ECHO . H. B. M. S. (version 4.3)
ECHO .
ECHO . Welcome to The Home Budget Management System... a financial record
ECHO . keeping and reporting program. The HBMS package contains an install
ECHO . program, a setup program, and full documentation (on disk). Also
ECHO . included are sample data files, and a unique "Test Drive" document which
ECHO . can help introduce you to HBMS and what it has to offer. With the Test
ECHO . Drive text and the sample data, you will be able to see the very
ECHO . extensive reporting capabilities of HBMS without having to accumulate
ECHO . your own data.
ECHO .
ECHO . The following files make up the HBMS package:
ECHO . ----------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO . README.BAT......this file
ECHO . ORDERFRM.DOC....order form for registration and latest version
ECHO . VENDOR.DOC......information for Shareware distributors
ECHO . INSTALL.EXE.....installs HBMS and optionally prints the documentation
ECHO . HBMSPROG.EXE....compressed program files
ECHO . SAMPDATA.EXE....compressed sample data files
ECHO . HBMSDOCS.EXE....compressed documentation files
ECHO . -----------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO . If any of these files are missing, please contact the author.

ECHO . IMPORTANT: HBMS is being distributed with some of its files contained in
ECHO . a compressed format. DO NOT try to run HBMS from the distribution disk.
ECHO .
ECHO . For your convenience there is an INSTALL program which will install all
ECHO . the needed files to your disk and optionally print the documentation.
ECHO . Take the original distribution disk and place it in your floppy drive.
ECHO . Type "INSTALL" and hit the ENTER key. If you are not installing to a
ECHO . hard drive, have a blank formatted floppy ready. If you are using 360k
ECHO . floppy disks, you will need an extra one for the documentation files.
ECHO .
ECHO . The INSTALL program will optionally create a subdirectory on your hard
ECHO . drive for you. If you have been using an earlier version of HBMS,
ECHO . specify the subdirectory which contains those files. The new program
ECHO . files will replace the old ones. YOUR DATA FILES WILL NOT BE HARMED AND
ECHO . ARE STILL COMPATIBLE.
ECHO .
ECHO . After INSTALL, be sure to store the distribution disk in a safe place.

ECHO . HBMS contains many useful features, and can do an excellent job of
ECHO . recording and reporting your financial transactions. However in order
ECHO . to use the program successfully, the documentation is a MUST READ affair!
ECHO .
ECHO . If you are new to HBMS, I strongly recommend that you take the "Test
ECHO . Drive". Print the TESTDRIV.DOC as a minimum. (The INSTALL program can
ECHO . print this document for you.) It will give you a feel for how easy it
ECHO . is to enter data into the system, but remember that the Test Drive is not
ECHO . a complete tutorial on HBMS.
ECHO .
ECHO . The sample data provides many examples, and can be a valuable aid when
ECHO . you are not quite sure how to handle something. It also serves as a
ECHO . ready made practice budget system. Experiment with it while reading the
ECHO . documentation. When you run HBMS, specify "84" as the "Year of ACCOUNT
ECHO . DATA:". The first dozen or so transactions provide examples of most of
ECHO . the entries you are likely to need.
ECHO .
ECHO . NOTE! Previous users of HBMS should check the WHATSNEW.DOC file for some
ECHO . important changes in version 4.3.

ECHO . HBMS is being distributed as a ShareWare product. That means you
ECHO . can "try before you buy". It is a fully functional program, NOT a
ECHO . limited demo. If you like HBMS and continue to use it, you must
ECHO . register. Complete details are available in the HBMS.DOC file. There is
ECHO . a convenient order form provided for registration. Just copy the file
ECHO . ORDERFRM.DOC to your printer, or let the INSTALL program print it for
ECHO . you. I encourage you to share copies of this program with others. If
ECHO . you have experience with bulletin boards, you can also upload it to your
ECHO . local BBS (name it HBMS43.ZIP). However, make sure all the files listed
ECHO . above are included in the package. Feel free to call and check on the
ECHO . latest updates, or ask any questions. Thanks and enjoy HBMS!
