QUICK CHECK BOOK
QUICK CHECK BOOK'S purpose is to improve the speed and accuracy of
maintaining a personal checkbook or savings account over manual
methods. It is a menu driven program that smooths the effort of
maintaining a checkbook, paying bills, sticking to a budget, and
writing checks.
The absence of accounting terminology, account numbers, and
confusing methods make QUICK CHECK BOOK the perfect solution for
those of us who would like to keep things simple and smart. Each
menu selection has a pop up help window. The F1 key accesses
them.
QUICK CHECK BOOK is mousitised, colorised, and sanitized.
It has no limit to the number of checkbooks it can maintain, or
the number of transactions in a checkbook. The amount of storage
space available determines your limitations on the number of
checkbooks and transactions.
QUICK CHECK BOOK is usable in various ways. If you want to write
checks with QUICK CHECK BOOK, it does it on YOUR checks and YOUR
printer, not just on a printer and form that somebody else uses.
If you only wish to maintain a check data base or budget, QUICK
CHECK BOOK does that too.
Balancing with the bank will no longer be the source of anguish.
To balance with the bank, you simply confirm a transaction amount
against your bank statement by pressing the return/enter key.
QUICK CHECK BOOK does the rest.
A calculator, calendar, and other utilities are always a key
stroke or two away.
QUICK CHECK BOOK features follow on the next page.

QUICK CHECK BOOK has been written to allow redirection of data to
different devices through menu selections. These menus appear
just before data is sent out, such as check writing or reporting.
The output can be sent to a printer, the screen, or a file for
future use. Report file outputs are usable by your favorite
spreed sheet or data base.
When you elect to send data to a file you must follow DOS rules
in naming the file. No more than 8 characters per name plus 3
for the extension. Refer to your DOS manual under naming files.
If, during install, you chose that a printer was not part of your
system, or QUICK CHECK BOOK does not find your printer on line
when its time to print. Then the printer select option will not
be present.
You may change your setup data at any time. If you change the
drive or directory of your data, while in the program, it will
close your current file and start a new checkbook at the new data
location.
QUICK CHECK BOOK will operate with 184K bytes of free RAM, but
accessing the check register and payment file maintenance
routines from within the program will not be possible. They will
have to be run from the DOS command line. In order to avoid this
hassle, make sure there is a minimum of 384K RAM before loading
QUICK CHECK BOOK. QUICK CHECK BOOK, once loaded, will show the
remaining memory.

GETTING STARTED
This manual makes the assumption that you have working knowledge
of DOS. Otherwise you wouldn't have gotten this far.
Back up the originals on working disks, or into a sub-directory
on your hard disk. Make some copies for your friends while you
are at it.
If you are using a hard drive, copy both disks to a subdirectory.
The name is up to you, but here is an example of a directory
named "QCB". At the DOS prompt type in "MD \QCB<enter>". Place
disk #1 in drive A:. Type in "COPY A:*.* \QCB<enter>" Place disk
#2 in drive A:. Type in "COPY A:*.* \QCB<enter>", then type in
"CD \QCB<enter>"
If you are using a 5.25 inch, two floppy drive system, you need
to set a search path to both drives. You can do this by typing
in "SET PATH=A:;B:<enter>", or include this command in your
autoexec file that you start your machine with. Place a copy of
your command.com on disk #1. Place disk #1 in drive A: and disk
#2 in drive B:. Log to drive B: by typing "B:<enter>".
If you are using a single 5.25 inch floppy drive system and no
hard drive, you need to place a copy of command.com on both
disks. The checking routines are on disk #1 and data base editor
is on disk #2. They will have to be run separately. Start by
placing disk #1 in the drive.
At the DOS prompt, type in "QCB<enter>". When QCB starts it will
recognize the absence of "SETUP.DAT", and run the install
routine, which modifies and creates SETUP.DAT. You will be given
the opportunity to change the colors, printer, display card,
monitor, data drive and directory. Use the up and down arrow
keys to select the item you wish to change, then press enter to
select from a list of possible alternatives.
Once you have set up QUICK CHECK BOOK, then you are ready to
start by selecting "Accept these settings."
