                   WELCOME TO GS TROOP TRACKER 1.0!

                   An OVERVIEW OF GS TROOP TRACKER

     GS TROOP TRACKER is a menu driven program which stores valuable 
information on the Girls and Leaders of a Unit and presents that 
information in various reports of use to the Unit during its operation.

     Before any reports can be produced from the GS TROOP TRACKER 
program, the user must give GS TROOP TRACKER certain data to process. 
This input process starts by adding records to a troop roster. It is 
continued by updating individual Girl or Leader records with the 
details of their Registration record, Camping Experience, Service 
Record, Leadership served, Achievements attained and information on 
any/all Training received. The process continues by the addition of 
relevant details from all Events and Trips in which the unit 
participates.

     Depending upon the amount of data provided to GS TROOP TRACKER, 
the program will generate Girl and Leader rosters as well as a roster 
of Former Troop members; three different types of mailing labels; an 
individual record for each Girl or Leader; and other reports detailing 
honors in the Unit and skills mix of the unit.

 GS TROOP TRACKER requires 256K RAM and runs better on a hard disk 
system, although it will run more than adequately on a floppy disk 
drive system with High Density 5.25" drives or Double Density 720K 
3.5" drives. The number of Girls/Leaders which the system can track is 
limited only by the amount of storage medium; systemically, GS TROOP 
TRACKER is designed to accommodate up to 499 Girls and 500 Leaders 
before requiring a total purging.

                       DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE

     Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software 
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using 
it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on 
details -- some request registration while others require it, some 
specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything 
from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated 
program with printed manual. 
     Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, 
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific 
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished 
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of 
comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad 
ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The 
author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the 
software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For 
example, some authors require written permission before a commercial 
disk vendor may copy their Shareware. 
     Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You 
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether 
it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your 
needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the 
overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate 
money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay 
for it.

                    GS TROOP TRACKER USE AGREEMENT

     GS TROOP TRACKER is a "shareware program" and is provided at no 
charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your 
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another 
system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide 
personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and 
yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new 
products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using 
GS TROOP TRACKER and continue to use GS TROOP TRACKER after a 
reasonable trial period (30 DAYS), you must make a registration 
payment of $35.00 (PLUS $1.75 SALES TAX for Residents of the State of 
Maryland) to ROBERT BARRENTINE. 
     The $35.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on any 
one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a 
book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of 
people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, 
so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location 
while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two 
different persons at the same time. 








                                 iii
     Anyone distributing GS TROOP TRACKER for any kind of remuneration 
must first contact ROBERT BARRENTINE at the address below for 
authorization. This authorization is automatically granted to 
distributors recognized by the Association of Shareware Professionals 
as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such 
distributors may begin offering GS TROOP TRACKER immediately; however 
ROBERT BARRENTINE must still be advised so that the distributor can be 
kept up-to-date with the latest version of GS TROOP TRACKER. Mail such 
notification to Robert Barrentine, 321 1/2 Gorman Avenue, Laurel, MD 
20707-4707  USA

     You are encouraged to pass a copy of GS TROOP TRACKER along to 
your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their 
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users will 
receive Support as described in Appendix A to this Manual.

     This program is produced by a member of the Association of 
Shareware Professionals (ASP). The ASP wants to make sure that the 
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a 
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting that member 
directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you 
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide 
technical support for member's products. Please write to the ASP 
Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a Compuserve 
message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.

                1.0 RUNNING SETUP FOR GS TROOP TRACKER

     1.0 SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS. GS TROOP TRACKER will operate better 
if your CONFIG.SYS file contains these commands:
               FILES = 20
               BUFFERS = 20
Additionally, the PATH command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file should allow 
for a search of both drives [PATH = A:\;B:\], if on a double drive 
system. The PATH statement for a hard disk system need not include the 
TRACKER subdirectory, but may do so if that is your desire.

     1.1 SETUP.EXE, included on the installation diskette, is a 
program that should be run prior to attempting to run GS TROOP TRACKER 
for the first time. It will ask you for certain information that it 
needs to build the various constants that will be referred to during 
the running of the GS TROOP TRACKER program.

     1.2 MAKING BACKUP COPIES OF GS TROOP TRACKER

     1.2.1 Double Disk Drive Systems. If you will be running GS TROOP 
TRACKER on a double disk drive system, make backup copies of the 
distribution diskettes BEFORE running SETUP. This will allow you to 
run SETUP at a later time should you move or purchase a computer with 
different storage medium configurations. There are no hidden files on 
the distribution diskette(s) so that you may use either "COPY" or 
"DISKCOPY" to copy the files. Store your distribution diskette(s) 
somewhere safe until you need them again.

