Short: New checkbook personal finances software Author: idd@pobox.com (David Orr/IDD) Uploader: idd@pobox.com Type: biz/misc Requires: AmigaDOS 2.x or better Distribution: Anywhere Pretium is a quality commercial personal finances software package available for the Amiga. It is designed to be as simple to use as writing in a checkbook, but advanced enough to take advantage of the power of the Amiga. This is a demo of Pretium, with most of the features of the complete commercial version. The demo doesn't allow check printing, report printing, or inputing/exporting of Quicken files. To record a transaction, such as a deposit or withdrawal from your checking account, simply enter the information the same way you would record the transaction in your checkbook. Pretium keeps track of the balance for you. If you want a clearer picture of where your money is going, you can have it print a report at the click of a button. Pretium supports categories and subcategories for transactions, allowing you to classify and organize your finances. Transactions are sorted by date and check number as quickly as they are entered. It also supports easy importing and exporting of files with Quicken and Microsoft Money. It also handles more than just checking accounts. You can use Pretium for keeping track of credit card charges and payments, savings accounts, petty cash funds, cash transactions, and more. In fact, you can work with any number of separate accounts on-screen at one time. The entire application was meticulously designed to be fast and easy to use. Calculations and screen displays occur almost instantly even on low end Amigas. Transactions may be entered one right after another. Pretium can also fill-in information from a previous transaction, matched by entering just the first few letters. Pretium also supports numorous dollar format notations, allowing it be used for the particular currency format of any country in the world. Pretium's preference settings also allow the user to change the screen size, font, and other aspects of the program. Pretium was originally developed under Intelligent Designs, Inc. (devloper of Ami-Back and Ami-Back Tools), but that company went out of business before it could be completed. Pretium's original developer, David Orr, took up the task of completing the Pretium project. It is now available through Innovative Digital Dyanamics. David Orr will continue to actively provide new upgrades and enhancements to Pretium. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 714 375 47.4% 14-Oct-96 01:38:14 +Acnt.My Checking 506 285 43.6% 14-Oct-96 01:38:14 +Acnt.My Savings 610 356 41.6% 14-Oct-96 01:38:16 +Acnt.VISA card 971 529 45.5% 14-Oct-96 01:38:14 +ThisAcntGroup.data 518 273 47.2% 14-Oct-96 11:02:18 Pretium.guide.info 434 108 75.1% 14-Oct-96 11:02:18 Pretium.info 30995 10423 66.3% 09-Jan-97 00:58:50 pretium.guide 189444 68790 63.6% 09-Jan-97 01:01:04 Pretium -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 224192 81139 63.8% 09-Jan-97 20:03:10 8 files
