Longer Description:
HBMS is an easy to use financial record-keeping and reporting
system. Users have complete flexibility in the way they design
their accounts, allowing them to track not only checkbooks, but any
income, expense, asset or liability. You can find out exactly where
the money went (and how much is left)! Budgeting is also allowed, and
compared. It has a simple and fast data entry method, and
transactions can be split into 14 different accounts. There are
extensive screen reports, and 10 printed reports (printed reports can
also be directed to a file). Some other features are transaction
editing, and the ability to save recurrent or similar transactions to
a "template" with optional reminder flags (due dates) for automatic
entry. HBMS handles up to 12 checking accounts for reconciliation,
and/or check printing. There is support for fiscal years other than
the calendar year, and there is 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. New features for version 4.3 include an INSTALL
program which also prints the documentation, a pop-up calculator,
macros (multiple functions assignable to a function key), and support
for foreign date formats and currency symbols.
Changes 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.
2. New "password" feature, personalizes your copy of HBMS.
3. A Pop-Up calculator!!!! <F3>
4. Macro support assigns multiple keystrokes and/or operations to
a function key. <F4>
5. <F1> key pops up a reminder of other function keys.
6. <F2> now calls the Code-Help screen originally assigned to <F1>
Code-Help now makes use of other <KEYPAD> keys!
7. Support for foreign date formats and currency symbols.
8. "JUMP to DOS" capability from Main Menu or Action prompt.
9. Select between two "calculator" styles of numerical entry.
10. EMS memory support for overlay file. (speeds up loading overlays)
11. Two new command line parameters NOEMS and NOSOUND.

MTD totals to the new year's budget figures.