QUICK CHECK BOOK will prompt you to choose a file name, or create
one. The sample files are for learning and example. Use them
for awhile to get a feel for how the program works.
When you are ready to create your own check book file, Quit and
choose create a new file. First select a name for your checking
account. Any eight character name that describes a given checking
or saving account. Next, enter the name and address that applies
to the check register. The last two things, starting balance and
check number, will inaugurate a new check register.
Page 7
Starting your checkbook
Pick a spot in your existing manual checkbook where you and your
bank last agreed on a balance (you reconciled your checking
account with the bank statement). Use the bank statement figure
for your starting balance. Choose the first check number after
your starting point as the starting check number.
IMPORTANT: YOU CAN AUTOMATE YOUR DATA ENTRY, but the necessary
information must be in the "Payments File" first. We suggest
that you go to the utility menu and select the payment file
maintenance routine. It allows you to enter your payments data
for automatic check writing. If the amount you will be paying on
a regular basis is variable (not a fixed amount) then use 0 as
the amount. The automatic check writing function will then
prompt you for a check amount at check writing time.
If you are unable to select the payments file maintenance routine
from within QUICK CHECK BOOK, then refer to page 13 for an
explanation on how to edit the check register and payments file
from outside QUICK CHECK BOOK.
With your balance in place and next check number identified it is
time to start entering checks and deposits that you have made
since your last bank reconcile.
Enter outstanding checks, cash withdrawals and deposits in your
register. Use the automatic check writing function if you have
already entered payments data. When the output router asks where
to send the output, select the screen if you don't want to
actually print the check. Data is recorded, regardless of where
you route the output, unless you select exit.
When finished entering outstanding transactions, use the Check
Register Maintenance function, found in the Utility Menu, to
correct any mistakes. If your check numbering is out of sequence
use the Adjust Next Number function, also found in the Utility
Menu, to reset automatic check numbering.
----Automatic Check Entry----
This selection presents you with a list of commonly paid items;
from it, you pick which one to pay.
To write checks automatically the data must be in the payments
file. There are two ways to create an entry. First by using the
Editor maintenance feature located in the utility menu. Second
by choosing Manual Check Entry. When finished entering basic
information the program will ask for data conformation. At this
point, you may elect to add this information to your payments
file.
If the list gets large and not all the entries are shown just
press the first character of your selection and the program will
highlight the first match found; press it again and the next one
will highlight. Or scroll through the list with the PgDn, PgUp,
up/down arrow keys or use a mouse on the scroll bar.
Page 8
---- Balance with Bank Statement. ----
First enter service charges, dividends, interest or any other
transactions not recorded. Then select balance with the bank. A
full screen of uncleared transactions will be shown. Highlight a
transaction and press enter to toggle its cleared or uncleared
state. Press PgDn to see if more uncleard transactions exist.
Continue until all statement items marked. Press escape when
finished.
Answering Yes at completion will compare the banks stated balance
against QUICK CHECK BOOK's adjusted balance. If the balance is
correct, a bank balance record is added to the check register on
the current system date.
If QUICK CHECK BOOK balances with the bank you then have the
opportunity to clear all last year's transactions and store them
in a separate file.
---- Enter A Deposit. ----
Deposits are made with this selection. There are various deposit
types; income, non-income, escrow and beginning. When entering
a deposit, you select whether it is an income or non-income
deposit. QUICK CHECK BOOK codes all deposit types for sort,
budget, and tax purposes.
---- Manaul Check Entry ----
This function allows the user to write a single check without the
use of the payments file. Answer questions as presented on the
screen. You will be able to do one of three things after data
entry: 1- Cancel, 2- Write check into register and write it, or
3- Add the current entry to the payment file and then use the
automatic check entry to write the check.
---- Non-Check Debit Entry ----
Enter deductions that do not require a check with this selection.
Examples of a Non-check debit entries are; Bank teller
withdrawals, Bank card deductions and Service charges. If there
is no regular payment entry to select from, then select "Add a
payable Record" at the end of the list of current payment items.
---- Quit And Return To DOS ----
Allows you to exit the program or load another checkbook.
