PROGRAMS: BUDGET1 --ENTERS BUDGET INFO TO FILE
LEDGER1 --TOTALS MONTH FILE AND REPORTS
ANNTOT1 --REPORTS THE YEAR TO DATE
BUDGETCH --CHANGE FILE INFORMATION (ERRORS)
AUTHOR: PAT CUNNINGHAM, SAN ANTONIO, TX
SOFTWARE: CBASIC
HARDWARE: 96 COL. OR GREATER PRINTER IF YOU WISH HARDCOPY
DOC FILES: LEDGER1.DOC & BUDGET1.DOC
The program is nicely written with good commenting. All of
the programs run and seem to work properly. Error trapping
could be improved. LEDGER1 allows a rerun at the end, but
this bombed for me. The main weakness of the program is the
inadequate user prompts. The BUDGETCH expects the user to
remember the 20 letter that reference the expense catagories.
The catagory discriptions are available as a user call from
the BUDGET1 program. It would be an improvement if the
program provided the information without request in both
BUDGET1 and BUDGETCH. All in all--a usable program to enter
monthly expense forthe home--after you get use to the required
input formats. LEDGER1 sign-off is a reference to a mythical
state--somewhat akin to Camalot combined with Devil's Island.

PROGRAM: ROBO
AUTHOR: PATRICK CUNNINGHAM, SAN ANTONIO, TX
SOFTWARE: CBASIC
HARDWARE: NO SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
DOC FILE: ROBO.DOC
ROBO is a math drill (addition) for preschoolers and first-
graders. It has a line of numbers provided that, I guess, save
on the fingers and toe method I use. This might make some
teachers unhappy. The programs is a nice little helper for
those learning beginning math. Reviewer: Ken Prevo of CACHE

PROGRAMS: GENERAL LEDGER
This is the General Ledger series of programs published by
Osborne/McGraw-Hill. It has received good reviews, it
compiles and runs on a Hazeltine terminal, but will require
modification if you use a different terminal. See G/L.DOC
for further comments. Jim Mills CACHE SIG CP/M
