Expense Log Version 3.0 -- README
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   THANK YOU for purchasing Expense Log 3.0!

   HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPENSE LOG 3.0:
   -----------------------------------------
   o  2MB or more RAM
   o  80386SX or higher processor
   o  624K hard disk space for software
   o  Mouse driver installed
   o  VGA color graphics card/monitor or better
   
   TO INSTALL EXPENSE LOG:
   ----------------------
   Run INSTALL.EXE from either a floppy diskette or your hard disk
   
   TO RUN EXPENSE LOG:
   ------------------
   The first time you run EL30.EXE, the program will create three files to
   hold your expense information in.  They are:

      EXPLOG.DAT    EXPLOG.K01    EXPLOG.K02

   EXPLOG.DAT is the data file which holds your expense records in the order
   which they are entered (sequential).

   EXPLOG.K01 is a "key" file which sorts EXPLOG.DAT's records in the
   following order: 
   
      Date, Time, Category, Description

   EXPLOG.K02 is another "key" file which sorts EXPLOG.DAT's records in the
   following order: 
   
      Category, Description, Date, Time

   IMPORTANT:
   ---------
   MAKE SURE YOU OBSERVE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:
   1.  EXPLOG.DAT, EXPLOG.K01, AND EXPLOG.K02 MUST RESIDE IN THE SAME
       DIRECTORY AS EL30.EXE IN ORDER TO BE ACCESSIBLE.  DO NOT PUT THE
       DATA FILES IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTORY OR SUBDIRECTORY OR THE
       PROGRAM WILL GENERATE THREE NEW EMPTY FILES.

   2.  DO NOT DELETE EITHER EXPLOG.K01 OR EXPLOG.K02.  BOTH FILES ARE
       NECESSARY FOR THE REPORTING OPTIONS BUILT INTO EXPENSE LOG.

   3.  DO NOT RENAME EXPLOG.DAT, EXPLOG.K01, OR EXPLOG.K02.  IF THEY ARE
       RENAMED, THE PROGRAM WILL GENERATE THREE NEW EMPTY FILES.

   4.  MAKE PERIODIC BACKUPS OF YOUR INFORMATION.  THE ONLY WAY TO RESTORE
       INFORMATION IS FROM A BACKUP COPY.

   5.  USE CAUTION when restoring an "old" set of EXPLOG files for referencing
       records from a different file set.  A suggested procedure for doing so
       is this:

       a.  Make a backup of your CURRENT EXPLOG files (all 3 of them).
       b.  Restore (or copy) the "old" EXPLOG files to the directory where
           the Expense Log program file (EL30.EXE) is.
       c.  Run Expense Log as normal.
       d.  When you are ready to return to your "current" records, restore
           (or copy) the files from step 1 to the directory where the Expense
           Log program file (EL30.EXE) is.
       e.  Run Expense Log as normal.
