- SHARP is a set of spreadsheets and documentation for Lotus 123
- Release 2 or later, or Borland Quattro Pro. SHARP helps you manage your
- personal finances by breaking your checking account into several separate
- categories, such as Food, Mortgage, Utilities, etc., however you wish, and
- maintaining separate balances for each. SHARP will automatically
- partition paychecks or other deposits into your multiple categories in
- whatever proportions you decide. Needless to say, SHARP also handles all
- the arithmetic for tracking account balances and reconciling your
- checkbook with your bank statement.
-
- SHARP is simple to use even for people completely unfamiliar with
- spreadsheets. Some basic spreadsheet commands are necessary only when
- customizing SHARP, but after that all operations are performed by single-
- key macro commands.
-
- With your checkbook split into functional categories and money being
- deposited into the categories at the rate they require, YOU will be making
- the decisions, rather than the money "spending itself"! You will be fully
- aware of where your money goes, and how much. You will be able to save for
- retirement accounts, holiday gifts, children's college, and special
- purchases, because the money for these items is kept separate, almost like
- having several actual bank accounts (only much more convenient).
-
- Install SHARP on your computer and try it. Feel free to share it
- with friends. It should give you more control over your money than ever
- before. If you like it, please send $15 and the registration form at the
- end of SHARP.DOC to the address shown above. Thank you for your support.
-
- TO PRINT THE SHARP DOCUMENTATION
- Enter the following command at the DOS prompt:
- copy sharp.doc prn
-
- TO GET STARTED
- You need to have 123 or Quattro Pro on your computer, and know the
- directories where your spreadsheet lives and where it stores its
- worksheets. Use the /Worksheet Global Default Directory command in 123
- (or /Options Startup Directory in Quattro Pro) to determine your worksheet
- directory. SHARP must be installed on your computer before you can use
- it. Enter the following command at the DOS prompt:
- install
-
- and follow the directions. Now you can experiment a little with SHARP, but
- you will need to customize it before you can really take advantage of it.
- Refer to SHARP.DOC for details.
