1.0 INTRODUCTION:
CheckBook is an easy to use, yet powerful tool for keeping track
of where your money goes. Every effort was made to make the
program operate just like your manual checkbook, while giving you
the ability to quickly see summaries of your income and expenses.
The forms you use to enter information to CheckBook look like the
manual forms that you are familiar with. The information is
displayed or printed in a format that is the same as, or very
similar to, your manual check register. CheckBook will even
print your checks for you.
CheckBook gives you visibility into your income and expenses that
would require hours of work to calculate manually. With just a
couple of key strokes, you can find out how much you have spent
for medical bills or how much that old car is costing you to
maintain. The time, you save at year end getting the information
together for your tax return, should pay for the software many
times over.
The bank reconciliation feature in CheckBook is so straight
forward and easy to use, you'll wonder how you ever got along
without it. Enter the balance from your bank statement and mark
the transactions that have cleared the bank while CheckBook is
continuously showing you any unreconciled difference. If you
have trouble reconciling, press the Help key and CheckBook will
show you a list of actions to take to help you find the
difference.
You can use CheckBook for your checking accounts, charge cards,
cash expenditures, company expense accounts, and any other
debit/credit type accounts. The first step in wealth building is
knowing where your money goes, and Checkbook will quickly and
accurately provide you with that knowledge.
Checkbook is distributed under the user supported concept. This
means you are provided a complete, working copy of the software.
Try the software for a period of up to 90 days to see if it is
useful to you and meets you needs. If you use the software after
the 90 day trial period, please become a registered user. The
registration cost is $29.95 which includes shipping and handling
charges.
When you purchase a registered copy, you will receive the latest
version of Checkbook, free support, and free updates for a period
of one year. You may print the registration form from the
introductory screen menu.

2.0 SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS:
The CheckBook software will run on any IBM-compatible personal
computer with a color monitor. You should have at least 384K of
RAM memory and DOS 2.0 or a later version. The program will
operate with one (1) floppy disk, but it will run much faster if
you have a hard (fixed) disk. To print reports, a standard
eighty (80) column printer is required.
