Here are descriptions of two other Shareware programs produced by Gulf Sierra, PC-ACCOUNT and SHERLOCK. PC-ACCOUNT PC-ACCOUNT is a personal accounting system with data base retrieval capabilities. With it, you can discard your checkbook ledger. Its most unique feature is its ability to print on any personal check. Personal checks are usually not designed for the normal line spacing of 6 lines per inch. This program utilizes the variable line spacing of most printers to achieve the efficiency and accuracy of having your computer print on your checks. A utility lets you create formats for fifteen different checking accounts. The check is printed as soon as the transaction is completed. The amount is printed on the check in words. A directory is maintained of check payees and memo data to be printed on the check, such as its purpose or your account number with the payee. Payees are selected by number, and the name and memo are automatically transferred to the check. Searches can be made for all transactions against an account, for a user defined code, for an amount, for a text string within the comment, or for a check number. These searches can be made through any selected consecutive months, so a full years transactions in a specific category can be retrieved at tax time. Recurring transactions such as loan payments and cash distributions to accounts can be saved, edited and invoked on command for auto entry. There is a routine that can reconcile your bank statement swiftly. Another routine double checks the line by line totals in your checkbook. This system makes full use of the features of the IBM PC. All 10 function keys are used. Listings of accounts and transactions can be output to the screen, to the printer, to a disk text file, or to a file that can be imported by Lotus 1-2-3. This software works on the IBM PC/XT/AT with 256K of free memory and at least 1 double sided disk drive. It runs under PC DOS 2.0 and later versions. It is distributed on bulletin boards, CompuServe, and by Shareware disk vendors. It comes in three files: PCACT220.TXT, PCDOC220.EXE, and PCACT220.EXE. SHERLOCK SHERLOCK is designed to do one job, compare two ASCII files line by line. When they don't match, SHERLOCK raises a flag. At that point, you may scroll either or both files passed the mismatch to put them in sync and then continue. SHERLOCK contains features for searching, jumping around the files, restarting, and copying lines to a printer. SHERLOCK does not write to either file. SHERLOCK is designed as a tool for programmers, writers and workstation support personnel. It is best on files like program source files, AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and text documents. SHERLOCK displays five lines of each file in separate windows. The line from each file that is being compared is in the center of the window and highlighted. The line number of the center line is displayed in the upper left corner of the window frame. When they do not match, a message pops up between the windows. The top line of each window frame displays the number of the center line and the name of the file. At the end of this documentation is a page showing the SHERLOCK screen. Since it contains graphic lines, it may not print on your printer. View this on your computer screen. You may order a disk with the latest PC-ACCOUNT system and SHERLOCK from me.

It illustrates the two windows that contain the text being displayed and the list of functions available. Unfortunately, it doesn't show the yellow, brown, black, red and blue colors or the reverse video of this screen. The middle lines of the top two windows are highlighted. They are both line 356 in the respective documents. The flag between the windows indicate that these lines do not match. One line has the number with the value 66 and the other has 65.
