OWL Basic Bookkeeping
Version 4 - for Windows
Copyright (c) 1996 - All Rights Reserved
Program Description
OWL Basic Bookkeeping is an easy-to-use program that maintains
complete and accurate accounting of income and expenses. In
creating Basic Bookkeeping, our objective was to produce a
program that was intuitive and required no prior knowledge of
accounting. Basic Bookkeeping uses the "single entry"
bookkeeping method that is recommended by the IRS. This
accounting method is easy to use and is equally suited for
small businesses and individuals.
With Basic Bookkeeping, you can produce a variety of expense,
income, profit and general ledger reports. You can define up
to 1000 different expense accounts to fully categorize your
expenses for tax purposes.
Version 4 employs the concept of folders where each folder
contains income and expense data that may be reported either
separately or in combination. Thus, Basic Bookkeeping may be
used for multiple businesses, multiple divisions within a
single business or for both business and personal accounting.
An import option within Basic Bookkeeping links the program to
our invoicing and sales management program (OASIS) allowing
direct transfer of income data from OASIS into Basic
Bookkeeping. OASIS provides complete tracking of sales,
customers and receivables. Using a combination of OASIS and
Basic Bookkeeping provides up to the minute visibility of your
bottom line.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
- A hard disk with approximately 1.5 Megabytes of available
space
- 4 Megabytes of memory.
UPGRADING FROM EARLIER VERSIONS (Versions 1 through 3 for DOS)
Complete instructions for upgrading your data files from Basic
Bookkeeping Versions 1 through 3 are contained in the user's
guide. When installing Basic Bookkeeping for Windows, DO NOT
install it in the same directory where your DOS version of
Basic Bookkeeping is installed.
INSTALLATION
To install OWL Basis Bookkeeping for Windows, use the Program
Manager to run BBKW45.EXE. For example, if you are installing
from drive A:
1. From the Program Manager File menu or Windows 95 Start
menu, choose Run.
2. In the Run dialog box, type "A:BBKW45" and choose OK.
The setup program offers the following installation options:
1. Installation Directory? If you already have a copy of BBK
for Windows on your hard disk, then choose the directory
where it is presently installed. The default is C:\OWL_BUS.
2. Backup Replaced Files?: Select "Yes" if you would like
the setup program to make backup copies of all files that
are replaced during the installation.
3. Full or Upgrade Installation? If you are installing to the
same drive and directory where BBK for Windows was previously
installed then choose the Upgrade Installation option. This
will prevent your existing BBK data files from being
overwritten.
The setup program creates a program group named "OWL Business
Apps" with icons for Basic Bookkeeping for Windows (BBK -
WIN), the Basic Bookkeeping User's Guide (BBK - User's Guide),
the Basic Bookkeeping Order Form (BBK - Order Form) and Basic
