                          WINDOWS 95/98 USER INFORMATION                                 

        A) Print Spooling:

        Windows 95 introduced a print spooling feature which allows an
        application to be "returned" to the user while printing runs
        in the background.  You may find that PC-FOOD II will not
        print correctly while using this feature.  Also, you may need
        to print from PC-FOOD II while running the program in a "full
        screen."  You can easily switch off the print spooling feature
        and toggle to a full screen if you encounter a problem with
        printing.  Follow these easy steps to switch off spooling:

        1) Click Start
        2) Click Settings
        3) Click Printers
        4) Click ONCE on the desired printer (to highlight it)
        5) Click File
        6) Click Properties
        7) Click the Details tab
        8) Click Spool Settings
        9) Click "Print directly to the printer"
        10) Click O.K.
        11) Click O.K. (don't just close this window or the new
            settings will not take effect)
        12) Close the Printers window

        You may quickly return to Spool Settings and select "Restore
        Defaults" to use print spooling with other programs.


        B) Full screen view of PC-FOOD II:

        To run PC-FOOD II in a full screen within Windows 95/98, press
        Alt-Enter (Press and hold the Alt key, then press the Enter
        key).  This will "toggle" between a window and full screen.
        PC-FOOD II will start in the mode (window or full screen)
        that was active when you last quit the program.


        C) Create a desktop "shortcut" to the PC-FOOD II Folder:

        PC-FOOD II will be installed to the PC-FOOD II Program Folder
        which will appear in the "Programs" list within the Start Menu.
        To add a "shortcut" to the PC-FOOD II Folder on your desktop,
        do the following:
        1) Start Explorer so that a portion of the desktop is visable.
        2) Select C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\PC-FOOD II
        3) Click once on the PC-FOOD II folder to highlight it.
        4) With the RIGHT mouse button, drag the PC-FOOD II folder to
           the desktop, then release the mouse button.
        5) Click on "Create shortcut here."
        6) Now click on the PC-FOOD II Program Folder shortcut and
           select "View" and "Large ICONS."

                                                                Page 3

                               PROGRAM OVERVIEW
                                
        PC-FOOD II was developed as an easy to use alternative to high 
        priced, complex systems.  If you hate the learning curve of 
        most software packages, you will love PC-FOOD II.  
         
        With PC-FOOD II you will no longer manually calculate food cost
        each time ingredient costs change.  Just compare invoice prices 
        with the ingredient listing in PC-FOOD II, edit any prices that 
        have changed, and PC-FOOD II will instantly update all 
        calculations throughout!  PC-FOOD II is very easy to use!

        In addition to calculating food cost (materials cost), 
        PC-FOOD II will also maintain two required selling prices for 
        each menu item.  One selling price is based on a desired gross 
        profit dollar amount, while the other is based on a desired 
        gross profit percentage.  Gross profit is selling price minus 
        food cost.  The "price changes" feature of PC-FOOD II will 
        alert you to items which are outside of your pricing 
        specifications.  

        Pricing is an "art" not a science.  PC-FOOD II is NOT capable 
        of determining appropriate prices for you.  Don't forget 
        competition when pricing!  Also, remember that gross profit 
        must cover all operating costs and provide you with your 
        desired profit.  Don't confuse gross profit with net profit.

        PC-FOOD II data files include ingredients, three levels of
        recipes, menu items, and menu mix files.  Ingredients consist
        of your raw materials.  You define how you buy (what unit) and
        use ingredients.  PC-FOOD II handles physical inventory by
        allowing you to input your on-hand quantity and extending a
        value at your latest cost.
  
        Recipes use ingredients or lower level recipes.  Select from
        a pop-up sorted list of ingredients/recipes and input the
        quantity used.  You define a "usage unit" for the recipe and
        tell PC-FOOD II how many of these units are in this recipe
        "batch."  Input a batch yield to arrive at a net cost per unit.   

        Menu items are defined similarly to recipes.  A menu item may
        select input from level three recipes and/or directly from
        ingredients. Lower level recipes may also be used by easily
        defining the recipe as a "pass through" recipe.  Input a
        DESIRED gross profit dollar amount and/or a DESIRED gross
        profit percentage and PC-FOOD II will calculate the REQUIRED
        prices to achieve those objectives.
  
        Another feature of PC-FOOD II is the Menu Mix function which 
        will maintain an overall food cost, total revenue and total 
        gross profit for one or more menu item "mixes."   
                               
