1.1)				    Set Up


1.1)			   Set Up System Requirements


	Cash Control will run on an PC, XT or AT system. The system
	should have a minimum of 640K of memory. A hard disk is
	recommended although not necessary.  The program will install
	on a floppy disk if the disk has enough storage. A 720k disk
	will hold the program and around 1500 checks. The program will
	not install on a 360k disk.

	The program will run on Monochrome or Color systems. Color systems
	may include CGA, EGA, or VGA resolution.

	Cash Control reads the current date from your computer. If you
	do not have a clock / calendar in your hardware you must set
	the date before you start the program. Enter DATE from DOS and
	supply the correct date in the format specified.

1.2	              Set up the program on your system


	Place the master disk in the appropriate drive A or B. Type
	SETUP from the DOS prompt to start the Setup program.

	Screen One

	A Help Sheet is provided by pressing the F1 key at the first
	screen in the Setup program. The Help Sheet is only six pages long.
	It is a good idea to do the Help Sheet then start the Setup
	program again. The second time you run the Setup press F2 to
	Install the program using the information on the Help Sheet.


	Screen Two

	Select the type of checkbook to setup for, Home or Business.
	Enter the letter (H)ome)  or the letter (B)usiness). Press the
	Enter key to complete the selection. This selection will copy
	a set of expense files for either home or business.

	The source drive and directory are set by the program. 	The letter C 
	is displayed as the usual choice for a hard disk destination. Change 
	the drive or press Enter to accept the drive choice.

	The Destination Directory is set to C:\CASH. Press Enter to
	accept or type in a different name for the directory. The Directory
	should not be a Subdirectory already in use by another program.

	The Setup program will make a new Subdirectory and copy the
	files from the master to the new directory.

	The Setup program exits to the Destination Drive and Directory.
	Type CHECK INSTALL to correct any mistakes made after the Setup
	program is complete.


1.3				Space Limitations

	Please remember that the installed program could grow larger than
	1.2 Meg. if the file CHECK.DAT is larger than the size of your
	largest capacity disk, the file will have to backed up on a Tape
	Backup System.

	Do not try to install the program on a disk smaller than 720k.

	The Setup program installs the program files as each section
	is completed. To correct Installation items type CHECK INSTALL
	from the DOS prompt. While using the Setup program follow the
	instructions for sections 1.4 to 1.11 below.

	When installing the program for the first time, the password
	is set to ( cash ) in lower case letters.

	If the program is reinstalled, a password is required to start
	the Install program.

	The Setup program has a set of default values for each of the
	install sections. By accepting the default values and titles
	the program can be quickly installed. Play with the program
	using sample data until you are comfortable. Setup the program
	again and customize it for your personal data.


1.4		     Setting the data file lengths.

	Setup Program
	=============

	In the Setup program either ( C ) for Custom or ( D ) for default
	are the choices for setting the file sizes. In most situations
	the default will be more than adequate. If you select Custom follow
	the instructions below. Default is the recommended choice.

	Install Program
	===============

	Change the data file lengths ( Y/n )    Y = Yes  n = No

	The first time the program is installed, the maximum lengths
	are established for the data files in the checkbook. The sizes
	are used to establish reasonable bounds for the data. If the
	file is full the program will add more space to the file.

	The first length set is the Main checkbook Register. This file
	will have a record for every check, deposit, credit, or debit
	entered. Make a reasonable estimate of your annual number of
	checks. ( 500 or more in most situations. )
.pa

	The second length is the Deposit and Budget data. Most people
	make just one or two deposits a week. Enter a number like
	two hundred ( 200 ) just to insure adequate room for the deposit
	data and cash transfers made within the program.

	The third length entered is for the accounts payable file.
	This file is for the names, and addresses, of all the places
	checks are written to in a year. Estimate the number of locations
	checks are written to.  Make the file at least fifty larger than
	your estimate.

	An installation for 500 checks, 200 Deposits, and 150 Accounts
	Payables will use around 274k of disk space.

	Please note that using very large numbers such as 1000 checks
	will result in a data file larger than a 360k disk will hold.
	Look at the data file sizes after the install to insure that
	the CHECKBK.DAT file is not larger than your floppy disks.

	Cash Control will not run out of space for check or deposit data.
	If the install values are set to low. The program will add space
	for 100 checks or deposits if the database is full.

