Easy Banker V1.0 ©1989 Patrick Goudeau

Boring stuff:
This program is NOT public domain, nor Shareware. The author (me!)
retains all rights. Easy Banker is Copyrighted, therefore it may not be
sold by anyone without my permission. This program may be distributed
freely as long as all the files in the archive accompany it.
Easy Banker V1.0
Easy Banker V1.0 keeps track of your Checking Account while remaining easy
to use! When loading the program for the first time, make sure that the
current directory is the one that you want the data file to be in. Upon
loading Easy Banker, it looks in the current directory for for the datafile,
and if it can't find it there, it will create a new one. Its best if the
datafile is on disk and NOT in ram, as this datafile will continue to grow
when inputing transactions.
After Easy Banker has finished loading and is now running, you will see 10
gadgets. In clockwise order (starting at CHANGE CURRENT BALANCE) they are:
CHANGE CURRENT BALANCE DISPLAY INPUT INPUT
BALANCE CHECKBOOK TRANSACTIONS DEPOSITS WITHDRAWLS
QUIT ABOUT DISPLAY PRINT EDITOR
CALANDER TRANSACTIONS
If you have loaded Easy Banker for the first time, click on the CHANGE
CURRENT BALANCE gadget and input the current or starting balance that you
will be using. This should be done upon starting a new checking account.
After you have done this, there is no other setup to do. You may then start
using Easy Banker to keep track of your records.
Once you have started your account using the CHANGE CURRENT BALANCE, the
remaining selections should now be used:
BALANCE CHECKBOOK:
Click on this gadget when you have received your monthly statement from your
bank. A requester will pop up asking you to enter the ending balance from
your statement. Hit OK to accept the value that you input for the ending
balance. Then, on the top half of the screen, you will see a transaction
printed, and you will be asked if this is on your statement. If it is, type
"Y" for yes, if not, type "N" for no. Easy Banker will keep asking you this
for each transaction that you entered until it reaches the end of the datafile.
If the Easy Banker balance matches that of your adjusted bank statement, it
will tell you "CONGRATULATIONS! Your checking account balances." If your
adjusted bank statement and your Easy Banker balance do not match, you will
see the differences. Then you must find your mistake and take whatever steps
are neccessary to correct it. SEE EDITOR.
DISPLAY TRANSACTIONS:
Clicking on this gadget will display your transactions 5 at a time, then
prompt you to continue or not. If there are less than 5 displayed, or there
are no more transactions, you will have 5 seconds to read them, then the
window will clear and the ABOUT information will be displayed.
INPUT DEPOSITS:
Clicking on this gadget will let you enter transactions that are DEPOSITS
which are to be added to your account. First is the deposit number. If you
do not have a deposit number, just hit RETURN and go to the Date. When
entering the date, it must be entered in the format of: 012689 which is
01-26-89 . You will then be asked for the description. Enter anything that
you want. You are allowed up to 25 characters for the description. Finally,
you are asked to enter the AMOUNT. Please be carefull when entering this.
The amount must NOT be entered with a decimal. For example: if you wanted to
enter the amount of $55.73 you would type 5573. The last 2 digits are
automatically placed after the decimal for you. Finally, when all data is
entered correctly, hit the OK gadget. If you attempt to hit the OK gadget
without entering an amount the requester will not go away until you enter
an amount, or you hit the CANCEL gadget.
INPUT WITHDRAWALS:
Clicking on this gadget will let you enter transactions that are WITHDRAWALS
which are to be subtracted from your account. Entering this information is the
same as the process for entering data for a DEPOSIT.
QUIT:
This exits the program.
ABOUT:
This will display the ABOUT info which is displayed upon loading of the
program.
DISPLAY CALENDER:
This will display the current month of the current year, with the current
day highlighted. If the SYSTEM time and date are incorrect, this will not be
displayed accurately.
PRINT TRANSACTIONS:
This will print all of the transactions that you have entered to your
printer; if you have one.
EDITOR:
This will allow you to EDIT the last transaction that was inputed. Entering
this information is the same as the process for entering data for a DEPOSIT
and a WITHDRAWAL. Easy Banker will automatically update your current balance
if there is a change in the amount for the last transaction entered.
This program was written in Benchmark Modula-2. I would like to thank
the following people, who in one way or the other, helped me to finish
this program:
Mark Lanoux who gave me programming tips, help, suggestions.
Paul Trauth who drew the great icon, gadgets, and software logo.
Thanx Paul!

Other great(?) software from UnderSea World Software:
SafeBoot -- Allows owners of commercial disks with special
V2.4a boot code on them to save the boot block.
This boot block can then be restored to your
disk if a boot block virus infects your disks
rendering them useless.
FT -- Stands for Format Type; this little utility
V1.0 will help you remember what type of format
a floppy disk is IF you are using FFS on
your floppies. Yes, this can be done, using
another PD program AutoDiskChange which
can be found on most all the nets. FT will
print a little message in a small Workbench
window telling you what the format type of
each disk in your drives are as they are
inserted.
CVT
V1.0 -- CVT ( i.e. ConVerT ) allows the user to change
specified bytes in a file to any byte that
you specify. The byte pairs (original value and
the new value) are read in from an ASCII script
file and CVT can handle files of any size.
This is useful in translating text files from
PETASCII - C64 ASCII - Ed (and even to
ATASCII..if you really have to?!).
SmallMem -- This one's real simple: SmallMem displays
V2.0 available CHIP/FAST ram in a small WorkBench
window. SmallMem is only 804 bytes and
therefore has VERY little overhead, both in
memory and disk space!
