*** JUST WHAT IS WINCHECK ***
WinCheck is designed to manage any number of checking, savings, and credit
card accounts. Since WinCheck's initial release last year, it has
developed into a top-notch financial manager. WinCheck's features include
a Check Form Designer, to build check templates for printing on virtually
any pre-printed check form (dot matrix and laser checks are both supported).
The Custom Report Maker allows you to view and print a variety of supplied
reports, such as cash flow reports, or create custom reports tailored to your
own needs. With the Custom Report Maker, you can print an entertainment
expense report, a credit/deposit history, or all tax deductible transactions
for the year to date.
WinCheck's transaction classifications, or "categories," allow you to keep
track of the money earned and spent on categories such as Business and
Entertainment. WinCheck's budgeting facilities can be used in combination
with these categories to plan a monthly budget. Add reoccurring transactions
to a menu or have WinCheck remind you to make transactions such as mortgage
payments and paycheck deposits. WinCheck also supports Windows Dynamic Data
Exchange (DDE) and sports an internal batch language.
WinCheck offers an exceptionally attractive and intuitive user interface
featuring a Control Bar, Status Bar, iconic "Toolbox," and check registers
with adjustable column widths. Checks and other transactions appear as 3-D
dialog boxes with bitmapped backgrounds. Screen colors and fonts are fully
customizable. Standard operations, such as writing checks and making deposits,
may be performed by clicking on icons from the Control Bar.
The online help facility and intuitive user interface pretty much precludes
the need for a manual, although the 200 page, heavily illustrated manual
does further detail many of WinCheck's features with various examples.
To order computer checks call "Financial Registers" at the number below and
they will assist you. (There are sample checks and other forms in the
WinCheck box as well).

*** LATE-BREAKING NEWS ***
There are a number of TXT files containing bits and pieces of
documentation. They are:
README TXT This file
CHANGES TXT A list of the new features added
CORRECT TXT Corrections to the printed manual
HOW2-WCK TXT The beginners guide to WinCheck
BALANCE TXT How to reconcile your account with nifty new balance tool.
QUICKEN TXT How to import data using the QIF format
DDE TXT The WinCheck DDE specifications
This new 3.0 version has a variety of new features. They are:
a) Quicken import capability
b) Custom report generation
c) Color and font customization
d) Improved help files
e) Ability to print Landscape checks (with newer printer drivers)
f) Ability to handle multiple accounts
g) No limit on number of monthly transactions
Special new featues include:
a) New "Print Direct" feature for printing one check at a time to
Dot-Matrix style printers (no page eject).
b) Categories can now be classified as Income, Expense, or Both.
All of your categories from your current version will default to
"Both". You can modify these categories to specify income or
expense with the "Edit Categories" dialog. By indicating Income
or Expense, your budget reports will be more informational.
c) Categories can be classified as Tax deductible. When you enter a
new transaction, the "Tax Deductible" box will automatically check
when you select one of these categories. You can, however, still
un-check the box if you desire.
d) Expandability! WinCheck now allows you to add custom tools to your
menu. These tools use DDE to communicate with WinCheck. Two NEW
tools have been included, PAYROLL.EXE and BALANCE.EXE. Try them!
They are on the TOOLS menu.
All of the information you need for using WinCheck's DDE can be
found in the DDE.TXT file.
The source code to PAYROLL and the source code to a more simple
add-on tool (Visual Basic) have been included on the distribution
disk in the DDE_VB.ZIP file. Sample code for hardcore SDK tools
may be found in the DDE_SDK.ZIP file.
e) The categories for the Budget, Cash Flow, Profit/Loss, and category
reports are now in alphabetical order (instead of order of entry).
f) New pre-defined categories on startup of account or by running a
WinCheck command file.
*** HOW TO INSTALL WINCHECK ***
Use our SETUP.EXE program, which will copy the files for you and install
a WINCHECK group in the program manager with a TUT (Tutorial) account.
To use our SETUP.EXE program...
1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.
2) Then do ONE of the following:
A) From File Manager, locate then double click the SETUP.EXE
file in the directory you copies the files to:
OR
B) From Program Manager, pull down the FILE menu, and select the
RUN option. Enter the full path to the SETUP.EXE file, as in
"C:\XXX\SETUP.EXE"
and hit ENTER.
3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify initial directory,
or accept the given default (C:\WINCHECK).
4) When the next dialog box shows up, you can select what you want to
install. If there is any doubt, select everything by hitting the
"Add All" button.
5) Then push the INSTALL button to install WinCheck.
6) When the setup process is complete, you may delete the temporary
directory you created in the first step.
*** INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY SUPPORT ***
This version of WinCheck support non-US currencies much better
than previous versions. WinCheck will support only 1 type of
currency. To let WinCheck know what kind of currency you use,
do the following:
1) Start Control Panel. Get to the "International" section.
Find the "Currency" area. Make sure all the information
there is correcy.
2) Edit your WIN.INI file. Find the [intl] section.
Add the following lines into the [intl] section.
(assuming your currency names are Pounds and pence -
make changes accordingly)
[intl]
sMajorCurrName=Pounds
sMinorCurrName=pence
That should do it. There may still be a few dollar signs here and
there, but we are working on it.
*** PRINTING PROBLEMS? ***
Refer to the On-Line Help topic "Printing Checks" for help with
printing checks to a Dot Matrix Printer.
Most printer drivers have special features that take added
advantage of the Windows 3.0 environment. WinCheck assumes
that you have one of these drivers installed. Some older
printer drivers, and current versions of some font packages
(Bitstream Facelift) do not support these features.
If WinCheck does not print properly on your system, add the
following line to the [WiChk14a] section of your WIN.INI file:
NODEVMODE=1
This line will cause WinCheck to bypass the special printer
driver features that cause the problems. Note: You will not
be able to print landscape checks if you use the NODEVMODE=1
option.