1.5     			Initializing files         ( Page 1 )

	Each data file for the checkbook needs to be initialized or
	erased.

	Initialize Checkbook data files  ( Y/n )  Y = Yes  n = No

	This process will prepare the data file for your data entry.
	This will also destroy an old checkbook data file. This
	option is used the first time the program is installed to
	set the database size. It is used to erase the checkbook
	at the end of a year. See Appendix B for further information
	on End of Year processing.

	As each data file is processed a counter will count out the
	number of records the lengths were set for.


1.6		Entering Startup values and information.    ( Page 2 )


	The startup values include the dollar amount of the beginning
	balance and the beginning check number. Any change to the
	beginning balance after the first check is entered will
	change the final checkbook balance. Any change of the beginning
	check number will not affect checks written after the first
	check entry. Check numbers larger than 32767 will create
	an error. If you have an old account with numbers that
	high, use the last four numbers of the check as the starting
	check number. Example ( 32767 as 2767 )

.pa
	General information like the bank name and account number
	are used to identify the account on the computer and the
	printed reports.

	Please notice the description at the top for each line
	entered. Use the UP arrow key to return to the top of
	the page. Press the Enter key to walk through the entry
	lines. Use the Left and Right arrow keys to edit the contents
	of a line.


1.7			Entering Budget Titles               ( Page 3 )


	The Budget Titles are used to identify four accounts used to
	withhold money from each deposit for later bill payment.
	Some examples are...

		Business Budget

		IRS Personal Estimate of Income Tax.
		Business payment to the bank.
		Sales Tax collected and due quarterly.
		Employee Withholding due quarterly.
		Service Charges for Visa / Mastercard.

		Home Budget

		The house payment or rent.
		The car, camper, or boat payment.
		The lake home payment.
		All the insurance premiums.
		The credit card debt.
		A trip in the future.

	The four budget titles must be entered in the install program.
	They are not changed in the main program.

	The budget titles may be changed by reinstalling the program.
	Changing a title line will not do anything to transform the data.
	The dollar amounts in each account will remain the same if the
	name is changed.

	It would be wrong to change a title but OK to reword a title
	after the checkbook is first installed and data entry has begun.

	The program is limited to four Budget Accounts.  If more than
	four budgets are needed try to consolidate them under a single
	heading. In most situations more than four accounts will quickly
	exhaust the cash and leave nothing for general check writing.

	The general idea of the budget is to set aside for larger and
	not so regular expenses.

.pa

	As an example divide your quarterly tax estimate by twelve to get
	the amount of money per week to withhold. Budget the weekly amount
	each week in the deposits made. At the end of the quarter transfer
	the money from the Budget Account to the main Account and write the
	check to pay the estimate.


1.8			Reinstalling the program



	Running the INSTALL program after the checkbook is in use
	will enable the user to erase a portion of the program
	while not erasing all areas.

	Change the data file length if necessary. This process will
	destroy the current data files. Do not make file size changes
	unless a new checkbook is desired.

	Erase the main data file for a new installation or to start a
	new year. Always make a backup before erasing files.
	Appendix B covers end of year processing.



1.9			Default Account Titles


	Three set of Account titles are provided with the program.
	Three separate disk files hold the title information. The
	file CHECK.EXP has Expense Account titles. The file FLAG.EXP
	has a special set of Account Flags. The file DEPOSIT.EXP
	contains the name of Accounts used to enter deposit income to
	the checkbook.

	Pressing F6 where Account numbers are entered in the program will
	display a selection box of the Accounts.

	Any changes to these files should be made before the checkbook
	is used. Please view other portions of the manual for further
	explanation of Expense and Flag Accounts.

	The Account files may be edited in the Setup program or the
	Install program.  Changes should be made before data is entered
	to the accounts. Changing account names will not change data
	already added to the account.

	There is no limit to the number of accounts you may create for
	Expense, Flag, or Deposits. Anything over 100 is probably crazy
	and impossible to manage.

		--------------------------------------


		Press the Up & Down Arrow to select.
		Press Enter to edit line.
		Press the Side Arrows to page.


	As each file is edited press the Escape key to advance to the
	next file.

	Use the Up and Down arrow keys to select a Account Title for
	editing.

