Basic Time Tracking And Billing For Lawyers

This program requires Windows 98 and a monitor resolution setting 
of 1024 x 768 or higher.

Installation:

The entire program is contained in a single file, TTB.EXE.  
I suggest that you copy this program to your desktop 
and run it from there. 

This program was written by an attorney to do monthly
billing statements and management reports for a small 
law firm.  It is designed for simplicity, but includes 
automatic trust account management, aging accounts, 
backup and restore data file operations, and other 
useful features. 

When you run the program for the first time, you will be asked 
to provide a location for the parent directory for your 
data files.  You will also be asked for the first invoice 
number to be used on your final billing statements.  The parent 
data directory and the backup data directory will both be 
named TTB DATA FILES.  It is recommended that you place the 
backup directory in the root directory or a first level 
sub-directory of a rewritable CD drive or a Zip drive.  
This will make it easier to restore your data from your 
backup files.

The best way to learn the program is to try it out.  It will 
let you know if you try to do something that needs to be done 
differently.

The program is "shareware."  It may be freely copied and 
distributed.  No charges, payments, or donations may
be imposed for any such copies, however made, and the 
program may not be distributed with other products 
(commercial or otherwise) or any charges imposed for 
any application or use of the program, without the author's 
written permission.
 
The registration fee for the program is $50.
