         Features:
 
                              Household Inventory
 
This application provides the capability to establish records for all
possessions in the home. Each item is described and recorded. Cost, location,
warranty, acquisition, market value, and other relevant information are
maintained in a database for a complete description. The inventory may be
selectively or fully viewed on the monitor or printed on hardcopy at any time.
 
                            Automobile Maintenance
 
Automobile Maintenance keeps track of expenses associated with one or more
vehicles. Gas, oil, insurance, and other expense items are recorded.
Periodically, expense reports are produced giving detail and summary
information. Calculations for miles per gallon, cost per mile, average gas cost,
etc. are included in the summary. The expense reports are previewed on the
monitor or printed on hardcopy as desired.
 
                        Meal Schedule and Shopping List
 
This application provides the necessary functions to record recipes in a
database by recipe name, classification, and entree. The ingredients and
directions for preparation are recorded in the database as well. For a meal
plan, recipes are selected by recipe name, classification, entree, or
ingredients. A meal schedule is produced together with an optional shopping
list. The number served for any recipe may be changed. The system will adjust
the quantities of ingredients for the schedule and shopping list accordingly.
 
                                 Mixed Drinks
 
This program provides the capability to maintain the ingredients of drinks in a
database by drink name and drink type (nog, cooler, punch, high ball, etc.).
Ingredients are entered in the database along with directions for preparation.
The drinks are then selected for viewing or printing by name, type, or
ingredients. Multiple ingredients may be submitted to the system and it will
locate all drinks that satisfy the desired ingredients.
 
                         Name and Address Record Book
 
The record book application gives the means to record names and addresses just
as in a typical, manual record book. Telephone numbers, birth dates, anniversary
dates, comments, etc., are kept along with the names. The records are accessed
directly. If a partial name is given, the system will present all names matching
the partial entry. As with the other HOMEWARE series, records may be readily
viewed on the monitor or printed on the printer.
 
                            Hobbies Record Keeping
 
Hobbies Record Keeping keeps track of activity associated with one or more
hobbies. With this function, generic hobby information, such as location,
purchase and market value data, characteristics, etc., are kept. Hobby activity
lists are produced as needed giving a detail breakdown as well as a summary of
total purchases and market valuations. Hobby activity lists may be produced in
several sequences through simple menu selections.
