				 **** INTRODUCTION **** 

	This is the information & registration file on the program CJPOS.  
	CJPOS was created by Christopher J. Ryba to provide an EXTREMELY user 
	friendly point-of-sale program for my friend Christopher Kilcoyne ; 
	owner of Brookpark Certified Automotive Service in Parma, Ohio. He 
	wanted a program to print receipts and save estimates at his shop. 
	What evolved from simple beginnings in August of 1992 is rather complete 
	package for any small business who can dedicate a CGA or VGA IBM 
	compatible computer with DOS 3.3 or higher to point of sale operation.  
	Default printer drivers include the EPSON character set and the HP 
	command set. These printers have been tested. A printer driver creator is 
	available to registered users. Print receipts and reports from any port 
	- LPT1 thru LPT4; COM1 thru COM4.  
	
	Additional default printers are being added to PRINTERS.DRV in future 
	editions to assure compatiblity.

	IF TODAY IS PAST 08/01/1995 THEN YOUR COPY IS PROBABLY VERY OUTDATED
	CONTACT CUYAHOGA COMPUTING OR BROOKPARK CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE TO OBTAIN
	A MORE RECENT VERSION. THIS PROGRAM NOT ONLY FOR AUTOMOTIVE USE - 
	BIKE SHOPS, GUITAR SHOPS, COMPUTER VENDORS, GUN SHOPS & PHOTOGRAPHERS 
	ARE ALSO USING IT !

	************************* OPERATION ***************************
	
	The list box on the left contains different departments. For BCAS 
	of Parma these departments are Services , Exhaust, Emmisions, Brakes, 
	Shocks & Struts, Springs, and so on till Miscellaneous. After 
	selecting one of these a window pops up with various categories.  
	For example, select the Exhaust Department with parts such as 
	mufflers, pipes, hangers, clamps, etc.  Using the cursor keys moves 
	a selection box to a part category.  Say we chose Mufflers, now
	striking the Enter key replaces the first window with a second window 
	listing the part numbers under that category. For our example,
	we choose #1811G of Mufflers by using the cursor keys again to move
	the selection box. This exact part number for Mufflers has the price 
	to go with it. Finally the quantity is prompted at the bottom of the 
	window; the default value is 1. If the SKU Number representing the 
	part is known that can be scanned using barcodes or typed. To switch 
	to that mode of entry select "Toggle SKU / Menu Entry" from the 'Main'
	menu.

	For the Services department, canned descriptions of labor are 
	loaded in with their hour quantity.  These descriptions can be added 
	to. The appropiate labor rate is then selected.

	The beauty of CJPOS is that it is a "build on the fly" program in 
	which a user can add part, part number, & labor descriptions as 
	they're needed.

				OPERATION CONTINUED ...

	When a receipt is ready, it can be saved as an estimate, or finalized 
	as TENDERING to Cash, Check, Visa/MC, Discover, American Express. 
	Also Line items can be deleted or changed if an 
	incorrect entry occured. Customer names & information are prompted 
	before the end of a sale.  This information can retrieved if a 
	sale re-occurs to the same customer at a later date by providing 
	several letters of the last name. Your present customers 
	can be added if you desire. The 'Customer' screen provides an opurtunity
	to review previous sales for customers as well.

	Back to the main menu, several other choices are presented.  Daily 
	sales (F8) can be viewed and expenses entered.  A daily printout sheet
	of these items is provided.  Also the products sold for the day and 
	any variable period can be tallied, viewed, printed, or output to a 
	ASCII space delimited or comma delimited text file for a spreedsheet 
	program. ( Select export mode in 'System Setup')

	Inventory of part numbers is tracked and quantities altered in the 
	Inventory Menu.  A printout of loaded part numbers can done for 
	every department; a cost sum of positive inventory counts is included.
	The program saves receipts in an DBF format that can be viewed 
	with a DBASE browse or other capable program (Excel, Quattro).

	*  One of the two address lines can be used for your BAC # in California
	and individual labors assigned per mechanic/salesperson. Anyone else 
	use the two address lines for other info. (Second Phone #, Etc.)

	*  If the LEGALEST.TXT or LEGALRCP.TXT are removed multiple types of 
	receipt "taglines" can chosen from when a receipt is created. You 
	could create different files for different occasions with this method.

	*  Canadian GST IS supported by this program, as well as Provincal Tax !!    
		 
	*   The first customer desription is normally a important criteria for 
	your customer database,i.e., Same person but different types of "Cars"
	or whatever. This 20 character field importance is changed in Setup.

							  access to certain program areas. The actual security
							  level is assigned in Employee Maint by using this
							  EMPLSTAT.DBF 
	 
				LABRATES - Labor or Services rates to be charged on invoices. The
							  file must have a minimum of 1 record. The DESCRIPTION
							  and the RATE per hour can be modified.

							  as the total available. The maximum is 14 types.
