- PROGRAMS: BUDGET1 --ENTERS BUDGET INFO TO FILE
- LEDGER1 --TOTALS MONTH FILE AND REPORTS
- ANNTOT1 --REPORTS THE YEAR TO DATE
- BUDGETCH --CHANGE FILE INFORMATION (ERRORS)
- AUTHOR: PAT CUNNINGHAM, SAN ANTONIO, TX
- SOFTWARE: CBASIC
- HARDWARE: 96 COL. OR GREATER PRINTER IF YOU WISH HARDCOPY
- DOC FILES: LEDGER1.DOC & BUDGET1.DOC
- The program is nicely written with good commenting. All of
- the programs run and seem to work properly. Error trapping
- could be improved. LEDGER1 allows a rerun at the end, but
- this bombed for me. The main weakness of the program is the
- inadequate user prompts. The BUDGETCH expects the user to
- remember the 20 letter that reference the expense catagories.
- The catagory discriptions are available as a user call from
- the BUDGET1 program. It would be an improvement if the
- program provided the information without request in both
- BUDGET1 and BUDGETCH. All in all--a usable program to enter
- monthly expense forthe home--after you get use to the required
- input formats. LEDGER1 sign-off is a reference to a mythical
- state--somewhat akin to Camalot combined with Devil's Island.

- SOFTWARE: CBASIC
- HARDWARE: NO SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
- DOC FILE: ROBO.DOC
- ROBO is a math drill (addition) for preschoolers and first-
- graders. It has a line of numbers provided that, I guess, save
- on the fingers and toe method I use. This might make some
- teachers unhappy. The programs is a nice little helper for
- those learning beginning math. Reviewer: Ken Prevo of CACHE
