    This system will work on Windows XP/Vista
    This Mutual Fund system is comprised of the following programs:
      mutfdeny  -  enter data to the system
      mutfdmat  -  maintenance 
      mutfdscr  -  scrolls fund items on the screen
      mutfdsrt  -  sort the fund items
      mutualfx  -  fixes bad records
      mutfdprt  -  prints a list of the funds
 
    These programs should be put in a folder of your choosing.
    A good choice would be "mutualfd".
    The funds are sorted by fund name then YYMMDD.
    EX: Wellington, 20050130
    
    Any dollar amounts entered must fill the field. If the dollar amount is smaller than
    the space allocated then leading zeros must be entered. No decimal points should be
    entered in the dollar fields. The last two digits of a dollar field entered are
    implied decimal values. The SHARE field does not always have a value to enter in 
    the Mutfdmat program so enter zeros in the field.
    
    The print program works on an all-in-one HP printer. I do not have the facilities
    to test on other printers so be aware that it might NOT work. It does print on my
    printer using Windows XP Professional/Vista.
    This system could in a pinch keep records of stocks but that is not what it was
    designed to do.
    
    The normal procedure for using this system would be to enter x number of items 
    through the "mutfdent" program. Then run "mutfdsrt" to sort the items. Then run
    "mutfdscr" to look at what you have done on the screen. Errors can be fixed using
    the "mutfdmat" or the "mutualfx" programs. Personally I use the "mutfdmat" to fix
    my errors. Look for the bad record on the "mutfdscr" program and write down the
    Fund Name and date. This data can be used to redo the record with "mutfdmat"
    be entering the fund name and date.

    The Day, Month, Century/Year are NOT checked for a valid Day/Month/Year. It is 
    your responsibility to enter the correct values.
    
    To uninstall these programs just delete the folder that contains them. These programs
    do not affect any other programs.
