These files are to be used with Twist 2, a database program imported by
Oregon Research Associates.  Place the DB and R1-R3 files wherever you
keep your Twist 2 databases.

As you can guess from the title, CHECK.DB is a simple checking account
database.  It contains the following fields:

        CHECK_NO -- leave this field blank for a deposit.
        DATE     -- date check was written.
        PAYEE    -- who the check was written to; select DEPOSIT for
                 a deposit to the account; select ATM Withdrawal to
                 indicate a cash withdrawal.
        AMOUNT   -- amount of the check, withdrawal or deposit.
        MEMO     -- a text field to let you add notes to the check.
        TAX_DEDUCTIBLE
                 -- a check box allowing you to mark checks as
                 tax deuctible donations.
        VALUE    -- calculated field:  positive if a deposit, negative
                 if a check or ATM withdrawal.

The data entry form looks like a check and uses pop-up menus to choose
PAYEE.  You may edit the form to add or delete any items in the pop-up
to suit your particular needs.

The three reports are as follows:
        
        Check register -- just what you think:  lists all checks
                       and deposits and a running balance.
        Tax time!      -- displays and totals only those checks
                       which are marked tax deductible.
        Balance        -- Quick balance, displays no individual checks
                       or deposits.  

These files may be distributed freely but I would prefer that all files
be distributed intact.  If any changes are made to the original files,
please note them in additional comments above.
