DebtMaster listings from Dreamcards for the Microbee - ChickenMan - 03-01-2025
DebtMaster was written by Lindsay Ford, of Dreamcards Software, unveils his comprehensive debtor management program for business applications. The program was published in Your Computer magazine over 7 editions starting in the November edition of 1986.
DebtMaster is written in Microworld BASIC, for single- or
twin-disk Microbee computers, but conversion for other machines
should not be difficult (see below). It lets you set up a debtor
accounting system with between one and five reminder accounts at
the intervals you choose. Reminders are printed automatically as
they fall due, and a paid bills ledger records payments or
cancelled or written-off accounts. At any time you can search for
a specific account, or for those in a specified category, or get
an overview of your business performance. A 300 Kbyte disk will
hold about 2000 accounts; a 760 Kbyte disk, about 5000. As most
small businesses have no more than a few hundred, this should be
more than enough. A feature of the program is its sophisticated
error checking — it is almost impossible to make a serious blunder.
There are the 7 listings extracted from YC magazines with some from my scans, issues from archive.org and some from other private collections. Their quality varies a bit but all have been OCRed but not perfect. So an ascii text can be extracted from each to turn them into runnable programs on the Microbee. There will be many O and 0, I and 1, ( and C, . and , etc that will need fixing. The text listings uses a small font, as a result the $ can be miss read also. I've had these files for awhile and started the conversion on a separate external hard drive on my PC but it died before I could back it up. I'm hoping someone else can take up the challenge as it sounds like a very useful program to be used even today for a small business.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee/Doumentation/Program_Listings folder we placed
