This program is designed to help you keep track of your finances. You can use it to input, amend, delete and enquire about cash credits and debits, including cheques and standing orders.

These details are presented on screen, rather like a bank statement, and if you have a printer available you can print your own hard copies. All details are saved as data file on cassette, so you can build up a library of different financial accounts.

My first impression was that this is a well-produced package. The documentation supplied was clearly printed and comprehensive. I had no difficulty loading the software from the cassette, which also had a sample data file to help the new user get to grips with the system quickly.

The program is driven by a framework of menus, from which you select the option you want. I found this system very easy to use. Each menu or display had clear instructions for input, and I rarely had to turn to the user manual. Incidentally, the manual also lists the line numbers and functions of the Basic routines used by the program, so there is scope for adding your own enhancements to the system.

The Personal Banking System is also available for the Spectrum.
