**Introduction:
|
||
|
||
Starburst Maintenance Program is being distributed under the Shareware
|
||
distribution system.
|
||
|
||
Starburst Maintenance Program is a growing program or project. You may
|
||
find sections that do not run, or reports that are not in place. This
|
||
is not a hold out, I have been working on this project for three years
|
||
and this is where I am at the time of this release.
|
||
|
||
Copies of this program may be made and shared, as long as no fee is
|
||
charged, other than a nominal fee for material. You have the opportunity
|
||
to try the program for free or at a minimum cost,if the program does not
|
||
meet your needs you are out only the time to try it out. However if it
|
||
saves you thousands of dollars of maintenance down time, then it would
|
||
be practical for you or your company to support this type of software.
|
||
The only way the SHAREWARE concept will work is if users support the
|
||
author and the programs.
|
||
|
||
By registering this program with the author you will support its
|
||
continuing growth. And you will receive the latest revision, and
|
||
major updates for the next two years, with a minumum of at least
|
||
two (2) major updates. Also user support by mail and in emergency
|
||
by phone ( in the evening or weekends only ).
|
||
|
||
The registration fee is $49.00; add $3.00 sales tax if in Ohio and
|
||
$5.00 postage for overseas and/or air mail.
|
||
|
||
This Maintenance Program is in three main sections. These sections are
|
||
Preventive Maintenance, Corrective Maintenance and Utilities.
|
||
|
||
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE is an easy to use tool that quickly reduces
|
||
maintenance cost for any size company. By using the weekly
|
||
generated reports maintenance items will not be over looked or
|
||
skipped. Maintenance items that are done once a week or once
|
||
every three years will be done with no thought from management.
|
||
For example; how long has it been since the EXIT door lights have
|
||
been checked for operation. How often has an oil sump run dry, a
|
||
cable failed due to poor lubrication, an OSHA required report
|
||
been neglected, production shut-down for the same failure that
|
||
could be prevented with a time changed item. Every time you have
|
||
a break-down; think "Would I have this problem if someone had
|
||
looked at it, oiled it, filled it, tested it, changed it or tuned
|
||
it last week". If the answer is, "NO, I would not have the
|
||
problem", then enter the item into the PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
|
||
work order file and the chances are slim that the problem will
|
||
ever reoccur.

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE is used to track time and cost of corrective
|
||
maintenance. How often have you wished you knew how many times
|
||
the machine had the same failure. Or what has been the total cost
|
||
keep an old junker running. Also how long did it take to fix it,
|
||
and what material was used. What is an accurate estimate to repair
|
||
it this time ?
|
||
|
||
UTILITIES are use by both sections so that data does not need to be
|
||
entered more than once. Other services provided in Utilities are
|
||
Back Up Data, Re_Index Files, Install, Erase all Files, Color and
|
||
Set Date Format
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
**GETTING SETUP
|
||
|
||
1. The first thing you will want to do is make a backup copy. Do not
|
||
use this master as a working disk. Also make a copy to give to a
|
||
friend.
|
||
|
||
2. Your boot disk or drive must have a program called CONFIG.SYS
|
||
|
||
A. If you do not have a program called CONFIG.SYS on your boot disk
|
||
or hard drive copy the one from the Maintenance disk onto the boot
|
||
disk or hard drive.
|
||
|
||
B. If you do have CONFIG.SYS, check to see that it calls for at
|
||
least 14 files and 20 buffers. To check:
|
||
a. Turn on or re-boot the computer
|
||
b. At the prompt enter { X:> TYPE CONFIG.SYS }.
|
||
You should see on any two lines:
|
||
FILES=14
|
||
BUFFERS=20
|
||
c. If not, the file can be modified with a Word Processor
|
||
in "non-document" mode or with your DOS EDLIN. This
|
||
will only help your computer run better and will not
|
||
effect other programs.
|
||
|
||
3. Hard disk installation.
|
||
|
||
A. Copy the disk into a sub-directory on your hard disk.
|
||
COPY *.* C:\{sub}
|
||
|
||
B. From that sub-directory enter or run MAINT.
|
||
|
||
C. The screen will clear, Then say loading MAINT.EXE. The logo
|
||
will appear and then the date menu. Enter the correct date.
|
||
At this point a light bar menu will appear. On all light bar
|
||
menus you may use the arrow keys and enter or the first letter
|
||
or number or letter of the selected line. Select "UTILITY".
|
||
|
||
D. From the next or Utility Menu select - "3. Install".
|
||
|
||
E. Fill in the blanks on the form. The most important question
|
||
is the one on DATA storage. You must indicate the drive letter,
|
||
A, B, C, D, OR E where the files are stored. Note: A_INITAL.DBF
|
||
must be on the same drive and sub-directory as MAINT.EXE. All
|
||
the other files may be saved on the hard drive or a floppy.
|
||
|
||
F. Next, from the Utility Menu select - 4. Erase all the files.
|
||
This removes old data and resets the file pointers and indexes.
|
||
|
||
G. If you are not in the U.S.A. select -5. Set DATE format. This
|
||
allows for dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy etc.
|
||
|
||
H. Enter 9 to return to the Main Menu

