                       WHY FISORDERS V 1.2

   FISORDERS was created by the Vice President of Sales of an Inter-
   national Telemarketing and Direct Mail Order Company. Most of the
   programs available to Direct Mail Companies run in excess of $ 500
   and are beyond the economic reach of most small businesses.

   FISORDERS incorporates most of the features of the large, expensive
   programs, with a few twists of it's own, at a price that all small
   businesses can afford. This is achieved by the low advertising budget
   of Freshe Ideas Software, the "no-frills packaging", "direct to user"
   (no middle men) sales, and our policy of not accepting credit cards
           (Personal or business checks are always welcome)
   and utilizing the SHAREWARE principles of program distribution.

                            BACK UPS

    PLEASE!!!!!! Do back ups regularly. Your Data Is Only As Safe
                           As Your Back Ups.
    Recommended back up procedures. Do a back up every day on
    different tape/discs for one week. Take the last back up of the
    week off premises for safe keeping and re-use the others next
    week. At the end of the month you will have 4 or 5 off premises
    for safe keeping. Do another back up on new tape/discs for the
    end of the month. Take this one off premises also. Do one at
    the end of the year also. At the end of the year you should
    have 52 weekly back ups + 12 monthly back ups + 1 yearly back
    up off premises for a total of 65 sets of back ups. Next year
    you may use the 52 weekly back up sets over again, leaving 13
    back up sets in permanent storage.

    ***************************************************************

                         GETTING STARTED

       Type FISORDRS at the root directory to start FIS-ORDERS

       If you have a MicroSoft compatible MOUSE be sure to load
             the MOUSE driver before loading FIS-ORDERS

      From the Main Menu - select - TOOLS - then - RE-INDEX FILES
         (always re-index databases after installing programs)

    ***************************************************************

                           SET DEFAULTS

    Always enter the Company Name.

    If you choose to have the program enter your name and address
    on the top of forms - fill out the information requested next.
    If you choose to have the company info imprinted on forms -
    leave this section blank.

    If you wish to print long explanations (180 characters) with
    ITEMS (inventory) answer the next question 'Y'.
    In any case you will have the DESCRIPTION field which is 22
    character long.

    If you wish to charge State Sales Tax answer the next question
    'Y'. If you answer yes the program will instruct you to enter
    the sales tax amount required by your state and the state you
    usually charge tax for.

    Are you choosing COST or PRICE for inventory totals. Both
    systems are legal and the choice is up to you and your
    accountant. Cost = price you paid for merchandise. Price =
    price you charge for the merchandise.

    The program has 12 user defined fields associated with the
    customer file. The fields are for any information you
    desire. Defaults allows you to change the names of these
    fields for greater flexibility in recognizing what type of
    information you want to enter in these fields.

    You may choose to use a password for gaining entry to this pro-
    gram. If you so choose, the program will instruct you to type
    in the name of the old password - default - was none - just
    press the enter key. Then the program will request your
    password.  Type any word you choose - no spaces, letters and
    numbers only. The program will request that you type in the new
    password again, for verification. You will get 2 chances to do
    this correctly after which the program will quit and you will
    have to start over.

    If the program determines that you possess a color monitor, it
    will ask you if you wish to change the programs colors.
    The default settings are        - w+/b,r/w/w -
    "w+" white letters on a "b" blue background with a "w" white
    border. The center "r" red letters on a "w" white background
    are for the enhanced mode. You may change any of these colors
    and you may choose 3 different enhanced modes for varying
    effects.

                       F.I.S. ZIP CODES v 1.2

        Freshe Ideas Software - ZIP CODES v 1.2 is part of F.I.S.
        Orders v 1.2. However due to space constraints the authors
        have decided to place this module in it's own file. If you
        desire to look up zip codes by zip, city, or state then you
        must first download the program and install it with F.I.S.
        Orders v 1.2. To ease the expense of acquiring shareware we
        have decided to split up the cost by placing a value on each
        module, therefore you need not spend the additional money to
        run F.I.S. Orders v 1.2.
