After receiving a mail ad from a credit card company, I decided to write this program. The ad advised me, that for $15.00 per year, the card company would keep a record of my credit cards and notify the proper companies if they were lost or stolen. Sounded like a great idea....But 15 bucks a year? Sounds more like a job for my mighty Amiga!
The program is designed to record pertinent data concerning a maximum of thirty credit cards. Once you have entered records, you can change, display, sort and examine your accounts. You also have the option of using the program to notify your credit card companies if your card is lost or stolen. Should you ever need to notify a company or all your credit card companies, just enter your name and address and the program will print out a letter for your signature.
Set-Up
Rename crbk.info to CreditBook.info. An icon is included for running from workbench. Just click on icon and it should run. To run from cli, set the stack to 5000 and enter "CreditBook".

Program Notes
This program was written in AmigaBasic and compiled with the Absoft Compiler. Many thanks to Absoft from we Basic programmers whom still think "C" stands for confusion. The records are kept in the random file "cards". A record pointer is kept in the file "stuff". The operation is mainly mouse driven for ease of use.
