Product Review:
Managing Your Money
by Ron Faulkner

Occasionally, getting out of rush hour traffic and off the
freeways and getting on a well traveled secondary road can bring
great relief and rewards that the folks living in the fast lane
do not receive!  Early this year, I got tired of the frustration
of driving in the heavy traffic of my old and very popular
financial program  and tried a financial program that I had first
heard of years ago.  To my amazement it was fairly easy to learn
and fairly clean to make the voice work with.  Managing Your
Money by Andrew Tobias and MECA Software has been a very pleasant
switch for me.  Perhaps because the author at least makes you
think that he is not a computer whiz, either, like many of the
rest of us.

The first time you run the program, it comes up with a helpful
tutor that gets you started in setting up an account.  It is not
very long and you start with an introductory screen containing
your name, today's date and generally, an interesting quote which
constantly changes each time that you use the program.  Next, is
the main screen with the menu bar across the top and a status
line at the bottom and the part of the program where you decide
whether you are receiving money, spending money, reconciling an
account or other things relating to money accounts.  The left and
right arrow keys take you to the different sections of the
program and the up and down arrow keys make various selections
within each section of the program.  Once you make your decision,
pressing the F10 key brings up the next screen.  The use of the
F10 key is not difficult to adjust to and you can change it if
necessary.  The tab, shift - tab, and return keys most often move
you through the areas or fields that need to be filled in or the
various selections.  Once in one of these sections of the program
you generally have to back up to get to other parts of the
program.  However, where it is important and convenient to cross
reference, the manufacturer has taken great care to make that
information available.  As an example, the calculator is
available in almost every part of the program.

The money section of the program not only allows the tracking of
your finances in checking, savings, and money markets, but allows
you to print checks, set up a budget, monitor your progress, and
establish an alert list for future and recurring transactions.

The tax section keeps track of tax deductible items as you
categorize your spending in the money section so that at any time
you can look at your tax status and play "what if."  This section
also exports data to popular tax preparation programs.

There is an insurance section which not only helps in
understanding how much insurance you might need, but keeps track
of house, car, life, and other insurance for you.

The investment section will keep track of stocks, bonds, mutual
funds, property, and just about any other investment that you
have.  It will also automatically update the prices of equities
through CompuServ and Prodigy when properly set.

Data from other financial programs such as the popular Quicken
and others can be easily imported in the "File" section.  Other
user files can be created, data exported and other options are
also available in this section.

The F1 key sets up a help screen that essentially covers the
whole screen which I like very much.  The help is appropriate,
consistently in the same place on the screen, and generally
expresses the pleasant humor of the author.  Independent of the
help screen there is a whole help section.

Last but indeed not least is a section which will keep track of
appointments, phone calls, reminders, and includes a card file
which not only keeps addresses and phone numbers but allows for
reminders of birthdays and anniversaries for those of us with
poor memories!  From the card file, you can write letters and
print envelopes.  A small word processor is also available.

There are many other facets of the program that I have neither
mentioned nor covered.  This program is quite obviously designed
to help an individual or the family keep account of almost every
type of assets and records and does a nice job of it.  The
program is competitively priced and available most every where
and can be ordered through their 1-800-820-7458 MECA number.  If
you have a financial program that you are content with, I would
not recommend that you change, but if you are tired of pop up
windows everywhere and other inconsistencies or if you are
contemplating buying a multi-use program I can recommend Managing
Your Money Version 10 very highly.  The program is improved every
year and Version 11 should be out soon.

Note:  This article was first published in the January  issue of
the Voice of Vision.  Since that time, Managing Your Money
version 11 has been released and Ron Faulkner has sent us new
.SET files for this program.

NiCad Batteries - a personal testimony
by Dan Weirich

Many adaptive devices use NiCads for their power.  I've read more
than one article regarding NiCad batteries and I don't want to
plagiarize or be repetitive.  However, there still seems to be
some confusion regarding the charging of NiCad batteries and this
article is written to eliminate some of the confusion.

NiCad batteries have two lives.  When discussing NiCads you must
explain which life you are talking about.  The first life is,
"How long will the batteries deliver power to my device before
going dead?"  The second life is, "How long before they must be
replaced?"