     1.2.2. Hard Drive Systems. GS TROOP TRACKER is designed to 
operate on any ONE subdirectory of a hard disk system; the writer 
recommends using "TRACKER" but the naming of this subdirectory is 
totally up to the user. Once the subdirectory is created ["MD 
<subdirectory name>"], move to that subdirectory ["CD <subdirectory 
name>"], and copy all files ["COPY A:*.*", once for each diskette] 
into that subdirectory. Store your distribution diskette(s) somewhere 
safe until you need them again.

     1.3 RUNNING SETUP.EXE. If installing GS TROOP TRACKER on a hard 
disk, simply type "SETUP <cr>" while in the subdirectory which 
contains the GS TROOP TRACKER files. If installing GS TROOP TRACKER on 
a double disk drive machine, ensure that the disk with TRACKER.EXE is 
in drive B and the disk with SETUP.EXE is in drive A.

     1.3.1 RESPONDING TO SETUP. Setup will ask you for your Council 
name and Neighborhood. After you respond to these questions, SETUP 
will ask for your Unit and Number; here you should type in either 
"TROOP nnnn" (where nnnn is the national number assigned to your 
unit). SETUP will then ask if GS TROOP TRACKER will be running on a 
hard disk system. Respond "Y" or "N", as appropriate. If you are 
installing GS TROOP TRACKER on a hard disk, SETUP will ask for the 
drive and your preferred backup drive. SETUP will then repeat the 
information you have typed in to insure that what you see is what you 
want. Type "Y" to accept the data or "N" to return SETUP to a place in 
the program where it will request the data again.

                                 -1-

     1.3.2 WHAT IS SETUP DOING? All that SETUP is doing is creating a 
file [IDENT.MEM] that will be invoked during the running of GS TROOP 
TRACKER so that GS TROOP TRACKER will know where it is to operate and 
how to refer to your council and unit.

     1.4 RUNNING GS TROOP TRACKER. To run GS TROOP TRACKER, type 
"GSTROOP" at the prompt.


         2.0 ADDING DATA TO THE GS TROOP TRACKER TROOP ROSTER

     2.1 Mechanics of Adding Data. With the GS TROOP TRACKER Master 
Menu on the screen, simply press the "1" key to initiate the add data 
process. If, having pressed the "1", you then decide you don't want to 
add a record to the roster, press the "Esc"ape key in the First Name & 
Initials field and then press "E" for exit at the end of the record.

  ** 2.1.1 TIP: Throughout GS TROOP TRACKER, keep the CAPS LOCK 
function of your computer ON. While most of the sorting done 
throughout GS TROOP TRACKER is date related, the reports produced will 
be more uniform if all letters are in upper case throughout. This is 
not, however, a requirement for entering data in any field as GS TROOP 
TRACKER converts data to upper case where that is required.

     2.2 Discussion of the contents of the various fields in the Troop 
Roster dataset. While many of the fields in this record are self 
explanatory, there are a few which require expansion. For some fields, 
this expansion is simply in the form of tips while for others there 
are some system requirements. Please read these carefully.

     2.2.1 RECORD. This is a machine-generated field which simply 
tells you how many records are in your dataset.

  ** 2.2.2 DATE. This is a machine-generated field which simply tells 
you the date your machine believes it is. NOTE: Some operators lazily 
do not insure that their computer has the correct date and time on the 
system clock before they begin work. GS TROOP TRACKER uses the system 
clock to fill a field in the Troop Roster which indicates when the 
Girl or Leader concerned joined the unit. This field is later used to 
discriminate records in some instances and when transferring a Girl or 
Leader from the active to the Former Member dataset. PLEASE INSURE 
THAT YOUR SYSTEM CLOCK IS CORRECT PRIOR TO STARTING GS TROOP TRACKER.

     2.2.3 FIRST NAME & INITIALS. Self explanatory. Note the comments 
in 2.1 regarding aborting data entry.

     2.2.4 FAMILY [or LAST or SUR-] NAME. Self explanatory.

     2.2.5 ADDRESS, CITY, STATE [H-J]. Self explanatory.



                                 -2-
  ** 2.2.6 ZIP, PLUS4, AREA CODE, TELEPHONE . Self explanatory. Notice 
that the space for area code is larger than most area codes. This 
might give you space for telephone and extension, in area code and 
telephone number slots, if the area code is known and will never 
change; maximum characters in the area code blank is 7.

