-
- BUDGET-MASTER is for those who might
-
- have a little problem when it comes
-
- to managing expenses. The program is
-
- a friendly, menu-oriented budget
-
- manager. It allows you to manage up
-
- to 16 different expenses per month.
-
- The program records the ideal and real
-
- expenses for each month, the amount of
-
- money left after expenses, and the
-
- difference between real and ideal. In
-
- addition, the program can create
-
- reports for one to twelve months.
-
- When entering any money amounts,
-
- always remember to use the plus (+) or
-
- minus (-) signs. This program
-
- requires you to use these.
-
- *** NOTE ***
-
- If you happen to press RUN/STOP
-
- while in the middle of running the
-
- program, simply type GOTO 100 and
-
- press RETURN. After this, you will be
-
- returned to the main menu.
-
- **** VERY SPECIAL NOTE ****
-
- In the original version of BUDGET-
-
- MASTER, you had to change DATA
-
- statements to customize the program
-
- for your own situation. Because we
-
- at LOADSTAR thought this wasn't a
-
- great idea, we decided to modify the
-
- program a bit. Now, instead of DATA
-
- statements, the information is kept
-
- in a SEQuential file that is named
-
- 'BUDGET.FILE'. We have also added the
-
- option to 'Generate/alter catagories'.
-
- It is the first option in the main
-
- of the program. When you choose this
-
- option, you can change either the
-
- actual catagories (such as rent, food,
-
- etc..) or you can change the ideal
-
- amounts for each catagory. To change
-
- any item, simply input its number when
-
- the computer asks 'change which?'.
-
- You will then be asked for the new
-
- catagory or amount. If you decide you
-
- don't won't to change it, simply press
-
- RETURN. After you have input the
-
- new information, all of the catagories
-
- or amounts will be reprinted to the
-
- screen. You will now have the chance
-
- to change anything else. By pressing
-
- '\', you will return to a small menu
-
- where you can choose to change some
-
- more items. From this small menu, you
-
- can also return the the main menu by
-
- pressing '\' again. When you do this,
-
- the BUDGET.FILE will be rewritten with
-
- your new changes and you will be
-
- returned to the main menu. We hope
-
- that this option will help you to
-
- customize the program to fit your
-
- individual needs.
