Once the format/s are set in File.fmt , and data entry is in process then there should be none . But it takes a 1st time user some time to get to speed.

You could be annoyed by these situations

• At present you can only see the formats in FILE.FMT when you are editing / creating the formats . It is not a menu item in the menus . You can exit to DOS to edit whenever you want though .
• You must change to the directory where the data file is being created - FILE.FMT should also be in the same directory. Only drive names are accepted at prompts. Not directory paths.
• Supposing FILE.FMT is not in the same directory in which the data file is being created then it is possible that you could face a situation where you MAY have to press Control-C to exit the program .
• You can leave out field names altogether. But at least a CRLF must be entered even if field names are left blank. It does get difficult to fill in field names for fields of 1 col. length.

You may forgive us for the above . If you take into account that for a typical data entry job the operator is on the main screen for maybe 99% of the time .

PAYMENT

1. Use simple rules of conscience and common sense. Pay only if you actually use the software gainfully. We dont expect to be paid for occupying disk space. We don't expect anything from individuals doing data entry at home. However if you want to pay then $15 or ( Rs. 400/-) is enough to remove the "Unregistered Software" and put your name there.
2. If you are a small firm the $100 (or Rs 4000/-)will remove the "unregistered" bit and put your name in. We can give as much support as is possible through e-mail.
3. If you are a larger concern then we expect $500(or Rs20,000) and we will extend you far better and prompt support. We will also add the ability to put the SP directory on whichever drive you want . Right now there is no choice , it has to be c:\sp on C drive which may not be acceptable on a LAN based system . A similar amount is expected for each site where the software is used . Payment in installments is acceptable - you decide the amount.
4. The software can be e-mailed to you . Or even put up on our site for you to download .
5. Cheques or drafts must be made in the name of "THE COMPUTER CENTRE" drawn on an Indian Bank . Even cash in envelopes is safe at the following snail mail address.
