		  About WinCharging

Thank you trying WinCharging.  It's the newest and best way 
to manage your credit cards.

As you may know, WinCharging can do a lot more than simply 
monitor credit card expenditures.  If you use credit cards 
to earn car rebates or money back, WinCharging can help you
earn even more.  When you've reached the maximum rebate on 
one card, WinCharging warns you so you can switch to 
another income-producing card.  That way your credit cards 
are always working for you.

Another reason to use WinCharging is that while your credit
cards are safe, you can never be sure about your account 
numbers.  With mail theft on the rise (especially of account 
numbers), it is imperative to know exactly what you're 
paying for.  WinCharging helps you keep track of each and 
every one of your charges.

WinCharging can tell you when you've reached your cards' 
credit limits.  It can generate all sorts of analytical 
reports about your spending habits and even print out tax
summaries for you.

WinCharging holds a Four-Star rating from Ziff-Davis, 
the parent company of PC Magazine.  It was also named 
runner-up in the 1995 Shareware Awards contest.  One 
Ziff-Davis reviewer reported that "WinCharging is a 
sophisticated credit card management system", and that 
it's "a strong tool for detail-oriented people."

		    Shareware Version

This is the "try before you buy" Version of WinCharging.

It is a full-featured, fully functional program that you 
can test on your computer for sixty days.  After that 
period, you will not be able to create new records.  You 
can, of course, continue to access your existing records 
after the evaluation period.

=========================================================

		      INSTALLATION

WinCharging requires Windows 3.1 or 3.11, 4 MB RAM, and
2.2 MB of hard disk space.

To ensure a perfect installation, make sure all of the 
files listed in CONTENTS.TXT appear on your shareware 
distribution floppy disk.  If any are missing, contact 
your shareware distributor immediately.

If you downloaded WinCharging's ZIP file and expanded it 
on your hard disk, make sure all of the files are present.
You can then copy them to a floppy disk to create an 
installation disk or simply install WinCharging from 
that directory (which is considerably faster).

To install, start Windows.  Open the File Menu and click 
Run.  Put the installation disk in your a: drive and enter 
A:SETUP on Run's command line.  If you put the disk in 
your b: drive, enter B:SETUP.  If you're installing from
a directory on your hard drive, enter the full path plus 
SETUP (for example: C:\TEMPDIR\SETUP).

The installation procedure checks to ensure you have 
Windows 3.1 or 3.11 and that your system meets certain 
other requirements.  If all is in order, it displays the
default directory for WinCharging's files.

You can put WinCharging's files in any directory you wish,
but as with any other major program, the files should be 
placed in their own directory, and that directory should be
right off the root directory for optimum efficiency 
(e.g., C:\WINCHARG).

=========================================================

		    GETTING STARTED

WinCharging comes with a special online Help file called 
MeFirst!.  It's easy to read and comes with loads of 
graphics to simplify the setup process.  When you start 
WinCharging the first time, it asks you if you would like
to see MeFirst!.  Reply yes.

With both WinCharging and MeFirst! open, you can simply
<Alt>+<Tab> back and forth, first reading MeFirst! about 
how to do something, then switching back to WinCharging
to actually do it.

When you no longer need MeFirst! you can delete it by 
simply selecting a command found on the File Menu.

=========================================================

			History

Version 1.20

Credit Card Activity:  The calculation for the Target 
amount failed to take into consideration each record's
Target switch setting.

Version 1.10

Find:  The Match Verbatim checkbox didn't work properly.

Version 1.00a

Grid Work and Details of Outstanding Bills:  If you entered
the edit mode for either of these forms and then clicked the
scrollbar, the edit field remained on the screen.  Clicking
the scrollbar now ends the edit mode without saving any
changes.

PDM Accounts:  Changing a PDM record's amount in Grid Work 
would, when the record amount was greater than the account's
total outstanding amount, incorrectly calculate the result.
