Documentation for Account Ver 1.0 for the Series 3a
================================================

This program is shareware, so please share it with other Psion-owner!

The Account Program
-------------------

This is an other Account program with a difference.  I have included a WHATIF 
function, this allows you to see how much money there will be left at the end 
of the month (a God send for me).

I have included in this file, under the section Other Functions, a selection 
notes about this program.  You will find the same information and more in the 
help from within the program.

Quick Installation:
-------------------
Install by create a sub-directory ACCOUNT to the directory app on the disk 
you want your to keep your accounts (note the files that are stored in this 
directory are continually updated and therefore a RAM disk or internal disk 
are the most appropriate)  Into the app directory of this disk copy the 
account.hlp file.
Copy the program Account.opa and sys$help.opo into the app directory on the 
required disk (this can be different to the disk used to store the account 
files and could be a flash disk as this files are not changed during use).

Any disk
	\app\account.opa
	\app\sys$help.opo

RAM or Internal disk
	\app\account.hlp
	\app\account\

This shareware version is fully functioning in every way, with the only 
nuisance factor of being interrupted by various nag screens, encouraging you 
to support the author by sending in some money. I will then issue you with a 
personalised key-code, which you can type into Account from the Psion-P 
screen, and which will disable all the nag-screens.

Note to hackers: Please don't try to hack this program, use your programming 
skills to write something of your own instead and make a positive 
contribution to the  Psion software world!!
