VEHICLES
This program was written out of necessity. The software available for
keeping track of vehicle expenses, etc. did not suit my needs. So I
wrote this (using the Clarion Professional Developer).
Files contained in the VEHICLES.ZIP file are:
CATEGORY.DAT (data file)
CATEGORY.K01 (key/index file)
VEHICLE.HLP (help file)
VEHICLES.EXE (executable file)
README (this file)
Make a directory of your choice (e.g. C:\VEHICLES), change to that
directory and copy the files to the directory.
Every screen has HELP by pressing the F1 key. Everything is covered
in these files so no extended documentation is included.
The CATEGORY file will accomodate 26 categories using the letters
A thru Z. Numbers could also be used. There is one caveat: the letter
"F" has been set up as "FUEL PURCHASES". That's what the included
CATEGORY file contains. DO NOT CHANGE OR DELETE IT! The program
depends upon it for mileage reporting.
A TICKLER showing scheduled service, etc. in the next 1,000 miles can
be popped up on any menu screen. The information comes from a file
which you "fill in".
You have the option of printing to SCREEN, PRINTER or FILE. When the
option screen appears just press the corresponding FIRST letter of your
choice and press [ENTER].
A couple of reports require DATE ranges. The input screen will default
to "01/01/80" and "12/31/99" for the beginning and ending dates,
respectively. If you press [ENTER] at each prompt the report will print
everything in the particular file. You can, of course, change these
dates.
There is also DATA BACKUP and RESTORE on the menu. You just have to
supply a FORMATTED disk.
That's it. This was labor of love. If you find the program at all
useful to you, you can show your appreciation by sending me a check
for whatever it's worth to you. Thanks.
