- DOCUMENTATION ON LEDGER1
-
- LEDGER1 is a source program in CBASIC, version 2, written by Patrick Cunning-
- ham of San Antonio, Tx. It is a companion program to the entry program, BUDGET1
- also written in CBASIC2. I wrote it for a 48K ALTOS ACS8000 computer with dual
- 8" (20 cm) floppy drives, but it will most surely work with less memory. Some
- dimension statements take up considerable room in memory.
-
- The program should be compiled with the CBASIC2 compiler, or revised to work
- with whatever compiler you have on line. Then run as usual. The program
- assumes that a month's records, or some fraction of a month's records, have
- been entered in 64 character record lengths in the order DATE%, PAYEE$,
- CATEGORY.CODE$(1), AMOUNT(1).....CATEGORY.CODE$(4),AMOUNT(4).
-
- A few prompts are needed to start off the program. The program automatically
- creates new files, given the year, as EXPnnnn.TOT where nnnn is the A.D. year.
- If you merely want to get totals, but not put them on disc, you can specify
- UPDATE or DISC at the appropriate prompt. You may also do more than one month
- at a time.
-
- The output can be put onto the line printer by adding LPRINTER at appropriate
- places in the program. The output gives, by category, the date of payment,
- payee, and individual amount. It gives a total for each category for the
- month; it ends with a total of month's payments. The entire program takes
- about two minutes to run.
-
- The program is offered for non-commercial distribution. (C) copyright 1980
- by Patrick Cunningham; not to be sold for profit.
-
- The companion program that gives annual totals is ANNTOT1.
