 Electronic Teller is an attractive, easy-to-use financial application  geared to those who need an OS/2-specific set of utilities to track bank, credit card, cash, asset, and liability accounts.  For users who manage accounts for various individuals, Electronic Teller offers multi-user support, essentially a firewall to shield accounts contained in one "portfolio" from those in another.

Among its many support utilities, you can expect to find

- a calculator;
- single or perpetual reminders for fiscal or social events;
- a truly configurable cheque printer -- simply drag standard
  cheque fields to millimeter-specific locations;
- a wide assortment of reports with summary and subtotalling
  options;
- category tracking and graphs;
- yearly or perpetual budget tracking and graphs;
- transaction fee or service charge tracking;
- QIF import / exports;
- international currency support on a per-transaction or
  account basis;
- international language support, which currently includes
  French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, UK, and US English;
- a convenient backup / restore utility that can be configured
  to make use of InfoZip's (c) similarly-named utilities to
  conserve media space further.

Electronic Teller strives to take the pain out of managing finances, and key to this is organization.  Accounts, therefore, are displayed in ledgers with transactions
grouped by year.  Reconciliation, too, is made easy:  either use the dedicated window or clear transactions directly from within the ledger.

The only way to appreciate fully the advantages of Electronic Teller is to download the fully functional version and to make use of the  30-day trial period.  You are guaranteed not to be greeted by nag screens or gentle reminders to register, but there is a 200  transaction limitation which does not include imported records.

New in this release:

o  Graphs utility was miscalculating expenses. o  It is now
possible to exclude linked and/or split transactions from
Graphs.  Note that including links does not add the totalof
the linked transaction to the graph if the linked account is
also included in the graph.

o  Graphs utility uses the category type to determine the
transaction type when viewing codes, descriptions, or
classes.  Previously any of these three views would look at
the amount of the transaction and type of account to
determine the transaction type.  In short, regardless of the
view, the top, Summary, graph should remain unchanged for
all of the four possible graphs.

o  It is now possible / mandatory to select the transaction
items that are to be used to plot a Transactions graph
since, as before, ET will limit the number of items to 100.
Previous versions, however, defaulted to the first 100 items
to the exclusion of the rest.

o  Added an additional menu item to the Item menu structure
of the Graphs utility to select the items to be included in
a Transactions graph.  This menu item is enabled only if the
Transactions graph is being viewed (as opposed to the
Transactions list).

o  Graphs would ignore the type of the second of two
identically named categories bearing different types. o When
zooming in on Graph items, all but the zoomed transactions
in the Transaction List will be hidden.

o  Left-clicking on a Summary graph bar while zooming in on
particular items will not display those items for the
relevant month.

o  Yearly Usage expense amounts are no longer negative. o
Dialog that asks if a new category is an income or liability
category now set as the default the Yes or No button in
accordance with what ET anticipates will be the correct
answer.

o  It is now possible to click or double-click beyond the
icon or Item container record in the Graphs Utility to
select an item or to view its Yearly Usage.

o  Account Book will now place any pages greater than
current year at the beginning of the book, e.g. 1999  1998
1997  1996  2001 2000.  This will ensure that the current
year is always displayed as the top page on startup.

o  A new function has been added that will display a
deduction of uncashed cheques from an Account Book's ending
balance to help when a discrepancy exists between a stated
balance (by the bank) and a reported balance (by ET).  New
function is located in Book -> Ending balance -> Adjust...

o  Account Book's Book -> Recalculate menu item has been
moved to Book -> Ending balance -> Reculculate... to
accommodate the new Book -> Ending balance -> Adjust...
function described above.

o  It is now possible to specify the number of months that
are to be included in Graphs, from one to 13.

o  Budget Graphs have been incorporated as a subset of
Category Graphs. o  Budget creation / editing has been moved
from the Settings notebook to the Budget Graphs window.

o  When viewing the Yearly Usage for an expense item in the
Graphs utility, that expense is also compared to the total
income in addition to the total expenses, thereby providing
an expense's percentage to both income and expense totals.

o  The '12 Months' and '13 Months' radio buttons in the
Summary window of the Graphs utility have been removed since
it is now possible to specify the number of months that are
to be plotted in a graph. o Account Book would stall and
generate a SYS3175 violation if there were no transactions
in the account.

o  It is now possible to view an updated budget via the
Transaction dialog. o Postdated transactions are now
included in a *forecasted* running balance.

o  An alternative cheque designer is now supplied for those
who experience problems with the original cheque designer /
printer. o  I *think* I may have corrected a sporadic
problem of SYS* violations when using certain utilities. For
example, the Splits dialog would sometimes result in a
violation.
