Software And Consulting Harry P Calevas P.O. Box 830 Trenton Ga 30752 Checkbook program THIS CHECKING PROGRAM IS AT PRESENT VERY ROUGH,but it does work.I have just converted it from my apple system to my pc system, and it was working fine there, and I have been using it on my apple for almost 10 years. I have included it at this time because I had a diskette mailing and I wanted to fill up the diskette. 1: At present this program can only print checks on the Deluxe Style 1013 checks; blank stub at top and check at bottom 42 lines long and 85 characters wide. 2: Start up is not easy but it does work. If you only have one bank it should work fine; but you must use the same diskette/disk (as setup ) for checkbook operations . If needed the files that control the operation can be modified with any ASCII file type editor (like Norton Commander/ Sidekick / etc.). When asked for the bank code enter the bank filename that you want to use. REMEMBER, FILENAME IS 8 CHARACTERS OR LESS. THE PROGRAM WILL ADD THE EXTENSION. Parts of that name will be printed on the check along with the check number. The setup correction is not easy but it will work ,but use care here! Make your backups ! First! Some times it takes 2 or 3 passes . dont change directory names, I have not fixed that yet. If you must change drives or directories us an ASCII editor and then copy the files to the new places. Banklst and Standard.chk files are in the same directory; Bankname and Bank files can be in any other directory (but the same one) This checkbook program is just a check register to keep track of you checks and will produce a printed register as needed. use it. The original list is deleted and a new one started when a recap is done (correctly). Outstanding deposits and checks will be copied to the new file. This program is to help balance the check book register, and print some checks. The base path is used for the bank list file and the standard check files. The bank files can be in any directory on the same disk/diskette. Once setup the program is generally menu driven. The program normally asks for what it wants!. Use care with this program , it works but is not mistake proof! Wrong keys can cause problems and errors. If you save a printed register deposit list with each completed recap then you will only have to renter one month if you lose the file . ( Make Backups.) Corrections to deposits are made by setting to original deposit amount to 0 and adding anew deposit for the correct amount, the program will correct the balance. The checks are deleted by correcting to a 0 amount. Items deleted will be removed at the next complete recap. Use care with duplicate check numbers only the first one entered will be found when correcting or recapping the file!. SORTED list will tell you if you have duplicate check numbers. Deposits are dated but no use of the date is made yet. When entering a deposit ,you will be asked to put the deposit slip in the printer, put in front of the print head ,BETWEEN THE PRINT Checking Checkbook program HEAD AND THE PAPER, long ways, and you will have a marked receipt to show it has been entered into the system! DECIMAL POINTS ARE NOT NEEDED WHEN ENTERING AMOUNTS BUT ALL THE ZEROS MUST BE ENTERED , 100.00 = 10000 Etc. , the program will put in the decimal points. Checking General Program Information Please note the following: This program was originally written to do something I needed to do! Now I think others may find it useful; It may or may not work for You. But, I have no way of knowing that unless you drop me a letter and tell me so. I will try to fix all problems I find out about; If you send me enough information to do so. For reference the following is my system configuration: note that I have drives A: to K: !! Please Feel free to write or call (If You Have to money to Spend!) Thanks Much ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ I suggest that you make a copy of the original diskette before you get started. COLOR GRAPHICS ADAPTOR REQUIRED Please Note That this program REQUIRES that you have a COLOR GRAPHICS ADAPTOR installed to run and that this program MAY NOT RUN ON a Monochrome Adaptor. I have setup the program for operation with a monochrome adaptor (maybe) but it has not been tested on a monochrome adaptor since I do not Have one installed in my system! (So it may still not run on a monochrome adaptor.) I use Color Video Page Switching for some (most) of my messages INCLUDING the error messages! BUT you dont need a Color monitor to use my program. Please Advise If You have problems using this program on a Monochrome Adaptor card. (MDA) Evaluation Copy If this is an evaluation copy (check copyright message)then: 1: IT should be registered (and fee Paid) if you find it useful and continue to use it. THIS IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE 2: THERE IS NO OTHER DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REGISTERED AND UNREGISTERED PROGRAM VERSIONS. PROGRAM SUPPORT I will support any and all copies of my program, registered and not registered for as long as there seems to be a need and normally at no charge. BUT: At some point I will expect payment of the registration fee for unregistered copies at the fee listed in the latest version that you have received!! There will be no charge for support (except maybe Your postage ) up to that point. General information General Program Information I charge an Disk update fee for general updates to the latest versions of running programs as listed in this documentation. SPECIAL FILE NAMES ---- PLEASE READ I have Decided to use the Following Filenames As work files: $CALEVAS.xx$ , $xxCALEV.AS$ etc. XX can be anything and the extension may change some ;like $calev.as$ etc. But since no one else should be using my name for there file names I will WRITE and / or ERASE these files AT WILL with no checking before hand !! MY files will be created in the DEFAULT DRIVE ROOT DIRECTORY AND OR The DIRECTORY THAT THIS PROGRAM WAS LOADED FROM and may or may not be erased after their use. Some of my other programs may use the results.(ie.-Like The Last Used Printer Settings) If you have files with these names you should remove them from the ROOT DIRECTORY on the Current DEFAULT drive and/or the Program load directory before running any Of my programs. I give this warning to anyone using my name as a filename; their files may be erased !!!! Sometimes I may Use Other Directories for my files ,but they will be erased (or you may have a choice). It Is very hard to decide on work files so as not to destroy anyone's Data, so this is the way I must do this. I Will TRY NOT TO LEAVE FILES ANYWHERE EXCEPT IN THE CURRENT DEFAULT DRIVE ! And I will try to make a note as to which program uses what files. 3 Apr 92 I am In the process of changing to .CNF, .INI, and .DEF type File extensions so use care with this Program, these files will have the same base name as this program but I may need some other extensions also, I will try to make notes as to what names I use. PLEASE READ THE ABOVE !!!! Please note that no provision has been made so far for a disk full condition !. This means that the maximum size file that can be processed on a 360K diskette is approximately 160K IF NO OTHER FILES ARE ON THAT DISKETTE. This applies to disk writes (print Images and any work files used ) to diskettes. Generally you must have at least as much space left on the disk as the program file you are processing used. Hard disks should not be a real problem unless you are 98 % full!! 6 June 1990 Version Numbers are no longer valid, program is now dated. Version numbers could be anything! (at present reset to 0.00 ) and will be updated at any change for my use only. The version numbers can General information General Program Information have a very wide range of numbers and will be changed each time the file is loaded to make any correction, even a spelling change!! Sometimes I may change it to tell me something important. Or I may even reset it to 0! The program date is now use for program control information IT is now important to use the forms in this file to request information and program support and registration since the document date is now printed along with the program name and it will help me tell which document (date) file you may have. It would be nice if you sent a printed screen of the copyright message if you write. Thanks much 27 Apr 1991 Please note that this manual is an add on document. Please read the complete manual for any added instructions. Changes Are added to the bottom of sections of this manual and dated. The manual will be rewritten only When and as Needed.
