- Expense Log Version 3.0 -- README
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- THANK YOU for purchasing Expense Log 3.0!
-
- HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPENSE LOG 3.0:
- -----------------------------------------
- o 2MB or more RAM
- o 80386SX or higher processor
- o 624K hard disk space for software
- o Mouse driver installed
- o VGA color graphics card/monitor or better
-
- TO INSTALL EXPENSE LOG:
- ----------------------
- Run INSTALL.EXE from either a floppy diskette or your hard disk
-
- TO RUN EXPENSE LOG:
- ------------------
- The first time you run EL30.EXE, the program will create three files to
- hold your expense information in. They are:
-
- EXPLOG.DAT EXPLOG.K01 EXPLOG.K02
-
- EXPLOG.DAT is the data file which holds your expense records in the order
- which they are entered (sequential).
-
- EXPLOG.K01 is a "key" file which sorts EXPLOG.DAT's records in the
- following order:
-
- Date, Time, Category, Description
-
- EXPLOG.K02 is another "key" file which sorts EXPLOG.DAT's records in the
- following order:
-
- Category, Description, Date, Time
-
- IMPORTANT:
- ---------
- MAKE SURE YOU OBSERVE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:
- 1. EXPLOG.DAT, EXPLOG.K01, AND EXPLOG.K02 MUST RESIDE IN THE SAME
- DIRECTORY AS EL30.EXE IN ORDER TO BE ACCESSIBLE. DO NOT PUT THE
- DATA FILES IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTORY OR SUBDIRECTORY OR THE
- PROGRAM WILL GENERATE THREE NEW EMPTY FILES.
-
- 2. DO NOT DELETE EITHER EXPLOG.K01 OR EXPLOG.K02. BOTH FILES ARE
- NECESSARY FOR THE REPORTING OPTIONS BUILT INTO EXPENSE LOG.
-
- 3. DO NOT RENAME EXPLOG.DAT, EXPLOG.K01, OR EXPLOG.K02. IF THEY ARE
- RENAMED, THE PROGRAM WILL GENERATE THREE NEW EMPTY FILES.
-
- 4. MAKE PERIODIC BACKUPS OF YOUR INFORMATION. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTORE
- INFORMATION IS FROM A BACKUP COPY.
-
- 5. USE CAUTION when restoring an "old" set of EXPLOG files for referencing
- records from a different file set. A suggested procedure for doing so
- is this:
-
- a. Make a backup of your CURRENT EXPLOG files (all 3 of them).
- b. Restore (or copy) the "old" EXPLOG files to the directory where
- the Expense Log program file (EL30.EXE) is.
- c. Run Expense Log as normal.
- d. When you are ready to return to your "current" records, restore
- (or copy) the files from step 1 to the directory where the Expense
- Log program file (EL30.EXE) is.
- e. Run Expense Log as normal.
