There are two built in programs EADBF.EXE and EAUDT.EXE, which are used to convert your data from Release I to Release II. Suppose your Release I data file is in directory C:\DATA92. To convert it into Release II data file you have to do following: -

  • Install the new data directory of Release II. See the option below of how to install a new data directory for the first time
  • Suppose the new directory you have installed is C:\DATA92II for Release II then you will convert as under: -

    C:\EAP2\EADBF C:\DATA92II (the above command will start converting temporary files named TEMP1.DBF & TEMP3.DBF in second directory C:\DATA92II) Now after completion of this type C:\EAP2\EAUDT (This will ask you the range of date, give the date of which data is to be picked up, always give the accounting year as date for example 01/01/91 to 31/12/91)

    This will complete conversion you can now start package. Please follow these steps to Install and Operate the programs. You have one company, whose blank data files are zipped and sent to you under the following filename on the attached diskette: -

    EAPDF.EXE (Blank data Files) Similarly, there is one program disk, which contains various programs for your operation. EAPDISK1.EXE (Contains EAP.EXE the main Accounting Packages and VEREAP.EXE the verification program you run in case of power failure, etc) EAPDISK2.EXE (Contain various utility programs like REVEALN.COM for revealing the 8 words registration number SETACTYR.CON for setting up accounting year) EAPDEMO.EXE (Contains Demonstration program which you run until you receive hardware definition file from us. The instruction regarding this is enclosed). Now these are the step-by-step instruction for your reference and implementation.

The program files in EAPDISK1.EXE and EAPDISK2.EXE should be installed in the directory named EAP as under: - MD\EAP CD\EAP COPY A:\PK*.* A:\EAPDISK1 A:\EAPDISK2 A:\EAPDEMO

For each one of your companies, you will have to make year wise directory and install blank files in it and then copy station files in it for operating it on all the computers as follows: -

  • MD\9798               (Create data directory for the year 9798
  • CD\9798
  • A:\EAPDF                 (This will install blank data files)
  • COPY A:\PW4*.*        (Copy THIS when you receive from us)
  • C:\EAP\SETACTYR      (use this to set accounting year for the data directory)

To operate in any one of the above data directories you take following steps: -

  • CD/9798               (go to the data directory by Change Directory command)
  • C:\EAP\EAP (Start the program by typing the full path and program file name)
  • In case you have not received from us the Hardware Definition files PW4.DBF, then you can run DEMO program as under: -
    • CD/9798
    • C:EAP\EADEMO

To operate in any one of the above data directories you take following steps

  • CD\9798               (go to the data directory by Change Directory command)
  • C:\EAP\VEREAP (Start the program by typing the full path and program file name)

To make backup of your data directories on Floppy Disk following steps are to be followed Remember to use for each company and each year use at least six diskettes labeled as MONDAY, TUESDAY…SATURDAY

  1. Put the DISKETT OF THE DAY in your Floppy drive
  2. Type following commands to make the backup
    • C:\EAP\PKZIP -& A:\DatadirectoryName
    • C:\DatadirectoryName\*.*
      HERE CHANGE THE DATADIRECTORY NAME WITH THE ACTUAL NAME LIKE C:\EAP\PKZIP -& A:\9798 C:\9798\*.*

Whenever you hardware is changed or machine is changed the new station file will also be required which you can get from us by taking out 8 words registration number by running REVEALN program on your computer.

The Electronic Accountant comes with the utility DEFPW.EXE, which allows the user to set his own passwords for operating the package. The user can define upto three passwords for levels A,B and C.

The level A password allows the user to do add new entries and allows its editing and modification. Once the entries have been saved, it cannot be edited or modified. Only the last page/date or data entry is allowed modification for correction of any data entry mistakes. As soon as data is entered in the next date, the previous date entry is protected.

The level C Password allows the user to only see the data; no modification or data entry is allowed if the package is started with this level of password.

To define the three levels of passwords, you simply go into the data directory and operate the program DEFPW.EXE. for example, your data directory is DATA92 and your EAP package is installed in EAP directory, you will type following commands to operate the package:- CD\DATA92 C:\EAP\DEFPW

The DEFPW first ask you the password. Here you give the level A password, which you have set through DEFPW when it was use last. If you are using it for the first time, press ENTER key

The Electronic Accounting package will start only with the password set through this utility. If no passwords are set , the ENTER key is assumed to be the password.

Whenever you type passwords while accessing EAP.EXE or DEFPW.EXE file, you cannot see the characters you type for security reasons. As soon as press ENTER key, it accepts the characters you typed before pressing ENTER as password.

Any Twelve-keyboard characters can be set as password. Remember the password is not only case sensitive, but also all the control code characters sensitive.

