Home Accounts



Home Accounts should be of use to virtually any reader of

Sinclair User. It is a comprehensive accounts system to

help manage the household budget, and was written by

Stephen Hancock of Stoke-on-Trent.

  There are three main facilities, monthly forecast, cash

expenditure and bank account. The monthly forecast works

in conjunction with the cas expenditure to set expenditure

against income. To use the monthly forecast move the cursor

with keys 6 and 7 to the desired item, and then press key 8

to alter the figures.

  To exit from the cash expenditure routine, use any key

except 0. The bank account section is independent of the

other two and can store details of up to 400 cheques. You

can increase this number by altering the first two DIM

statements in line 8 from 400 to the desired number, up to

about 1,350. [A note in next month's Sinclair User added

the following:] The bank statement section is there purely

for reference and will not be used by the monthly forecast.