                                                                Page 4
                           
                                 REQUIREMENTS 
                                
        MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: IBM or compatible "286" (AT) or 
        compatible computer with 640K RAM, one 720K or 1.44MM 3.5" 
        floppy drive, hard drive and a printer.

        PROGRAM CAPACITIES: Total capacity is dependent on available
        conventional memory. With 517K of RAM available, approximately
        2,000 items (ingredients + recipes + menu items) may be added.
        Please refer to your DOS/system manual for methods to increase
        available conventional (640K) memory. Generally, you will
        gain space for one additional item for each 64 bytes freed
        (10 items per 1K).
        
        DISK SPACE:    
        Do not attempt to exceed available space!  Always leave a 
        safety margin.  Unpredictable results will occur if you 
        attempt to exceed available disk space, including loss or
        corruption of data. 

        The "DAT" and "MMX" files MUST BE CONSIDERED AN INSEPARABLE 
        SET.  To begin with all new data, delete all "DAT" files and 
        any "MMX" files.  
  
        When you back-up your data, ALWAYS backup and keep files with
        ".DAT" and ".MMX" file extensions together as a set.  These 
        files require each other to maintain data integrity.  If you 
        modify one of the files using PC-FOOD II while one or more of 
        the other files are unavailable, unpredictable results will 
        occur including certain data corruption.

        PC-FOOD II uses the computer's system clock in several 
        functions.  If you have not set the clock, please do so.

        STARTING PC-FOOD II (from DOS) after installation:
        Change to the PCFOOD subdirectory: CD C:\PCFOOD  <Enter>
        C:\PCFOOD>PCFD  <Enter>

        STARTING PC-FOOD II (from Windows) after installation:
        Simply click on the "Food Cost" icon.
                                                                     
                                                                Page 5
 
                               GETTING STARTED

                
        The most efficient method to begin the definition process is 
        with ingredients, then recipes and finally menu items.  As you
        work with the program, you will see that it minimizes the need
        to constantly go back to define new ingredients, although you
        may do so at any time.

        If you installed the DEMO data files, take a few minutes to 
        work with and review that data.  When you are ready to begin  
        with your own data, you may simply add to or delete the demo 
        data from PC-FOOD II (item by item) or see the REQUIREMENTS
        section for instructions on which files to delete from the
        disk.

        All data may be quickly edited as you setup PC-FOOD II.  You
        may find it necessary to input partial information for an item 
        then return to complete the item later.  This can be quickly 
        accomplished within PC-FOOD II.
  
        Recipes are not generally served as a single unit but are 
        instead used in menu items.  Pizza, bread dough, sauces, 
        cookies, hot dish, etc., could all be defined as recipes.  
        Menu items are the final products sold (or served) as a 
        single unit.  A single bowl of soup, an individual cookie, 
        a sandwich, pizza, beverage, steak dinner, etc., are all 
        menu item examples.  To cost out an entire banquet, just 
        define a menu mix file containing your selected menu items 
        in any quantity.




                   CROSS-REFERENCE CALCULATOR SETUP (XRef)

        The cross-refererence calculator allows the user to input a
        quantity using a unit other than the  defined "usage unit."
        The feature is available within the individual recipe and menu
        item sections of PC-FOOD II when editing the usage quantity.
        
        The cross-reference setup (available at the MAIN MENU) is where
        the user defines the cross-references they wish to use.  As an
        example, you might define one cup as equal to eight fluid
        ounces.  Then, when prompted for an input in fluid ounces, just
        pop-up the cross-reference calculator and input the quantity in
        cups or any other defined cross-reference.  Using this example,
        if 2.5 cups were input, the calculator would automatically
        insert 20 fluid ounces in the field.

                         GENERAL COMMANDS/NAVIGATING
                                
        General On-line help is available whenever the F1=Help button 
        is displayed.

        Data input fields and most "buttons" contain context sensitive 
        help. Just press F1 while the cursor is located in the field or 
        on the button. Press tab, back-tab, a directional arrow key or 
        click, to place the cursor in the desired field or button.

