The purpose of the Computerized UPS Book is to allow
small to medium size businesses a fast, simple way of handl-
ing their UPS shipments and bills. The UPS Book allows you
to quickly locate previous shipments to customers and check
your UPS bill for accuracy.
This program is intended for use by shippers who ship
ground only in the continental US or 2nd day air and next
day air to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. This program
will not handle Canada or Europe.
Before using the system, don't forget to enter all the
necessary information into the program. Some of the charts,
like the RATE CHART, will probably be the same, but the ZONE
CHART will be different for each center. UPS will need a
copy of all of the charts for the program and they do check
them for accuracy. Before you can use this program you must
have it okayed by UPS! It took us several weeks to get an
approval. If they need it, our shipper number is VA230-737
and the account name is CREATIVE MOULDING & FRAME in Roa-
noke, VA.
This program is my first attempt at commercial software
and I want it to be right! If you find a problem, let me
know right away. If you want to use this program after De-
cember 31, 1991 you will need to register it! The cost of
registration is $49. My address is:
