This version added several new features that were requested by my customers, e.g., being able to correct from the search or list routines, in addition to the regular correct routine and a summary of the balances of up to 4 grants on one report, for those with multiple grants. Version 5.2 for WIN and MAC were released in September 1995. Grant Tracker Version 5 for the MAC was still in QuickBASIC, because Microsoft was supposed to release Visual Basic for the MAC in January 1994, but they didn't. The DOS and the WINDOWS versions of Grant Tracker looked and functioned the same, since they were both written in Visual Basic, and had a graphical user interface.
QUICKEN 98 FOR MAC SOFTWARE
Many of my customers who wanted to stay with DOS (it is a lot faster than WINDOWS), reluctantly had to leave DOS because their institution had added network software to their computer, and this used up most of the 640 K of conventional memory that was needed to run DOS programs. Not surprisingly, the majority of my DOS customers opted to move to the WINDOWS version. In 1994, Version 5 was released for WINDOWS, DOS, and MAC. This was followed in 1991 with Version 4, and in 1992 with Version 4.5. In January of 1989, Version 3 was released for the MACINTOSH as well as for DOS. The first copy sold was Version 1.8 in January 1987. Other people became interested in Grant Tracker as a way of solving their own grant accounting problems, so I decided to attempt to sell the program.
QUICKEN 98 FOR MAC HOW TO
This required that the user interface of Grant Tracker be very intuitive, and that the manual be very informative about basic accounting problems, e.g., how to handle Blanket Orders, how to handle students who work variable hours and months, how to reconcile the accounts in Grant Tracker with the monthly budget statement from the University, etc. A lot of improvements had to be made in Grant Tracker to accommodate the fact that some of the secretaries in the Division were not that comfortable with computers, and after all, they were secretaries and not accountants. Grant Tracker 1.0 was written in QuickBASIC, and was pretty crude by today's standards, but it did the minimal task of keeping track of our grants. When the IBM PC's came out, I decided to computerize the bookkeeping for our grants. Programming computers was a hobby of mine, starting in the late 1970's with the Sinclair, and later the Morrow computer. After several large overdrafts on our grants, the faculty in the Division of Radiation Biology took over the accounts of their own grants. In the "good old days", I had several NIH grants running at the same time, and a number of employees, postdocs and graduate students, but our Departmental Administrator couldn't administrate.
