Invoice

This runs a program called "WinPrbil.EXE" located in the directory your Trucklog program is in.  This program can be modified using the supplied source code in the file "WinPrbil.BAS" it should be compatible with almost any BASIC compiler (I used QuickBasic v 4.5).   With the addition of such things as line numbers etc. It should be compatible with other compilers (some are available free or next to free on the Internet).  If you decide you would like to change the name or location of this invoice printing program, you will have to edit the file "WinPrbil.PIF" located in your Trucklog directory with the Pif editor contained in the Control Panel of Windows 3.X.

NOTE:

  I suggest you make a backup copy of the original "WinPrbil.BAS", "WinPrbil.EXE",  and the "WinPrbil.PIF" programs before attempting any changes to the source code.