The answer to the first question is dependant upon the batteries
and the device they are powering.   Batteries are rated in
milliamp hours.  This rating is power delivered multiplied by
hours.  An analogy to this rating would be - my body can run one
mile in eight minutes or eight body-minutes.  Therefore
(theoretically) I should also be able to run one-half mile in
four minutes or even fifty miles in 400 minutes.  As a matter of
fact, I cannot run fifty miles but the point is this - milliamp
hours are almost linear.  If your device uses twice as much power
as my device, my device will last twice as long as your device on
a full charge if we both use the same batteries.  Other factors
such as temperature are also important but I'm not getting into
all the possible factors.

What this all boils down to is this - if you are buying NiCad
batteries from a store, you should find out what the milliamp
hour rating is for the batteries.  Bargain batteries may not be
such a bargain if their milliamp hour rating is low.  I just
opened a battery catalog and can find double A batteries rated
anywhere from 650 to 800 milliamp hours.  If you draw 800
milliamps from 800 milliamp hour batteries, your device will run
for one hour.  If you draw 400 milliamps from the same batteries
your device will run for two hours, and so on.  In case you
wondered, Speak-Out uses 800 milliamp hour batteries.

To make this more confusing, NiCad batteries have a memory.  If
the batteries in your device are capable of running eight hours
on a full charge but you repeatedly stop the device after four
hours and then recharge the batteries, after a while your
batteries will only be capable of delivering power for four
hours.  NiCads "remember" how much is asked of them.  The best
way to use NiCads is to always run them all the way down followed
by a full recharging.  By the way, this memory problem is
temporary.  Repeatedly fully charging and discharging will bring
the battery back to its maximum capacity after a period of time.

Another factor is age.  The milliamp hour rating is for new
batteries.  As time passes the capacity will decrease. 
Fortunately, modern NiCads keep most of their capacity until just
before they fail.  Once the capacity starts to decrease, it's
time to buy new batteries.  Just like my body and running - age
matters.

The second life is related to the number of recharges.  NiCads
can typically be recharged a few hundred times (200 to 500).  No
one will tie this number down because it is totally dependant on
the user, the device, and the environment it's stored and used
in.  It's analogous to two drivers - the first driver slows the
car gradually when coming to a stop sign and the second driver
continues at full speed until the last moment and then slams on
the brakes.  The second driver will have to change the brakes
sooner.  If you use your NiCad device every single day and
recharge it every single day you will charge  it 365 times in a
year unless it happens during leap year which will increase it to
366 times unless you cross the international date line.  In any
event, if you have to recharge your batteries daily you may have
to replace your batteries after the first year.

If you need your device daily there is little you can do to
lengthen this life.  If you have the option of operating your
device on either NiCads or plugging it into the wall (what we
engineer types refer to as "AC"), plugging it into the wall will
lengthen this life.  Of course they will last longer if you don't
use them.  This isn't quite true however - see the last
paragraph.

In the real world, most devices don't draw a constant amount of
current.  Tape recorders draw a lot when rewinding and
fastforwarding but much less when just playing.  Microprocessors
have "sleep" modes which cause them to draw much less power when
they are not computing.  People forget and leave batteries dead
for weeks at a time and then find they don't hold a charge like
they used to.  Operating in cold temperatures and storing in hot
temperatures both cause problems.

If you leave your device on and it doesn't have a circuit to
protect the batteries against it, the batteries may get damaged. 
If NiCad batteries are completely shorted out, individual cells
may act as if they are plugged in backwards and then the whole
battery pack won't deliver the proper voltage.  When I advise you
to run batteries down completely, I am referring to the power
level your device considers as run down.  For example, when
Speak-Out's batteries are low it starts beeping.  If you keep
using it, it will shut itself down, preventing you from running
them down any further.  Speak-Out was designed to run the
batteries down to the minimum, safe limit.

My advice is this - when using NiCads let them run down
completely prior to recharging.  If you occasionally break this
rule it's not the end of the world but don't make it a habit. 
Also, if you have the option of using either AC or batteries, use
the AC.  But (and this is a big but) you should run the batteries
completely down a minimum of once per month or they will
"remember" that they don't have to deliver any power - and they
won't.

____________________
More Basic DOS
by Crista Shaikh

Are you ready for another batch file?  This one is simpler than
the last one, but no less useful.

