NOTES:

Preferences window:

General: The Always Title Windows setting is noted, but not implimented.

Save: Settings are noted, but not implimented.

Security: The features are implimented, but the encryption routines are not, therefore there is no security and you should not use these features.

Undo: The Undo Manager is present and the settings are saved in the preferences file. However, the Undo Manager is not active yet.

Address Book window:

Find Again feature is not implimented.

Register window:

The Splits checkbox setting is noted (and is in the data base structure), but not implimented.

The Reconcile View is no longer a sort function. It modifies the display list directly (rather than through the sort list). This makes it easier to use and eliminates the show all and show functions from doing nothing when no records meet the selection requirements.

Windows menu:

The Tile Windows feature is not been finished.

The Iconize feature has not been implimented yet.

Address Book:

Is an attached featured and is hooked into Home Accounting's preference system rather than as another data base managed by the data base manager.

The address records are a part of the security system and are subject to encryption/decryption as determined by the security preferences.

Printing Text data:

The print engine for pure text output (Help, Address Book etc...) can only print the first page of text. To print everything, use Save As Text and open the text file in a word processor. The fields are separated by the tab (9) character. Lines are separated by the carrage return character (13). Format and print the data from a word processor (or text editor). If you want all the style info included in a printout you can copy the TEXT and styl resources of Home Accounting to another file with a resource editor (such as ResEdit from Apple). There are several text editors that will recognize those resources (you may have to split them up into individual files).

Patterns:

At present selected patterns from the Palette Manager are not used by Home Accounting.

Reconcile Data Bases:

This function has not been implimented yet.

Edit menu:

The Undo Manager although present is not active yet.

There is no condition in Home Accounting at present that makes use of the Duplicate selection.

DB Chart Data window:

This feature has not been implimented yet. But does show some of the possible future chart types under consideration.

Debug menu:

If you see this menu:

You are running the source code which is ok.

or

You are a user who has received an unspported copy of modified source code with this feature enabled (somebody has violated their source code use agreement).

The debug menu is used by my testers to do various things to stress the application (it also makes testing faster than through normal use).