Page 9
---- Utilities Menu ----
You have a choice of functions that make using this program easy.
---- Budget Item Status Report ----
Presents an accumulation of monies spent in budget categories
---- Adjust The Next Check Number ----
This will adjust check numbers used by QUICK CHECK BOOK on future
transactions. When prompted for the next check number, enter it,
then press the enter or return key.
After changing the next check number to use, the status message
will display a last check number of one fewer than the next check
number.
---- Transaction Summary Report ----
Allows you to report on or view the check register transactions.
You may choose to view all transactions or the last page of
transactions. If you choose an output route to a printer or
file, the last page is the last 55 transactions. If you choose
output to the screen, only a screen full of transactions will be
shown.
If you did not previously sort the transaction register, the
report will be in the same sequence as the transaction entry.
Sort the transaction register with the sort utility. You can
sort on any of the data fields.
NOTE: Sorting does not change the transaction sequence. The
sort is lost when you change the data or end the program. You
can resort the transaction file at any time.
---- Envelope Printer ----
This function allows you to print the envelope that you will mail
your check in. You can print a return address by itself. Print
your return address and choose an addressee from the payments
file, or manually enter the Name and Address of addressee.
Page 10
---- Data Backup ----
One never knows when something might happen to your data files.
It's a good idea to always keep at least one backup copy of your
data. Use this utility to backup your data every time you change
it. The routine will prompt you for a drive to backup on. Press
A or B. Insert your backup disk in the appropriate drive, then
press a key to start the action, or press Q to quit.
Remember, if you have backups.
"Nothing can go wrong."
"Nothing can go wrong."
"Nothing can go wrong."
---- Change Setup ----
This function loads and runs the install program allowing you to
change your configuration from within the program.
---- Escrow Account Maintenance ----
A unique feature that operates as a slush fund. Money is in the
account, but not shown in running balance. Especially useful for
putting small amounts away for real estate taxes or auto
insurance.
---- Check Register Maintenance ----
This selection will shell to the check register data base manager
routine, if you have enough memory and the data base program is
in the current directory. When in the data base editor, press
the F1 key for info on it's use.
If you delete a transaction or change the last balance, QUICK
CHECK BOOK will recalculate all transaction balances.
---- Payments file Maintenance ----
This selection will shell to the payments data base manager
routine, if you have enough memory and the data base program is
in the current directory. When in the data base editor, press
the F1 key for info on it's use.
---- Changing Check Number ----

Using QCB-DB from DOS
If you don't have adequate RAM or storage space to run the data
editor from within QCB. You can edit the check register or
payment files by following these instructions.
QCB-DB.EXE uses data files named QCB-LOG.DAT, for the check
register, and QCB-PAY.DAT, for the payments file. The user must
supply these files by copying your current check register
(YourFile.CHK) or current payments file (YourFile.PAY) to
QCB-LOG.DAT or QCB-PAY.DAT respectively.
This can be done by creating batch files that will copy and name
your files appropriately for use by QCB-DB.EXE. We suggest names
like ED-CHECK.BAT and ED-PAY.BAT. Refer to your DOS manual for
information on batch (.BAT) files.
These examples assume a two disk drive system. Your data is on a
floppy disk in drive B:, and QCB-DB.EXE is in Drive A:. You will
have to substitute the appropriate drive, path, and file names in
your files.
To generate ED-CHECK.BAT type in the following from the DOS
command line: ' comments, do not enter
A: <enter> ' log to drive a:
COPY CON ED-CHECK.BAT <enter> ' name file and type in
COPY B:YourFile.CHK QCB-LOG.DAT <enter> ' copy your check file
QCB-DB QCB-DB QCB-LOG <enter> ' run the editor
COPY QCB-LOG.DAT B:YourFile.CHK <enter> ' copy revised file
<F6> <enter> ' save the batch file
To generate ED-PAY.BAT type in the following from the DOS
command line: ' comments, do not enter
A: <enter> ' log to drive a:
COPY CON ED-PAY.BAT <enter> ' name file and type in
COPY B:YourFile.PAY QCB-PAY.DAT <enter> ' copy your payment file
QCB-DB QCB-DB QCB-PAY <enter> ' run the editor
COPY QCB-PAY.DAT B:YourFile.PAY <enter> ' copy revised file
<F6> <enter> ' save the batch file
To run the batch files type in ED-CHECK or ED-PAY followed by
enter.
