System Administrators:

PowerBudget v5.0 is 32-bit software that runs on DOS, Windows 3.x
and Windows 95. Windows NT is untested... no reported problems.

For Windows 95:
Upon download and extraction, PowerBudget files reside in C:\BUDGET50.

The shortcut file, PowerBudget v5.0.pif, is in C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP and 
C:\WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS.

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 BUDGET50 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:\BUDGET50.

Autoexec.bat and Config.sys ARE NOT CHANGED by PowerBudget installation.

To manually create a PowerBudget v5.0 PIF, refer to 
Windows 3x PIF

To uninstall, delete the BUDGET50 directory and PIF icons listed above.



Placing PowerBudget in another directory/folder.
If PowerBudget is installed in a directory other than C:\BUDGET50
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 \BUDGET50 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.
