AUCTION INFORMATION SYSTEM  

This program is designed to track and record information for an auction.  
It is specifically designed for, but not limited to, fund raising auctions 
which have both silent and live auction segments.  All functions in this 
shareware release are complete.  A minimum of a 286-PC with approximately 
1 megabyte of free space on the hard drive is required to use the system.  
   
To add the name of your organization to the reports and invoices,  you 
must be a registered user.  When you register you will receive a 
system registration number, telephone support if required, and the user
manual. 
   
The shareware program is distributed with sample data in both the bidder 
and auction item files to enable you to qucikly see how the functions 
operate.  The sample data can be completely removed by using the file 
maintenance functions found in the files sub-menu. 
 
The program has data files for the names and addresses of all bidders 
and the information needed to record all items auctioned as a part of the 
event.  All the primary program functions are accessible from a main menu.  
Secondary reporting and maintenance functions are  accomplished through 
maintenance and reporting sub menus.

and the it's data files.
