$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $ $ $ Welcome to the exciting financial world of MLM - MASTER !!! $ $ Here, *** YOU *** are in complete control. $ $ $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ MLM - MASTER is a derivative of DBASE III, compiled with CLIPPER. As such, though it is a *STAND-ALONE* package, all data files can be manipulated with DBASE III. It will run on any 100% compatible IBM XT/AT/386/486 class computer, and runs under PC/MS-DOS Versions 3.x to 6.x. 640 K of memory (RAM) is required. Before running MLM - MASTER, it is STRONGLY suggested that all TSR's (if installed) be removed, as MLM - MASTER needs the recom- mended amount of memory FOR ITSELF in order to run properly ! A hard disk is required. A DISK-CACHING program is *HIGHLY* recommended ! A color monitor (CGA, EGA, preferably VGA) greatly improves the user interface, though a HERCULES GRAPHICS monochrome is quite usable. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% MLM - MASTER is an INTEGRATED MLM/Business-Checking Management Package. It combines two systems, CHEX-MASTER and MARKET-MASTER into one easy to use, highly efficient, cost-saving, work crunching business tool. MARKET-MASTER is a Multi-Level Marketing Management System. It is designed to provide ALL the Invoice/Inventory/Distributor Tracking functions that a Distributor for an MLM company such as [ AMWAY ] might require. If you are an MLM distributor, the FEATURES LISTED in the USER's GUIDE, coupled with the LOW registration fee ($49 basic), should convince you immediately that "MARKET-MASTER" is a winner. CHEX-MASTER is a Check-book/Budget Management System with a Small Business single entry Accounting/Bookkeeping module. It was designed for the person desiring a VERY simple-to-use bookkeeping system for a small HOME business. This system will allow them to manage their business books simply through the entering of normal check and deposit information. CHEX-MASTER was designed with many CUSTOM FEATURES, allowing it to be tailored (via the SETUP screen) to operate according to the CUSTOMERS desires !!! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Installation of this program is VERY simple. When you are finished reading this introduction, you will be presented with the option to begin the automatic installation. If you reply "YES", a sub-directory \MLMMASTR will be created on your hard disk, and the compressed .ZIP files will be expanded into it. You will then start the MLM - MASTER program. If MLM - MASTER was previously installed, you will be given the option to save your DATA files ! When you are ready, just sit back and get ready to TAKE FINANCIAL CONTROL !! When the Configuration and Installation phase is over, you will be in the MAIN MENU (Menu #1). At this point, it would be a VERY GOOD idea to print out the USER's MANUALS to SCREEN or to PRINT. If you opt to PRINT, there will be [ 16 ] PAGES of output for CHEX-MASTER and [ 10 ] for the MARKET-MASTER sections. You will note that the "SETUP" option is high- lighted. After reading the USER'S MANUAL'S, you will no doubt want to select this option to set up your system. **** NOTE **** If an ACCOUNT NUMBER is assigned, the system opens with a screen requesting it's entry. Otherwise, the system starts at the MAIN MENU (Menu #1). @@@@@@ PLEASE NOTE @@@@@@ : There are two GRAPHICS screens when MLM - MASTER is first starting up, and one when it is ending. If your mono- chrome monitor WILL NOT display these, there is an option on the first MENU screen to DISABLE graphics. There is also an option on this screen to TURN OFF the SOUND. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A **VERY** important step that you should do right now before you go any further is to make BACKUP COPIES of the original disk(s) using the DOS Copy or Xcopy command. Then, put the originals in a SAFE place, and continue with the backups. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The MLM - MASTER package consists of [ 109 ] Files. A list follows. It would be a good idea to verify that ALL files are present in your package.
