The system allows for invoicing of products, services, time charges and credit memo's. Other features include a sales program and an accounts program. When we ran the access menu and selected 7 (the accounts) it gave us a "bad command or file name" error, but when we run ACCOUNT3.EXE from the DOS command line, it worked fine. We looked in INVOICE.EXE (the menu module) with LIST to see if we could spot the file names being used by the program and saw "ACOUNTS3.EXE". We renamed the file on the disk accordingly, and it works fine. We do not think this will affect any other parts of the program. If it does, then COPY ACOUNTS3.EXE ACCOUNT3.EXE and you will have one copy for each name. Fast Invoice Writer/Statement Writer Pfannenschmid, Harold F.

The user interface could be improved: when making an entry, we could not "cursor-up" to correct an error nor Esc to get out of the entry. But these are minor points and the program is well done overall. First Invoice System 2.0 TimeSaver Products $0 #4866 is a freeware invoicing system.

The documentation is very limited. We suspect this is because the author thinks the program is so easy to use that little is needed. This may be true once you understand the concept of the program. Here it is, as best as we could figure it out: you can enter charges (sales?) by date or by account number. (Press Insert to add new entries.) If an account number, reference code or description that you enter does not already exist, a scrollable window pops up from which you can select an existing item or, by pressing Ins, you can add a new item.
