DAUtils is a DOS utility application for Citibank Direct Access users.  It
will import (read) the ASCII delimited files (using Direct Access's CSV
format) downloaded by Citibank's Direct Access software, and convert the files
into a format that is easy to read and understand.  Further, it will allow you
to search for specific transactions, sort transactions so all similar
activities are grouped together for easy comparison, and to print out
activities and balances so you can have a hardcopy for your records.

What DAUtils is not:
DAUtils is not an accounting program: it will not balance your checkbook or
bank statement, it will not show totals, sums, averages, etc., it will not do
any calculations.

I wrote DAUtils out of frustration.  Like many people who use Citibank's
Direct Access, I found it difficult to read activities and balances that I
downloaded.  Even for people who are familiar with computers, and ASCII
delimited notation, these files are not easy to read or find meaningful
information; especially when you are in a hurry.  DAUtils has changed all
that; I now reap the rewards of my labor.  I can see, and print my balances
as soon as I download them.  I can scroll through, search for, and print
my cleared transactions.

                      DISCLAIMER AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

Please read the file "LICENSE.TXT".

                                LIST OF FILES

Read the file "LIST.TXT" for the list of files included.

                                REQUIREMENTS

DAUtils is a DOS program (it will also run under Windows), and therefore, does
not have very stringent requirements.  It will run on any 80386 CPU or higher
computer and requires approximately two and one-half Megabytes of hard disk
space. (The hard disk space will increase if you save activities over a long
period of time.)

DAUtils will run using DOS 6.0 or greater.  It has not been tested on early
versions of DOS, but will probably run on version 3.3 and up.

                                INSTALLATION

Copy all the files, unzipped from DAUTILS.ZIP, into a sub-directory such as:
C:\DAUTILS\.

                             RUNNING THE PROGRAM

In DOS, run (execute) the file "DAUTILS.EXE" from within its sub-directory.

DAUtils can be run from Windows by:

Using the File Manager: select DAUtils.EXE and press the Enter key or double
click the left mouse button.

OR:
From the Program Manager: select "File", then "Run".  Type in:
C:\DAUTILS\DAUTILS, then press the Enter key. (Or substitute the correct
sub-directory for "C:\DAUTILS\" if different.)

OR:
You can make a PIF to run DAUtils in Windows.

                              OPERATING MANUAL

Read the file "MANUAL.TXT" for operating instructions.  Following is a brief
description.

The program is completely menu driven and very easy to use.  You can use a
mouse and/or keyboard to make all selections.

When using a mouse, just click the left button on your menu choice.

When using the keyboard, use the arrow keys to make your menu choice (the
selected menu will be high-lighted), then press the Enter key.  If no menu is
high-lighted, press the F10 key.
A status line at the bottom left of the screen will give a brief description
of the high-lighted menu. {Once you have imported data, and are viewing
activities, there is a help selection on the menu.  It gives full help on how
to use the keyboard, the mouse, how to search, how to reorder (sort columns),
etc.}

When in a pop-up dialogbox, use the Tab, Shift+Tab keys to navigate (move the
cursor from element to element).  Press the Enter key to make your selection.
If a selection name starts with a high-lighted letter (yellow letter), such as
the "O" in Ok on a button, press Alt+(the high lighted letter) to select it.
