**** BUDGET-MASTER ****
Written by: Dennis Bloomfield
Budget Master for the C-64
Commodore Microcomputers, June 1985
Page 100
BUDGET-MASTER is for those who might
have a little problem when it comes
to managing expenses. The program is
a friendly, menu-oriented budget
manager. It allows you to manage up
to 16 different expenses per month.
The program records the ideal and real
expenses for each month, the amount of
money left after expenses, and the
difference between real and ideal. In
addition, the program can create
reports for one to twelve months.
When entering any money amounts,
always remember to use the plus (+) or
minus (-) signs. This program
requires you to use these.
*** NOTE ***
If you happen to press RUN/STOP
while in the middle of running the
program, simply type GOTO 100 and
press RETURN. After this, you will be
returned to the main menu.
**** VERY SPECIAL NOTE ****
In the original version of BUDGET-
MASTER, you had to change DATA
statements to customize the program
for your own situation. Because we
at LOADSTAR thought this wasn't a
great idea, we decided to modify the
program a bit. Now, instead of DATA
statements, the information is kept
in a SEQuential file that is named
'BUDGET.FILE'. We have also added the
option to 'Generate/alter catagories'.
It is the first option in the main
of the program. When you choose this
option, you can change either the
actual catagories (such as rent, food,
etc..) or you can change the ideal
amounts for each catagory. To change
any item, simply input its number when
the computer asks 'change which?'.
You will then be asked for the new
catagory or amount. If you decide you
don't won't to change it, simply press
RETURN. After you have input the
new information, all of the catagories
or amounts will be reprinted to the
screen. You will now have the chance
to change anything else. By pressing
'\', you will return to a small menu
where you can choose to change some
more items. From this small menu, you
can also return the the main menu by
pressing '\' again. When you do this,
the BUDGET.FILE will be rewritten with
your new changes and you will be
returned to the main menu. We hope
that this option will help you to
customize the program to fit your
individual needs.