||
4. Floppy disk installation.
|
||
|
||

|
||
floppy disks. Only one disk drive is required.
|
||
|
||
a. Disk #1 COPY

|
||
COPY A_INITAL.DBF B:
|
||
|
||
b. Disk # 2 COPY
|
||
COPY *.DBF B:
|
||
|
||
B. From DRIVE A: ENTER or run MAINT.
|
||
|
||
C. The screen will clear, Then say loading MAINT.EXE. The logo
|
||
will appear and then the date menu. Enter the correct date.
|
||
At this point a light bar menu will appear. On all light bar
|
||

|
||
or number on the selected line. Select "UTILITY".
|
||
|
||
|
||
D. From the next or Utility Menu select "INSTALL".
|
||
|
||
E. Fill in the blanks on the form. The most important question
|
||
is the one on DATA storage. You must indicate the drive letter,
|
||

|
||
|
||
Put Disk #2 in drive A: if you have only one disk drive.
|
||
|
||
F. Next, from the Utility Menu select - "4. Erase all the files".
|
||
This removes old data and resets the file pointers and indexes.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
**Getting started
|
||
|
||
1. Now from the Main Menu run Machine Data. This is not the fun part of
|
||
program. For now enter machine number, name, location, department.
|
||
(Reports using other data have not been written). This data will be
|
||
used on all work orders and does not have to be re-entered.
|
||
|
||
2. From the Main Menu run Category, the default categories are shown.
|
||
You may change them to anything you like. Some change them to dept's.

||
|
||
3. Now run Labor, and enter up to 10 (0-9) labor grades. (Not used yet).
|
||
|
||
4. The DATE format was set in the Install program. This may be changed
|
||
at any time. When you change it all stored dates will change too.

|
||
is up to you. Running Due work orders will print out Work Orders

for any tasks that are due. If it is due once a year it will print
|
||
once a year, and only once a year.
|
||
|
||
9. As work orders are completed Post the File Number, not Index Number

|
||
This printing list each work order that is due or overdue, leaving
|
||
room for remarks and a place to sign off the work. As the list is
|
||
printed all files are updated to the calendar. It is suggested that
|
||
this LISTING be run once a week otherwise the work load in one
|
||
category may be to great.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Corrective Maintenance:
|
||

|
||
As you can see there is a lot of room for more. Reports will be added
|
||
programs will be expanded and corrected. Please send suggestion and
|
||
errors found in the program to Starburst Software.
|
||
|
||
|
||
A note to current registered users of PM MAINT:
|
||
|
||
Thanks for your support and help. This program is more than an up-date,
|
||
it is entirely new. It is written in a different language, the old was
|
||
Basic, the new is DBase III. It is much faster ( it will sort several
|
||
hundred files in a minute or two while the old took 10 or more minutes.
|
||
Also the old held only 400 files, the new holds 9999 and if someone
|
||
needs more it can be increased to 99999. And it has a new look with
|
||
light bar menus, framing, date format, color and more.
|
||
|
||
Now the bad news, the files are DBase not Basic and the data will not
|
||
transfer. If you don't feel the good is stronger, stay with the old.
|
||
For any one who does not have Revision 1.40, it is on the disk.
