact, please call CyberSoft direct at (602)491-0022.
