- CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT
-
-
- PREPARATION:
-
- It is suggested that you first put a write protect tab on the master disk and
- print the CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT Manual, by typing at the DOS prompt,
-
- COPY CA-DOC PRN
-
-
-
- If you format a blank disk with the system command (FORMAT A:/S) there may NOT
- be enough room on the disk to copy all of the files on the master disk.
-
- To make a working disk, copy all the files with the exception of this READ.ME
- file, and the CA-DOC file. (Ex. at the DOS prompt type COPY CA.* B:)

-
- MONTH CHECK FILE:
-
- CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT uses information within the FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO section
- when it "makes" a MONTH CHECK file. The MONTH CHECK file contains information
- concerning your bank account, income and libailities, which it provides for
- use within the TRANSACTION screens. Whenever CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT is run for
- the 1st time during a month, the MONTH CHECK file for that month is not pres-
- ent and the program prompts you whether it should make it or not. If you
- have NOT added your information to the FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO section (account,
- income and liabilities) then answer this prompt "NO". Any information added
- to the FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO section during the month will NOT appear in the
- present MONTH CHECK file. Only after the next MONTH CHECK file is made will
- all the information currently available (in the FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO) be
- carried over.

-
- ON LINE HELP:
-
- In order to get on-line help the CA.HLP file must be on the default drive and
- if you are using a subdirectory, the logged subdirectory.
-

-
- COLOR MODE:
-
- On start up, CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT automatically determines the type of display
- card in your system. If you have a CGA type display card with a composite
- monitor attached, the program can NOT determine whether your monitor can
- display color. If you have a monochrome composite monitor attached to a Color
- Graphics Adapter (CGA) card, it will be necessary for you to override the
- automatic decision making process.
-
- Select "SETUP" from the MAIN MENU and select display mode "MONO" from the
- configuration menu. If you need further information, please refer to chapter
- 7 of the USER MANUAL.

-
- PRIMARY DATA DRIVE:
-
- CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT is loaded and run from the default drive and expects ONLY
- to find the configuration and help files on the default drive. For the DATA
- files however, you have to tell CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT where it can find them.
-
- The configuration file, as supplied on the master disk, is configured to tell
- CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT to look for the data files on drive "A", and during the
- initialization of the program, CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT checks to determine if the
- files are present.
-
- If you have a hard disk and copy all the files to the hard disk, then the
- FIRST TIME that you run CHECKBOOK ASSISTANT it will be necessary for you to put
- the master disk in drive "A" and select "SETUP" from the MAIN MENU. Then under
- PRIMARY DATA DRIVE select "C" from the configuration menu. If you need further
- information, please refer to chapter 7 of the USER MANUAL.
