          I.    DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

                THIS SOFTWARE ("WJS") IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY
          WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
          NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE CONCERNING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR

          HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CREATION, PRODUCTION, OR DELIVERY OF
          THIS SOFTWARE SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR
          INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
          THIS SOFTWARE EVEN IF ANGEL BABUDRO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
          POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR CLAIMS.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
          AUTHOR'S LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES EVER EXCEED THE PRICE PAID FOR
          THE LICENSE TO USE WJS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM.  THE
          PERSON USING WJS BEARS ALL RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
          OF THE SOFTWARE.
                Some States do not allow the exclusion of the limit of

          limitation may not apply to you.
                This agreement shall be governed by the State of Colorado

          distribution of What Job Summary?:
                          _________________

                1. WJS is being distributed as Shareware; it is not free. 
          You are granted a limited license to use WJS for an evaluation
          period of up to 60 days, to determine if it suits your needs. 
          Any other use of WJS or use past this period requires
          registration.



                                         -1-

                2. You may keep as many backup copies of WJS as you wish. 
          The Registered Edition is limited to simultaneous use on the
          number of computers indicated on the Use License.  The
          Unregistered Edition may be used on any number of computers for
          the purpose of evaluation as specified in paragraph (1).

                3. All files originally distributed as part of the package
          (including this notice) must be included without modification. 
          The complete list of files can be found in the PACKING.LST file
          which is part of this package.  The Registered Edition CONFIG.WJS
          file is NOT to be distributed.

                4. Individual users may freely copy this disk and share it
          with friends, family, and acquaintances.  Non-profit groups
          (including user groups and BBSs) may distribute copies of this
          disk.  A fee of no more than $5 may be charged to cover disk
          copying costs.  If the files on this disk have dates more than a
          year old please contact the author for a free update to the
          current version.

                5. Disk distributors and dealers must have written
          permission before selling copies of this software.  When you
          contact me you will receive a free copy of the latest version and
          you will be placed on my mailing list to receive updates as they
          are released.  Disk distributors may charge no more than $10 per
          disk for copies of this software.  If, as a distributor, you
          supply copies to other resellers, the end price to the user may
          not exceed $10.

                6. You must obtain written permission prior to distribution
          as part of any "bundled" packages (e.g., CD-ROM, placing on new
          computer systems, etc.).  Such permission is often granted; the
          author is a nice guy - please write to him with your ideas.

                7. If the software is packaged for retail sale the
          packaging must explain that the software is Shareware, that the
          purchaser is receiving a trial version, and that use beyond the
          trial period requires registration with the author.

                8. You must immediately stop selling/distributing copies of
          this software upon notice from the author.

          IV.   TECHNICAL SUPPORT (HOW TO REACH ME)

                If you have questions or need help, just send a note to me
          through the mail or a BBS listed below.  Registered users, those
          intending to register within 30 days, vendors, and sysops may
          contact me via telephone as well.  Sysops and shareware vendors
          please see VENDOR.DOC for distribution information.

                Mail        Angel Babudro, "Organic Computer Wizardry",

                Phone       (303) 527-6756 Tue-Sat 10am-6pm Mountain Time

                I am normally available by phone during the hours stated
          above.  If you get the answering machine please leave a message. 
          Unregistered users: please try again later; I am happy to answer
          your questions but I cannot afford to pay for the call.

                Official Distribution Bulletin Boards

                My software packages are "free" downloads on the BBSs
          listed below - you need not subscribe to download my shareware
          (although other files or functions may require subscription). 
          You may send questions or comments to me on The Researcher's BBS
          and Expanding Horizons - address your comments to "Angelo
          Babudro" (I use "Angelo" to avoid gender confusion, and I'm used
          to both names anyway).  Scan for the file name WJS*.* to locate
          the latest version.

                       This is my local BBS so it is the one I most often
                       update and check for messages.  Log on to this board
                       with the name "OC WIZ" and the password "WHAT" -
                       this will bypass the usual questionnaire so you can
                       begin downloading right away.  Next, enter "J;3" to
                       join conference #3, then type "F" to view the list

          V.    ORDERING METHODS, AND REGISTRATION FEES

                Years of effort have gone into this software in the hopes
          that many people will be willing to pay for a small part of the
          development.  Kindly remember that if you use this software past
          the 60-day trial period you are asked to pay the registration
          fee.

