- ---------------------PENNYWISE CASH BOOK ---------------------------
- PENNYWISE (PW) is intended as a flexible cashbook type program for the AMIGA.
-
- The interface is intuitive, making good use of the AMIGA's features. The
- program has been designed to keep key-board input to a minimum.
-
- Click 'VERSION' to see which version of PW you are using.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- CONCEPTS:
-
- A PENNYWISE FILE IS BASED ON A FISCAL PERIOD THAT
- YOU DEFINE IN THE 'ACCOUNTS' WINDOW. THE USER
- DETERMINES THE PERIOD.
-
- AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, DATA ENTRY IS KEPT TO A MINIMUM.
- PAYEES/ PAYERS, COST CENTERS, TRANSACTION TYPES & TRANSACTIONS
- (* SEE OTHER HELP FILES ABOUT THESE *)
- ARE ONLY ENTERED ONCE AND THEREAFTER CAN BE SELECTED FROM
- A SCAN LIST!
-
-
- Some screens have gadgets at the bottom. They are
- O.K = Back To Account Description Window | SAVE = Save record now!
- << Goto the first record | < goto to previous record
- > Goto the next record | >> Goto The Last Record
- ? Bring Up the SCANLIST to find an item, [QUIT] = QUIT!

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 'Menus' for making further selections are found in the normal AMIGA
- manner. Select [About Menus] from the HELP Requester to learn about
- using menus.

-
- PW is programmed in Benchmark MODULA-2. It was also an exercise in
- dynamic memory allocation. This way no limits, other than those created
- by the hardware, are placed on the transaction numbers.
-
- NOTE: A trait of BENCHMARK'S COMPILER is that the compiled program's size
- is usually much larger than the amount of memory that program will require.