        Mouse Tips:
        * The right mouse button acts as Escape, taking you back one 
          step/screen.
        * One click of the left mouse button selects a button choice or 
          locates the cursor to an input field.
        * Double click the left mouse button on a list choice to 
          select/display it.
        * Scrollable lists (ingredients, recipes, etc.) may be 
          navigated in many ways:
          - Click the up or down scroll bar pointer to move up or down 
            in the list.
          - Hold down the left button and drag the scroll bar "diamond" 
            up or down.
          - Click on the horizontal border immediately above or below 
            the data in a scrollable window to move up or down.
 
        Keyboard movement keys are all fully supported and include 
        PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Tab, Back-Tab (shift-Tab) and the 
        directional arrows.
        * Press <Enter> to select a scrollable list choice.
        * Escape will always take you back one step/screen.
        * To quickly search for an item by DESCRIPTION in a scrollable 
          listing, just press the key representing the first character  
          of the description.  You will step through the listing 
          stopping on each item that begins with the search character.

                               
                                                                Page 7
                                 INGREDIENT
                                
        From the Ingredient Listing, you have several options:

        Press <Enter> or double click on a list choice to go to the
        detailed ingredient.

        F2=Sort: The selected sort is automatically saved.  Subsequent
          inserting of ingredients in recipes or menu items will use 
          this sort.
  
        F3=New: Define a new ingredient.  If you use the same 
          ingredient in more than one "usage unit," you may want to 
          define the same item more than once (i.e. piece & ounce, 
          etc.) for the same description/dept/vendor.
  
        F4=Delete: You will not be able to delete an item that is used 
          in a recipe or menu item.  Do not override by changing the 
          description from "sugar" to "peas" because every recipe or 
          menu item that used sugar will now use peas!  Use the F5=Used
          feature to find all uses of the ingredient.
  
        F5=Used: List all recipes and menu items that use the 
          highlighted ingredient.
 
        F8=Export: Saves the selected fields for all ingredients to a 
          comma delimited file.  Import this data to a spreadsheet or 
          other program for additional report generation, etc.  This
          feature is also available in the DATA EXPORT utility.
 
        F9=Value: Ingredients are selected in the same manner as in 
          printing (see F10=Print).  Your latest input quantity and 
          cost is used for the calculation.  
    
        F10=Print: Report choices are determined by the location of 
          the highlight bar in the ingredient listing.  To print an 
          individual ingredient, place the highlight bar on the 
          specific item.  To print all records where department =
          "produce," place the highlight bar on ANY "produce" item.  
          Likewise, to print all items where the department = 
          "produce" AND the vendor = "GFG," place the highlight bar 
          on ANY ingredient that is both "produce" and from "GFG."  
    
          Select Item Master "M" or Inventory "I" report.  The 
          inventory report is very useful as an input form.  Pencil 
          your latest quantity and cost below each existing value on 
          the report.  Then input the data to PC-FOOD II using the 
          same sort.
                               
                                                                Page 8
                            
                                    RECIPE
  
        From the Recipe Listing you have several options:

        Press <Enter> or double click on a list choice to go to the
        detailed recipe.
        
        F2=Sort: Double click or press <Enter> on your choice.  Your
          sort selection is automatically saved for use each time the 
          recipe listing is displayed.  Inserting recipes in menu 
          items will also use this recipe listing sort.

        F3=New: Define a new recipe.   
          Begin the definition of a new recipe by entering at least the 
          description, then press F6 to save.  Continue with the
          definition by inserting ingredients (F3) or lower level
          recipes (F9).  The source (SRC) indicator will display an
          "R2" for a level 2 recipe, "R1" for a level 1 recipe, or an
          "I" for an ingredient.  Press F7 (or click F7=Edit) to move
          to the lower box to edit/input those fields. 

          Recipes may contain up to 30 ingredients and/or lower level
          recipes in the scrollable list.  Press F7 (or click F7=Edit)
          to move from the scrollable window to the lower box
          (description, dept, usage unit, gross qty, yield, notes).
          While in the scrollable window, press <Enter> or double click
          to edit the usage quantity of the highlighted ingredient or
          recipe.

            Commands available at the detailed Recipe level:
            -----------------------------------------------------------
            F3=Insert Ingredient: Select an ingredient from the 
              scrollable listing.  You may change the ingredient sort 
              order within the ingredient listing section of PC-FOOD II.

          in a menu item or in another recipe.  Do not override by
          changing the description of a recipe from "chicken soup" to
          "chocolate cake" because every menu item that used chicken
          soup will now use chocolate cake!  Use the F5=Used feature to

                                   MENU MIX

        Menu mix files provide the total revenue, total food cost, and 
        total gross profit (revenue - food cost) for a "mix" of menu 
        items.

