ECHO .
ECHO . The Home Budget Management System is a program designed to aid
ECHO . in financial record keeping. The HBMS package comes complete with
ECHO . full documentation, sample data files, and a unique "Test Drive".
ECHO . Print out the file TESTDRIV.DOC. Use it with the sample data, and
ECHO . you will be able to see the very extensive reporting capabilities
ECHO . of HBMS without having to accumulate your own data.
ECHO .
ECHO .
ECHO . Previous users of HBMS should check the WHATSNEW.DOC file for changes.
ECHO .
ECHO .
ECHO . HBMS contains many useful features, but some of them are not
ECHO . intuitive. In order to use the program successfully, the
ECHO . documentation is a MUST READ affair! After taking the "test drive",
ECHO . I strongly recommend that you read the documentation (at least up
ECHO . through the section on CONVENTIONS) and further experiment with the
ECHO . sample data files.

ECHO . If you are new to computing, the following notes may be helpful:
ECHO . ---------------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO .
ECHO . * Please make a backup copy of your HBMS disk, and always keep backups
ECHO . of the data files produced by HBMS.
ECHO .
ECHO .
ECHO . * To print the documentation, make sure your printer is ready and has
ECHO . about 30 sheets of paper. At the DOS prompt, type:
ECHO .
ECHO . "COPY HBMS.DOC PRN" and strike the ENTER key. (leave off the quotes)
ECHO .
ECHO . The other documentation files can be printed in a similar manner.
ECHO .
ECHO .
ECHO . * If you want to make a "work disk", the only needed files are
ECHO . HBMS.EXE and HBMS.OVR. If you want the sample data files, copy
ECHO . ACCOUNTS.84, CATS.84, and LEDGR-4.84 files to your work disk also.
ECHO . They can be deleted later.

ECHO . HBMS is being distributed as a ShareWare product. That means
ECHO . you can "try before you buy". It is a fully functional program,
ECHO . NOT a limited demo. If you like HBMS and continue to use it, you
ECHO . must register your copy. Complete details are available in the
ECHO . HBMS.DOC file. There is also a convenient order form for
ECHO . registration. Just copy the file ORDER.FRM to your printer. You
ECHO . are encouraged to share this program with others, such as uploading
ECHO . it to your local BBS. However, make sure that all the files listed
ECHO . above are included in the package. Feel free to call and check on
ECHO . the latest updates, or ask any questions.
ECHO .
ECHO . Thanks and enjoy HBMS!