     2.2.7 FAMILY DATA. Self explanatory.


                     3.0 EDITING GS TROOP TRACKER

     3.1 Mechanics of Editing GS TROOP TRACKER Troop Roster Records. 
GS TROOP TRACKER gives you the opportunity to edit any element of 
information in any of its various datasets. With the TROOP TRACKER 
Master Menu displayed, press the "2" key and GS TROOP TRACKER will 
present your with a secondary menu allowing you to select the dataset 
to be edited. GS TROOP TRACKER will then  prompt you for the name of 
the individual whose data you wish to edit. A <cr> at that prompt will 
take you back to the GS TROOP TRACKER Main Menu. When you type in a 
Girl or Leader's name at the prompt, GS TROOP TRACKER will isolate the 
record(s) that belong to that individual in the selected dataset and 
display it (them, one at a time) on the screen for editing. A side 
benefit of this editing process is that, once you're in the Roster 
dataset in the edit mode, you can move around the entire roster and 
edit records as you wish.

  ** 3.1.1 This ability to move to all the records in the roster 
dataset is extremely useful for editing the begin dates for members of 
the unit. In section 2.2.2, we mentioned that GS TROOP TRACKER uses 
the system clock and that one of the uses of the system clock is to 
add data to this BEGDATE field. Since you will be entering all members 
of the unit at one or two sittings in order to get this system up and 
running, before you get too far into using the system you want to 
remember to edit these BEGDATEs to the correct dates for each member 
of your unit.


       4.0 DELETING A MEMBER OF YOUR UNIT FROM GS TROOP TRACKER

     4.1. Mechanics of Deleting a Member of the Unit from GS TROOP 
TRACKER. At the GS TROOP TRACKER Main Menu prompt, type in the number 
"3" to activate the deletion module. WARNING: BE SURE THIS IS WHAT YOU 
WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU PROCEED TOO FAR INTO DELETE.

** 4.1.1 This module will prompt you for the name of the individual 
whose record you want to delete from the database. The system will go 
to that record and verify that this is the individual you want out 
before proceeding. Upon verification, GS TROOP TRACKER will delete ALL 
references to that individual from all secondary datasets [e.g., 



                                 -3-
Achievement Dataset, Service Record Dataset, etc.] and will then move 
the name, date the individual joined the unit [BEGDATE] and date you 
are making this deletion into the Former Member Dataset. This is 
another reason to insure that the systems clock is correct before 
entering GS TROOP TRACKER.

  ** 4.2 TIP: Do an edit of the individual to be deleted prior to 
deletion to ensure that a member's BEGDATE, and name is as you want it 
to appear in the Former Member dataset. Further, print two copies of 
the individual's record with the unit (one for the individual and one 
for the troop's records) before you delete the Girl or Leader.


          5.0 UPDATING AN INDIVIDUAL GIRL OR LEADER'S RECORD

     5.1 Mechanics of Updating and Individual Girl or Leader's Record. 
This option should be selected to record individualized data such as 
Registration record, Achievements, Leadership Experiences and Training 
Taken. At the GS TROOP TRACKER Main Menu prompt, press the "4" to 
invoke the portions of the program which will update the various 
secondary datasets. You will be presented with a secondary menu in 
which you will be offered a selection of secondary datasets. Depending 
upon the option you select at this second menu, you will then be 
prompted for various pieces of information that the system will 
require to add data to a specified dataset.

  ** 5.2 TIPS: Add all skills, languages, and non-GSUSA training an 
individual may have received to the Training dataset. This is one of 
two datasets that GS TROOP TRACKER will search when you ask it for a 
printout of all individuals with a certain skill. An individual's 
experience just might serve as sufficient skill for some activities.


        6.0 ADDING A TROOP OR PATROL ACTIVITY TO THE DATABASE

  6.1 Mechanics of adding a Troop or Patrol Activity to the database. 
This option should be used to record unit activities such as Service 
Projects, Girl Scout Events, Trips, and Camping Experiences. At the GS 
TROOP TRACKER Main Menu, select option 5. As above, GS TROOP TRACKER 
will then ask you to select a specific dataset to which information is 
to be added and will solicit the common data (e.g., destination and 
date of a trip) regarding the activity to be logged. GS TROOP TRACKER 
will then take you through the Troop Roster, asking you if each member 
did or did not participate in the activity. Your responses to this 
query will decide whether a particular individual's record is updated 
with the activity information or not.






                                 -4-
  ** 6.2 Tip. If you have Girls who leave an event early, or arrive 
late to an event, you can log their attendance as a separate event so 
that their number of days and nights is accurate. Essentially, what 
you would do is to repeat all relevant data entered for the first 
activity log entry, except for the dates, which you would change to 
reflect the different dates attended.


                    7.0 PRINTING ROSTERS OR LABELS

     7.1 Mechanics of printing rosters or labels. At the GS TROOP 
TRACKER Main Menu, select option 6 to activate this module. You will 
be presented with a secondary menu that will offer you a selection of 
three different label formats or three roster formats, discussed below.

     7.2 Printing Rosters. GS TROOP TRACKER will prepare a roster of 
the Girls or Leaders in a troop which will include:
               For Girls:     For Leaders:
               Name           Name

     In addition to these rosters, GS TROOP TRACKER will also produce 
a roster of former members of your unit which includes their name, the 
date they joined the unit and the date they were removed from the 
troop roster.

