BeMyCheckbook 1.3 User's Guide


Introduction and What's New

Thank you for purchasing BeMyCheckbook as a tool for tracking your personal finances on the BeOS.

BeMyCheckbook is a product that provides solid financial handling to ensure that your personal finances are not only easier to manage, but also secure within this program. As a tool that utilizes correct currency handling, it is sure to be an asset to your financial management. It is the first user-oriented financial application for the BeOS!

BeMyCheckbook is a tool for managing personal accounts, with support for transfers between accounts, categories for transactions, and reports to give visual feedback on income and spending. Fully personalized currency formatting gives this program a customizable interface that will allow you to manage accounts in different currencies. In addition, international date formatting is supported.

This release of BeMyCheckbook adds several features requested by users of version 1.0. Dates now support two-digit and no-digit year entry (the date defaults to the current year) for your convenience when entering transactions. In addition, internationalization has been extended by supporting a variable decimal place in currencies, as well as larger magnitudes of money (see the page on the intended uses of this program). We hope that these additional features will help serve your BeOS financial needs.

This release of BeMyCheckbook is dedicated to my loving, and very understanding, husband Todd. This time, he had to put up with my insane programming at 3am for a change! Thanks also to Paris Barnes, for testing early versions, and to my mother for giving me the financial sensibility to not only write this program, but to make it this far in every day life.

We hope that you enjoy working with this release of BeMyCheckbook, and that you will pass along any insightful additions to this product for the next release. Already we have another release of BeMyCheckbook in the works that should be released sometime in January 2000. The next version will add enhancements in the account types handled, and we plan to add a full loan calculator and tracker for your convenience.

Best Wishes in your personal financial tracking!

Sincerely,

Constance M. Brett
