                  *** Dispatcher v1.0 (DISP1.EXE) ***


        REQUIREMENTS:

        DISP1.EXE should not require more than 640K of RAM, a
        color monitor and appropriate disk-space for data files
        which will vary in size depending on your use. A mouse
        is recommended but not needed.

        Although Dispatcher is a DOS program, it can easily be
        run from within MS-Windows, and even 'installed' as an
        Icon. A small file called DISP.EXE accomplishes this
        assuming you have Windows 3.X and sufficient memory.
        NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE VBRUN200.DLL in order to run in the
        Windows environment. If VBRUN200.DLL was NOT with the
        program, please let us know. VBRUN200.DLL must be placed
        in your WINDOWS directory, or whatever directory your
        WINDOWS files are in.
        
        
        DESCRIPTION:

        Dispatcher is a program specifically written for Air Freight
        or Courier companies. It will create and maintain a client
        database from your input, create job-data files for each day
        in which you input your job data, do completely automated
        billing of your clients including printing of invoices and 
        envelopes, create reports of various types, trace jobs for you 
        based on a wide variety of search criterion and generally take
        care of everything from dispatching to keeping track of
        directly related expenses.

        It has a 'windows-like' interface with pop-up windows many
        of which can be resized, moved, etc. On-Line help from various
        areas, which may also be printed, many 'error-detection'
        routines to prevent you from inputting bad data, etc.

        INSTALLATION:
        
        An installation program has been included (INSTY.EXE) which
        will create a directory for you, and offer you the option
        to install for Windows use as well. If you expect to use the
        program from within the Windows environment, choose "Y" when
        asked about installing for Windows and the file VBRUN200.DLL
        will then be installed in the directory you specify...it
        MUST be in the directory where you have your WINDOWS program.
        
        The file INSTYSET.CFG is the setup file for INSTY. It must
        be present with the INSTY.EXE program or INSTY will abort.

        To run INSTY, from the DOS prompt, (when logged onto the drive
        and directory where INSTY.EXE and INSTY.CFG are) type 
        INSTY + [ENTER].
        
        The installation also checks for all files, for valid drive
        and directory names, etc., and will advise you if there is
        a problem.

        To start DISPATCHER, from DOS type DISP1 + [ENTER].
