DOCUMENTATION ON BUDGET1
BUDGET1 is a source program in CBASIC (version 2) written by Patrick Cunning-
ham of San Antonio, TX [235 Sharon Drive, San Antonio 78216]. Suggestions on
improvements are solicited. I wrote it for a 48K ALTOS ACS8000 computer with
dual floppy (8" or 20 cm) drives. It probably will work with less memory.
To operate, compile the BUDGET1.BAS file using the CBASIC2 compiler. Some
editing may be necessary to make this file compatible with other compilers.
Prompts will be displayed whenever necessary. Run when INT file is created.
BUDGET1 operates on 1-20 expense records, which are input by the operator.
Each of these records may be subdivided into several (max of 4) categories.
The program checks the addition used in allocating these categories.
These are then output onto CP/M based disc files in records that contain
the day of the transaction, payee, and category/amount for 1-4 categories.
The record length is 64 characters, so that random access to the files is
possible. The program will add new expenses to the disc immediately after
any currrent expenses already logged. The file created should have the
name EXPENSnn.XXX, where nn is the last two digits of the A.D. year and
XXX is the month code, such as JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, etc.
BUDGET1 has a built-in iteration prompt that allows the user to process
more than one month's expenses at the same time. Category codes for each
of the nineteen categories (charity, food, mortgage, phone, etc.) are dis-
played in a menu upon user's request.
BUDGET1 may be freely copied for non-commercial distribution. Under no
circumstances may it be sold for profit. (C) copyright 1980 by Patrick
Cunningham.
BUDGET1 is accessed and totaled by the program LEDGER1.
