- Thanks very much for trying my Business Accounting System software.
- Included in your distribution set should be the following files:
-
- README.DOC - this file
-
- BA.DOC - System Documentation file. It's approximately 100 typed pages
- and has page breaks already inserted, so don't try printing it with any
- utility that inserts its own page breaks. Other than the kind just
- mentioned, use your favorite utility to print the file, or to print the
- file with a DOS command, enter the following from the DOS prompt:
-
- COPY BA.DOC PRN or TYPE BA.DOC > PRN
-
- STARTUP.DOC - Handy tips for when you wish to go "live" with this
- software.
-
- ORDER.DOC - An Order Form for registering the Business Accounting
- System. The order form can also be found at the end of the documentation
- file. Please register this software if you wish to utilize it for your
- own business needs. See the licensing section in the documentation file
- for additional information on this.
-
- BA.EXE and BA.OVL - These are the executable program files. Needless
- to say, you can't run the software without these.
-
- Assorted Data files:
-
- BASYSMST.DBF - System Master file
- BACLIENT.DBF - Client file
- BAITEM.DBF - Item file
- BAEXPCAT.DBF - Expense Category data file
- BAEXPDET.DBF - Expense Distribution detail file
- BAEXPHDR.DBF - Expense Distribution header file
- BAINVHDR.DBF - Invoice header file
- BAINVDET.DBF - Invoice line item detail file
- BAARPAY.DBF - Accounts Receivable Payments file
- BAHARPAY.DBF - Historical AR Payments file
- BAHEXPDE.DBF - Historical Expense Distribution detail file
- BAHEXPHD.DBF - Historical Expense Distribution header file
- BAHINVHD.DBF - Historical Invoice header file
- BAHINVDE.DBF - Historical Invoice line item detail file
-
- Assorted Database Text files:
-
- BACLIENT.DBT - Client Notepad database text file
- BAINVDET.DBT - Supplemental descriptions for invoice line item detail
-
- If any of the above files are not present when you start the BA system,
- you'll receive a system warning error message informing you of this so
- your can rectify this problem.
-
- Index Files - These have the extensions NTX. They may or may not be
- present within the Distribution set. If not present, they will
- automatically be recreated when you start the system.
-
-
- A Special Note:
-
- As you utilize this software, you'll probably notice the box explosions
- which occur throughout the software. These explosions are probably fast
- enough for most all 286 and 386 machines, however, this may not be
- tolerable for slower 8088 and 8086 machines. If you wish to speed up the
- explosions for use on your machine, set the following DOS environmental
- varible in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or another start-up batch file:
-
- SET BADELAY=OFF
-
- Be sure NOT to place any spaces on either side of the "=" sign,
- otherwise this will not work.
-
- If while attempting to set this varible, you receive a DOS error
- message, "Out of Environment Space", modify your CONFIG.SYS file to add
- or revise the following line:
-
- SHELL=<drive/path> <command interpreter filename> /P /E:n
-
- The "n" in the "/E:' parameter designates the number of bytes available
- for environment varibles, such as 128, 256, 384, 512, etc.. Below is an
- example of this statement:
-
- SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:512
-
- Once you have modified your CONFIG.SYS file, reboot your computer and
- try the "SET BADELAY=OFF" statement again.
