                                       PocketMoney Quick Info**
                                       ======================


What does PocketMoney do?
-------------------------

	PocketMoney is an personal financial manager for the Newton. You can
setup savings, checking, credit card or loan accounts. Import and 
Export to your favorite desktop application (Quicken, MYM and more...)
	
	
Documentation
-------------

The Documentation is now shipped as a NewtonBook. More people are likely 
to be able to read this than any other type of file I include (other
than a plain text file). A plain text manual is now included with PM_APP.*



Upgrading to version 1.34
-------------------------

1. Remove the old PocketMoney:VtHick package
2. Install the new version.

That is all you need to do. If PocketMoney needs to update your old data it will
do so. You will not lose your data because it is stored in a soup which is
separate from the package.

You should also install version 2.1 of ScrollingDoPopup. 


FAQ
---
Q: If I have a registration code do I need to get a new one?
A: The registration code that I gave you will work with the current version of
PocketMoney. If you are a registered user PocketMoney will not asked for the
registration code again.


Supporting Software and Documentation

The Docs: (PM_Docs.sit)
  PM_Docs.pkg - the documentation in NewtonBook format.

The Xtras: (PM_Xtras.sit)

	the notepad so that you can quickly launch PocketMoney to add new
	withdraws, deposits, or transfers.

	you can have more categories than can fit on the screen. (THE VERSION INCLUDED
	IN PM_XTRAS IS NOT LONGER SUPPORTED IN VERSION 1.34 and greater of PM. Version
