Programs and Utilities

• MvConv (Click here to run!)
• This is a freeware program that does conversion between the multivalue system internal dates, pc internal dates, and standard dates. If you click on the difference panel, it will show the number of days between the current date and any other date you select. It also converts multivalue time (which is seconds of the day), and character conversions. These are handy if you do any programming or editing of data on your system. The program will minimize to the task bar. Feel free to download and use it if you'd like, or run it from this web site to check it out. Just click on the program name. (This program was written in C++Builder6).

• ScoutPrints (Click here to install! - 5 meg)
• This is another freeware program for Scoutmasters or other scouters to track the progress of the Boy Scouts they are in charge of. It will store contact data, progress including the detail for specific awards, attendence, amd more. You can also add pictures of each of the scouts to help memorize which names go to which faces. (A nice feature for large groups if your as bad at remembering names as I am.) You can add awards or change the requirements for awards already in the system. It is completely stand alone, and requires no other programs to run. It has a help file to walk you through how to accomplish different tasks, so no special computer knowledge is required. I wrote it for my own use, but hopefully have made it simple enough to be of use to other scoutmasters.

• Archiving
• The archiving routines (pc based) let you set up a pc as a serial printer on your system. You can then send your month-end (or other) reports to it and it will break them out by store, type and date on the PC. They are stored as text files so they can be read into a word processesor or spreadsheet, or read with the archive reader that comes with it. It's setup to be automated. You just send your reports, and each morning (or when scheduled) it will breakout the reports that have been sent. No proprietary formats to contend with. Auditors love having it in electronic format. (You can just burn it on a cd for them.) Can be a great storage space saver. You own the data so you can make as many copies as you need.
• Schedrip
• This program is a pc based program. Usually used with the data from the above archiving program, it will allow you to read an electronic schedule or journal, and 'rip' specific data from it. For example you can pull all values by reference for a specific account, or all sales prices for vehicles from a sales journal.
• Gas POs
• A custom purchase order program for gas on ADP systems. It allows setting up for PO's to specific places only. It also has extensive setups to specify who, and under what circumstances a PO can be written. Examples are fillup for delivery requires a recent sale of the vehicle and can only be filled once. Demo's have a minimum days between fillups, etc. Overrides are by security access. Users can also maintain a file of gallons per model, with defaults for unknown models and many other features. Reporting and reconciling included.
• Journal Exceptions
• Custom ADP program for allowing accounting to set limits for items in a specific journal by gross profit, gross profit percent, cost, sale, or account, and then report all exceptions. Great for finding questionable transactions and posting errors.
• HR Database

• DCS Comparison
• Custom ADP and PC programs that together allow a sales manager to download information from the manufacturers internet Dealer Communication System, and compare his current and in-transit inventories to prevent errors that could effect ordering vehicles.
• BinList