                A. Benefits of Registration

                The Shareware (unregistered) version of WJS is fully
          functional so that you may try all of its features and know
          exactly for what you are paying.  Past the 60-day evaluation
          period WJS will display reminders to register your copy or
          discontinue use of the software, but it will always continue to
          be fully functional.

                When you register you have the following benefits:

                -  You get the latest version direct from the author with
                   automated installation and bonus Shareware & Freeware.
                -  You get a complete introductory course in using
                   computers for business which includes sections on
                   hardware, software, and DOS in addition to WJS.



                                         -4-














                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
          



                -  Telephone support - you can talk to the software author
                   who can help you right away and is committed to making
                   the software work well for you.
                -  Updates are free - get them from a local BBS or vendor. 
                   As new features are added, WJS' price is sometimes
                   adjusted to reflect the dramatic increase in its value
                   to users.  By registering now, you pay the current (low)
                   price and are entitled to the higher-priced features.
                -  You can subscribe to receive new versions as soon as
                   they are released so you will always have the latest
                   features and enhancements.
                -  The Shareware License display and Unregistered Edition
                   delay go away.
                -  It rewards the author for thousands of hours of software
                   development done without pay and from which you are
                   deriving benefit.  It's the right thing to do and will
                   surely come back to you in blessings & good karma.

                B. How To Order

                Send cash, check, or money order in U.S. funds; Canadian
          cheques or foreign cash are also acceptable.  No Purchase Orders
          please; instead use the invoice (below) and, since you are and
          have been using the Unregistered Edition, consider it the case
          that you are paying for delivered merchandise.

                If you prefer to use a credit card, you can order WJS from
          Public (software) Library with your MC, Visa, AmEx, or Discover
          card by calling 800-242-4PsL (from overseas: 713-524-6394) or by
          FAX to 713-524-6398 or by CompuServe to 71355,470.  THESE NUMBERS
          ARE FOR ORDERING ONLY.  I CANNOT be reached at those numbers.  To
          contact me for information about dealer pricing, volume
          discounts, site licensing, the status of shipment of the product,
          the latest version number, or for technical information, call

          VI.   WHAT DOES THIS SOFTWARE DO?

                What Job Summary? is a tool to help you keep track of jobs
                _________________
          for which you are contracted or sub-contracted.  WJS gives you an
          easy way to track summary information about your jobs; the
                            _______
          estimating and details are left entirely up to you.  WJS then
          provides reports for the banker and bonding company as well as to
          help analyze your work load.

                WJS can track up to 2.6 million jobs per year, which is a
          limit of the numbering system used; your practical limit will be
          determined by your computer speed & hard disk capacity and will
          probably be in the under-10,000-jobs-per-year range.  For each of
          these jobs WJS has a place to enter the relevant bid, cost, and
          income figures - somewhat like a spreadsheet.  Since WJS is not
          an estimating or billing package, it seems reasonable to assume
          that you will have total amounts calculated from another
          programme (or by hand).  For this reason, WJS does not attempt to
          duplicate the functions of these other software packages, but
          rather it takes totals and puts them all neatly in one place and
          prints reports which are probably not available in your other
          software packages.

                The function keys are the same as the Timberline estimating
          package.  Whether or not you are familiar with Timberline
          estimating, keep an eye on the bottom of the screen for function
          key definitions.


          VII.  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

                Any PC-compatible computer with at least 350k of free RAM
          should work fine, however a 286 or better and a hard disk are
          preferred since WJS is a data base application which inherently
          involves a lot of disk access.

                WJS has been tested on MS-DOS 3.3, 5.0, and 6.2.  It should
          work properly under PC-DOS or MS-DOS version 3.1 or later
          although I recommend only 3.3 and 5.0 be used -- it's worth the
          money to upgrade.  WJS's operating speed is quite acceptable on
          an 8MHz 80286 computer.  You will need about 240k of disk space
          for WJS and its necessary files plus disk space for the
          information you will enter.  Any dot matrix printer should work
          fine.  If yours isn't on the list, try one of those that are -
          most use similar codes, the biggest variant being font codes.  If
          your printer won't work with what is there, please tell me and
          your registered edition (or update) will include your printer.

                                         -8-














                                  What Job Summary?