In this example we'll learn a few new concepts.  We'll use EDIT
to create the file as we did in the previous example, but we'll
learn a little bit about how the PATH statement works.  You might
also incidentally learn how to make a directory and to change
into a new directory and a few new things about the DIR command.

The most difficult part about writing a batch file is deciding
what you want it to do within the limitations of DOS and the
software you have on your system.  This example uses simple DOS
commands that everyone who has DOS 5.0 or greater can do.

I often find I'd like to know the names of the last few files
I've saved.  I frequently make quick notes and save them in my
C:\NOTE directory, then want to take care of them in reverse
order.  In other cases I've misnamed my file and can't find it. 
If I could see the files in order by date and time, I'd find it
easily.  Sometimes I'd like to look at the files I last modified
on a certain date.

Before we can create a batch file, we need to know what the
commands are that will accomplish the job.  In this case, we're
using the DOS DIR command.  Did you know that DIR gives you the
option to display the subdirectories and files you list in a
specified order?  By default, DIR lists the commands in the same
order in which they actually appear in the directory.  If you
prefer, however, you can ask this command to list the files in
alphabetical order or listed in sequence according to one or more
criteria specified with the use of a "switch."

The "switch" you use to tell the DIR command to sort the
directory is /o.  Try this:

DIR /o

You'll find that the files and subdirectories in the current
directory are listed in alphabetical order.  The directory itself
has not been sorted, only the listing of the files.  If you later
execute the DIR command without the /o switch, you'll see that
the files are listed in the original order.

I want the files listed by date and time, though, not
alphabetically.  I discovered (okay, I read the HELP screen in
DOS 6.2) that I can use several parameters after the /o to tell
the switch exactly how to sort the directory.  "D" tells it to
sort by date and time, oldest first.  My line looks like this:

DIR /od

Now I have my most recent file or subdirectory at the bottom of
the list where I can conveniently find it and clip the name from
the screen.

I'll refine this a bit further.  If the last thing I did in this
directory was to create a subdirectory, I don't want that name to
show up as the last item in the list.  I'm only looking for file
names.  Adding "g" to the /o switch will allow me to list
subdirectories first, followed by file names.  So,

DIR /ogd

gives me a list of subdirectories in order with oldest at the top
and newest at the bottom followed by file names in the same
order-- exactly what I was after.

Now that we know what we want to do and how to get DOS to do it
for us, we could just spend a good part of each week typing in
that command.  If you're a fast and accurate typist, this command
probably takes you.. 1.63 seconds to type (more or less).  If
you're not fast or not accurate, however, or if you're inclined
to forget what all those mnemonic commands are, this little task
will probably take longer.  So, we'll put this command in a batch
file and let the file keep track of the exact syntax.

There are many correct ways to create and maintain batch files. 
One way is to create a BATCH subdirectory in which to store them
and to use EDIT (the editor that comes with DOS 5.0 or greater)
to type them in and edit them.

In the January and April issues of this newsletter we gave
examples of batch files to change the rate in Vocal-Eyes.  We put
the batch file into the same subdirectory as Vocal-Eyes, since
that
was the only place we would ever be likely to need it.  In this
case, however, we'd like to be able to use this command in any
directory.  So, we need to make sure that we place our new batch
file in a subdirectory which can be found by DOS.  We will rely
on the PATH statement to help DOS find the file.

Do you have a subdirectory into which you normally save your
batch files?  If so, you'll put this one there, too.  If not,
make one now.  Go to the DOS prompt and type:

MD\BATCH

and press enter.  MD stands for Make Directory and will, well,
make a directory.  Now that you've created it, you need to change
into it by typing:

CD\BATCH

and pressing enter.  Your prompt will probably change to
something like C:\BATCH>.

What should we call this batch file?  Something easy to remember
would be good.  For our example we'll use DIRSORT.BAT.  Type

EDIT DIRSORT.BAT

and press enter.  We typed EDIT because we wanted to run the EDIT
program.  We typed DIRSORT because that's the name of the batch
file we're editing or creating, and we added .BAT as the file
extension because we wanted DOS to know that this is a batch
file, not just any text file.

If you don't already have a file with this name in this
subdirectory, the EDIT program will come up and give you an empty
document screen in which to type.  Type in the following
commands:

@echo off
dir /ogd

You should press enter at the end of each line to be sure that
the two commands are on separate
lines.

