$ Welcome to the exciting financial world of CHEX-MASTER !!! $
$ Here, *** YOU *** are in complete control. $

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
CHEX-MASTER is a derivative of DBASE III, compiled with CLIPPER. As such,
though it is a *STAND-ALONE* package, all data files can be manipulated
with DBASE III. It will run on any 100% compatible IBM XT/AT/386/486 class
computer, and runs under PC/MS-DOS Versions 3.0 to 6.0. 640 K of memory
(RAM) is required. Before running CHEX-MASTER, it is STRONGLY suggested
that all TSR's (if installed) be removed, as CHEX-MASTER needs the recom-
mended amount of memory FOR ITSELF in order to run properly ! A hard disk
is required. A DISK-CACHING program is *HIGHLY* recommended ! A color
monitor (CGA, EGA, preferably VGA) greatly improves the user interface,
though a HERCULES GRAPHICS monochrome is quite usable.

CHEX - MASTER is a Check-book/Budget Management System with an OPTIONAL
Small Business single entry Accounting/Bookkeeping module. It was designed
to give the NOVICE computer user a simple, yet powerful way to manage
their household Financial/Checking/Budget needs by simply entering check
and deposit information into the computer. By the way, you computer
EXPERTS can use it also !!! CHEX - MASTER was designed with many CUSTOM
FEATURES, allowing it to be tailored (via the SETUP screen) to operate
according to the CUSTOMERS desires !!!
It is also excellent for the person desiring a VERY simple-to-use book-
keeping system for a small HOME business. This system will allow them to
manage their business books simply through the entering of normal check
and deposit information.
############################################################################
Installation of this program is VERY simple. When you are finished
reading this introduction, you will be presented with the option to
begin the automatic installation. If you reply "YES", a sub-directory
\CHEXMSTR will be created on your hard disk, and the compressed .ZIP
files will be expanded into it. You will then start the CHEX-MASTER
program. If CHEX-MASTER was previously installed, you will be given
the option to save your DATA files ! When you are ready, just sit back
and get ready to TAKE FINANCIAL CONTROL !!
When the Configuration and Installation phase is over, you will be in
MENU 2. At this point, it would be a VERY GOOD idea to either print out
the USER's MANUAL or read it ON-SCREEN. If you opt to PRINT, there will
be [ 15 ] PAGES of output. You will also note that the "SETUP" option
is highlighted. After reading the USER's MANUAL, you will no doubt want
to select this option to set up your system. **** NOTE **** If an
ACCOUNT NUMBER is assigned, the system opens with a screen requesting
it's entry. Otherwise, the system starts at the MAIN MENU (Menu #1).
@@@@@@ PLEASE NOTE @@@@@@ : There are two GRAPHICS screens when CHEX-
MASTER is first starting up, and one when it is ending. If your mono-
chrome monitor WILL NOT display these, there is an option on the MENU 1
screen to DISABLE graphics. This screen also allows you the option of
TURNING OFF the SOUND.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A **VERY** important step that you should do right now before you go
any further is to make BACKUP COPIES of the original disk(s) using
the DOS Copy or Xcopy command. Then, put the originals in a SAFE
place, and continue with the backups.
