Win95, Win98, Win NT and Mac with PC emulation.
For all platforms:
Upon download and extraction, PowerBudget files reside in C:\BUDGET60.

The shortcut file, PowerBudget v6.0.pif, is copied to C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP
and C:\WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS.
For WinNT, copy the shortcut, PowerBudget v6.0.pif to the appropriate
C:\WINNT directories.
Autoexec.bat and Config.sys ARE NOT CHANGED by PowerBudget installation.
To manually create a shortcut, refer to

To uninstall, delete the BUDGET60 directory and Shortcut icons listed above.
For Windows 3.x and DOS 3.x and higher...
Upon download and extraction, PowerBudget files reside in C:\BUDGET60.

Placing PowerBudget in another directory/folder.

then the Windows 95 PowerBudget Icon properties must be changed to

Additionally, the BUDGET.BAT must be edited. Use Wordpad to edit

PRINTING
PowerBudget defaults to
Network 0 in [F6] Utilities...User Preferences. This setting is the
most common for Win95/98/NT
However, various network or machine configurations may require the
Network type to be changed. If reports can be viewed using Viewer,
but are not printing using Printer, then set:
Network 2 is the 2nd most common setting.
If the machine is part of a Windows 95 peer to peer network sharing
a common printer, then choose Network 5 and enter the appropriate
Port Setting (see your shared printer icon properties).
Some Novell networks will require that the BUDGET.BAT in the BUDGET60
folder/directory be modified...insert the following at line 1:
F:\PUBLIC\CAPTURE ENDCAP
If reports are being printed to the printer, but have strange characters
instead of horizontal lines, then use the following procedure:
Download HP Remote Control Panel.
Create a new folder/directory called HPRCP and copy/drag the HPRCP.EXE
file into this new folder/directory.
In the HPRCP folder/dir, double-click on HPRCP.EXE and several files will
be extracted. Double-click on the RCP.EXE file and it will open to the HP
Remote Control Panel.
Under Category, click on TYPE. Note on the right side, 3 boxes. Typeface
should be COURIER, Pitch should be 10. The critical one is the Symbol
Set... it should be PC-8 (Code Page 437).
Click on SEND, then click on EXIT.
This will allow line display in PowerBudget reports.
