IDIOT's Budget README
The Idiot's Budget Program
id95dem.zip March 18,1999
shareware 14 days


This is a simplified budget program for use at home, for those who just
want to plan how to spend the paycheck.  You can make a second copy of
the budget and use that as a spendown journal, changing and removing
items, while keeping the original intact.  Prints and saves your files.
Also comes with some "Pfun Pfeatures" like a "Screenwaster" of a blimp
flying random courses across a changing sky, flashing the time on its
billboard... a slideshow to which registered users can add their own
images, a small file window to open paint or notepad files, and access
to the windows calculator.

To install:

To save server space, the Visual Basic Runtime files have not been 
included.  They are freely available.  You can get them from the 
company website at 

http://www.wizardofodd.com/wizdl.htm


or just go to 

  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/simtelnet/win95/dll/

(you can probably get there with your browser) and download the file
or get a VB4 32 bit runtime from AOL 
  vb40032a.zip 

unzip it and run the executable inside, 

vb40032a.exe 

Then after the VB files are installed simply unzip

 id95demo.zip

to a single directory and run setup.exe to install.

For uninstall:
A program called "notthis.exe" is provided.  First go to
Start > Setup > Control Panel >Add/Remove programs and click "IDIOT" in
the list of files there.  Click the Add/Remove button.  Do not be upset
if Windows says it can't remove all the files.  Some were not created 
until after the install, so windows doesn't know how to remove them! In
fact you may choose not to remove the VB Runtime files if it asks you.

After that you just find "notthis.exe" (after first run, it will be in 
windows/system directory) and run it.  It will remove the registry and 
remaining files.  Rebooting is suggested, and "notthis.exe" can be 
deleted if you wish, though it will do no harm.

The Idiot's Budget is written in Visual Basic and is shareware for 14 
days.  It can be freely distributed in its original, unlicensed 
shareware file (id95dem.zip).  It must be removed or purchased after
the trial.  The budget program is not limited during the trial, but
unregistered users cannot customize the images in the 
"Bearly Slideshow".
