Business Travel Expenser
                              ------------------------
        The Business Travel Expenser program will track and calculate daily
        travel expenses. Pertinent business information for taxes is then
        calculated and listed at your command. Last Trip, Monthly and Yearly
        reports are available for viewing or printed for reference. The
        program even produces a form for logging expense information.


                               Computer Requirements
                               ---------------------
        IBM  PC/XT/AT  and  close compatibles with at least 256K of RAM and
        either color or monochrome  display.   The  program  detects  which
        display  is used and adjusts the display to suit.  If you are using
        an  early  Leading  Edge  Model  D  with  a monochrome monitor this
        feature will not work due to an inherent  incompatibility  of  this
        machine. However, a Model D with color display will work.

                  Selecting operations and entering information.
                  ----------------------------------------------
        Selecting the operation you want may be accomplished in  either  of
        two  ways:

              (1)  Use  the  cursor keys to highlight the desired operation
                   and press the return key.
              (2) Press the capitalized letter  of  the  desired  operation
                  (upper and lower case both work).

                                    Expense Log
                                    -----------
        Expense and trip information is entered, changed, or viewed here.
        The information is stored on pages just like a book, with 12 entries
        to a page. All pages that have information on them may be viewed and
        changed.

        If you make an error when entering numeric data, the <Esc> key will
        back you up to the beginning of that field.  If you notice an error
        after the data has been entered, the <Esc> key will back you up to
        the previous field. When entering data in the Explanation, the
        backspace key will permit changes.

                                      Reports
                                      -------
        Trip, Monthly and Yearly reports are available. Trip reports will
        list all transactions for each trip and then summarize the results.
        Monthly reports will list all transactions for a calendar month.
        Yearly reports will list all transactions from the first entry to
        the present date. Reports may be viewed on screen or sent to your
        printer.


                                   Instructions
                                   ------------
        These instructions may be viewed a page at a time on the screen  or
        sent to your printer.

                                    Print Forms
                                    -----------
        A printed logging form for use on your trip may be obtained with
        this function. It provides space for logging date and daily expense
        data. If you are familiar with the use of a text proccessor or text
        editor you may modify this form to suit your special needs. Just
        make sure to use a non-document mode that produces straight ASCII
        text, and use the file name FORM.TXT. -

                                General Information
                                -------------------

        Before using Business Travel Expenser it is best practice to copy
        the distribution disk to a newly formatted fresh disk and store the
        original away for safe keeping.
-

        The disk will accomodate more than 3000 records. It is suggested
        that a new disk be used for each calendar year. It is highly
        un-likely that any one year's activity will exceed the capacity of
        one disk. This method will simplify storage of information in case
        of an IRS audit.

        Good  record  keeping  practices  are  essential to keeping on good
        terms with any IRS auditor.

        The forms option provides you with a useful tool for temporary
        expense logging. Use of this tool will help to ensure that all trips
        are recorded, along with all expense items. Any "forgotten" expense
        items will also reduce deductions on your tax forms.
