12/30/90 Corrected bug that would not allow you to save your expense
if you added an account name and also if you had added a name
that was not on your list of frequent creditors, would not
ask if you wished to save the name to your list.
------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not a bug.
Note: If you enter an account number that is not on your list of
accounts and when asked if you wish to save it to your list,
you answer no - the expense WILL NOT be saved to disk.
The reason for not saving to disk is that when your expenses
are calculated, there will be no account number to assign to
the expense and therefore the expense will not be counted.
Each expense MUST be assigned to an account number and name!
------------------------------------------------------------------
12/30/90 Removed the sample 'BOOKKE.CFG' configuration file from the
compressed 'BOOKKE13.EXE' archive. This was done so you would
be forced to enter a 'data drive' for YOUR computer configuration.
Placed the sample expense & receipts files in "SAMPLE.EXE" which
is a compressed self-desolving archive.
Compiled with Turbo Pascal version 6.0 which resulted in much
tighter code and a smaller program size on disk.
01/01/91 When "starting a new account year" you are given a choice of
keeping your "List of Accounts", "List of Customers" and
"List of Creditors" or starting a new list. You will probably
wish to keep your existing lists but now you have a choice.
Changed the way the index files (IDX) are used which results
in much faster checking and calculations. The size of the index
file on disk is now one-half the size of previous index files.
more information
----------------
1.
Records of expenses and receipts may be entered in any order as long
as records for each month is in cornological order - that is - May
must follow April, July must follow June, etc.
You cannot enter records for June and then enter records for May, etc.!
Example:
You may enter a record for June 21, 1991 , a record for June 3,1991,
a record for June 25, 1991, then a record for June 1, 1991, etc.
This is acceptable.
You MAY NOT enter a record for June 21, 1991, a record for
June 3, 1991, a record for JULY 8, 1991, then a record for
June 25, 1991, etc. ( Note: JULY is out of order ).
This is NOT ACCEPTABLE!
2. * *
Before attempting to add expenses and receipts you MUST have the
data (.DAT) files existing. You may either create them from the
Setup Menu or use the sample data files.
Either way, they must exist PRIOR TO ADDING EXPENSES, etc.
* *
3.
Added error routines to detect incorrect dates entered in the
expenses and receipts dates fields.
4. Added record number to the on screen listing of receipt details
to aid in editing a record if necessary. (Thanks to Henry Baker
for the info).
01/02/91
1.
Added the ability to look at the account numbers and creditors at
any time ( without changing your selection ) while you are in the
expense entry screen. ( Thanks Henry Baker ).
You must now have your cursor on the "Enter creditor name" screen
row in order to change that selection. If your cursor is any other
place on the screen, your selection will not be changed.
You must now have your cursor on the "Enter account number" screen
row in order to change that selection. If your cursor is any other
place on the screen, your selection will not be changed.
When you press F1 or F2 to look at the creditors or account numbers
you may now highlight the blank space and press <Esc> or <enter>
without having your previous selection change even if you are in
the "Enter creditor name" or 'Enter account number" position.
Note: If you create a new "ACCOUNTS.DAT" or "CREDITOR.DAT" file, you
will need to enter a blank line as the first entry in your
files for the above to work correctly.
2.
Added the ability to escape from the expense entry screen without
your entry automatically being save to disk. You will now be asked
to confirm saving or not saving. If you answer N or n then your
record WILL NOT be saved to disk.
3.
Added the display of your current data directory path, as listed
in the BOOKKE.CFG file, on the main menu screen. This way you are
always aware of where your data is stored.
You may have multiple data files stored in different sub-directories
and for different applications if you wish. Of course, these files
WILL NOT be added together when doing computations. They will be
computed separately.
NOTE: You MUST have a BOOKKE.CFG file IN THE DIRECTORY FROM WHICH
YOU ARE OPERATING and Bookke.Exe MUST be included in a "Path"
statement in your autoexec.bat file in the root directory.
4.
Added the ability to look at the customers at any time ( without
changing your selection ) while you are in the receipt entry screen.
Note: If you create a new "CUSTOMER.DAT" file, you will need to enter
a blank line as the first entry in your files for the above to work
correctly. You need to sort your "CUSTOMER.DAT" file after each
session of new entries.
01/03/91

date of 01/01/YY and the default ending date of today's date. If these
dates are satisfactory, just press <F10> and the results will be listed
on screen or printed on the printer ( printer must be ready ).
2.
Added the ability to escape from the "Enter frequent customer",
"creditor" and "account number" without automatically saving the
