APPENDIX B
USING CPA-LEDGER WITH FIXED DISK
You may use CPA-LEDGER with fixed disk. (Fixed disk is also referred
to as "hard disk".) Changes to CPA-LEDGER's computer programs are
similar to the changes as described for micros with two diskette
drives - see Appendix A.
The only difference is that you modify the RUN commands to refer to
the fixed disk rather than to the second diskette drive. Do that by
substituting "C" for "A" in the RUN commands. For example, assume
that one of the computer programs contains this command:
. RUN "A:DAILY.BAS".
Change the command to:
. RUN "C:DAILY.BAS".
Of course, both CPA-LEDGER and PC-DOS should be on fixed disk. Also,
you might want to establish a separate subdirectory for CPA-LEDGER.
Refer to your IBM Disk Operating System reference manual for details.
The same reference manual covers other considerations that are beyond
the scope of this appendix, such as:
. Fixed disk drive letters, and
. How to prepare your fixed disk.
A major advantage of fixed disk is the additional space for recording
your transactions. As discussed in Appendix C, one floppy diskette
might not have enough room to accommodate your needs. In that event,
fixed disk is an alternative.
