QUICK CHECK BOOK will operate with 184K bytes of free RAM, but
accessing the check register and payment file maintenance
routines from within the program will not be possible. They will
have to be run from the DOS command line. In order to avoid this
hassle, make sure there is a minimum of 384K RAM before loading
QUICK CHECK BOOK. QUICK CHECK BOOK, once loaded, will show the
remaining memory.
GETTING STARTED
Back up the originals on working disks, or into a sub-directory
on your hard disk. Make some copies for your friends while you
are at it.
If you are using a hard drive, copy both disks to a subdirectory.
The name is up to you, but here is an example of a directory
named "QCB". At the DOS prompt type in "MD \QCB<enter>". Place
disk #1 in drive A:. Type in "COPY A:*.* \QCB<enter>" Place disk
#2 in drive A:. Type in "COPY A:*.* \QCB<enter>", then type in
"CD \QCB<enter>"
If you are using a 5.25 inch, two floppy drive system, you need
to set a search path to both drives. You can do this by typing
in "SET PATH=A:;B:<enter>", or include this command in your
autoexec file that you start your machine with. Place a copy of
your command.com on disk #1. Place disk #1 in drive A: and disk
#2 in drive B:. Log to drive B: by typing "B:<enter>".
If you are using a single 5.25 inch floppy drive system and no
hard drive, you need to place a copy of command.com on both
disks. The checking routines are on disk #1 and data base editor
is on disk #2. They will have to be run separately. Start by
placing disk #1 in the drive.
At the DOS prompt, type in "QCB<enter>". When QCB starts it may
recognize the absence of "SETUP.DAT", and run the INSTALL
routine, which modifies and creates SETUP.DAT. You will be given
the opportunity to change the colors, printer, display card,
monitor, data drive and directory. Use the up and down arrow
keys to select the item you wish to change, then press enter to
select from a list of possible alternatives.
QUICK CHECK BOOK will prompt you to choose a file name, or create
one. The sample files are for learning and example. Use them
for awhile to get a feel for how the program works.
When you are ready to create your own check book file, Quit and
choose create a new file. First select a name for your checking
account. Any eight character name that describes a given checking
or saving account. Next, enter the name and address that applies
to the check register. The last two things, starting balance and
check number, will inaugurate a new check register.