                Theoretically, WJS can accommodate 2.6 million jobs per
          year and each job can have up to ten lines.  WJS uses 109 bytes
          per line of data, so you will need 11k to 107k of storage per 100
          jobs entered depending on the number of lines used.  Data base
          applications, such as this one, tend to access the disk
          frequently so it is much better to use a hard disk, but WJS can
          run on a floppy.  In its minimum configuration, WJS requires
          about 216k of storage, so a 360k floppy disk will have room for
          about 1,300 lines of data.

                A.  Using With MS Windows

                WJS can be run as a DOS application under Windows 3.1
          although it is not a Windows application (in other words, it runs
          the same in DOS or Windows and you cannot use any of Windows'
          features with WJS, such as the clip-board).  If you don't use
          Windows or use it only occasionally (as I do), then use WJS from
          DOS since it will work faster without Windows' overhead.  If you
          normally have Windows loaded, however, then go ahead and set up
          an icon for WJS.  To do this, highlight or create a group (i.e.,
          pop open a group's window or use the File/New option to create a
          new group), then use File/New to create a program item and define
          it as C:\WJS\WJS.EXE (or whatever directory you are using) and
          set the data directory to C:\WJS or some other, as you desire.

                B.  Using With 4DOS

                WJS has been tested with 4DOS versions 4.0 and 5.0.  There
          are no special needs or considerations.


          VIII. RUNNING What Job Summary? FOR THE FIRST TIME

              If you received your copy of WJS on disk it has an
          installation programme on it.  Using INSTALL is faster than
          setting up manually, and it won't change your AutoExec or CONFIG,
          so I'd suggest:

                1. Put the floppy in a drive
                2. Type "d:INSTALL" where "d:" is your drive (e.g., "A:")

                INSTALL is not necessary, however.  If you have received
          WJS from a bulletin board then you have installed it by unpacking
          the archive.  I strongly suggest that you put the software in a
          directory of its own (for example, C:\WJS).  You can run the
          package from any directory since data files will be created if


                                         -9-

          they are not present.  In this way you can also keep more than
          one set of data files by using different directories.


                A.  Documentation Files

                If you have WordPerfect 5, just load WJS.WP.  Instructions
          for re-formatting are in a comment at the top of the document. 
          If you don't have WordPerfect 5 or a way to convert the WJS.WP
          file to your word processor, then use WJS.TXT which is an ASCII
          file generated from WordPerfect for a "standard printer."  Your
          printer should be set to CR/CR (carriage return does NOT produce
          a line feed), which is the most common setting.  If you see
          double printing of titles change this setting.

                After INSTALL is finished you can type "WJS" to start What
                                                                      ____
          Job Summary?.  The "WJS" command runs a batch file which merely
          ____________
          changes to the proper drive & directory then runs WJS.  You can
          delete this file if you are using a menu or would rather type the
          commands yourself.

                B.  Using the Menus

                WJS employs the familiar, standard 2-dimensional pull-down
          menu system.  There is a horizontal menu of choices -- File, Data
          Entry, etc.  Under each of the horizontal choices is a menu of
          functions pertaining to that item -- it is a two-dimensional menu,
          in other words.

                There are three ways to select an item from the menu:

                1.  Press the letter which is highlighted in the option
                    description
                2.  Use the Up/Down/Right/Left arrows to highlight the
                    option you want then press ENTER (a.k.a. RETURN or CR)
                3.  Use a mouse to select the option you want (click with
                    the left button)

                Some sub-menus (such as the Help Index) do not have
          highlighted options.  On these menus you must use the arrow keys
          to highlight your choice then press ENTER.

                If you want to cancel an operation you selected, just press
          the Esc ("Escape") key.

                C.  Quick Start

                Type "WJS" and press ENTER; press "P" (Preferences) and go
          down the list of choices, setting each screen as you see fit. 
          There is on-line help which can be accessed by pressing the F1
          key while on any data entry screen or via the "Help" menu's
          "Index" option.


          IX.   FILE MANAGEMENT AND EXIT

                The choices under the File menu have to do with your system
          set-up, file management, and ending the programme.

                A.  Year-end Close-out

                The purpose of this function is to remove jobs history from
          the files, thus freeing up disk space.  When you select this
          option you a window will open with three fields to fill in:

                1.  Cut-off year (assumes current year minus 2) - All data
                    during or before this year will be erased from the
                    file.

                2.  Keep pending jobs on file - If you answer "Y" (Yes)
                    then jobs with a "P" (pending) status will be kept on
                    file, regardless of their bid date.

