- INTRODUCTION
- ============
-
- Wages is a payslip database/analyser for EPOC, designed to help you
- keep track of all your earnings.
-
- Once you've entered a few payslips into the program you will be able
- to use it for checking your P45/P60, finding out how much you've paid
- into the company pension scheme, predicting future gross/net earnings,
- keeping an eye on how much tax you are paying, etc. There are several
- graph functions for taking a closer analytical look at your wages, for
- keeping track of how many hours you are working, finding out how much
- you're being paid per hour, seeing how much of your income is lost
- through deductions, and so on.
-
- This might not sound like the most interesting or exciting thing to do
- on your Psion, but if used regularly it can become totally invaluable.
-
- Wages is fully compatible with PayAdvice for Win95/98, allowing you to
- use & update your files on your PC.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- This program is compatible with the Psion S5/5mx, Revo, S7, and most
- other EPOC machines. Not recommended for use on the Oregon Scientific
- Osaris.
-
- Installation uses approx 120K of disk space.
-
- Simply select WAGES.SIS to install it on your Psion, and everything
- should be installed for you automatically.
-
- Wages uses the following additional modules, which are all supplied
- with the program as SIS files:
-
- VWIN.SIS (VWin.opo V0.4, by Richard Panton)
- PERCENT.SIS (Percent.opm V2.20, by Francois Langinieux)
-
- If you haven't installed these on your system yet, or if you are using
- earlier versions of these modules, then you will need to install these
- before you can use Wages. Again all you need to do is select their SIS
- files and they will be installed automatically.
-