	Press the Enter key to Edit the line. Type a new Account Title
	over a title you don't want.

	Press the Enter key again when the line edit is complete.

	Use PgUp or PgDn or the side arrow keys to page forward or
	backward in the Account Titles.

	To add additional titles, move the selection arrow past the
	last title and press the Enter key to enter a new line.


	The Default Account Titles are also edited using an ASCII text
	editor. Use the EDITOR in DOS 5.0 by Microsoft. This Editor
	will do a nice job.

	Wordstar users should select the Non Document File to edit the
	files.

.pa

	Please note that most major word processing programs have
	there own document mode that leaves funny characters in the
	file when viewed later in ASCII. Make sure the editor has an
	ASCII mode.

	   ( General Information on Editing with a text editor. )

	Add or delete lines of the account files until the list
	is complete for your needs.

	Each line should not be longer than 25 characters or the
	tail is cut off when displayed in the program.

	There are no spaces between the lines. Each account
	is numbered by the line it is on. The item on line one
	is account one. And so on...

	The Flag accounts are lettered A to Z. Other single number
	or symbols may be used to expand the Flag list.

	The Deposit and Expense Accounts can have an item added to
	the end of the list. A new item should not be entered between
	other items as the Accounts would shift down one line and number.
	This would create an error in the reporting of account totals.
	Make any late additions to the bottom of the list.



1.11			Password information


	When the program is installed for the first time the password is
	( cash ) in lower case letters.

	The password is scrambled with a random number in the file
	CHECKSP.DAT.

	When the password is not known,	copy the file CHECKSP.DAT
	from the master to the Cash Control directory and open the
	program using ( cash ) password. Put the master disk in a
	safe place to prevent others from using the data file to gain
	entrance.


	Please view Section 7.6 for more information on changing the
	password.

.pa

	The password may also be entered using the command line. This
	option is used to start the program without the password entry
	screen. The password may be entered by typing it after the word
	CHECK to start the program

		( Example )	CHECK cash

		This will enter the password ( cash ) as the program
		loads.

	The batch file may be edited to load any password setting. This
	method allows the program to load without a password entry by the
	user. Edit the file CC.BAT to reflect the password in use for quick
	entry.

	The default batch file CC.BAT is set to load the program using
	( cash ) as the password.

	A password is necessary to install or run the program. When
	using a batch file to load the password, remember that the
	batch file must reflect the current password setting. The
	batch file loading method assumes that password security is
	not wanted.

	Cash Control can support two parallel printer ports. The SETUP
	program installs both checks and reports on LPT1. This means that
	if you have only one printer, both checks and reports will print
	on the same printer. If you have two printers, then you must
	run CHECK INSTALL and select the option to support two printers.

	The reports always go to LPT1 and the checks can go to either
	LPT1 or LPT2 depending on your selection.

	Be sure the printer with your checks is connected to the
	LPT2 parallel port on your computer.

	Consult the manual that came with your computer or call your
	dealer if you are not sure of your hardware hookup.

	I thought every checkbook program that could ever be invented
	had already been around for years and released five different
	versions. The bulletin boards of America are flooded with
	check, budget, and accounting software. Why one more?

	All of the programs I looked at were just that!  Accounting
	Software. You have to be an accountant to understand the
	reports.

	I wanted a program that was easy to enter checks and deposits
	and listed the checks and deposits like a hand written checkbook
	register.

	I needed check printing and split accounts. I wanted enough
	reporting information to Satisfy the end of year obligations
	( IRS ) and no more. I didn't want to navigate through menus
	and sub menus and fifty different reports to find the ones that
	really count. I needed simplicity and accuracy. I was forced to
	create my own software.

	Cash Control is a very compact program using only a few files
	to operate. The program can be configured small enough to handle
	all the files and a year of data on a 720k disk. This makes it
	useful for users with small systems. The program also has context
	selective help by pressing F1 from any field in the program.

	A checkbook register should be simple to maintain and understand.
	If you are organizing your household accounts or a small business
	then the Cash Control is for you.

	If all the necessary information was provided in the Setup, the
	Cash Control is ready to begin writing checks or entering deposits.
	Confirm the Setup Values and the Checkbook Information under the
	Exit menu. Also review your Expense, Flag, and Deposit titles to
	be sure they are complete.