                3.  Report to printer - If you answer "Y" (Yes) then all
                    jobs which are removed from the file will be printed. 
                    An audit trail, if you will.

                B.  Rebuild Indices

                This function is provided in the event you ever have a
          power outage or for some other reason the index files become
          damaged.  If you notice anything strange -- like dates are in the
          wrong order, records are mysteriously missing, etc. -- just
          rebuild the indices and they'll probably go away.

                C.  Making Back-up Copies of Your Files

                Your computer is a machine and one day it will probably
          break down.  File/Back-up protects your information by making a
          copy of it on another disk.



                                         -11-














                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
          



                You must have a formatted disk ready.  You can use the same
          back-up disk over and over again (the new copy will over-write
          the old one), but it is a good idea to alternate at least three
          back-up copies just in case you have a problem while creating a
          back-up, in which case you have two copies on which you may rely. 
          When the work you've done since your last back-up would be heart-
          breaking to lose, it's time to make another back-up.

                Using compression software packs more information in less
          space (so you can use fewer floppy disks) but requires more
          memory (RAM).  The compression software WJS is programmed to use
          and their memory requirements are as follows:

                ARJ 2.41 needs at least 300k free
                LHARC 2.13 needs at least 189k free
                PKZip 2.04g needs at least 157k free

                After you select File/Back-up a summary window pops open
          and a menu of methods will be presented, starting with "DOS Copy"
          and including each compression technique for which you have
          enough free memory.  Once you choose a method you are asked to
          enter the back-up destination (which is typically a floppy disk
          drive, such as A:, but you may decide to back-up to another hard
          disk, a network drive, etc.).  All WJS data files will then be
          backed-up to the destination disk and directory using the method
          shown in the window.

                D.  Restoring Files from a Back-up Copy

                If you ever need to recover data files from a floppy disk
          you made using the File/Back-up command (above), just place the
          floppy disk in its drive and select File/Restore.  The first
          thing you will be asked is to specify the disk drive from which
          to restore files.  Once you highlight a drive and press ENTER the
          list of files on that disk will be shown - individual data files
          as well as any compressed archives.  Highlight each file you wish
          to restore and press the SpaceBar key; you will see an arrow
          appear next to each file as it is selected.  If you change your
          mind, just press the SpaceBar again and the arrow will go away,
          indicating that the file will not be restored.  Alternately, you
          may use the mouse and click the left button instead of using the
          arrow keys and SpaceBar.

                Once you have selected all the files you wish to restore
          press the ENTER key or click on the "Ok" button with a mouse.

          Each file will be copied into the current data directory.2  Any
          compressed archives being restored will automatically be
          expanded.

                E.  Formatting Floppy Disks

                This option is for those times when you have decided to
          make a back-up copy of your data but don't have a formatted disk
          handy or want to re-format a disk to check for any bad spots. 
          File/Format Floppies lets you format a floppy disk to your
          computer's standard density without exiting WJS.  By "standard
          density" I mean that if you have a high density drive you can
          only format high density disks (in other words, WJS doesn't pass
          any parameters to DOS FORMAT).  There is an exception to this:

                If you have What Floppy Format? (WFF.EXE) available
          somewhere in your DOS search path, WJS will automatically access
          it for formatting floppy disks so you can format any kind of disk
          using FDFORMAT.  (You will receive a complimentary copy of the
          latest version of WFF with your WJS registration.  FDFORMAT is a
          Freeware product by another author and can be found on my support
          BBSs.)


          X.    DATA ENTRY ("JOBS")

                The Jobs menu of What Job Summary? lets you enter the data
                                 _________________
          pertaining to your jobs.  There are two data entry screens:

                1.  General job information (number, name, bid amount,
                    estimated cost, and bid due date)
                2.  Cost figures (bid amount, original estimated cost, cost
                    to date, billed to date, revised estimated cost)

                NOTE:  You must first create a job on the General
                screen before you may access it on the Cost Figures
                screen.  New jobs can only be added on the General
                screen.


                              
          ____________________

               2  The directory from which WJS is started is considered the
          data  directory -  it is where  the data  files are  stored.  For
          example, if you are in the C:\WJS\DATA directory and you  run WJS
          from  there, then files will  be created in,  backed-up from, and
          restored to this directory.

