- TEACHER/DOCTOR ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
-
-
- A series of programs to operate using Ashton-Tate's "Dbase II" Database manage-
- ment system. Menu-based and sequenced logically, it permits the non-accountant
- to:
-
- #1. Automatically send billing statements (using plain-white pin-feed
- paper) to all students or patients.
-
- #2. Keep track of incoming checks, credits, adjustments very simply.
-
- #3. On a monthly basis (or however your prefer):
-
- A. Print a recap of cash receipts, credits, etc.
- #1. For tax purposes, run a full report of income received
- for any given year.
-
- B. Print a full recap on financial "activity"
-
- C. Print an Ageing Report to quickly show who's getting
- behind in payments ... and for how long.
-
- #4. As desired, print either a listing of students/patients with their
- phone numbers or, if wished, a complete "Address Book" with the
- above plus the name/address of the payee.
-
- #5. Simple programs to automatically:
-
- A. Add new students/patients
- B. Edit or change the records on the above.
- C. Establish a database file of ex-students or ex-patients:
- #1. Deactivate a present student/patient to the "alumni" file.
- #2. Reactivate an alumnus (or alumna) to the "active" file.
- D. Run a blank attendence report for the new month for easy
- day-to-day recording of lessons or treatments.
-
- Hardware requirements:
-
- The System was developed for use on an EAGLE PC-2 (IBM PC compatible), and
- all printer codes and instructions are for the STAR SG-15 (same codes as used
- on the Epson FX series). A hard disk is not necessary, though it probably
- might be a trifle quicker.
-
- Presumption: DBF files will be on the same drive as the programs. If you
- change location, make appropriate changes in the programs that call up or
- refer to these DBF files.
-
- Acknowledgement with gratitude is given to many sources for ideas and di-
- rections employed in this System, such as the several excellent books of
- Messrs. Robert A. Byers, Adam B. Green and Carl Townsend on programming in
- "Dbase II". The "Teacher/Doctor Accounting System" is truly no more than
- organizing and applying procedures pioneered by such experts as these.
-
- **************
-
- "Teacher/Doctor Accounting System" is being distributed as "user-supported
- software." There is NO WARRANTY, implicit or implied, that it will work for
- you. The ONLY promise I can give is that it's worked for me for over two
- years, keeping accounts for a stable of about 70 "active" records and an
- alumni file of about 150 records. it should work just as well for files
- several times that large.
- **************
-
- If you find it has usefulness for you, a contribution to and registration with
- the author would be appreciated. $35.00 seems a fair amount.
- If you have any suggestions on how to improve it, they too would be grate-
- fully received ...
-
- If you have questions or problems in using it, drop me a note with the
- particulars and, as time permits, I'll try to help. I've seen how this
- "System" has taken the burden of tedious pencilwork away from me.