The first line, as explained in the January issue of VV, tells
DOS not to display (or "echo") the commands in the batch file as
they are executed.  The second line is exactly the line you would
have typed if you had wanted to see a listing of the files in the
current directory in order with subdirectories first and files
last, sorted by date and time.

Save the file and exit EDIT.  Do this by pressing the Alt key by
itself, then the letter "F" for "File," then the letter "X" for
"eXit," followed by "Y" for "Yes" to save the file.  EDIT will
save the file and return you to the DOS prompt.

Try out the batch file.  Type DIRSORT and press enter.  If
DIRSORT  is the name of your batch file and you typed everything
correctly, you should get a listing of all the files in the BATCH
directory in order by date and time.  The last file listed should
be DIRSORT.BAT.

Did it work?  If so,  try changing directories to see if it keeps
working.  Type CD\ followed immediately by the name of a
subdirectory you're sure you have.  Don't put a space between the
backslash and the name of the subdirectory.  Try typing  DIRSORT
now.  Did it give you a sorted listing of files or did you get
"Bad command or file name?"  If everything was typed correctly
and DOS scolded you,  it means that DOS couldn't find the batch
file.  That's where the PATH statement comes in.

The PATH statement tells DOS where to find commands when it
doesn't immediately find them in memory or in the current
directory.  When you were in the BATCH directory where your file
was stored, DOS had no problem finding it, but now it may not be
able to locate the file.  If your BATCH subdirectory already
existed and was already specified in your path, however, DOS
found it and gave you a listing of the files as you requested.

If you'd like to add your BATCH subdirectory to your path, type
the following commands, pressing enter after each one:

C:
CD\
COPY AUTOEXEC.BAT AE.BAT
EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT

This assumes that you normally boot from your C drive and that
you have a path statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (don't worry
if you don't know what that is).  We've copied your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file to an identical file with the name AE.BAT so that you have a
duplicate in case you make a serious error in typing.

After typing all these commands, you should find yourself back in
EDIT with the contents of your AUTOEXEC on the screen.  Arrow
down until you get to the line that begins with PATH or SET PATH. 
Move your cursor to the end of that line.  If the last character
isn't a semicolon, put one there, then type the complete name of
your batch subdirectory, including the drive specifier.  This is
probably C:\BATCH.  Don't put any spaces anywhere.  By the way,
DOS limits the PATH statement to 128 characters.  There is a slim
possibility that you'll be exceeding that limit by adding to the
statement.  If that happens, the last item will be truncated (cut
off) and won't work.

Save the file and exit EDIT as you did before.  Reboot your
machine.  You can hold down the CONTROL and ALT keys and press
the DELETE key to do that.

Now, try your DIRSORT batch file again.  Did it work?  If so, try
changing directories to see if it works in another directory.  If
it does, you've typed everything correctly.  If not, check for
typos.

If you're using DOS 6.0 or greater and you'd like more
information on the PATH statement, type

HELP PATH

at the DOS prompt.  For help on DIR, type

HELP DIR

If you'd like to be able to specify wildcards and other switches,
add %1 to the DIR line of your DIRSORT batch files (see the
January 1995 issue of VV for an explanation).

If you're a bit creative, you'll find lots of ways to improve on
this batch file.

How to Find and Eradicate Computer Viruses
by Mike Lawler

In my last article about computer viruses I described what
viruses are and how to identify them on your computer.  In this
article I will discuss the operation of two common computer anti
viral programs.  The first of these programs is called MSAV and
it comes with MS-DOS 6.0 and above.  The second of these programs
is SCAN by McAfee Associates.  This program is shareware, costing
$25.00 per year.

First, I will discuss MSAV and how to use it.  Before you use
this program you should make sure that it is installed on your
hard drive.  By default MS-DOS 6.0 and above does not install
MSAV.  Consult your DOS installation or upgrade instructions to
learn how to install MSAV.   Next, you should read the MSAV DOS
help topic.  You can do this by typing the command

HELP MSAV

which will display several pages of information about MSAV.  The
simplest way to use MSAV is to execute the following command

MSAV /A /P

This command will scan all of your drives accept for A: and B:
for viruses.  A summary of the results will be listed when MSAV
has finished scanning your system.  You can use the /C parameter
to make MSAV clean viruses that it finds.  Another useful
parameter is /R, which causes MSAV to place a report file called
MSAV.RPT in the root directory of every drive that it scans. 
Their are two drawbacks to using MSAV.