                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
          



                Notice the available function keys at the bottom of the
                screen: F10 always saves and ends the current operation
                (e.g., if you are entering a line of information for a job,
                pressing F10 will save the line and end data entry for that
                job).  F2 always cancels the current operation without
                saving (old values are restored) (e.g., if you are entering
                changes to a line and press F2 the old data for the line
                will be restored and data entry for that job will be
                ended).

                A.  Entering New Jobs

                While on the General screen press the Ins (insert) key. 
          The cursor will "jump" to the bottom of the window and wait for
          you to start entering information.  WJS will attempt to guess the
          next job number based on the default job letter (defined on the
          Preferences/Fiscal Year screen), the current fiscal year (defined
          on the Preferences/Fiscal Year screen), and the last job number
          on file for that letter & fiscal year.  Press ENTER after each
          item you enter.  Use the up and down arrow keys to move between
          the fields and the right/left arrows to move around within a
          field.

                B.  Editing Existing Jobs

                To change information on either the General Info or Costs
          screen just highlight the line you want to change and press
          ENTER.  You can then change anything on that line except for the
          job number (Job numbers are key items in the files and can't be
          changed).  If you must change a job number you will have to
          delete and re-enter the information.

                C.  Job Codes

                Each job must have a unique identification code.  Each job
          code may have one to ten lines of information.  Each line may
          have it's own status, dollar amount, and bid due date.  This
          allows you to group separate elements of a similar job together
          under one job code.  For example, let's say you are bidding on a
          job that will take several years to complete and has been split
          into four phases; you are bidding separately on each phase.  When
          you enter the job you can put a "Phase I" line, a "Phase II",
          line, etc. and enter the dollar amounts, status, and bid date for
          each phase.  If you get two of the bids just mark those two
          phases as "Y" (yes) and the other two as "N" (no).



                                         -14-














                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
          



                    1.        The format of a Job Code
                              ________________________

                    Job codes are entered in the format "A#####" where "A"
                is a letter used to segregate jobs (perhaps different
                departments in your organization, different companies owned
                by a larger corporation, or for different types of jobs)
                and "#####" is a job number from 00000 to 99999.  I
                recommend that you use the format "Ayy###" where "yy" is a
                two-digit year, or the format "Ay####" where "y" is a one-
                digit year.

                    Using this format of job numbering gives WJS a simple
                but effective and flexible means to separate jobs.  If you
                have no need to separate your jobs just make them all one
                letter such as "A" or the first letter of your name.

                    When you add new jobs WJS will automatically supply the
                next available job code based on the default job letter &
                fiscal year entered on the Preferences/Fiscal Year screen. 
                You can type over this with a new job code as necessary.

                    2.        How Many Jobs Can I Track?
                              __________________________

                    The filing system used by WJS can store 5.5 million
                records per file.  Since each line is a record this gives
                WJS a theoretical limit of 5.5 million lines of job
                information, although even the fastest PC would have
                trouble with a file that large.  (See System Requirements,
                above, for disk storage requirements.)

                    Practically speaking, then, WJS is unlimited except by
                your hard disk and computer speed.  The rule of "Ayy###"
                works well, but if you have more than 26,000 jobs per year
                or if you need to have more than 1,000 jobs under a letter
                then you can make up your own numbering scheme.  A good
                alternative would be to use a single digit year (Ay#### -
                for example, J21001 for department J, year 1992, job #1001)
                which would give you 260,000 jobs per year for ten years. 
                Whatever numbering scheme you use, remember that each job
                must have a unique code.

                D.  Dollar Amounts

                Enter currency figures without any symbols, such as commas. 
          The only non-numeric character allowed is a period/decimal point.



                                         -15-

                                  _________________
          



                E.  Bid Date

                Enter the bid date in the form "mmddyyyy" (month/day/year). 
          For example, "01011992" is Jan. 1, 1992.  The slashes are entered
          for you.  Be sure to fill in all numbers, even zeros -- "1192"
          won't work for 1/1/92 -- enter "010192" instead.


          XI.   REPORTS

                Rather than describing each report here, it makes more
          sense for you to print a sample of each.  Just highlight the one
          you want, follow the instructions on the screen.  The Status
          Report has a sub-menu from which you must choose one or more
          report options.  The Work On-hand/Completed report has a sub-menu
          for which one item must be chosen.

