---------------------PENNYWISE CASH BOOK ---------------------------
PENNYWISE (PW) is intended as a flexible cashbook type program for the AMIGA.
The interface is intuitive, making good use of the AMIGA's features. The
program has been designed to keep key-board input to a minimum.
Click 'VERSION' to see which version of PW you are using.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONCEPTS:
A PENNYWISE FILE IS BASED ON A FISCAL PERIOD THAT
YOU DEFINE IN THE 'ACCOUNTS' WINDOW. THE USER
DETERMINES THE PERIOD.
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, DATA ENTRY IS KEPT TO A MINIMUM.
PAYEES/ PAYERS, COST CENTERS, TRANSACTION TYPES & TRANSACTIONS
(* SEE OTHER HELP FILES ABOUT THESE *)
ARE ONLY ENTERED ONCE AND THEREAFTER CAN BE SELECTED FROM
A SCAN LIST!
Some screens have gadgets at the bottom. They are
O.K = Back To Account Description Window | SAVE = Save record now!
<< Goto the first record | < goto to previous record
> Goto the next record | >> Goto The Last Record
? Bring Up the SCANLIST to find an item, [QUIT] = QUIT!
(* Select [About The Gadgets] from the HELP Requester to learn about
gadgets *)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Menus' for making further selections are found in the normal AMIGA
manner. Select [About Menus] from the HELP Requester to learn about
using menus.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
PW is programmed in Benchmark MODULA-2. It was also an exercise in
dynamic memory allocation. This way no limits, other than those created
by the hardware, are placed on the transaction numbers.
NOTE: A trait of BENCHMARK'S COMPILER is that the compiled program's size
is usually much larger than the amount of memory that program will require.
