Longer Description:
HBMS is an easy to use financial record-keeping and reporting system.
Find out exactly where the money went (and how much is left)! Enter
your data into a flexible "Chart of Accounts" designed the way you
want it. Use it as a simple checkbook manager or track all of your
income, expenses, assets or liabilities. Budgeting is also allowed,
and compared. HBMS has provisions to make automatic entries by saving
recurrent or similar transactions to "templates" with optional
reminder flags (due dates). You can have up to 254 total accounts
with 12 of them available for check printing and/or reconciliation.
Transactions can be split into 14 different accounts and can be edited
during or after entry. There are extensive screen reports, and 10
printed reports (printed reports can also be directed to a file).
Some other features are support for fiscal years other than the
calendar year, and a pop-up help screen for the Chart of Accounts. A
special "Test Drive" document is included, which combined with the
sample data will quickly introduce you to HBMS and what is has to
offer, great for new users! New features in version 4.3 include a
pop-up calculator, macros (multiple functions assignable to a function
key), support for foreign date formats and currency symbols, and an
INSTALL program which also prints the documentation.
New in version 4.3:
1. New INSTALL program. It unpacks the compressed distribution files
to your disk, creating directories if necessary. Also prints the
documentation.

a function key. <F4>
