GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEDLIN ACCOUNTING SHAREWARE
This disk contains the five programs of the Medlin
Accounting Shareware System:
PC-GL Double Entry General Ledger
PC-AR Accounts Receivable
PC-PR Payroll Writing
PC-AP Accounts Payable
PCINV Invoice Writing
Registration is $25 for the PCINV program and $35 for each
of the other programs. The registration fee entitles you to
telephone support and a configuration program to change several
parameters of the program. Send a check to:
Jerry Medlin
1461 Sproul Ave.
Napa, CA. 94559
An order form is at the end of this manual. To charge,
call (707) 255-4475 between the hours of 8AM to 6PM, Pacific
time. We accept Master Card and Visa only. You may also fax
the order form to 707-255-9266.
INTEGRATING THE PROGRAMS
With the exception of PC-AP, the programs are not
"integrated". This means to get the sales totals from the
Accounts Receivable program to the General Ledger program you
must make a journal entry. Likewise, the payroll totals need to
be entered each month into the general ledger program. Once you
are familiar with the programs, this takes only a few minutes
per month, and is more convenient than having all of the sales
and payroll detail transferred to the general ledger program
automatically. The PC-GL manual includes a section on posting
payroll and sales data to the General Ledger.
POP-UP CALCULATOR
All Medlin Accounting programs have a built in four
function pop-up calculator that works like a standard pocket
calculator (if there is such a thing). Press the F10 key and a
small box will appear in the lower right of your screen. Enter
a number and use the +, -, *, or / keys to add, subtract,
multiply or divide. If you call the calculator from a numerical
entry field, (when _________.__ is displayed), the calculated
amount may be plugged into the entry field. Press the Enter key
twice when leaving the pop-up calculator to plug the calculated
amount.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
The configuration programs available to registered users
allow you to specify a data path and colors for each program.
You may also specify the desired data path and colors by adding
them to the command line separated by blank spaces. The
commands are in the following order: DATA PATH, BORDER COLOR,
DATA COLOR, PROMPT COLOR AND BACKGROUND COLOR. For example, if
you run PC-GL by typing:
PC-GL B: 3 14 10 1
the program looks for data on the B: drive and uses Cyan
borders, Yellow data, Light Green prompts with a Blue
background.
The programs always default to the color mode if you have a
color board in your computer. Adding /bw to the command line
will force the programs to run without colors if your computer
has a color or graphics board and a monochrome monitor.
THE KEYBOARD
The programs make liberal use of the PC's ten key pad for
both numbers and commands. At some places in the programs, the
10 key pad produces numbers and at other times the 10 key pad
produces directional commands. The programs disreguard the Num
Lock status, so it is unnecessary to turn your Num Lock on and
off as you switch from arrow keys to numbers. The 10 key pad
will produce numbers or commands depending on what is needed at
that point in the program. One slight side effect of this
process is that for keyboards having separate arrow keys,
pressing the arrow keys will produce numbers at times when the
arrow keys are not needed.
These programs have been developed and refined over a
period of six years. I'm sure you'll find them better than
anything else available. So, relax, take a deep breath and get
your books in order.
