FairPlus Program Menu Structure   -   Exit Menu:
The 'Exit' menu item will force FairPlus! to go through a very involved shut down procedure. To aid in preventing data loss via disk caching and improper operating system shut down, FairPlus! maintains a complete second set of all data files. These files are forced to go through a copy and copy back procedure upon exit which insures a complete savings of all data, to include disk cache flushing, in two files sets. A display bar will show the systems progress upon exiting.

Main menu items   -   Update Disk:
This item is available on every menu screen. It will initiate the same file copy, disk caching flush, file copy, save sequence that happens when the program is exited, but allows the user to stay in the program and force a complete data file update..

Main Menu Items   -   Internet Address
This item will display C & K Ventures web site address (URL) and some information about the site.

Main Menu Items   -   Agents/Help
Say Hello to the Microsoft Agents. This help system can be turned on or off from any section of the program. You can choose from the four standard Agent characters. This 'Guy' will then draw and display a help dialog balloon containing help text relevant to the component currently pointed to by the mouse cursor.

Main Menu Items   -   Review What's New
FairPlus! is an ever growing comprehensive fair data system. As user's request more features and other factors occur, we will produce upgrades to the program. These upgrades are available via our web site. When an upgrade is released, a new version number will be assigned. The program, upon execution, will detect this version change. It will at that time display a dialog box listing all of the new features or changes to the program. You can select to clear the dialog box (it would keep displaying each time you run the program) or flag the dialog box as 'viewed'. In that case, you would not see the dialog box again. However, clicking 'Review What's New' will redisplay all upgrade dialog boxes ever received even if they have been flagged as 'Viewed'.

Main Menu Items   -   Mini Docs
The more involved or infrequently used features of FairPlus! are explained via .pdf format documents. These documents are available via www.4HPlus.com (where you are now!) as a self-extracting download. This allow for the user to update to most current documentation at any time. Clicking the Mini Docs menu item will display a list of currently available documents that can then be viewed on screen via Adobe Reader or printed. A copy of Adobe reader is shipped with 4HPlus!
