System Administrators:

PowerBudget v6.0 is 32-bit software that runs on DOS, OS/2, Windows 3.x, Win95, Win98, Win NT and Mac with PC emulation.

For all platforms:

Upon download and extraction, PowerBudget files reside in C:\BUDGET60.

For Win95 and Win98:

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 Windows 95 Shortcut 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. Autoexec.bat and Config.sys ARE NOT CHANGED by PowerBudget installation. To manually create a PowerBudget v6.0 PIF, refer to Windows 3x PIF. To uninstall, delete the BUDGET60 directory and PIF icons listed above.

Placing PowerBudget in another directory/folder.

If PowerBudget is installed in a directory other than C:\BUDGET60, then the Windows 95 PowerBudget Icon properties must be changed to reflect the new location. Change the Cmd and Working properties. Additionally, the BUDGET.BAT must be edited. Use Wordpad to edit the second line from \BUDGET60 to the new directory path. Finally, in the new directory or folder... copy the 3 data files: From EMPTYB.RB1, EMPTYB.RB2, EMPTYB.RB3. To BUDGET.RB1, BUDGET.RB2, BUDGET.RB3. If BUDGET.RB1,2 and 3 already exist, then do not overwrite them.
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.