	Some users will want to enter the checks and deposits for the
	year to date in order to have and entire years data on the
	reports. In this situation type in the checkbook balance on the
	first of January before any checks are written. Start entering
	checks and deposits in the order they are found in the hand written
	checkbook register.

	If printed checks are not going to be used, leave the printer
	OFF when entering checks. Cash Control will track spending and
	create reports from the data entered from the hand printed check
	register.

	Cash Control assumes that a check is either printed when entered
	or hand written. Make sure that checks are properly loaded in
	the printer before beginning. When running printed reports be sure
	the paper is in the printer and not the checks. It is a good
	practice to put the printer Off Line after printing checks. This
	will force looking at the printer briefly before other printing is
	ordered.

3.13				Why When Where


	The Debit is used to subtract money from the account without
	using a check. Most checking accounts pay a service charge to
	the bank. The charge is usually subtracted from your monthly
	statement. In order to balance the checkbook it is necessary
	to subtract the money from the computer account to match the
	banks records.

	The debit is also used to adjust the balance for NSF check
	returns. The account is debited when the check returns and credited
	after collection.

3.14				Editing a debit.

	The debit is located by record number. A listing of the
	checkbook by record number is located in the reports menu.
	Find the record number for the debit entry and use the Edit
	Check or Debit option under Checks, to edit the debit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


3.15			    Organize the Statement

	To reconcile the checking account balance with the bank statement,
	it is easier if you arrange the checks in numerical order. The
	Deposits are arranged by date. Any Service Charges is Debited from
	the account. Any Interest paid to the account is added in as a credit
	to the account.

.pa

3.16		          Using the Balance Program.

	Make any debits such as service charge, or credits like interest
	before you enter the balance program.

	Select the Balance the Checkbook under the Checks menu. An option
	box will confirm the selection. Enter the letter ( Y ) = Yes ) to
	continue to the balance program.

	The balance program begins at the first page of the checkbook.

	Use the PgDn key to page forward. Use the PgUp key to page backward.
	View the screens as you page down to your first statement item.
	Any outstanding item found earlier than your fist statement item
	could result in the checkbook not balancing.

	The Up and Down arrow keys move the small arrow on the screen
	next to each check or deposit.

	Press the Enter key to toggle the check status Cleared or
	Outstanding. Reverse the status by placing the small arrow
	on the item and pressing Enter.

	Clear all the items on a page with the checks and deposits returned
	from the bank.

	Use the Escape key to balance the checkbook. A Balance window
	will display the Checkbook Balance along with other information.


3.17				Special Considerations


	If the balance does not agree, leave the Balance program to make
	any corrections necessary. Run the Balance program again to match
	the correct balance.

	Please view the Appendix for information on End of Year processing.

4.10				Why When Where


	Cash Control has four budget accounts. The Budget Accounts are
	used to set aside cash for large payments that come due. I like
	to set aside a little cash from each deposit to make it easier to
	pay large payments when they are due. Some examples are...

		Business Budget

		IRS Personal Estimate of Income Tax.
		Sales Tax collected and due quarterly.
		Employee Withholding due quarterly.
		Service Charges for Visa / Mastercard.


		Home Budget

		The house payment or rent.
		The car, camper, or boat payment.
		All the insurance premiums.
		The credit card debt.

	The program is limited to four Budget Accounts. More than four
	accounts makes managing the remaining cash very limited.

	The general idea of the budget is to set aside for larger and
	not so regular expenses.

	Using the house payment as an example, budget half of the payment
	out of the middle of the month check. Then budget again out of the
	end of the month check. When the payment is due, transfer the amount
	budgeted and make the payment. Likewise longer term budgeting requires
	taking some from each pay check and saving for the expense.

4.11   		  	    Making the transfer.


	Select the Transfer Budget Accounts from the Deposits menu.

	The four Account totals and a description of each are displayed
	with lines under the totals.

	Enter a Dollar amount to subtract from the account for each
	of the four accounts. Press the Enter key after each entry.

	A line entry is automatically made to the check register
	indicating that a transfer was made and the total amount. The
	Budget and Deposit Report will also contain a line entry to
	show the amounts taken from each account.


4.12			     Viewing the results.


	Select the Deposit and Budget Amounts under the Reports menu to
	view the transfers.