Remember also that you are not allowed to modify or edit data of any date for which editing is restricted by the DEFDATE.EXE utility even if the package is started by level A password

The Electronic Accounting Package allows security of date by restricting the editing by a define date. There are two date entry formats one is Single Entry system that is Cash and Bank Book and other is Double Entry system that is General Journal

The user can restrict editing or modification by defining the dates for both the books separately through a utility “DEFDATE.EXE”

To define the date for restricting date modification simply go into the date directory and operate the program DEFDATE.EXE. for Example, your data directory is DATE92 and your EAP package is installed in EAP directory, you will type following commands to operate the package: - CD\DATA92 C:\EAP\DEFDATE

The DEFDATE first ask you the password. Here you give the level. A password, which you have set through DEFPW when it was used last. If you are using it for the first time, then press ENTER key Access will not be allowed if any key other than the password set a Level A is typed. Once access is allowed, the program will show you the current date, which is set for Cash and Bank Book and general Journal. You can modify and change this date as per your choice.

Pressing of F1 key will show you details of the dates previously set and when was it changed and who changed it.

At any time, if the user quits the Electronic Accountant package incorrectly, for example, while entering data power goes off or the user puts the power off accidentally, there is every possibility of data lose. There is a built in protection system in the package, which will shows you that the last time when the package was used it was not quitted properly and prompt you to use VEREAP package.

The VEREAP program checks all the data, verifies all the balances and postings in the ledger. The user can use this package to verify the integrity of this data

To operate the program, simply go into the data directory and operate the program VEREAP.EXE. For example, your data directory is DATA92 and your EAP package is installed in EAP directory, you will type following commands to operate the package: - CD\DATA92 C:\EAP\VEREAP

Electronic Accounting requires for each machine a hardware definition file named PW4.DBF. Every machine has a unique definition of hardware, which is stored in this file, and therefore a program copied from one machine will not run on another machine until you will have a registered hardware definition file

The procedures for GETTING the hardware definition file from us INSTALLING it on your computer and RUNNING the program till the hardware definition file is not installed are described below: -

  • Getting the Hardware Definition File Once your CONFIG.SYS file and AUTOEXEC.BAT is installed run the program RE VALN.COM as under: - CD\EAP REVEALN
  • Installation of Hardware Definition File The PW4.DBF file received from us should be installed as under on your computer: - To use as Station 0 C: CD/ COPY A:/PW4.DBF To use as Station 1 to 9 C: CD\datadirectory (Go into the data directory) COPY A:\PW4.DBF PW401.DBF (Copy the file in data directory with the desired station no.such as pw401.dbf… PW499.DBF)
  • Running The Program without Station File We have a demo program EAPDEMO.EXE you can run this instead of EAP.EXE until you receive the hardware definition file as under: - CD\datadirectory C:\EAP\EAPDEMO (Please ensure to copy this file from drive a first)

To operate the program, simply go into the data directory and operate the program VEREAP.EXE. For example, your data directory is DATA92 and your EAP package is installed in EAP directory, you will type following commands to operate the package: - CD\DATA92 C:\EAP\VEREAP

The Electronic Accounting Package can be operated on networking environment simultaneously by all the users. Following are the requirements: -

  1. Give all your machine including the main Server a Station number 1, 2, 3, etc
  2. Get protection files PW4.DBF for all the machines on which the package is to be used
  3. Rename protection files PW4.DBF by adding station number to it. For example PW4.DBF of station 1 should be renamed as PW401.DBF, of station 2 should renamed as PW402 and so on
  4. Copy all the protection files renamed as above (PW401.DBF,etc) into the data directory
  5. Start the Electronic Accounting package with the Station No. for example your data is DATA92 directory, the package is in EAP directory and the Station No. is 2 then you will type CD\DATA92 C:\EAP\EAP2 Similarly use it for VEREAP.EXE program under: - CD\DATA92 C:\VEREAP

The user can modify or make batch files for each of his station separately for easy operation.

This option shows you the current default values for the following things: -


  1. SCREEN COLORS

    This option sets the colours of screen as per the user’s choice; there are three types of colours that can be set for the EAP screens.

  2. SERIAL NUMBER FOR AUTOMATIC NUMBERING

    This option allows you to set the last number of your Receipt Voucher, Payment Voucher, and Journal Voucher. The automatic voucher numbering is done by adding one to the number set here. Every new voucher number is automatically updated here so at any time you can see what was your last Receipt, Payment or Journal Voucher number.

    If no voucher numbers are set in the Cash Book columns of RV and PV, then only the Receipt and Payment Voucher numbers are generated from here. Otherwise, it is generated from the number see in RV and PV columns. This way, the user can set different number series for different Cash Book columns.


  3. RESTRICTING DATA MODIFICATION BY DATES

    This option shows you the current dates upto which data is restricted for modification. To change this date refer option SECURING THE DATA BY DATE.


The user can modify or make batch files for each of his station separately for easy operation.

Your system must have CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT on the Hard Disk drive C.If any of the above files does not exist then create it by a Word Star non-document file of DOS COPY command. These files must be modified to have following commands: -


  1. In CONFIG.SYS file:-

    BUFFERS-32
    FILES=56

  2. In AUTOEXEC.BAT file:-

    PROMPT$P$G
    SET PATH=C:DOS;C:\EAP;
    SET CLIPPER=F:48

After modifying /creating above two files CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT restart the machine. Now verify that you have typed above commands correctly by typing SET. It will display the following:-

  1. COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM
    PATH C:\DOS;C:\EAP;
    CLIPPER=F:48
