PRODUCT SUPPORT and ORDER LINE

Voice and FAX are provided at 214-296-8518.

The voice system will guide you through placing an order or leaving a
message.

If you are having a problem and there is no one to personally answer your
call, please leave your name and phone number. Someone will get back to
you as soon as possible. Please also briefly DESCRIBE your PROBLEM. Many
times a quick reply to your answering machine is all it takes, thus
avoiding telephone tag.

To send a FAX, just press your SEND key. If for some reason that does
not work, then press "77#" anytime after the voice answer to activate
the FAX.

Share-TAX/1040 will be uploaded (under file name "STAX\Y.ZIP") to
Compuserve, America-Online, etc., and to one or more nationwide BBS
networks. It will also be distributed to all ASP (Associan of Shareware
Professionals) shareware dealers and BBS's. Therefore, it is likely
that you can purchase a diskette locally, or can download the program
from a BBS local to you.


Using the INSTALL Program

If you received the program from a shareware distributor in "packed" form,
you must first "unpack" it according to their instructions (the fact that
you are reading this means either that you must have already done so, or
you did not receive it in packed format).

Place the original diskette (or diskette containing unpacked files) in drive
"A:" or "B:". Then at the DOS prompt, type "A:INSTALL" or "B:INSTALL",
respectively, and answer the questions.

IF YOU HAVE A MONOCHROME SCREEN

If you have a monochrome screen and you have difficulty reading it, start
the program in monochrome mode by running with the /B option (run it by
typing "STAX94 /B" at the DOS prompt). This may not be necessary with all
monochrome screens, but is likely to be quite necessary with some laptops.
You should then select "monochrome" on the COLOR screen, and next time you
run the program it will remember your preferences without typing the "/B".

OLDER COMPUTERS WITHOUT A MOUSE

If your DOS is 3.0 or later, then the program checks to see if you have a
mouse. If you want the program to assume that you do not have a mouse, and
to not even check for one, run it with the /N option (Example, at the DOS
prompt type: "STAX94 /N").

For DOS earlier than 3.0, the program assumes that you do not have a mouse
and will not even check for one. The reason is that some older computers
will hang with a blank screen when the program checks for a mouse. If in
this case you do have a mouse, run the program with tne /M option (Example,
at the DOS prompt type: "STAX94 /M").

DOCUMENTATION

Complete documentation is in file STAX94.MAN, which is best viewed or
printed while running the program. Select the "About/View Manual" or
"Print/Print Manual" pull-down menu functions.
