- This file is intentionally kept small as I've noticed most people don't
- like reading long readme files.
-
- What does it do?
- ================
-
- DP5Bank is a simple but very useful bank account tracking program for
- the Psion Series 5 palmtop computers. It will help you have your
- accounts under control, figure out your net worth, warn you on defined
- limits and so on. You'll have no more excuse to be overdrawn. The
- "simple" part being the day to day use. DP5Bank is the result of several
- years of experience/feedback from Series 3x DPBank users.
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- 1)Make sure you have ticked the "Show 'System' folder" in your System
- preferences.
-
- 2)Create a \System\Apps\DP5Bank\ folder on any drive.
-
- 3)Copy all the files except this one into that folder.
-
- The DP5Bank icon will then appear on your Extras bar.
-
- Instructions
- ============
-
- You will be asked to enter a group name for your accounts. This can be
- anything in fact (but must not contain spaces). Then just let the
- program guide you.
-
- Be sure to read the help file thoroughly; this completely replaces the
- manual.
-
- Upgrading from the Series3a/c
- =============================
-
- If you are "upgrading" from DPBank, then things are not that easy. I'd
- suggest starting completely a new, but if you really want to keep some
- of your old data, then you have to follow these steps:
-
- 1)Start DP5Bank and create your currencies, accounts and standing
- orders. (set all opening balances to 0)
-
- 2)On your Series 3x, export all accounts from DPBank in Quicken (qif)
- format.
-
- 3)Transfer these files without conversion from your 3x to your 5 (in any
- folder).
-
- 4)Import each account with the Quicken import feature of DP5Bank (in
- Payee field).
-
- Drawback: cheque numbers will not be accepted because of the new cheque
- display format of DP5Bank (ie: number only enclosed between [...] )
-
- Also, please note that, due to the huge amount of time it took me to
- "port" the program, DPBank registration codes do not work with DP5Bank.
- Read the help file for details.
-
- Registering
- ===========
-
- Please read the help file topic on this regard. I can now accept
- directly EuroCard/MasterCard and Visa credit cards.
