What was payIT?
payIT is a free simple program written in C++ language to calculate internet usage at cyber cafes. It is recommended to be used by the owner/attendant of the premise/s to simplify the job of calculating internet usage time and charge to be paid by user.


Here are some tips for using this program.
1) Select 'Input' menu to insert entry/s.

2) Enter the number of entry/s.

3) Enter the data required. (i.e Name: Scott).

4) The time of user Scott had recorded automatically.

5) To add more entry, select 'Add Entry'. 

6) To view the data recorded, select 'Output' menu.

7) To search for recorded data, select either 'Search by Entry Number'    or 'Search by Name'.

8) For 'Search by Entry Number' menu, you need to enter the entry         number to recall information recorded.

9) For 'Search by Name', you have to enter the user name.
   !Make sure that it's the same with the first entered name. (i.e        Name: Scott, you need to enter Scott not scott etc. It is case         sensitive.)

10)To modify entry, select 'Modify'. This menu overwrite the recorded     data with the latest one. This mean that the last user had checked     out and replaced by new entry with the same PC number.     

11)When user want to check out, select 'Calculate' menu and enter the     number of entry to calculate. (i.e If user Scott is the first          entry, enter number 1 and usage time will be displayed.)
   !Make sure it's the correct entry number or the usage time will be     wrong.

12)!User name recorded will stay in RAM until you modified it or you      quit the program. All entries was log into two files:
   a)data1.txt-contains the first entered entry/s and the modification                been made. The data recorded will be append at the end                 of the file. If program restarted, the data will be                    overwritten.
   b)data2.txt-contains user information that are User name, In time                  and Out time. If user hadn't checked out, the 'Out' time                will be null. (i.e Out: 0:0). If program restarted, the                data will be append at the end of the file. This is the                same as .log file.
   You can recover the lost entry/s by refering to this two files. But    you need to calculate it manually.

!DO NOT TERMINATE THE PROGRAM UNTIL YOU CLOSE YOUR PREMISE/S OR ALL THE DATA RECORDED WILL BE LOST.


13)!It's recommended to number each of the PC at your premise to make     it easier to input data and recall the information. (i.e PC number     one is the first entry etc.)

14)The date sequence is Day\Month\Year and time is Hour:Minute. (i.e      28/8/2001 is 28th of August year 2001 and 11:30 is half past           eleven.)
