- The Home Accountant
- (c) Dragonwarez 1992 - 1993
- Version 1.10
- Introduction
-
-
- WHAT?
-
- This program is designed to help you manage a set of
- separate home accounts called a transaction base. That is, it
- will allow you to maintain an account database, budget account
- expenditures, and obtain a basic balance for an account or a
- transaction base.
-
-
- WHY?
-
- I decided to develop this when I tried to find a program
- which performed these functions. I did find some programs which
- perform the function my program does but there were a couple
- things missing.
-
- First of all, other programs of this nature seemed to
- cover only checkbooks. My program is applicable to any sort of
- account you may wish to track.
-
- Second, other programs lack an ease of use that you will
- find here. I use a lot of direct one keypress hot-keys so a
- user may move easily through an account.
-
- My program is not as fast at sorting and disk access,
- but ease of use makes this disadvantage negligible. Also, the
- sorting feature may be turned off with the in-house preferences.
-
- POLICY:
-
- This package is Freeware. In another words, this software
- is completely free. You need not feel guilty about using it
- without paying for it, because that is exactly what I want you to
- do. The only thing I ask is that you do not take credit for it.
- Dragonwarez is registered in the US, so if anyone shows up taking
- credit for it (besides me), you will be <insert your favorite form
- of legal torture here>. Therefore this archive, all its files,
- and "The Home Accountant" are all Copyright 1992-1993 by
- Dragonwarez. You may freely redistribute this program anywhere
- you like. In whatever manner you do this your distribution
- should have the following files:

- Home_Accountant.DOC
- Home_Accountant.DOC.info
- The_Home_Accountant (script to start from WB)
- The_Home_Accountant.info

- There are to be no charges made for this program. Any
- media costs associated with this program will total $1.00
- (American) or less.
-
- I hereby give permission to any second party to modify the
- source and redistribute it for non-profit purposes. Also this new
- distribution must include the original text files included in this
- distribution. Mention must be made of me, the original author, by
- the second party when releasing this modified version. I hope this
- works to the benefit of all who use this package.
-
- DISCLAIMER: I will not be responsible for ANY damage that
- results directly or indirectly from the use of this software.
- Example: your hard drive goes nuts while using this program and
- you lose valuable data. I am not responsible for it. Another
- example: you make a financial decision based on a figure this
- software produced for you, and you lose your shirt. It's not my
- problem. This software does not make decisions for you. It's
- up to you how you use it. Please understand though, this
- program has nothing in it that I put there that is intended to
- damage anything. This is just to release myself from "implied
- responsibilities" that some greedy, unscrupulous person may try
- to exploit.
-
-
- My hope for this program is that it will repay the Amiga
- community in two ways. The first way is to simply have a good
- piece of software available for all to use which does these
- functions. The second is that people will save money through the
- use of this program. Maybe these hopes are too far fetched, but I
- would hope not since other packages have fulfilled similar goals.
-
- If you have questions, suggestions, bug reports, etc then
- you may get a hold of me in two ways. The first, and probably the
- best, is email via the Internet. My address is
- platt@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu. If you do not have email access on
- the Internet then conventional mail will serve just fine. When
- contacting me in this manner, enclose a self addressed envelope
- with sufficient postage and mail your letter (and the envelope)
- to:
-
- Vincent Platt
- 908 - 18th Street North
- Moorhead, MN 56560
- USA
-
- If you do not enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope
- then I may or may not return a response.
-
- The above addresses are in the About item in the program
- so just use that if you don't care to refer back to this file.
-
- I hope you all find this useful!!!
