Instructions to Download the Landing Trip Ticket Software Package

Print these instructions to make it easier to follow. We at Seaside Management Systems want you to see how the software functions, and how easily the software works. This software will keep your landing information for years to come, report the information to the State of North Carolina, and the NMFS will accept data created by this software. If you are downloading this software to a peer-to-peer or network system, we recommend that you download it to a workstation so you can explore all of its features without interfering with your present software. When you decide this software will save you time, it can be easily moved to your main PC.

 

Steps to Download

  1. Go to www.seafoodsoftware.com
  2. Click on the “Software Demo” folder
  3. Click on “Download Landing Trip Ticket Software”
  4. Normally your computer will ask where you want to unzip the software, any folder will do.
  5. After the unzipping process is done, go into the folder where the software was unzipped.
  6. Double Click on “Install Landing Trip Ticket Software”
  7. When the message " Files are on Drive (A thru P) - " appears, press the letter on the keyboard that identifies the hard drive. The letter " C " is the norm, but if you are using a network another letter is used. In the case a network is in use consult the network individual or dealer
  8. When the message " Creating Purchase File         Starting ticket number - " appears, key in the beginning number for purchases, such as, 101 or 1001 and press the ENTER key. The software will start with this number and then maintain the numbers sequentially.
  9. You are now in the software. The software is menu driven, so until you press the “ESC” key on the Main Menu screen you are in the software.

 

Everything is accessible in the software, so before adding anything, just look around at all the possibilities. The install program has added all the programs and files in a LTT folder that it created. If your machine has a config.sys, then adding “files=210” and “buffers=40” will allow the software to operate more efficiently.

 

You can add a shortcut to Landing Trip Ticket. In the “LTT” folder is an SMSLTT.ICO icon for the desktop. Use Either LTT.BAT or LTT0000P.EXE in the shortcut.

 

Finally, you can e-mail us at info@seafoodsoftware.com when a question arises. We will respond by the next day.

 

P.S. When you become a client we will give a customer service phone number. This will allow a much quicker response time.

 

Take the time to see if this product will work for you.

 

The cost of the software package is $500.00. Upon receipt of payment, we will notify the State Marine Fisheries to obtain your license to submit and send any updates or modifications which may be necessary.

The landing trip ticket package was designed as a menu driven program. The mouse has been disabled so the system will work in any environment. This software will operate in DOS machines or on Windows 9X/NT/2000 equipment. It will also run as stand alone software or on a network without any additional changes in the software. The software does more for you then reporting to the state of North Carolina the number involved in seafood landings at your station.
