Welcome to the WaverlyStreet Easy Money Program (version 1.4) Easy Money (EZM) is a quick and easy-to-use means to record where all your money comes from and where it goes. I set out to write it after becoming frustrated with several other popular "money" programs, all of which seemed a lot more complicated than they needed to be (or at least a lot more than *I* wanted). All I wanted was a (slightly) glorified ledger book on the computer screen, where I could simply note how much money I had spent on what, and then be able to review the information and print simple reports. Using EZM is quick and painless. You can easily start the program, enter in several expenses, and get back out in a matter of seconds. This high speed, no nonsense operation makes it easy to get in the habit of using the program every day. EZM organizes records according to user-defined categories. For example, you might set up categories for "work", "food", "shelter", "utilities", etc... Whenever you make or spend any money, make an entry under the appropriate category. If you keep this up on a regular basis, you will be rewarded with some genuinely useful composite information. The EZM Macro utility allows you to automate the recording of recurring expenses and income, such as payroll checks. Macro files can be written to automatically make a number of entries at the same time. The EZM Reports utility allows you to specify exactly which categories, and which range of dates to include. All reports have a summary section showing the sub-totals for each category, the percentage of the grand total, and the grand total. There is also a simple bar graph in the summary section. At your option, the summary is followed by a complete listing of each line item, grouped under category headers and divided into "money IN" and "money OUT". If desired, you may set up passcode protection, where the program will not start unless the correct code is first entered. (The passcode requirement may turned "off" or "on" at any time.) Screen colors may be modified however you see fit, and there is a small "reminder" utility to keep you from forgetting important things. EZM requires an IBM-compatible PC running DOS 3.1 or better, about 250K memory, color VGA display, and free disk space greater than the size of the EZM data files. If you have a RAM drive configured, you may direct EZM to use it for temporary file processing (greatly reducing hard disk activity). NEW IN VERSION 1.4 When entering a new line item, you may now scroll through old notes, and pick one to re-use and/or edit. This saves a lot of typing, and also makes searching records for a certain word more reliable (because of the lower risk of a spelling error). I've removed the "Report Created with the WaverlyStreet Easy Money Program" stuff from the end of printed reports. (That was kind of annoying, eh?) LICENSE INFORMATION EZM comes in two different versions. The first is an evaluation version (EZM[version number]E.EXE). The evaluation version is fully functional, but it "nags" you a little bit. If you like it, send in for registered version - no more nagging! Feel free to share the EVALUATION version with others. The use of the REGISTERED version requires that a registration fee be paid to WaverlyStreet. Each individual who uses the registered version must pay the registration fee - the program may not be copied and shared with other people. REGISTRATION INFORMATION Registration costs only $15 (US), plus $2.50 (US) to cover the disk, shipping materials, and postage. So to order, write a check for $17.50 (US funds, payable to WaverlyStreet) and send it to: WaverlyStreet, P.O. Box 14249, Columbus, Ohio, 43214 (US) In exchange, I will send you a disk containing the latest unrestricted version of the program and documentation, through the US Postal Service. Make sure that you include your name and ship-to address, and please indicate whether you want a 3.5 or a 5.25 inch disk. (I'll send 3.5" if you do not specify). THANKS!
