MoneyTracker Documents
MoneyTracker was written by Samuel Bowers. The program is copyright
© Samsof Software 1996.
****** About the Program ******
If you have not registered MoneyTracker yet, then the first thing you will
see on loading the program is the registration reminder. After reading the
information that it contains, click on the `I promise to register' gadget.
Don't forget to keep your promise! When you have clicked on this, a short
delay of about ten seconds will take place and then you are in the program
proper. The registration reminder, followed by the delay will appear every so
often during your use of the program until you register. On registering you
will find that both the registration reminder and the delay will disappear
forever.
The main window of the program is the Index window. Here you are presented
with several options. They are all explained in detail below. The first thing
to do is either set an account up, or load one in. Nothing else (apart from
the Quit option) will work until that is done.
Here is a complete list of all the options:
Set up a New Account: This does just what it says. It sets up a new
account (surprise surprise). On selecting this
option, you can input the date, Account name,
Account number and Opening Balance. If you
change your mind at any time just press the
`Forget It' gadget and no changes will be made,
otherwise, when all the info has been typed in,
press the `All Done' gadget and your new account
will be ready for use.
Make a Deposit: Again, this does exactly what it claims to do. Put
money into your account by pressing this gadget.
Make a Withdrawal: Well, guess what. Would you believe that this
option allows you to debit money from the account?
Delete an Item: If you have made a mistake, you can rectify it
by using this option.
Load Account: This option can only be used if you have
previously saved an account, otherwise, just
exactly what do you propose to load in?
Save Account: Once an account has been opened you can save it so
that you don't lose it when you turn your computer
off.
View Account: Well, I just had to include this option. What
would be the use of a finances program if you
couldn't see what you'd done?
Quit Program: I know that this a superb program and you will
probably find it difficult to tear yourself away
from it, but eventually you will get too tired or
hungry and need to end it all (the program that
is), so I included this option, so that you don't
end up putting your fist through your lovely
computer, trying to get out of the program.
That's it really. It's a small program, but useful (I hope). The program is
not finished yet. I will do updates sometime, but only if I get enough
registrations. As soon as the tenth person has registered this program I will
do an update and include exciting new features. So, in short, less than ten
registrations, no update. If I do an update, then all registered users will
receive the update free of charge.
If you like this program, then please register it, if not, then please let me
know.
****** Contacting Samsof ******
Samsof is the name under which I write computer programs. I can be contacted
by either Snail-Mail or E-Mail. My Snail-Mail address is:
Samsof Software
PO Box 11
Beccles
Suffolk
NR34 9JS
England
My E-Mail address is: sambowers@thenet.co.uk
To register this program, just send me an E-Mail to tell me that you intend
to register, then send £5.00 or $12 or DM 15,- to the above snail-mail
address. I would prefer it if you sent cash, but please bear in mind that
should it get `lost in the post' I cannot be held responsible. To safeguard
against this you could send your registration by registered post, but this
will likely cost more. You decide if you think it's worth it.
Don't forget to check out the Samsof World Wide Web page on the internet.

****** Some Notes ******
Don't use this program if your balance is likely to exceed 32747 because for
some reason the program goes wrong above this limit. I tried and tried and
tried and then tried some more to fix this, but I just can't seem to fathom
it. I know it MUST be possible, but how? It's got me stumped. If there are
any programmers (particularly Blitz Basic2 programmers) out there who have
the solution, then I would be VERY grateful if you would let me know.
When wanting to go to the next gadget for typing things in (in the Setup,
Deposit and Withdrawal options) DO NOT click the mouse in the gadget
unless you want to clear the existsing information in that gadget. Go to it
by pressing the return key until the cursor is in the correct gaget.
In the Delete option, pressing the RETURN key will cause the currently
displayed entry to be deleted whereas pressing the ENTER key will cause the
currently displayed entry to be cleared, but not deleted. This can also be
achieved by pressing either mouse button when the pointer is NOT in the
selection gadget.
****** Disclaimer ******
Unfortunately, I MUST include this part. All users use this program at their
own risk. In the highly unlikely event that the use of this program causes
damage to the users equipment or files, Samsof cannot be held responsible,
even if said damage was caused by a programming error (bug). You do however
have my cast iron guarantee that I do my utmost best to ensure that such
nasty bugs do not exist and that viruses are not present before releasing the
software that I write, so this situation should NEVER happen. If it does,
please let me know immediately, so I can warn other users.
****** Copyright ******
This, and all other programs that I write, are copyright to Samsof Software.
The programs may be freely distributed by any means you like, provided that
all files they were released with remain with them. You may not however,
distribute parts of programs, nor may you alter a program or it's
documentation or files in any way. If you have registered, you also may not
distribute the keyfile to anyone with my written permission.
****** Magazine Coverdisks ******
Magazines may include unregistered versions of any Samsof program on
coverdisks. All I ask is that you let me know by E-Mail well in advance of
publication. Should a magazine publisher wish to include a full version (ie.
with keyfile to unlock all the programs potential) then please contact me to
find out about this.
