********************************************************************************
* SAVINGS BOND PROGRAM *
* WRITTEN 12-10-86 BY DICK STUBBS *

********************************************************************************
Because of the need to track one's investments in U.S. savings bonds, I
have witten a program in BASIC that keeps tabs on all of one's savings bonds.
The program is a menu driven program called 'SVBNDPGM.BAS' that is intended
to be used on the ATARI ST.
The program is very easy to use. When it is first run, the user is
prompted for a filename, which must be 8 characters or less, plus a 3 character
extention (i.e. 'filename.ext'). The user is then asked to verify that the
filename is correct. It is very important that this filename be correct, as
that is the name of the file that all of the bond data is stored in.
After satisfying the filename prompt, a menu is displayed which gives the
user several options as to which function he/she wants to perform on the above
named file (i.e. create a new file, add to an existing file, list/correct
individual bond data, delete items from file, list entire file, list bond
summary, print entire file, print bond summary, print mature bond list, use
another file, and exit program).
After selecting the option desired, the user is prompted for all required
input. Edit checks are performed on various data fields to be input so as to
insure that the data put into the file is reasonable. By just following the
prompts, the user can easily create and manipulate the file.
Of particular interst is the option to list/correct individual bonds.
This option allows a user to correct any data field (i.e. issue date, bond
type, etc.) of a particular bond without having to retype all of the data for
that bond.
This program allows data for up to 100 bonds to be entered at one time.
This limit can easily be changed by changing the dimension statements in the
initialization module of the program (if anyone can stand to enter data for
more than 100 bonds at one time).
*******************************************************************************
To run the savings bond program, BASIC must be first booted into the ST.
Then the program 'SVBNDPGM.BAS' must be loaded. After that, it's just a matter
running the program and following the prompts.

This program is set up to print reports on the EPSON printer. If another
printer is to be used, some modification may be necessary.
GOOD LUCK!!!
