- ****** 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.

- ****** 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.