                One note: I have chosen to use the extended graphics
          characters (ASCII 127-254) rather than use the rather crude
          vertical bars (|), plus signs, etc. for the reports.  Most
          printers made after 1982 are able to print these characters and
          it allows WJS to print nicer looking reports.  If you experience
          problems (e.g., you see a line of italic Ms or Ds where a
          horizontal line should be) look in your printer's manual for a
          Character Set 1 or 2 setting, which may be a DIP switch or a
          front panel menu setting, and change it.  If you have trouble you
          can call me and I'll try to help.


          XII.  PREFERENCES

                The Preferences menu contains options which help you
          customize the operation of WJS and set necessary parameters, such
          as the type of printer you have.  Please check each Preferences
          screen before making full use of WJS, otherwise something might
          seem wrong with the software whereas it is due to the set of
          conditions under which WJS is operating.

                A.  Settings: Back-up Method, Country, etc.

                Under the File menu is an option which allows you to back-
          up & restore your data to/from other disks for safety.  These
          operations will use the DOS COPY command unless you use this
          option to change it.

                You will see a menu of four choices of methods to use when
          backing-up and restoring:  DOS COPY (the default), ARJ, LHARC, or

                                         -16-














                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
          



          PKZIP.  In order to use ARJ, LHARC, or PKZIP compression software
          you must have the compression programme available in your DOS
          PATH.  In addition, you will also need enough free memory (RAM)
          to run both WJS and the compression software.

                B.  Country setting

                WJS does not yet make use of this setting, but I have put
          it in the menus for near-future use.

                C.  Fiscal Year

                To give you a report of your job activity for your
          company's fiscal year, WJS needs to know the beginning month of
          your fiscal year.  Select Preferences/Fiscal Year and enter the
          beginning month number (1 for January, 2 for February, etc.). 
          Highlight the "Ok" button and press ENTER or just press F10
          (function keys are shown at the bottom of the screen).

                WJS assumes you have a wide-carriage (15-inch) printer for
          the Work On-hand/In progress reports since it is a 200+ column
          report.  If you have a 10-inch (narrow carriage) printer you
          won't be able to print the Work reports.  On a laser printer you
          can manually set the printer for landscape mode and a small font
          like Line Printer.

                D.  Defining your Printers

                Before you can print anything you will have to tell WJS
          which printer you will use.  WJS can print reports on PCL lasers
          or dot matrix printers, although the Work On-hand/Completed
          reports are so wide that they require 15-inch paper or a very,
          very tiny font.  Until you define your printer(s) and font(s)
          there will be a flashing message at the bottom of the screen and
          you will not be able to print anything.

                The Printer definition window shows the current settings. 
          Use the arrow keys to move around, and press the F3 key to change
          anything.  For example, to set your printer move the cursor down
          to that line then press F3 and a menu of choices will appear. 
          Highlight your printer (or one compatible with it) and press
          ENTER.  Then move down to the font definition and press F3 again. 
          Highlight your font selection and press ENTER.  When you are
          finished, highlight the "Ok" button and press ENTER. 
          Alternately, you can press F7 to save the screen and exit.

                    1.        Default Directory for Laser Printer Soft
                              ________________________________________
                              Fonts
                              _____

                    If you define a laser printer you can set a default
                soft font directory by highlighting this field and pressing
                F3.  Enter the directory name on your hard disk (e.g.,
                "D:\VENTURA\") which contains your soft fonts.  WJS will
                check to see if the directory name you entered is valid and
                if it exists, and will inform you if not.  Then, when you
                set fonts for printing, you can choose the "Soft font"
                option and select from your fonts on disk.


          XIII. HELP

                The Help menu has two options:  About and Index.  "About"
          gives some information about the programme and free memory. 
          Index gives a menu from which you may choose a topic and press
          ENTER, whereupon a helpful window of information will appear.  :) 
          It's a handy (albeit brief) on-line manual.


          XIV.  PROBLEMS AND ERROR MESSAGES

                WJS tries to handle most problems without any attention
          from you, however, there are times when an error happens which
          WJS is unable to handle.  There are three types of errors which
          you may experience:

                1.  Condition error - this is a problem due to an operating
                    condition.  Examples of this type of error are if a
                    printer is off-line when you try to print or if a file
                    is locked by another user on a network.  WJS will
                    report the condition in a window and, once you press
                    ENTER or click the "Ok" button WJS will continue
                    operating.

