- PC-Flow, the Personal Cash Flow Budgeting System, enables you to forecast
- and analyze your budget with an emphasis on daily cash flow. You can quickly
- and easily update cash flow data to reflect your current financial situation in
- order to assess your future cash flow. Each transaction may occur once or be
- repeated daily, weekly, or monthly. The analysis reports show projected cash
- flow. Breakdowns by classification over selectable time periods can also be
- produced. On-line help for all menus is available.
-
- If you were using a previous version of PC-Flow and want to upgrade to this
- version, copy the file PC-FLOW.EXE to the existing PC-Flow directory. PC-Flow
- will automatically handle the upgrade for the new version the next time you
- execute it.
-
- To execute PC-Flow, type "PCFLOW" at the DOS prompt. To view the manual on
- the disk, you may execute PC-Flow and use Menu 5 to print it or use the follow-
- ing commands in DOS:
-
- TYPE MANUAL -- displays the manual on your screen
- PRINT MANUAL -- prints the manual on your printer.
-
- If your DOS PATH is set to the DOS commands, you may stop the display from
- scrolling too fast off your screen by using the "TYPE MANUAL|MORE" command.
