╨┼╥╙╧╬┴╠ ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ 128 BY ╫.╩. ┬RIER ╨┼╥╙╧╬┴╠ ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ 128 IS A FULL-FEATURED PROGRAM THAT CAN SUPPLEMENT OR REPLACE THE CONVENTIONAL CHECKBOOK. ┴LL OF THE USUAL TRANSACTIONS THAT ARE RECORDED IN A REGULAR CHECKBOOK ARE SUPPORTED IN THIS PROGRAM. ┴DDITIONALLY, ╨┼╥╙╧╬┴╠ ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ 128 (HEREAFTER REFERRED TO AS ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS) CAN PRINT CHECKS, MAINTAIN A FILE OF FREQUENTLY USED PAYEES AND CHECK MEMOS, AND RECONCILE OR BALANCE THE ACCOUNT. ╒NLIKE A CONVENTIONAL CHECKBOOK ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ IS NOT HAMPERED BY MATHEMATICAL ERRORS OR CARELESS RECORD KEEPING. ┼NTRIES CAN BE QUICKLY AND EASILY LOCATED USING A VARIETY OF SEARCHES. ╒SING ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ REQUIRES NO SPECIAL SKILLS ON THE PART OF THE USER. ┴LMOST ALL OPERATIONS ARE SELECTED FROM MENUS AND DO NOT REQUIRE MEMORIZING SPECIAL CODE SEQUENCES. ╘HE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO RUN THIS PROGRAM IS A ├OMMODORE ├-128 COMPUTER, COMPATIBLE DISK DRIVE, SUCH AS THE ├OMMODORE 1571, A VIDEO MONITOR CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING 80 COLUMNS AND A COMPATIBLE PRINTER. ╓ERSION 6.0 SUPPORTS ALL ├OMMODORE PRINTERS AS WELL AS MANY NON-├OMMODORE PRINTERS INTERFACED TO THE SERIAL PORT. ╔. ╟┼╬┼╥┴╠ ─┼╙├╥╔╨╘╔╧╬ 1. ╨ROGRAM ├APABILITIES ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ PERMITS MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENTRIES AND PERMITS SELECTIVELY DISPLAYING AND MANIPULATING RECORDS THUS GENERATED. ╔N THIS DESCRIPTION A SINGLE ENTRY IS REFERRED TO AS A ╘╥┴╬╙┴├╘╔╧╬. ┴ TRANSACTION COULD BE A CHECK, A DEPOSIT, AN AUTOMATIC INTEREST PAYMENT, AUTOTELLER (AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINE) WITHDRAWAL AND SO FORTH. ╘HE SUCCESSION OF TRANSACTIONS THUS PRODUCED IS CONTAINED IN A DISK-BASED ENDLESS FILE THAT IS DIVIDED INTO 2000 INDIVIDUAL ╥┼├╧╥─╙, EACH RECORD CONTAINING ONE COMPLETE TRANSACTION. ╫HEN THE LAST (2000TH) RECORD HAS BEEN WRITTEN INTO, THE PROGRAM STARTS OVER AT RECORD NUMBER ONE (HENCE THE "ENDLESS" DESCRIPTION). ╘HIS STYLE OF RECORD-KEEPING ASSURES THAT ADEQUATE FILE SPACE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE AND THAT ANY TRANSACTION CAN BE SEARCHED FOR AND RETRIEVED BY ANY ONE OF SEVERAL SEARCH PARAMETERS. ┬ASED ON A TYPICAL ENTRY RATE OF 400 TRANSACTIONS PER YEAR APPROXIMATELY FIVE YEARS WILL ELAPSE BEFORE THE FILE WILL START AT RECORD NUMBER ONE AGAIN. ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ AUTOMATICALLY KEEPS TRACK OF THE RECORDS WHEN THEY ARE USED AND TAKES CARE OF ALL THE DETAILS FOR YOU. ┴LL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ENTER TRANSACTIONS. ┴S TRANSACTIONS ARE RECORDED THE BALANCE WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY RECALCULATED AND DISPLAYED. ┴LSO, CERTAIN TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS WILL BE MARKED OR "FLAGGED" AS TRANSACTIONS REQUIRING BANK CLEARANCE OR PROCESSING. ╘HESE TRANSACTIONS ARE ─┼╨╧╙╔╘╙, ├╚┼├╦╙ (MANUALLY WRITTEN OR COMPUTER-GENERATED) AND ┴╒╘╧╘┼╠╠┼╥ ╫╔╘╚─╥┴╫┴╠╙. ╫HEN THE ACCOUNT IS RECONCILED FLAGGED TRANSACTIONS WILL BE RETRIEVED AND DISPLAYED FOR CLEARANCE. ┴T ANY TIME, YOUR CHECKING FILE MAY BE SEARCHED AND DISPLAYED. ┴ SOPHISTICATED CROSS-SEARCH SYSTEM ENABLES ONE TO RETRIEVE TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE USER-SELECTABLE INFORMATION. ┘OU ARE GIVEN THE OPTION OF DISPLAYING THESE TRANSACTIONS ON THE MONITOR SCREEN OR ON THE PRINTER. ╘O FACILITATE THE ENTRY OF PAYEES AND CHECK MEMOS THAT ARE USED ON A RECURRING BASIS (SUCH AS IN THE CASE OF PAYING UTILITY BILLS, MORTGAGES, ETC.) ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ SUPPORTS AN EASY TO USE "SHORTHAND" ENTRY SYSTEM FOR PAYEES AND MEMOS. ╘HIS SYSTEM ELIMINATES THE REPETITION OF TYPING IN THE SAME PAYEES AND MEMOS EVERY MONTH. ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ MAKES IT EASY TO ADD OR REMOVE PAYEES AND MEMOS FROM THE FILE AND ALSO PERMITS THE PAYEE MEMOS FILE TO BE PRINTED ON THE PRINTER FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES. ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ RUNS IN 80 COLUMN FAST MODE AND IS WRITTEN ENTIRELY IN MACHINE LANGUAGE FOR MAXIMUM SPEED. ┴LL CALCULATIONS ARE PERFORMED IN BINARY-CODED DECIMAL (┬├─) FORMAT, WHICH ELIMINATES THE OCCASIONAL ONE CENT ROUNDING ERRORS THAT OCCUR IN OTHER PROGRAMS THAT USE FLOATING POINT ARITHMETIC. ┴ MAXIMUM DOLLAR AMOUNT OF +9999.99 MAY BE ENTERED FOR A TRANSACTION. ├╚┼├╦╔╬╟ SUPPORTS A MAXIMUM BALANCE RANGE OF +/-99999.99, WHICH WILL BE ADEQUATE FOR MOST PERSONAL NEEDS. 2. ╟ETTING ╙TARTED ╘O GET
