   If you're like many people, you have trouble keeping track of where your 
money goes.  You may have ideas of keeping a household budget, but have 
trouble keeping track of all expenses.  And balancing the checkbook is a major 
monthly chore.  If so, then this program is for you.  But even if you've been 
keeping to an orderly budget, this program may help you implement it more 
easily and efficiently.  You just tell it where the money is coming and going 
as it happens, and your PC takes care of the mathematics and data sorting.

   Check King is a powerful program that keeps track of your finances by 
tracking money entering or leaving your checking account.  This lets you keep 
your checkbook balanced, and helps you stick to budgets by keeping track of 
expenses by category.  It operates using a friendly series of menus, so it 
shouldn't be hard for you to figure out how to navigate through the program.  
However, a full manual, explaining all the features of Check King, is on this 
disk.  The manual may be printed out by typing ^1PRINTMAN^0 with disk 2 of 
this issue in your current default drive.  If you have an Epson compatible 
printer, you will get the manual printed out in elite font by entering 
^1PRINTMAN E^0.  If you do not have an Epson compatible, I recommend that you 
initialize your printer to Elite font from BASIC or some utility which you may 
own.  Then, enter, ^1PRINTMAN N^0. 

   When you start up Check King, it will ask for a drive letter.  Type the 
letter of the drive on which you wish to create your data files.  It is 
recommended that you use a disk other than BIG BLUE DISK, since there isn't much 
free space on the issue.  Then, the first time you run it, you will be prompted 
for information needed to create a new data file.  Answer questions 
appropriately; this brings you to the main menu, from which you can invoke any 
of the commands.  See the manual for more details. 

   Check King is normally considered a "shareware" program.  This means that 
the author expects satisfied users to reward him with registration payments.  
However, we at BIG BLUE DISK have made special arrangements for the shareware 
fees to be waived in the case of purchasers of BIG BLUE DISK.  If you obtained 
the program through a subscription or retail purchase of BIG BLUE DISK, you 
are not under any legal or moral obligation to send any money to the author; 
enjoy the program on us with a clear conscience.  If you copied it from a 
friend, however, you are requested to register your copy.  See the READ_ME 
file for more details.
 
   To run this program outside BIG BLUE DISK, type: ^1CK^0.

DISK FILES THIS PROGRAM USES:
   Just about everything on disk 2; all files below CHEKKING.TXT in the 
directory listing, except for the zero-length delimiter files.
