XPENS
The Expense Account Reporting Program
Copyright 1992 Richard A. Williams
A. General Description.
XPENS is designed to provide employers and employees with a quick,
easy to use expense account screen that will eliminate the
necessity of keeping a supply of expense report forms and doing all
the arithmetic involved in preparing the report. Because reports
are stored on disk, the employee copy of the report becomes
unnecessary.
The Expense Report printout is designed for Epson-compatible
or HP LaserJet Printers.
Files supplied on disk:
XPENS.EXE Object Program
XPENS.DOC This Documentation File
XPVENDOR.DOC Documentation for Shareware Distributors and
Bulletin Board Sysops.
XPENS.SMP Sample Expense Account
XPREAD.ME Read Me first File.
B. Getting Started.
Copy the object program and sample report to your production disk:
XPENS.EXE Object Program
XPENS.SMP Sample Report
Work files and configuration files will be created as needed in the
current path. Expense files can be SAVED in any directory on any
disk drive.
To use XPENS, set your current path to the directory
containing the XPENS programs and files, type in XPENS.
Follow instructions on the screen. Before printing, use
the Print, Setup menu option to indicate which type of printer
you have.
