Information about “SWAP SHOP & CASHFLOW”
CASHFLOW is an integrated, menu-driven, practical budgeting tool that
can simplify home record-keeping by calculating checks and balancing
the checkbook.
You can hold back checks that you've written until Payday gets here.
CASHFLOW won't write checks for you but will track and calculate the
ones that you write. It will tell you what your bills are averaging
and what percentage of your money goes for insurance, transportation,
entertainment, etc.
SWAP SHOP is a collection of various programs used for swapping printer
and communication port addresses electronically. No more resetting
mechanical switches. Documentation and Assembly source code are
included.

page 1 of 5 GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO CASHFLOW
CASHFLOW is a practical budgeting-checkbook tool for the average PC user.
It is a human engineered application program which simplifies family
record keeping by computerizing the recording of checks and the balancing of
the checkbook; and rewards the user after very little data input with knowledge
of current cash available, and a realistic forecast of future cash positions.
CASHFLOW is a flexible, functional, integrated checkbook program that
Helps you to get through the month without bouncing a check.
Allows you to hold back some checks that you have written until pay day.
Allows you to include some bills (or deposits) that you haven't yet paid
(or made) into your current cash position.
Tells you what your bills are averaging and what percentage of your cash
goes for insurance, transportation, entertainment, etc.
Tells you how much you could live on as a minimum if you had to.
CASHFLOW is very easy to use
page 2 of 5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CASHFLOW is menu driven. Make a selection from the screen menu,
and type, or type and enter it, with the carriage return key as prompted.
You may retreat from all selected modules by pressing the carriage return.
When you are asked a yes or no question, the carriage return key
will serve for no, and yes should be indicated by a ' Y ' or ' y '.
If you page through the menus by repeatedly pressing the carriage
return you will eventually be asked if you want to leave the program. A ' Y '
or ' y ' answer will end the session, saving all new data. Both the budget
setup and checkbook utility menus offer a leave without saving option.
This program was written for the IBM PC. (or compatible) The date
should be set before starting the program. Files used by CASHFLOW are
CASHFLOW.EXE 199?BUD.DAT 199?CKBK.DAT 199?PAY.DAT 199?CSF.DAT
CASHFLOW.EXE will create empty *.DAT data files if they are not present.
Empty data files require 11997 bytes of disk space, and will expand to
approximately 60000 bytes after one years use. To avoid a re-setup of
your budget records you may rename 1990BUD.DAT to 1991BUD.DAT in 1991.
page 3 of 5 BRIEF DESCRIPTION
For ease of handling on screen, budgets are divided into 4 parts
1. Obligatory, mandatory bills - rent, utilities, & installment payments etc.
2. Miscellaneous, random bills - car maintenance, entertainment & taxes etc.
3. Groceries, an entry for each week of the month is provided.
4. Input, deposits on a weekly basis are also provided.
There are two main menus, one for budgeting, and one for recording
checks. Both menus access the same budget data but amounts for which checks or
a check has been written are marked with an *. If you haven't received your
gas bill but want to include it in your current cash position summation then
you would use the budget menu to enter a guess at the amount and correct it
later before you record the check from the checkbook menu. If a payment is to
be different from average, or zero, enter in budget to correct prediction.
CASHFLOW displays your current 'cash ' position in several ways
A checkbook balance, and that balance as adjusted by budget entries.
A monthly net so far, and the last reconciled bank statement amount.
A prediction of your cash position at the end of the month.
The cashflow chart shows your current checkbook & budget balance as adjusted
by checks written but not yet sent.
page 4 of 5 BRIEF DESCRIPTION, CONTINUED
Each of the main menus offers a special utility menu.
The BUDGET utility menu provides routines for customizing the program to
your own check or budget categories and for setting or adjusting the current
averages for those categories. It also provides access to a printout menu,
a budget analysis screen, a routine which allows payment amounts to be
fixed or unfixed for convenience, and an end of year forecast routine.
The CHECKBOOK utility menu provides routines to view checks by various
categories, and a module for editing any check already recorded. It also
provides a quick summary of tax deductible checks by code and total.
A unique monthly cashflow chart is accessible from both menus. This
chart displays up to 15 preselected bills and their due dates. The chart
automatically shows if a check has been written, and notes it to be either
not sent or late until you indicate that it is sent. Beneath the chart the
program lists the checkbook balance and budget adjusted balance, each
corrected by the total amount of checks written but not yet sent.
The screens viewed are always set for a specific month which may be
changed at any time. CASHFLOW remembers which month was looked at last.
page 5 of 5 GETTING STARTED
Browse through the various menus to get a feel for what is
there. Remember you can always get back to the main menu by pressing the
carriage return. The following start-up routine is suggested
1. Selection 8 of the budget utility menu is a hardcopy print out menu.
Make copies of the reports and study in particular the monthly status.
Use this report to make a list of the record titles you want to setup. A
record may be the title of a single repeating bill or a general category.
2. Input your customized record titles using selection 3 of the budget
utility menu. Fill in the codes as prompted. Then set your best guess of
the averages for these records one at a time using selection 5.
3. If you are starting in the middle of the year, use last months checkbook
balance as the carryover from last year (this can be entered at the first
prompt anytime the program starts up). Also enter your outstanding checks in
that month. All check data including the amount may be edited after input.
4. Select and enter the records (and due dates) you want on the cashflow
chart. (During set up don't confuse item number with record number.)
The chart allows five days for postage.

Program to swap LPT ports 1, 2, and 3
Copyright (C) 1987 by Dale Botkin
To use SWAPLPT.COM, simply type in SWAPLPT/xx, substituting 1, 2, or 3
for xx in the following manner:
To swap ports 1 & 2: SWAPLPT/12
To swap ports 2 & 3: SWAPLPT/23
To swap ports 1 & 3: SWAPLPT/13
After SWAPLPT is run, the port reassignment will remain until re-boot
or until SWAPLPT is run again.

SWLPT12.COM will, when run, swap the base addresses for LPT1: and
LPT2:. Any output sent by the system to one will be redirected to
the other. To restore the ports to their original addresses, simply
run SWLPT12 again.
SWCOM12.COM performs the exact same operation, with the exact same
result, on the serial ports COM1: and COM2:.