                2.  File error - these problems cause an error screen to
                    appear which suggests a possible solution to the
                    problem and, if you can't fix it, my address and phone
                    number is shown so you can contact me.  A common reason
                    for this error is that an index file contains a bad
                    entry (perhaps due to a power outage).  The most common
                    solution to these problems is to re-index your files
                    (File/re-Index).

                                  What Job Summary?
                                  _________________
          



                3.  Programme error - this is a mistake of mine and will
                    cause the programme to abruptly end with a one-line
                    error message and a message like "Press any key to
                    return to system."  Report these errors to me right
                    away, please.  Just like other large software packages,
                    WJS contains hundreds of thousands of instructions and
                    the bigger it gets the more likely it is that a "bug"
                    will creep in there somewhere.  These errors get top
                    priority and are usually fixed and a new version
                    released within a day.

                If anything happens that you don't understand, or if you
          can't get WJS to do what you want, I would appreciate knowing
          about this so I can fix the software or update the documentation
          as necessary.

                Most software of any significance has "bugs" which are
          errors of logic in the programme.  PC-DOS, MS-DOS, and Windows
          all have "bugs" which can cause problems.  As WJS goes through
          its evolution, bugs are removed; as new features are added new
          bugs sometimes find their way into the software.  I place great
          emphasis on keeping data safe and know of no person who has ever
          lost data due to a problem in WJS.  However, problems with DOS or
          computer equipment may cause data to be lost in rare
          circumstances.

                If any of your data seems to be missing exit to PC-DOS (or
          MS-DOS) and type "CHKDSK d: /F" (without the quotation marks and
          replacing "d:" with the drive on which you store your WJS files,
          such as "C:").  If you are using MS-DOS version 6 or later, use
          the command "SCANDISK d:" (without the quotation marks and
          replacing "d:" with the drive on which you store your WJS files)
          since it performs a more thorough test.  These commands will
          check your disk for any problems pertaining to the files on them. 
          The SCANDISK utility can also perform a surface scan which tests
          the entire disk to be sure all areas of it are usable.

                If CHKDSK or SCANDISK find any errors they will be reported
          to you and you will be asked for input on correcting the errors. 
          CHKDSK only knows how to clear any errors and turn "orphan" data
          into new files.  By "orphan" data I mean data which is on your
          hard disk but for which DOS has lost the information about the
          file to which it belongs.  Normally this data is not usable or
          requires tremendous effort to make it usable again.  I suggest
          you do not create files from this data unless you have lost a
          tremendous amount of data which would be very difficult to re-
          enter or the data is irreplaceable.  Beyond this point you will

          require the help of someone who knows how to recover damaged
          files.  Contact me if you cannot find a local consultant to
          perform this service for you.

                SCANDISK is able to identify bad sections of your disk and
          attempt to move data to safe areas.  If the area is badly damaged
          the attempt to move data may not be entirely successful.  If
          SCANDISK tells you it has found problems on your disk I suggest
          you let it fix them.  If your data is irreplaceable or would take
          a tremendous amount of effort to re-enter, then I recommend that
          you get the help of a consultant.  At the very least make a
          complete back-up copy of your data files (or the entire hard
          disk) so that you can attempt to restore information in case
          files are so badly damaged that information becomes lost.

                In most cases you will find that no data is missing and all
          you need to do is re-index your files for the "missing" entries
          to re-appear.  To re-build the index files just select the Re-
          index option on the File menu.


          XV.   FILES WHICH MAKE UP THE PACKAGE

                What Job Summary? consists of the following files:
                _________________

                file_id.diz * Description file for BBSs
                desc.sdi    * Description file for BBSs
                WJS.EXE       The executable file
                WJS.HLP       The help file

                WJS.WP      * WordPerfect 5 file of this document to format
                              for your printer
                READ.ME     * A file containing late-breaking news
                ORDER.FRM     Order form for all of my software -- please
                              "TYPE ORDER.FRM > PRN" to print it

                SYSOP.DOC   * Registration offer for BBS sysops
                VENDOR.DOC  * WJS distribution information

                These are the files which make up WJS.  If you distribute
          evaluation copies to friends and bulletin boards please be sure
          to include all of these files.  Additional files will be created
          in the same directory as you use the software.  The files marked
          with an asterisk (*) can be deleted if disk space is a premium,
          but I ask that you please keep ORDER.FRM on disk until you decide
          whether or not to register.