1. MSAV places a file in each directory where files are scanned.
2. MSAV is updated infrequently which might cause new viruses to
be missed.

The advantage of using MSAV is that it is included free with
MS-DOS 6.0 and above.

SCAN by McAfee Associates is a shareware antiviral program that
can be downloaded from many BBS's including the GW Micro BBS at
219-484-0210.  To execute SCAN to scan all of your drives use the
following command

SCAN /ADL /ALL

This command will cause SCAN to scan all of your files on every
drive for viruses.  Add the /CLEAN parameter to clean viruses. 
SCAN is updated every four to eight weeks.  The current version
is 2.20.

As I said in my last article for the best protection you should
make a boot disk with your access software, FORMAT.COM,
FDISK.EXE, and your antiviral software in case your computer gets
infected.  Some viruses, such as Monkey, are actually TSR's which
prevent removal if they are in memory, so don't Monkey around get
busy, make that boot disk, and get familiar with antiviral
software before you need to use it.

Announcements

Did you know that Vocal-Eyes 3.0 is now shipping?  If you have
Vocal-Eyes 2.2 and you purchased it after December first, 1994,
the upgrade to Vocal-Eyes 3.0 will be free until the end of
August.  If your Vocal-Eyes 2.2 is older, the upgrade is fifty
dollars.  A demonstration version of Vocal-Eyes 3.0 can be found
on our bulletin board (219 484-0210) if you'd like to try it out.

Window-Eyes, GW Micro's screen access program for Windows 3.1 and
3.11 is scheduled to be release on September 1, 1995!  If you own
Vocal-Eyes 2.2 or greater or purchase it before September first,
you'll be able to buy Window-Eyes at the special price of
$250.00.  This offer extends through November 30th, 1995. 
Vocal-Eyes users who haven't upgraded yet and who request an
upgrade will receive the 3.0 upgrade at no charge.  If you have
an older version of Vocal-Eyes, call us for details on upgrading.

By the way, if you'd like to get both Vocal-Eyes 3.0 and
Window-Eyes but don't want to wait until Window-Eyes comes out to
be able to use your new Vocal-Eyes, be sure to tell us that you'd
like to split the order into two shipments.  You'll need to order
them together to get the special prices, but you don't have to
wait until September to try out Vocal-Eyes 3.0.

Due to the popularity of the VoiceCard, the notebook-compatible
synthesizer from PulseData, we have decided to permanently lower
the price to $999.00.  The VoiceCard is a type II PCMCIA speech
synthesizer that works with Vocal-Eyes, Open Book, Window-Eyes,
and many other products.

Notebook Computers at Special Prices

GW Micro has several Toshiba 1910 notebook computers in stock. 
We are offering these at the special price of $1495.00, including
carrying case, 200-Megabyte hard drive, and four Megabytes of
RAM, expandable to 20 Megabytes.  Each includes a type III PCMCIA
slot.  These are 486-33 notebooks which weigh six and one-half
pounds.  Although this price does not include speech, adding the
VoiceCard, Speak-Out, or DECtalk Express and Vocal-Eyes to these
would make them ideal portable systems.

If you can get by with a little less power, you might like the
Toshiba 1900, a 486-SX 25 MHz notebook with a 120-Megabyte hard
drive and four Megabytes of RAM for $1295, including the custom
carrying case.  

GW Micro held it's first Dealer Training Meeting March thirtieth
through April first.  We wish to acknowledge those dealers who
made the effort to attend our meeting and learn about our
existing products and receive training on our newest product,
Window-Eyes. 

Not only did these people learn about Window-Eyes, but their
input helped to make Window-Eyes a better product.  We thank them
for their help and encourage our customers to give them a call if
they are interested in purchasing a GW Micro product.  We have
many other dealers not listed here that did not attend our
meeting so please give us a call if you wish the name of another
dealer near you.  They are listed here in order by state and
we've listed the name of the attendee, the company name and their
telephone number.  The state gives their location but does not
limit or define their sales territory.
