o Overview
Accounts Receivable is a state-of-the-art program that doggedly
tracks receivables.  The program prints invoices and statements
on standard 8 1/2 x 11 inch letterhead stock for use with window
envelopes.  Accounts Receivable has a short learning curve, on-
line help plus point-and-click capability.  Features include
customer templates, undo command, selective invoice display and
single-key account and aging summaries.  This version of Accounts
Receivable is distributed as shareware and is entirely supported
by registration fees.  Versions, customized to your requirements,
are available. 

o Hardware Requirements
Windows 3.1 and an EGA or VGA display are required.  While not
required, a mouse and printer are recommended.  Approximately
600KB of free disk space is required for initial installation. 
Accounts Receivable is supplied on one 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 inch disk. 
Before using the disk, make a backup copy and read this document.

o Test Drive
In a pinch, Accounts Receivable can run from a floppy drive. 
When operated from a floppy drive, Accounts Receivable operates
much slower than it would from a hard drive.  You can take
Accounts Receivable for a test drive without installing it on
your hard disk.  To take a test drive, perform the following:

1. Place the Accounts Receivable disk in drive A or B.
2. Select Run from the Windows Program Manager File Menu.  After
   the dialog box appears, type one of the following in the
   Command Line text box: A:AR or B:AR then select OK.
3. If all has gone well, the Accounts Receivable display will
   appear.  Accounts Receivable's on-line help is designed to be
   read as a manual.  Before you begin, read the help file
   sequentially.

o Installation
Accounts Receivable can be installed from Windows or the DOS
prompt.  Neither DOS nor Windows files are disturbed during
installation.  The distribution disk contains a DLL file plus
the following:

            AR.BIN         AR.INI          README.TXT
            AR.EXE         AR.TEM          TUTOR1.AR
            AR.HLP         INSTALL.EXE     TUTOR2.AR

To install Accounts Receivable from Windows, perform the
following:

1. Place the Accounts Receivable disk in drive A or B.
2. From the Windows Program Manager File Menu, select Run. 
3. After the dialog box appears type: A:INSTALL or B:INSTALL then
   select OK. 
4. After the Install display appears, follow the directions on
   the screen.

   Note: INSTALL.EXE and README.TXT are not installed or required
         after Accounts Receivable is installed.

To install Accounts Receivable from the DOS prompt, create a
directory, place the Accounts Receivable disk in a floppy drive
then use DOS commands to copy the files.  In the following
examples, if a directory or drive designator other than that
shown is used, substitute the correct directory name and/or drive
designator.  Note that the carriage return key is shown as ENTER. 
As an example, if Accounts Receivable is to be installed in a
directory named AR on drive C the following steps are
required:

1. From the root directory DOS C prompt type: MD\AR ENTER.
2. From the root directory DOS C prompt type: CD\AR ENTER.
3. Place the Accounts Receivable disk in drive A then type:
   COPY A:*.* ENTER.

   Note: While the example installs all files, INSTALL.EXE and
         README.TXT are not required after Accounts Receivable is
         installed.

After files have been copied from the DOS prompt, Accounts 
Receivable may be added to an existing group with Program Manager. 
The procedure shown adds Accounts Receivable to an existing Windows

2. From the Program Manger File Menu select New.
3. After the dialog box appears, choose Program Item then select
   OK.
4. In the Program Item Properties Description text box type:

   Accounts Receivable has been installed in the AR directory on
   drive C type: C:\AR\AR.EXE.

   directory where the program resides.  If Accounts Receivable
   is installed in the AR directory on drive C, type: C:\AR.
