- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- 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.
