BalanceBook

BalanceBook is shareware, you can use the non-registered version indefinitely, however the program will have some limitations :

• Start-up delay.
• Maximum 80 entries.
• File export not available.

• Required files :
  • 'BalanceBook.zip' (this file).
  • PocketC Runtime from www.orbworks.com
• Install the PocketC Runtime following the directions of the installation program.
• Extract 'balancebook.app' and both sample files from the ZIP file.
• Copy 'balancebook.app' to any directory on your device using your desktop computers explorer.
• Copy both sample files to the \My Documents\ folder on your P/PC.
• 'BalanceBook.app' can be started by double tapping on it using your P/PC's explorer.
• If you wish you can also create a shortcut to the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder on the P/PC using your desktop computer's explorer.

Note:
Data files will be stored in the \My Documents\ folder so be sure this is on your device.

The first time you start BalanceBook you will have to make a new file using the button in the start-up screen, or you can open the sample file if you copied this to your device. Once you have done this you can start editing the account file. I suggest the first item of the file to be the initial account balance.
