CONVERTING DATA FROM QUICKEN
       Quicken is a registered trademark of the Intuit corporation.

           WinCheck can import data through the WinCheck Control
           Language.  This language is discussed in section xx.
           Quicken versions 3.0 and 4.0 can export data in the
           Quicken Interchange Format (QIF).  QIF is a plain text
           file that has standard tags, and this is the format
           required for the Converter.  Please refer to your Quicken
           Manual for the QIF description.

           The WinCheck Quicken Converter is a separate application
           that will generate a WinCheck control file from the QIF
           file.  Here is an example of how to convert your 1991 data
           from Quicken to WinCheck:
             1.  Run Quicken.  Load in your 1991 data.  Note your
                 starting balances.
             2.  From Quicken, choose "Export" from the menu.

             3.  For this example, let's call the export file
                 EXP1991.EXP.
             4.  Once you have exported this file, exit Quicken.
             5.  Enter Windows, and double click on the WinCheck
                 Converter icon.  Or, choose Run from the File menu
                 and specify QUICK34.EXE.
             6.  You will see an empty Window, with a convert menu.
                 Choose From Quicken Version 3 or 4 from the Convert
                 menu.

             7.  A dialog box asking for the Quicken Exported filename
                 will appear.  Use this dialog to find the file
                 EXP1991.EXP.  Indicate in this dialog if the account
                 to convert is a Checking account, a Savings account,
                 or a Credit account.
             8.  Once you have located this file, press the Convert
                 button.
             9.  An hourglass will appear.  The WinCheck Converter is
                 busy converting yur data.
                 After a while (5-60 seconds, depending on your data),
                 the Converter will display a message stating that the
                 conversion is complete.  The file Q34CONV.WCB has
                 been created.

             10. Close the WinCheck Converter.
             11. Run WinCheck.
             12. Specify a new account.  For example, we will use Y91.
             13. Specify a Checking/Cash account, Checking/Savings
                 account, or a Credit Card account.

             14. IMPORTANT:  Change the Starting Date field in the
                 Account Info dialog to 1/91  (for this example).
             15. Fill in the description of the account with anything
                 you want.
             16. Fill in the starting balances.
             17. Press the OK button.
             18. Define a checkbook or press OK.

             19. Note that your starting balances are for the start of
                 the year.  Now it is time to import in the data.
             20. Choose Run/Edit WinCheck Command File from the Acct
                 menu.
             21. Use the dialog to locate Q34CONV.WCB .
                 This conversion process will take a long time.
                 Typical conversion times run from 1 minute to 30
                 minutes, depending on the speed of your computer and
                 the amount of data to convert.  Make sure you have
                 the time available.

             22. Press the Run button.
             23. Once the conversion is complete, the register will
                 display your converted data and your current balance.

          Conversion Issues:

           Quicken uses Categories:Subcategories/Classes.  WinCheck
           uses only Categories and Subcategories.  WinCheck will
           combine the Class and category into one category.  For
           example, "Utility:Electric/PERSONAL" will be changed to
           "PERSONAL/Utility:Electric".  "PERSONAL/Utility" is the
           category, and "Electric" is the subcategory.

           Quicken's export files do not specify the type of
           transaction.  WinCheck will do the best that it can to
           convert your transactions to the same type (i.e. Checks to
           Checks).  If WinCheck finds a transaction of an unknown
           type,  it will create a Misc transaction.  This will
           accurately track your dollar amount.
           WinCheck will not convert investments from Quicken 4.0.
