     PAYUSA.TXT  is this  download information  file, which  you are
reading now.  It  is plain ASCII and can be  READ or DOWNLOADED with
no  special handling.   The other  files were  compressed into  .ARC
archives   to  save   downloading  time.    Each  archive   contains
approximately one full 360K disk.   Archives require either the ARCE
program or  Version 510 or  later of  the ARC program  to uncompress
them.   These are  binary files  and  if downloading  them over  the
telephone you must use a protocol which transmits all 8 bits in each
byte and  provides error  checking.  Xmodem  is OK.   Do not  use an
ASCII file  transfer method.   ARC and ARCE  are also  available for
download on  CompuServe and most  local BBS  systems (if you  do not
already have one or the other of them). 

     If you prefer to save on-line connect time you can obtain these
files on  diskettes through  the mail  by sending  a check  or money
order for U.S.$15.00 direct to Anthistle Systems & Programming Ltd.,
563 Patricia Drive, Oakville, Ontario, CANADA L6K 1M4 . 

     If  you  will be  downloading  them  we  suggest you  take  the
PAYDM1.ARC first and take  a look at it.  This will  give you a good
idea  of  what PAYROLL  USA  is  all  about, and  full  Registration
information.  If  you like what you  see then log on  again and take
the remainder, PAYDM2.ARC,  PAYUS1.ARC and PAYUS2.ARC, or  mail us a
check for the diskettes.

     The above files are for our U.S. System, we also have a similar
Canadian  System  called PAYROLL CANADA  . If you would like a trial
copy of  the  Canadian  system  please  mail  us U.S.  $15.00   ( or
Canadian $20.00) and specify it is the Canadian system you want.


                         WHAT IS PAYROLL USA 
                         =================== 

     PAYROLL USA is  complete in itself, it  maintains your Employee
database,  does all  calculations  of Wages  and  Taxes, prints  Pay
Checks (or  Pay Slips  for Manual Checks  /Cash Payrolls),  prints a
Payroll  Register (both  Current and  YTD), Check  Register, Mailing
Labels, Employee  Info., etc.  It is  not merely an extension  of an
Accounting System, it is a DEDICATED Payroll System.  We think it is
the best there is  - we hope you will agree after  you have seen the
slide show and tried the system. 

     dBASE, LOTUS, NewViews,  etc. are not pre  requisites for using
PAYROLL  USA It  can  be used  on  its  own -  but  we provided  the
interfaces to LOTUS, dBASE, NewViews,  etc., to make it the ULTIMATE
Payroll Front End  for people who are already  using those programs.
PAYROLL  USA is  fast  and user  friendly,  provides superior  entry
screens,  on line  edits in  Pop Up  Windows, and  a degree  of User
Customisation that  is otherwise  just not  available.  We  are also
interested  in  discussing  custom versions  and  custom  interfaces
(including interfaces  to Mainframe Accounting Systems)  which might
be particularly appropriate to large Corporations. 

     PAYROLL USA is a big system designed  to run on the IBM PC, IBM
AT, and  close compatibles  (the screen  must be  at the  normal IBM
address of  $B800:0 if color or  at $B000:0 if monochrome).   It was
written in Turbo Pascal and Compiled.  The compiler output (which is
what we are distributing) is ready to run machine level code.  ( DOS
.COM files).  You do not need Turbo Pascal to run it.  These program
files total  about half a  megabyte.  However,  they are not  all in
memory at once. 

     PAYROLL USA needs a minimum  of 100K free memory (after loading
DOS etc.) to run, plus an  additional 1664 bytes per employee making
the upper limit on a 640K machine  in the 275 to 300 employee range.
Disk requirements are about 9.25K per employee (total for both input
and output).  So for 300 employees  you also need almost 3 megabytes
free  on your  hard  drive.   PAYROLL USA  will  also process  small
employee  files with  no problem.   If using  floppies you  need two
drives and will be able to fit a  maximum of 35 to 40 employees on a
360K diskette.  Memory requirements for  40 employees would be about
165K free after loading DOS, so it is unlikely that you will be able
to  run  PAYROLL  USA on  a  machine  with  less  than 250K  of  RAM
installed. 

                             TAX TABLES 
                             ========== 

     You may  change State and  Local Taxes,  be sure to  change the
SUTA from the PAYUSA.COM Configuration  Menu and check the other tax
tables are  correct for your  State (supplied with  California 1987,
and New  York City  1986).  California has  a State  Disability tax,
SDI, which  we have handled as  an "Other Deduction", if  you are in
California or  any other State  which has a  similar tax be  sure to
check the  Configuration screens for  Other Prompts and be  sure the
percentage  calculation  is  turned  on and  the  rate  and  maximum
deduction is correct.