If you don't use the batch file approach. Please be aware that
you must copy your ?.CHK or ?.PAY file to QCB-LOG.DAT or
QCB-PAY.DAT in the QCB-DB directory in order for the data base
manager to load them. Press the F1 key for instructions on how
to use the editor. When your finished editing your data you must
remember to copy the revised QCB-LOG.DAT or QCB-PAY.DAT back to
YourFile.CHK or YourFile.PAY.
Page 13
CUSTOMIZING YOUR CHECK AND REPORT FORMAT
Without a YourFile.CFD (check form definition) file or
YourFile.RFD (report form definition), Quick Check Book uses a
built in check and report format. To create your own you must be
able to create an American System Information Code second
revision text file. ( ASICII )
One easy and fast way to indentify whether a word processor can
produce an ASICII text file is to view a file it has already
created using the DOS TYPE command. Refer to your DOS manual
under the " TYPE " command for more information.
Let us say you have a file named YourFile.PRN, created by your
word processor or editor, do the following:
A:> TYPE YourFile.PRN
A:> TYPE YourFile.PRN >PRN
The first DOS TYPE command sends YourFile.PRN to the screen and
secound to the printer. If there are no recognizable characters
or other characters that you don't recognize as being part of
YourFile.PRN, then the file is not an ASICII text file. Check
your word processor manual for details on how to create an ASCII
file. Most word processors either create, or can convert to and
from ASICII text files.
If your word processor will not generate ASCII text, you can
still generate a check or report form definition file by using
the DOS "COPY CON" approach. Refer to your DOS manual.
Page 14
CHECK FORM DEFINITION
You can override the default check printing format by creating
your own. Your check form definition file must have the same
name as your check registers and have an extension of ".CFD". It
must also be in the same directory as your check register data
files.
Your bank offers tractor feed check forms that are easily handled
by most printers.
The number of lines in your check form definition combined with
the printers vertical line feed spacing determines the vertical
height of check form definition.
In this example we assume that your printer is set at 6 lines per
inch. So if your check form is 2 1/2 inches from top to bottom
your form should contain 15 lines (6+6+3).
If you understand your printer control codes, you may embed them
in quoted strings. This allows you to change the number of lines
per inch, print style, etc.
Each line counts whether it has data or not. Data for printing
must be in quotes (""). The number of spaces in front of an
identifier determines the horizontal position of a variable. A
line with two identifiers in it will have to consider the length
of it's preciding variables.
Identifier What it will print length of data
---------- ------------------ --------------
[CD Current computer date 10 charators
[M1 Top border of your address variable lenght
[M2 Your Name variable lenght
[M3 Your Address variable lenght
[M4 Your City , State and ZIP variable lenght
[M5 Bottom border of your address variable lenght
[CN Check number 5 charactors

REPORT FORM DEFINITION
Report form definitions are similar to the check form definitions
because they use the same variable identifiers and use the same
naming convention. But that is all that is similar. Report form
definitions must contain seven lines of information. The file
name extension must be ".RFD" instead of ".CFD".
The first line contains the printer set up. The second through
the fifth lines contain the reports heading information. The
sixth line contains the end of page action to be taken by the
printer. The seventh and last line contains a list of the
variables you want in the report. Here's an example report form
definition:
"printer setup control coding, in quotes"
" Sheet [PG of Checkbook transactions on [CD"
"Check Date of tran"
" no. transaction Paid to or By description Amomnt Balance no "
"===== ========== ============================= ========== =========== = ===="
"last line of page, should end with an ASCII charactor 12 for page feed"
"[CN [TD [PT[AM[BL [CM[TN"
CanCom Computing Company will provide custom report or check form
definitions to users for $10.00 plus expenses. We do require the
following information in order to do this for you. Make and
model number of your printer. A copy of one of your checks
showing what information you want on the check and where you want
it placed.
