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.
