- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- BillPower, one of the finest time & billing programs available at any
- price, is a fully integrated timekeeping, billing, and bookkeeping system
- that will produce a wide variety of reports, including income-expense
- statements, balance sheets and aged receivables reports. The user has
- wide latitude in designing billing formats that use any font and place
- transaction data wherever desired. The program will even print mailing
- labels and form letters to your clients.
-
- Unlike some other time & billing programs that provide "links" to
- external accounting software, BillPower has a General Ledger that is
- totally integrated into the rest of the program. This program can
- simultaneously log a transaction, adjust the client's balance and aged
- receivables accordingly, AND update the appropriate G/L accounts (other
- programs would require separate entries for some of these events, if they
- could handle them at all).
-
- BillPower is a "real time" system. No old fashioned batch postings or
- end-of-period close-outs are ever needed. Transaction detail is retained
- until the user (not the program) decides to omit it. In fact, old bills
- may even be re-prepared long after other systems would have "flushed" the
- needed informa tion from the data base. BillPower's user interface
- is among the friend liest on the market, and the program's flexibility
- and responsiveness cannot be beaten anywhere.
-
- Finally, BillPower may be used in conjunction with Chronilist, the
- ultimate scheduling software. When used together, these two programs
- will form the backbone of your office's business activity.
-
- On a network or stand-alone computer, BillPower will handle your time
- & billing needs like nothing else. Give it a thorough work-out.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- Note that a Windows 95 / Windows NT version of this program is also
- available.
-
- To install this program, extract the files from the archive into an empty
- directory (folder) on your hard disk and then run the SETUP.EXE program
- that will have been extracted. SETUP.EXE will cause the files to be
- copied to a hard disk directory of your choice, and then it will create a
- program group and icons.
-
-
- Note that this software is a living -- and evolving -- product. It is
- constantly being enhanced as a result of suggestions from users. If you
- have any ideas, don't hesitate to contact Integra Computing by phone
- (770-426-5735) or by e-mail (integracmp@aol.com).
-
-
- PRINTING THE MANUAL:
-
- The manual consists entirely of on-line help that is organized into
- several "chapters" referenced in its table of contents. Selecting "Help"
- at the pull-down menu will take you into the help system, where you may
- search for information by keyword. Pressing the F1 key almost anywhere
- within the program will take you directly to a section of the manual that
- discusses that section of the program.
-
- Printing the manual involves several steps. First, get into the help
- system ("Help" or F1). When there, select the "Contents" button. At the
- Contents page, select File | Print. After the Contents page has
- printed, select the first topic in the Contents listing. When that topic
- appears, select File | Print. After that topic prints, return to the
- Contents page and select the next topic and print it. Repeat this
- process until the entire manual has been printed.
-
-
- VIDEO PROBLEMS:
-
- -> If text on the screen or printer seems improperly sized or does not
- seem to fit neatly into the areas where it should, there are two possible
- reasons: One possibilty is that the video driver you're using may not
- be optimal. Some drivers seem to be incapable of producing text of a
- selected font at the correct size, especially at the higher resolutions.
- If you have a choice between a driver that uses "large fonts" and one
- that uses "small fonts", choose the latter. Video drivers are selected
- in the Windows "Setup" program (usually found in the "Main" group in the
- Program Manager). Another possible cause of poorly fitting text is that
- you may be either missing some font files or using font files that have
- been altered by other software. This program relies upon the following
- ORIGINAL fonts supplied by Microsoft Windows: Arial, Modern, and Courier
- New. If they seem to be unavailable, they may be somewhere on your hard
- disk, but not installed. Try using the Windows "Fonts" routine (found
- in the "Control Panel") to find and install (or add) them.
-
- -> If vertical and horizontal scroll bars appear when the program loads,
- your window borders may be too wide to allow enough space for this
- program's screens to display in full. Reduce the size of your window
- borders to 1 by running the "Desktop" program (usually found in "Control
- Panel" group in Windows' Program Manager).
-
- -> If gibberish appears anywhere in the program, the problem is that the
- video driver you are using cannot produce all the fonts used by the
- program. Try another driver. Video drivers are selected in the Windows
- "Setup" program (usually found in the "Main" group in the Program
- Manager).
-
-
- PRINTER PROBLEMS:
-
- -> If fonts appear to be improperly sized, or if gibberish appears on the
- printout, make sure that the printer driver that you have installed into
- Windows is specifically matched to your EXACT printer model and that the
- driver was provided by the printer manufacturer, not Microsoft. A
- "close" match or "emulation" may not be good enough, and Microsoft's
- drivers are generally less reliable than those from printer
- manufacturers. If you must use Microsoft drivers, consider using one for
- a related printer. If that doesn't work, try one for an earlier model in
- the same manufacturer's line (for instance, if you have an HP LaseJet 4,
- you might get the results you desire by using a LaserJet II or LaserJet
- III driver). This program does nothing fancy with your printer. It
- relies ENTIRELY upon Windows to pass printing instructions through the
- driver to the printer. So why do other programs appear to work with your
- printer and the driver you are currently using? Perhaps because those
- programs don't rely upon the same Arial and Courier New fonts that this
- program does. Or perhaps the other programs are somehow bypassing
- Windows to print directly to the printer. Be assured that if your
- Windows printer driver is a good match for your printer, this program's
- output will be fine.
