PC BARTENDER
Version 2.00
SHAREWARE
PC Bartender was written in 1986 and has since been forgotten
in our files. When it was re-discovered the documentation
files were missing. The following provides a quick summary
of PC Bartender's capabilities. If you should decide to
become a registered user you will receive a copy of the
printed manual (we still have several hundred).
To become a registered user send $25 to:

PC Bartender is fairly simple to use. Prompts are
provided on each screen to indicate the available choices.
When the first (Main) menu appears you have four choices. Push
F4 to search for a drink recipe, F5 for the inventory section and
F6 for definitions. We'll discuss each of these.
Push F4 brings up another menu with four choices. You can search
the recipe files for all drinks (F4); for just cocktails (drinks
that contain alcohol); just mocktails (no alcohol); or you can
add a drink to the recipe file.
If you push F4, F5 or F6 the next menu allows you to select how
you want to search for the drink - by name, ingredient, type or
based on your inventory. If you do a search based on the
inventory only those drinks that can be made with *just* the
ingredients in your inventory will be identified.
If you search for a name (i.e. Brandy Alexander, Flying
Grasshoppper, Gin Buck, etc.) or ingredient (gin, scotch,
tequila, etc.) any recipe whose name or ingredient list contains
what you enter will be identified as a match. For example, if
you search by name and just enter the letter F to search for,
over 30 drinks will be identified ranging from a Fog Cutter to a
Southern Freeze.
When you search for drinks by type a list of types will appear at
the bottom of the screen. Just enter the number that corresponds
to the type of drink you want to find.
When a search is started that drinks that are identified as
matching the search criteria will be listed on the screen.
To see a recipe push the return key and an arrow will appear on
the screen in the upper left. Use the cursor keys to move this
arrow to the drink you want then push enter again. The drink
recipe will appear.
With the recipe on the screen there are several things you can
do. Pushing the letter "E" allows you to make changes in the
recipe. When you push "E" a second menu line will appear. Use
the up/down cursor keys to move the arrow to the line you want to
edit then push the letter "E" again. You can then enter the
corrected information.
The last line on the screen that the arrow will move to is call
"Search for file" and there may be a number after this. This
number is used to link this recipe to another. The file number
for this recipe is shown in the upper right corner. When you
push "M" or "C" to convert to a Mocktail or Cocktail the software
displays the recipe stored as the search for file.
Getting back to the menu line at the bottom of a recipe. Pushing
"D" removes the recipe from that data file. You can get a
printed copy of the recipe by pushing "P." A second menu can be
viewed by pushing "O" for other.
On the second menu are prompts that allow you to convert the
recipe to metric (or back to english units), and adjust the size
of the recipe.
There may also be a prompt for Cocktail or Mocktail (it only
appears when needed). Pushing "C" or "M" will display the recipe
stored in the file number identified as the search for file.
This is used to link files together that have mocktail versions
of the cocktail. It allows PC Bartender to convert between the
non-alcohol version of a drink and the version with alcohol in
it.
Going back to the Main Menu. The second item is your bar
inventory. Push F5 to use this function.
The bar inventory is 3 pages (60 lines) long. Push the letter
"A" to advance through the pages or the letter "P" to print the
entire list.
To make additions or changes to the inventory push the letter
"E". You can then use the cursor keys to move around on the page
that is being displayed. Just type in the new information and
push F2 to save it.
The last item on the Main Menu is the list of Definitions and
Substitutes. Push F6 to use this function. A list will appear
on the screen. Use the cursor keys to position the arrow next to
the item you want information about then push ENTER.

HOME FINANCIAL SOFTWARE
Home Money Manager II - Checkbook and budgeting software designed specifically
for the home user. In addition to being able to
provide the normal features that most home accounting
has, HMM-II has several unique features. For example,
in addition to split entries, you can also split
your checking accounts; each portion of a split entry
can have its own memo; there are four editors that
allow you to make changes at any time; and HMM-II
automatically adjusts itself for use with any micro-
computer printer (including laser printers set for
66 lines per page).
HMM-II prints checks, tracks up to 12 checking accounts
on a floppy disk (plus 12 credit accounts), can handle
ATM and telephone transactions, provides over 950
expense catagories, and allows tracking of tax
deductible expenses.
Home Loan (The Financial Calculator) - Home Loan not only calculates the
monthly payment for nearly any type loan, it
provides tables showing the effects of various loan
options at a glance. Calculation of amortization
tables, the value of an annuity, present value, and
future value are also provided. In addition, Home
Loan has special sections to help plan for your
retirement, calculate the value of your IRA, plan
for your children's college expenses and to do
equity calculations for your home.
Home Insurance (Home Inventory and Insurance Planning) - provides a way for
you to keep track of what you own, where it is
located, what it cost, and any identifying marks.
Home Insurance uses the same user interface as the
collectors series and thus each item in your
inventory can be cataloged using any of 22
characteristics (serial #, model #, color, etc.)
Home Insurance also provides several other features
to help with your insurance planning. A life
insurance estimator will take your current financial
status and your future plans, and calculate the
amount of life insurance you need. An insurance
records file provides a convient place to store
vital information about your insurance policies.
Personal Asset Manager (tm) - Combines all three of the above into a single
integrated system.
