 2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Account Express tracks and reconciles transactions 
   for credit cards, savings and checking accounts, 
   and lines of credit. Budget preparation is made 
   easy with the creation of user-defined income and 
   expense categories, and the recording of details 
   such as payees, income sources, and item 
   descriptions.

   To provide a financial overview, a versatile tree 
   structure allows easy selection of the display 
   format and desired level of detail for requested 
   information. Features include presentation of a 
   global cash flow picture, calculation of net 
   income over any given period, and reporting of 
   business related activities. The ability to create 
   post-dated transactions enables the forecasting of 
   one’s financial position into the future.

   Historical transactions that are no longer of 
   interest may be archived, so the user only browses 
   through current records. Important account 
   information can be centrally stored to facilitate 
   contact with financial institutions.

   Account Express will benefit anyone serious about 
   controlling their finances and planning their 
   budget. Intuitive to use, it provides context 
   sensitive help throughout, and includes a tutorial 
   to get the user off to a fast start. Running on 
   Windows 95, 98 and NT, Account Express costs only 
   $19.98 US for a single-user license.

 4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    NOTE: If you have a previous version of Account Express
    installed on your computer (registered or evaluation 
    copy), you should uninstall it before proceeding with 
    the installation of this new version. For instructions 
    on how to uninstall your current version of Account 
    Express, see 'UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS' in the ReadMe.txt 
    file for that version. Uninstalling Account Express 
    will not remove your working files. However, the list 
    of recent files will be initialized after the new 
    installation and you will need to open your most 
    recent file yourself the first time you start the 
    new version of Account Express.

    If you received this version of Account Express in a ZIP 
    file, you will need a zip file extracting utility such 
    as Winzip® to install the software. First, open the zip 
    file using the extracting utility. 

    If your extracting utility has an "Install" option, 
    select this option and follow the instructions. 

    If your extracting utility does not offer an "Install" 
    option, then extract the zip file to a temporary 
    directory of your choice, run the SETUP.EXE program from 
    that directory and follow the instructions. You should 
    delete the extracted files from the temporary directory
    once the installation is completed.

    If you received this version of Account Express in a 
    self-extracting file (a file with a "EXE" extension) 
    then run the file and select a destination of your 
    choice for the extraction of the installation files.
    From the directory where the installation files were
    extracted, run the "setup.exe" program and follow its 
    instructions. Once the installation is completed, 
    delete the installation files from the directory where
    they were extracted.

    If you received this version of Account Express on  
    floppy disks, please follow the instructions on the 
    first disk label.