     7.2.1 The printing function invoked here includes an imbedded 
command to your printer to use the compressed print mode. This allows 
GS TROOP TRACKER to print four roster entries across a line of the 
printed page.

     7.3 Printing Labels. GS TROOP TRACKER is designed to produce 
labels using labels of the following dimensions:      
          Label width: 35 characters (3.5 inches)
          Label height: 5 lines
          Left Margin: 0
          Lines between labels: 1 (a total of 1 inch per label)
          Labels across the page: 1

GS TROOP TRACKER will print three types of labels:

     7.3.1 A set of labels for all Girls in the Troop addressed, "To 
the Parents of " each Girl. These are envisioned to be used with 
newsletters, committee letters, and other such mailings.

     7.3.2 A set of labels for all Leaders in the unit. As with the 
"parent" labels, these are envisioned for specific mailing purposes.



                                 -5-

     7.3.3 A set of generic return address labels. These labels, which 
include the Council, District, and Unit identification are envisioned 
to be used as return address labels where the returnability of the 
mailing is irrelevant (since no real "address" data is included) or 
they can be used to produce gummed labels for labeling unit equipment.


                8.0 PRINTING/VIEWING SPECIFIED REPORTS

     8.1 Mechanics of printing or viewing reports. At the GS TROOP 
TRACKER Main Menu, select option "7" to activate the printing module. 
At the secondary menu, select the desired report and respond to system 
prompts as appropriate. In general, GS TROOP TRACKER is set up to 
deliver 75 characters of print across a page with a 5 character margin.

  8.1.2 Individual Girl (or Leader) Record. (This report will only be 
printed.) This report will print all details of a Girl (or Leader) as 
reflected in Troop records. The data is presented so that this report 
can serve as a Transfer Sheet for an individual as it contains a place 
for a certifying signature from the Scoutmaster.

     8.1.3 Members with a Particular Skill. (This report can be either 
printed or viewed.) To produce this report, GS TROOP TRACKER will ask 
for the skill you are searching for. It will then search the Merit 
Badge dataset and the Training dataset to see who in the unit has the 
desired skill. You will be given a list of these people with the 
element of information that made GS TROOP TRACKER select them. 
     NOTE: Specifying the skill you will be searching on is an 
acquired skill which is based, in part, on how much data you have 
logged into the system on the skills your Girls or Leaders have 
received in training. As discussed in section 5, the more details you 
insert in the training dataset the better you will be able to use this 
function.


              9.0 BACKING UP TROOP DATA TO FLOPPY DISK.

     9.1 THIS PROCEDURE IS DESIGNED TO BE USED ONLY BY HARD DISK 
SYSTEMS. Double floppy disk systems can achieve the desired level of 
data security by simply copying the diskette with the various .DBF and 
the IDENT.MEM files onto a blank, formatted diskette using DOS.

     9.2 Backing up data is a procedure that is seldom appreciated 
until a tragic accident or electronic malfunction reminds people that 
they should have backed up. WE STRONGLY URGE UNITS TO MAINTAIN SECURE 
COPIES OF ALL DATA. In fact, we recommend that units maintain a two or 
three tiered backup system so that you have a somewhat redundant 
backup disk collection.



                                 -6-
     9.3 Before invoking this module, please ensure that you have a 
blank, formatted diskette available. REMEMBER, write on the label 
before putting the label on the diskette.


       10. RECONFIGURING OR REDEFINING YOUR PRINTER INFORMATION

  11.1 To activate the redefine your printer function, press the 
letter "P" while in the GS TROOP TRACKER Main Menu. You will be

                 Appendix C - Setting Up Your Printer

  GS TROOP TRACKER has been designed to work with the printers listed 
below. Upon running GS TROOP TRACKER for the first time, you will be 
asked to define the printer that you will be using with this program. 
Select the printer your system is using from the list of printers 
provided below and make a note (mental or otherwise) of the number 
that has been assigned to that printer. When requested by GS TROOP 
TRACKER, type in the number that corresponds to your printer and GS 
TROOP TRACKER will make the various codes that apply to your printer a 
part of its operating memory.

  NOTE: If your specific printer is not listed below, consult your 
printer's User Manual to determine which of the printers listed below 
are the printers that are compatible with your printer. Some trial and 
error testing will indicate which printer selection gives you the best 
results.

  Should you ever changes your printer, select the menu option on the 
GS TROOP TRACKER Main Menu which allows you to change your printer. 
After consulting the list below, type in the number that corresponds 
to the new printer that you are using. GS TROOP TRACKER will make the 
necessary changes to the operating files and you may immediately begin 
to use your new printer settings.
