======================== Q-Bank v1.x (Shareware) ================= Aug '97 WHAT IS IT? ======================================================================= If you want a small bank account program (less than 10K) that runs in the background and allows you to enter, edit and delete bank transactions, then this should do the job. All Transactions are displayed in a scrolling display and can be fully edited. I've included an example data file to give you an idea of how it works. QUICK INSTALL ======================================================================= Copy the following files to your Psion's internal disk: I:\APP\QBANK.OPA (essential) I:\OPD\QBANK.OPD (optional example file - recommended) (If the second file is not found, a new one is created). Then from the main system screen, press PSION I to install 'QBANK'. FEATURES ======================================================================= - FULL EDITING Any entry (past/future/present) can be fully edited. If the date is changed, the transaction will be moved to the correct position in the file. - NO TIME LIMITS Transactions can have any date and will be inserted in the correct position in the file. - FULL DATE Day AND date are displayed along with the transaction details, to aid clarity. - BACKGROUND BUTTON Pressing the escape key will send the program to the background. - PASSWORD (Optional) Everytime the Psion is switched on, the program will require a password to operate. - SMALL MEMORY The whole program is less than 10K, and requires @17K of memory to run. - FIND and PURGE functions. - INTELLIGENT SORTING - AUTO FILE DEFRAGMENTATION REGISTRATION (£5) ======================================================================= To enable unlimited entries, you will need to register. Just send a paltry £5 (US$15) to Q-Bank registration, 4 Braham House, London SE11 5LD, Great Britain. WITH YOUR CONTACT NUMBER!! (Email or telephone), so that I can give you the registration code. *** NO LIABILITY FOR PAYMENTS LOST IN POST WILL BE ASSUMED *** *** SHAREWARE REGISTRATION FOR v1.x WILL CEASE AFTER 31/12/99. *** *** REGISTRATIONS RECEIVED AFTER THIS DATE (FOR v1.x) WILL *** *** BE VOID. *** If there is enough interest out there, I'll extend the program. e-mail: JKN001@SOC.UNL.AC.UK NOTES ======================================================================= - PASSWORD PROTECTION a) The password function stops a quick look from someone who shouldn't. But it should not be relied upon for secure protection from prying eyes due to the 'open' nature of data files. Use the Psion's main system password for complete security. b) Everytime the Psion is switched on, QBank will require a password (if activated) to be accessed, thus protecting your data. This feature will *NOT* be invoked if the menu, or any dialog is displayed at the time of turning the machine off. This is due to a limitation in OPL which I cant seem to work around. c) Exiting and restarting the program will not affect the password. - 'EXIT ALL APPLICATIONS' If using PsiWin or the system menu option to 'Exit all applications', QBank will not closedown if the menu or a dialog is displayed. - PROGRAM SPEED Program speed (sorting) is not necessarily dependent on the number of transactions, but mainly on the time between the 1st and last transactions - a gap of more than a year should be avoided. Use the Purge function to avoid this. - NEW TRANSACTIONS and SORTING New entries will not invoke file sorting IF the date of the transaction is later than the last entry in the file. DISCLAIMER ======================================================================= No warranty or guarentee of any kind is given on this program. No liability for any damage or loss to equipment, data, money or software will be assumed. You use this program at your own risk.