        This is extremely useful for doing "what if's" with a time 
        period of sales or estimating for banquets, school lunch 
        programs, etc.  DON'T FORGET that gross profit must cover all 
        other operating expenses and provide you with your desired 
        operating profit.

        As you edit data throughout PC-FOOD II, all related data is 
        updated.  Changing an ingredient cost will update recipes 
        using the ingredient, update menu items using that recipe, 
        and update menu mix files using that menu item!

        Press <Enter> or double click a file to select:  The file will 
        be loaded and you may edit it as desired.


        From the main Menu Mix screen you have two options (plus help):
  
        F3=New File: Input a file name.  If the file name is valid, 
          you will be taken directly to the edit/define menu mix screen.
          
            Commands available at the detailed Menu Mix level:

            the highlighted menu item.

            F3=Insert Item: Select a menu item from the scrollable 
              listing.  You will next be prompted to input a usage 
              quantity for the menu item.  Press F6 (or click F6=Save) 
              to save the mix file with the new menu item.  The mix 
              file will redisplay with the inserted menu item located 
              at the highlighted bar location in the scrollable window.  
              The current sort order is used to display the scrollable 
              list of menu items.  Change the sort within the menu item 
              section of PC-FOOD II.
 
            F4=Delete Item: Delete the menu item that is highlighted in 
              the scrollable window.  The mix file will then redisplay 
              without the menu item.

            F10=Print: Print the currently displayed menu mix file.

        NOTE:
        The message "****** CONFIRM THIS ITEM": Each menu mix file 
        saves the menu item description and record number of each 
        item used.  A menu item deleted from PC-FOOD II will no 
        longer exist in a mix file.  However, because menu item
        record numbers are "recycled," the mix file may now contain 
        an undesired item. Press <Enter> to view, then F6 to save if 
        the item is desired.  If the item is not desired, press Esc 
        then "F4=Delete Item" to remove it.  This message also 
        appears if ANY change has been made to the menu item 
        description.

                               DATA EXPORT utility

        This stand-alone utility program (EXPORT.EXE) allows exporting
        of Summary Recipes, Summary Menu Items, Ingredients and Menu
        Mix files.  Import the resulting text files to your spreadsheet
        or database application.  

        This feature is also available from within the PC-FOOD II
        program itself.  However, with the DATA EXPORT utility version,
        the data field export "Yes/No" selections are saved.

        The DATA EXPORT utility was installed with PC-FOOD II.  To run
        the utility, just click on the "DATA" icon (icon with the arrow
        pointing downward).  Once the utility loads, press F1 for a 
        quick one page overview.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  

        DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT POINTS:
  
        1) Be sure to try finding an ingredient, recipe or menu item 
           by just pressing the key representing the first character 
           of the description.  Continue to press the key to step 
           through the listing.

        2) When using a mouse, double click to select a list choice.  
           Single click to select a button choice or to answer a 
           (Y / N) question.

        3) The location of the highlight bar determines the selections 
           available for printed reports in ingredients, recipes and 
           menu items.

        4) When printing, the "lines per page" may be set for fewer 
           lines than are available per page to add additional blank 
           lines after a page number.  Do not set the "lines per page" 
           to exceed your printer's normal lines per page (normally 66 
           for a dot matrix and 60 for a laser).
     
        5) IF YOU INTEND TO EXPORT INGREDIENTS BY USING F8=EXPORT, DO 
           NOT USE DOUBLE QUOTATIONS (") IN ANY INGREDIENT TEXT FIELD.  
           THE DOUBLE QUOTE CHARACTER SIGNALS THE END OF A TEXT FIELD 
           FOR MANY PROGRAMS.  IMPORTING THE INGREDIENTS THAT CONTAIN 
           DOUBLE QUOTES WITHIN A DESCRIPTION OR NOTE WILL MOST LIKELY 
           CAUSE THE RECORD TO IMPORT INCORRECTLY TO YOUR SPREADSHEET 
           PROGRAM.

        6) A numeric field that displays a preceeding "%" sign 
           contains a value that has overflowed the display.  The 
           value may also be negative in adddition to being too large 
           for the display.  Examine the item containing the overflow 
           for reasonableness.  PC-FOOD II was designed for food 
           costing, not for space shuttle development.  The fields 
           should allow for display if the values are reasonable.
