- Here are descriptions of two other Shareware programs produced by
- Gulf Sierra, PC-ACCOUNT and SHERLOCK.
-
-
- PC-ACCOUNT
-
- PC-ACCOUNT is a personal accounting system with data base
- retrieval capabilities. With it, you can discard your checkbook
- ledger. Its most unique feature is its ability to print on any
- personal check.
-
- Personal checks are usually not designed for the normal line
- spacing of 6 lines per inch. This program utilizes the variable
- line spacing of most printers to achieve the efficiency and
- accuracy of having your computer print on your checks. A utility
- lets you create formats for fifteen different checking accounts.
- The check is printed as soon as the transaction is completed.
- The amount is printed on the check in words.
-
- A directory is maintained of check payees and memo data to be
- printed on the check, such as its purpose or your account number
- with the payee. Payees are selected by number, and the name and
- memo are automatically transferred to the check.
-
- Searches can be made for all transactions against an account, for
- a user defined code, for an amount, for a text string within the
- comment, or for a check number. These searches can be made
- through any selected consecutive months, so a full years
- transactions in a specific category can be retrieved at tax time.
-
- Recurring transactions such as loan payments and cash
- distributions to accounts can be saved, edited and invoked on
- command for auto entry. There is a routine that can reconcile
- your bank statement swiftly. Another routine double checks the
- line by line totals in your checkbook.
-
- This system makes full use of the features of the IBM PC. All 10
- function keys are used. Listings of accounts and transactions
- can be output to the screen, to the printer, to a disk text file,
- or to a file that can be imported by Lotus 1-2-3.
-
- This software works on the IBM PC/XT/AT with 256K of free memory
- and at least 1 double sided disk drive. It runs under PC DOS 2.0
- and later versions. It is distributed on bulletin boards,
- CompuServe, and by Shareware disk vendors. It comes in three
- files: PCACT220.TXT, PCDOC220.EXE, and PCACT220.EXE.

- SHERLOCK
-
- SHERLOCK is designed to do one job, compare two ASCII files line
- by line. When they don't match, SHERLOCK raises a flag. At that
- point, you may scroll either or both files passed the mismatch to
- put them in sync and then continue. SHERLOCK contains features
- for searching, jumping around the files, restarting, and copying
- lines to a printer. SHERLOCK does not write to either file.
-
- SHERLOCK is designed as a tool for programmers, writers and
- workstation support personnel. It is best on files like program
- source files, AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and text documents.
-
- SHERLOCK displays five lines of each file in separate windows.
- The line from each file that is being compared is in the center
- of the window and highlighted. The line number of the center
- line is displayed in the upper left corner of the window frame.
- When they do not match, a message pops up between the windows.
- The top line of each window frame displays the number of the
- center line and the name of the file.
-
- At the end of this documentation is a page showing the SHERLOCK
- screen. Since it contains graphic lines, it may not print on
- your printer. View this on your computer screen.
-
- You may order a disk with the latest PC-ACCOUNT system and
- SHERLOCK from me. Send $45.00 to register PC-ACCOUNT and/or
- $20.00 to register SHERLOCK right away and get the benefit of
- immediate telephone assistance, or send $3.00 for a disk with
- both. The same software will be sent First Class whether you
- register PC-ACCOUNT or SHERLOCK now or not. Visa and MasterCard
- accepted.

- This is the main screen of SHERLOCK. It illustrates the two
- windows that contain the text being displayed and the list of
- functions available. Unfortunately, it doesn't show the yellow,
- brown, black, red and blue colors or the reverse video of this
- screen.
-
- The middle lines of the top two windows are highlighted. They
- are both line 356 in the respective documents. The flag between
- the windows indicate that these lines do not match. One line has
- the number with the value 66 and the other has 65.
