*** JUST WHAT IS WINCHECK ***
WinCheck is designed to manage any number of checking, savings, and credit
card accounts. Since WinCheck's initial release last year, it has
developed into a top-notch financial manager. There is the Check Form
Designer, to build check templates for printing on virtually any pre-printed
check form (dot matrix and laser checks are both supported).
The Custom Report Maker allows you to view and print a variety of supplied
reports, such as cash flow reports, or create custom reports tailored to your
own needs. With the Custom Report Maker, you can print an entertainment
expense report, a credit/deposit history, or all tax deductible transactions
for the year to date.
WinCheck's transaction classifications, or "categories," allow you to keep
track of the money earned and spent on categories such as Business and
Entertainment. WinCheck's budgeting facilities can be used in combination
with these categories to plan a monthly budget. Add reoccurring transactions
to a menu or have WinCheck remind you to make transactions such as mortgage
payments and paycheck deposits. WinCheck also supports Windows Dynamic Data
Exchange (DDE) and sports an internal batch language.
WinCheck offers an exceptionally attractive and intuitive user interface
featuring a Control Bar, Status Bar, iconic "Toolbox," and check registers
with adjustable column widths. Checks and other transactions appear as 3-D
dialog boxes with bitmapped backgrounds. Screen colors and fonts are fully
customizable. Standard operations, such as writing checks and making
deposits, may be performed by clicking on icons from the Control Bar.
The online help facility and intuitive user interface pretty much precludes
the need for a manual, although the 200 page, heavily illustrated manual
does further detail many of WinCheck's features with various examples.
To order computer checks call "Financial Registers" at the number below and
they will assist you. (There are sample checks and other forms in the
WinCheck box as well).

*** LATE-BREAKING NEWS ***
There are a number of TXT files containing bits and pieces of

*** LEGAL MATTERS ***
Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not
responsible for anything at all. Nothing. Even if we are
held responsible, the limit of our liability is the
licensing fees you paid. The full text of our license
agreement is found near the bottom of this file.
*** HOW TO INSTALL WINCHECK ***
Use our SETUP.EXE program, which will copy the files for you and install
a WINCHECK group in the program manager with a TUT (Tutorial) account.
To use our SETUP.EXE program...
1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.
2) Then do ONE of the following:
A) From File Manager, locate then double click the SETUP.EXE
file in the directory you copies the files to:
OR
B) From Program Manager, pull down the FILE menu, and select the
RUN option. Enter the full path to the SETUP.EXE file, as in
"C:\XXX\SETUP.EXE"
and hit ENTER.
3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify initial directory,
or accept the given default (C:\WINCHECK).
4) When the next dialog box shows up, you can select what you want to
install. If there is any doubt, select everything by hitting the
"Add All" button.
5) Then push the INSTALL button to install WinCheck.
6) When the setup process is complete, you may delete the temporary
directory you created in the first step.
*** PRINTING PROBLEMS? ***
Refer to the On-Line Help topic "Printing Checks" for help with
printing checks to a Dot Matrix Printer.
Most printer drivers have special features that take added
advantage of the Windows 3.0 environment. WinCheck assumes
that you have one of these drivers installed. Some older
printer drivers, and current versions of some font packages
(Bitstream Facelift) do not support these features.
If WinCheck does not print properly on your system, add the
following line to the [WiChk14a] section of your WIN.INI file:
NODEVMODE=1
This line will cause WinCheck to bypass the special printer
driver features that cause the problems. Note: You will not
be able to print landscape checks if you use the NODEVMODE=1
option.
