WarpDoctor Mtg March 30, 2003

There is a WarpDoctor chat meeting this Sunday, 30 March 2003 at 3:00 ET (20:00 GMT). Visit

http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc for timezone help.

Many of supporters of Webbnet have been working hard and long, and have rebuilt the network. To find the current list of Webbnet servers you, go to http://irc.fyrelizard.com/.

#warpdoctor can be found on any of these servers.

You can use any of those server addresses to initialize your IRC client, or alternatively, click on the link at the bottom of the page, and load a Java IRC applet. I have tried this applet, and it is remarkably quick, and simple to use.

If you are unfamiliar with the procedure of visiting a chatroom, there is a set of detailed instructions at http://www.warpdoctor.org/IRC_ChatProc.html.

Please read the agenda at http://www.warpdoctor.org/agendas/warpdoc_2003-03-30.html so you will be ready for the meeting.

Doug Leach will conduct a presentation/demo of InCharge financial management program for OS/2, a full-function personal & small business financial management system which is available from Spitfire Software.

There is complete feature equivalence, as well as data compatibility, between the two versions.

InCharge supports an unlimited number of sets of books, multiple currencies, multiple year budgeting, internet banking, and securities & brokerage account management. InCharge also contains a complete payables/receivables system which tracks bills & loans in real time. For small business, InCharge provides billing and invoicing as well as order entry and sales analysis.
Doug's presentation will cover the following items:
- Creation and setup up of sets of books
- Account management
- Creation & setup of typical bills & transactions we all deal with on a regular basis.
- Importing internet banking data.
- Setup and creation of invoices for customers.
