                   INSTALLATION OF PAYROLL CANADA
                   ==============================

The INSTALL.EXE program automates the installation process. The
distribution files are compressed to reduce the number of
distribution diskettes.  A complete set is 5 files, PAYCN42A.ZIP
through PAYCN42E.ZIP .  A and B are the Slide Show, C through E are
the working programs.  INSTALL.EXE will control the decompression
and placement of these files onto your Hard Disk.

The remainder of this file is substantially correct, though disk and
memory requirements have not been re-checked with the new release
they are expected to be about the same.  Check out file WHATSNEW.TXT
on your hard disk \PAYPGMS directory for new features of this
release (if it exists, that file is printed out during the
installation).


RUNNING PAYROLL CANADA
----------------------

Once unpacked,  whether manually  or the INSTALL programs, you can
run the unpacked programs as follows:

To see or print the Slide Show (which is now rather dated and was
replaced in 1994 by file PAYROLL.DOC, but which is being retained for
now as it was a major part of the documentation and still contains
useful information):

C:
CD \PAYSLIDE
RUNSLIDE

To use the PAYROLL CANADA system:

C:
CD \PAYPGMS
PAYMENU  { which can also access the Slide Show }


Installing Downloaded Files (Modem Users)
-----------------------------------------

This depends how the BBS stored the files. If each of our
distribution diskettes was packed into one archive, then unpack
those two archives and run INSTALL.EXE from the directory containing
the unpacked disks. Note that each disk itself contains compressed
files, INSTALL will uncompress them and set up the necessary
directories to store the output. You will not need the detail set
out below.

If  you  downloaded our PAYCN42?.ZIP files over the telephone as
seperate files rather than as two packed disks, then you may need to
unpack them manually.  The  DOS  commands  to  do  this (assuming
your hard disk is drive C, and your communications program wrote our
.ZIP files on a directory called \DOWNLOAD, and you have a copy of
PKUNZIP.EXE on a directory called \UTILITY ) would be:

C:
MD \PAYSLIDE
CD \PAYSLIDE
\UTILITY\PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN42A.ZIP
\UTILITY\PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN42B.ZIP
MD \PAYPGMS
CD \PAYPGMS
\UTILITY\PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN42C.ZIP
\UTILITY\PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN42D.ZIP
\UTILITY\PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\PAYCN42E.ZIP
\UTILITY\PKUNZIP \DOWNLOAD\TESTDATA.ZIP

If you are running a version of DOS that is below Vers. 3.xx you may
not be able to run PKUNZIP from a directory it is not resident on
(example, with \UTILITY\PKUNZIP from \PAYSLIDE).  If you have that
problem copy PKUNZIP.EXE to \PAYSLIDE and again to \PAYPGMS then you
can remove the \UTILITY\ prefix from the above instructions.


                       TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
                       ----------------------

Memory
------

PAYROLL CANADA needs 319950 bytes of FREE memory to run in.  Use the
DOS CHKDSK program to determine if you have enough.  You should have
enough  on  a  512K  or 640K computer unless you use a lot of memory
resident  programs,  virtual  disk,  disk  cache,  etc.  On  a  640K
computer  with  no  memory  resident  programs you should be able to
handle up  to  2000  employees,  on  a  512K  computer  up  to  1000
employees.  The maximum employee count includes terminated employees
which  have  to  be retained until year end for the T4,  YTD totals,
etc.  It is also per  employee  file.  If  they  are  split  between
several  files  the  maximum  count could be much higher as only one
employee file is processed at a time.


Hard Disk
---------

A hard disk is required to store  the  programs  and  will  be  most
efficient (faster access,  fewer size limitations than diskettes) to
also store the Employee data.  Each employee will  use  13160  bytes
(12.85K)  of disk space TOTAL for both the input and the output data
directories (\PAYIN and \PAYOUT).  Both directories are on the  same
drive so, samples of disk space needed to store employees is

Empl.      Disk
Count      Space

  10           129K
  50           643K
 100       1.29 MEG
 250       3.22 MEG
 500       6.43 MEG
1000         13 MEG
2000         26 MEG

Irrespective  of  the number of employees add a megabyte to hold the
programs,  almost 2  meg  if  the  slide  show  is  retained  (erase
\PAYSLIDE  when  you  are  done  with  it  IF  you  need the 720K it
occupies).  The programs and slide show do not need  to  be  on  the
same  drive as the Employee data.  Example,  programs and slide show
on drive C, Employee data on either drive C or drive D is OK.

Drive choice for data is selectable from the Configuration program.


Using Diskettes for Employee Storage.
------------------------------------

You should NOT use diskettes for  data  unless  you  know  that  the
maximum  number of employees (including terminated) is not likely to
exceed 25 (if using regular 360K diskettes),  or 50 (if  using  720K
IBM  PS/2  3  1/2  inch  diskettes),  or  about  80 if using 1.2 Meg
diskettes (IBM AT high density).

The only reason to consider using diskettes is if:

a) your hard drive is already full

b) others have access to your computer so you want  to  be  able  to
physically  remove  confidential  employee  data and keep it (on the
diskette) in a locked drawer. (We have a data encryption program for
Registered Users that will in effect lock up the data on  your  hard
disk).

The  Optional  PAYROLL  CANADA  backup procedure will expect to read
from one drive and write to the same or a different drive (which can
be either hard disk or diskette).  The input to the  backup  is  not
removable  while  the backup is in progress.  Therefore,  if you are
using diskettes AND want to do the backup on the same diskette drive
(i.e.  if you only have one diskette drive) then  reduce  the  above
employee counts per diskette because the backups will occupy some of
the space on the diskette.

Drive choice for data is selectable from the Configuration program.


                             CONCLUSION
                             ----------

Have  fun trying PAYROLL CANADA but don't forget to Register with us
if you like it.  It is the best payroll system you are likely to see
and you certainly will not beat the price for the features  offered.

     Registration  is  $195.00  (subject  to  review  and   possible
increase  at  end  March  1999).  There  is  also a mandatory $100.00
annual fee for Tax Updates.  These are issued once or twice  a  year
(depending  on  Revenue  Canada)  and  the $100 covers both (if as in
recent years there are two).  The updates are a complete replacement
of your existing programs and any other improvements or  changes  to
the  system  will  be included.  You are therefore always assured of
having the most recent release of the PAYROLL  CANADA  System.  With
your  January  tax  update  you  will  also  receive the most recent
version of  the  T4 PRINT  program.  Your first year's update fee
is billed two years after Registration.  Don't forget to add 7% GST
and, if shipped to Ontario, 8% Provincial Sales Tax to your cheque.
