-
- There are a few things you should be aware of before
- using FireFighter.
-
- The fire report does not take the place of the Provincial
- or State Fire report. This is a quick report for your own
- Departments use and information.
-
- Make sure you have the file Help.cfg in the same directory
- FF.exe is in.
-
- The program will automatically upper case for you.
- This means you can use upper or lower caps and have the
- program change everything for you or you can Capitalize as
- you want.
-
- The only place it will not capitalize for you is in the
- comment sections of your reports.
-
- When you start up the program by typing FF at the DOS prompt
- you will find some Sample records to experiment with.
-
- You will have to DELETE or RENAME all these records BEFORE
- you start to Enter any of your own.
-
- These records are:
-
- Practice.rpt ------ Practice Reports
- Fireinf.rpt ------ Fire Reports
- Maint.rpt ------ Maintenance Records
- Roster.dat ------ Roster Records
- Roster.ndx ------ Index of Roster Records
- RosterP.dat ------ Roster Printout
- Case2.rpt ------ Training Records
-
- If you want to keep these records as Samples then just run
- Sample.bat and it will rename the files for you.
-
-
- If you want to Delete these files then run GetRid.bat
- This batch file will delete the proper files so that you can
- start entering information.
-
- Now you can restart FF and start to enter your records.
-
- Start with the Roster Records and Enter the name of the Chief
- followed by the other ranks. Asst. Chief, Captain, etc.
-
- Make sure your spelling is correct as this could cause a
- problem with finding records later on.
-
- Be sure to fill the record using the same format as the
- Sample records.
-
- Please read the file FIREROST.DOC!
-
- Get all your records entered the way you like and after you
- order the Registered version of this program, you can copy the
- Registered Version right over the Unregistered Version.
-
- Please make a Backup copy of your directory first in case of
- mistakes.
-
- If you are using a Floppy disk A: or B: then make a diskcopy
- of the program before using it.
-
- Then you will have a spare copy if anything goes wrong.
-
- The FireFighter program will continue to be expanded and made as easy to work
- with as possible.
-
- If there are any serious bug reports in the version of FireFighter
- you have registered, you will receive an updated version as soon as possible.
