1 INTRODUCTION
Share-Manager is a personal share portfolio manager. If you have trouble
keeping track of your shares, then this is for you. It is not however for
very large portfolios with huge amounts of money involved. $10,000,000 is
the limit for this little package.
There are bound to be bugs, oversights, limitations, and any other general
problems. There will however be more updates and any suggestions/criticisms
from users will be helpfull.
Since I am an Australian and this program was written for my use, I
primarily wrote it for use with the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). There
may be differences between Exchanges in different countries but I have kept
the program as general as possible. For this reason I have not supplied a
list of listed companies on the market. If there is anything significantly
different then please write to me and I will see what I can do.
There is a limit to the number of different shares you can have. This
being 200. I don't forsee anyone needing more but if you do then drop me a
letter and I'll fix it.
PLEASE NOTE : To make full use of this program you need an internal clock or
at least have the date set correctly each time you use this
program. If you don't have the date set correctly then the
graph will be useless to you.
