Thanks very much for trying my Business Accounting System software.
Included in your distribution set should be the following files:
README.DOC - this file
BA.DOC - System Documentation file. It's approximately 100 typed pages
and has page breaks already inserted, so don't try printing it with any
utility that inserts its own page breaks. Other than the kind just
mentioned, use your favorite utility to print the file, or to print the
file with a DOS command, enter the following from the DOS prompt:
COPY BA.DOC PRN or TYPE BA.DOC > PRN
STARTUP.DOC - Handy tips for when you wish to go "live" with this
software.
ORDER.DOC - An Order Form for registering the Business Accounting
System. The order form can also be found at the end of the documentation
file. Please register this software if you wish to utilize it for your
own business needs. See the licensing section in the documentation file
for additional information on this.
BA.EXE and BA.OVL - These are the executable program files. Needless
to say, you can't run the software without these.
Assorted Data files:
BASYSMST.DBF - System Master file
BACLIENT.DBF - Client file
BAITEM.DBF - Item file
BAEXPCAT.DBF - Expense Category data file
BAEXPDET.DBF - Expense Distribution detail file
BAEXPHDR.DBF - Expense Distribution header file
BAINVHDR.DBF - Invoice header file
BAINVDET.DBF - Invoice line item detail file
BAARPAY.DBF - Accounts Receivable Payments file
BAHARPAY.DBF - Historical AR Payments file
BAHEXPDE.DBF - Historical Expense Distribution detail file
BAHEXPHD.DBF - Historical Expense Distribution header file
BAHINVHD.DBF - Historical Invoice header file
BAHINVDE.DBF - Historical Invoice line item detail file
Assorted Database Text files:
BACLIENT.DBT - Client Notepad database text file
BAINVDET.DBT - Supplemental descriptions for invoice line item detail
If any of the above files are not present when you start the BA system,
you'll receive a system warning error message informing you of this so
your can rectify this problem.
Index Files - These have the extensions NTX. They may or may not be
present within the Distribution set. If not present, they will
automatically be recreated when you start the system.
A Special Note:
As you utilize this software, you'll probably notice the box explosions
which occur throughout the software. These explosions are probably fast
enough for most all 286 and 386 machines, however, this may not be
tolerable for slower 8088 and 8086 machines. If you wish to speed up the
explosions for use on your machine, set the following DOS environmental
varible in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or another start-up batch file:
SET BADELAY=OFF
Be sure NOT to place any spaces on either side of the "=" sign,
otherwise this will not work.
If while attempting to set this varible, you receive a DOS error
message, "Out of Environment Space", modify your CONFIG.SYS file to add
or revise the following line:
SHELL=<drive/path> <command interpreter filename> /P /E:n
The "n" in the "/E:' parameter designates the number of bytes available
for environment varibles, such as 128, 256, 384, 512, etc.. Below is an
example of this statement:
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:512
Once you have modified your CONFIG.SYS file, reboot your computer and
try the "SET BADELAY=OFF" statement again.
